Collective Complaints

the people are having allergies. and a cold. or is it just allergies? or maybe it’s just a little cold? or both? or? any which way, it’s itchy, sneezy, snotty, and tired.

lots of people are getting (or got) pregnant this week. some people were trying (with the help of acupuncture) and some people weren’t.

many people fall asleep during acupuncture treatments, but not all. some people just rest. some people lay, with the needles in, but aren’t actually able to rest. some people feel quite restless during treatments. we’re all different, right? well, this week every single person has fallen asleep. each one of them told me how deeply they slept and how great it felt.

lots of break ups right now.

a lot of people are having a hard time sleeping this week. is it the full moon? or is it the strangely spring-like winter we’re having in san francisco?

people keep telling me how good they feel. they seem surprised by it. they feel better than usual.

lots of fertility support work this week. and everyone seems to be on the same IVF cycle.

people are tired this week. is it the short, dark days? or the holiday recovery? or?

upper back, neck, and shoulder pain seems to be the shared complaint of this week.

people are irritated this week. they are angry, frustrated, and over it.
