&nbsp;

Calm down, Mother.  Your daughter is not a Late Blooming druggie.

&nbsp;

Nope.  I tried acupuncture.

&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2012/05/05/owie-has-this-ever-happened-to-you/" target="_blank"><strong>Remember when I waaa waaa waaa'd about my RSI?</strong></a>  Not one, but TWO friends told me about their TWO friends and so on and so on whose RSIs were cured by acupuncture!

&nbsp;

In the spirit of serendipity, I just so happened to come across a Groupon offering two acupuncture sessions for $29!  At that price, how could I not give it a try?

&nbsp;

Calm down again, Mother.  I, of course, checked out <a href="http://www.hiddenrhythmacupuncture.com/Tempe%20Acupuncture%20Clinic/Acupuncturist%20Craig%20Amrine/Acupuncturist%20Craig%20Amrine.html" target="_blank"><strong>the credentials of the acupuncturist</strong></a> who was too legit for me to quit my acupuncture experiment.

<strong><span style="color: #339966;">Outcome:</span>  </strong>Holy Human Pin Cushion, Batman!  Getting stuck with countless needles can be a little freaky, but sometimes it's not such a bad thing to get your freak on.  I think the acupuncture may have helped my RSI.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Current dilemma:</strong> </span> On the day of my second appointment, I was in sinus hell.  Yes, while many of you are currently freezing your tushies off, the denizens of my fair city are still enjoying (?) 85 degrees and never-ending sunshine which equates to never-ending pollen.

&nbsp;

I figured that I would get my sinuses acupunctured as well.  You know, two ailments for the price of one?  (Did this make the Groupon quadruple in value?)

&nbsp;

<strong><span style="color: #339966;">Outcome of Sinus Hell:</span>  </strong>I am still in it.

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #339966;"><strong>For the love of all things holy and sacred, please share your allergy and sinus cures below.</strong></span>

&nbsp;

Thank you for your support.

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #339966;"><strong>Oh, and if you've ever tried acupuncture, please tell us about that, too.  </strong></span>

&nbsp;

I'm off to use my Neti pot.

&nbsp;

Cheers, dahlings.
