Yay for falling asleep at 6pm and waking up at 2 am. Yeah, that was pretty crazy.

I think I might have needed to sleep then, though.

This part gets a wee bit medical, not for softies.

*warning: medical answer follows*

get that appointment hon,

with spleen defeciency, period hurts due to lack of blood flow (same can be said wth liver blood deficiency). that would explain wehat your teach saw in your tongue. she should also take your pulse to make sure, on top of asking even more personal questions (just getting you ready *g*) look in the mirror at your sublingual veins, if they are dark that means that there is blood stagnation. as for the sudden pain that is usually due to wind cold. cold, as you can prolly guess, slows things down ;)

anyway enough babbling from the doc in training. get checked. she will probably give you some herbs to tonify your spleen and probably liver along with promoting blood circulation.

as for the needling get some 1 cun (measured inch) needles. those are the most used. 1/2 cun needles are more for the face and closer to the wrist and maybe ankle and foot where there is less flesh to poke.

have fun and good luck *hugs*

Thank you for the advice. I think you're very onto what's going on with me. I was putting off making an appointment because I'm poor until I saw this n my veins. Oh my Gods...

All babblage is appreciated :-)
