Acupuncture

I've just started to get acupuncture in the hope that it will help me fight nausea and low energy levels. I've learned that cancer centers often offer acupuncture as part of an integrative approach to treating the whole patient. It does not in any way replace conventional therapies, but it can help with side effects and symptom relief. 

So I'm giving it a try. Nothing earth-shattering has happened so far, after two sessions, but I may be feeling a little better. We'll see how it goes. Even if it only has placebo value, that would be useful.

Meanwhile, spring is advancing. The temperatures have been strange, though: unseasonably hot for a few days and then much, much colder. Today we're expecting near record-breaking heat, while next Monday is predicted to be 35° F (19° C) cooler.

I do love spring, though. It's the season of recovery and hope.

Spring is advancing.
