Acupuncture

so i have had knee problems for a long time. my friend injured her shoulder and did physio for a long time without any improvement. she tried acupuncture and said it worked.  i thought i would give it a try and found a deal in twango for 3 visits for only 300 dollars.  i popped in and have found it helps.  i dont have a fear of needles and used to give blood in the city regularly.

i went last night and actually cried out a couple of times.  she asked me if i was eating a lot of sticky rice.  i dont eat sticky rice.  i do with a bit of sushi but thats all.  she said some patients say sticky rice affects their joints.  i asked her if it was the gluten because i had a lot of pasta lately (leading up the dragon boat festival race) and she didnt seem to understand.

she also told me not to eat so much spicy food as it interferes with my chi.  so no carbs and no spice - whats a girl to do??
