I have a friend (former art teacher) who works at that Columbia accupuncture school!

Whoops--I suppose I should say something med related, since this is not PSB. I tried accupuncture for insomnia (my accupuncturist was a terrific master from Colombia, SA, I believe. When I was first diagnosed and on all these meds (including Xanax), I was suffering from grief—and anxiety and depression because of it.

Sometimes she stuck the needles in, and I cried like a baby—even on days I was feeling chipper. And sometimes I just relaxed. My sister had the flushed/hot kind of reaction to the needles, too; it's normal, just increased energy (aka blood flow) to the areas.

I stuck with it for two months, but my progress varied, and it really seemed to do nothing for me. But sometimes that hour to yourself (when you have children, especially) is pretty valuable. Then again, I'd rather spend it having a vigorous massage or a European facial! (Alas, both not covered by insurance!)
