First, the big medical update.

I don't know how to say this, but, ummm...........there is nothing wrong with me.

Yes- that's right. Nothing.

Turns out I had what could be termed an "overdose" reaction to some Chinese herbal medication prescribed for me back in May and June of 2008.

Totally fucked with my hormonal system, which in turn caused killer migraine, vertigo, anxiety, motion sickness, photosensitivity to fluorescent lighting, and last but not least, chin hair. Not shin hair, CHIN hair. One actual hair. In the same place. I will not say more about it.



So what I should say is that everything is right with me. My body was reacting just the way it should have to something weird and not ok.



I began to feel better toward the end of this year, and got confirmation of the situation from a very wonderful acupuncturist my mother in law recommended. This acupuncturist, Edith Lee, also specializes in herbal medicine. She looked at my prescription from the TCM clinic and she told me what symptoms I had probably been having. She was totally right on.



I feel such relief, I feel so sad for the lost time, I feel so amazed that I found myself in this place where I was questioning everything about how I do my life.

Thank you to the woman who wrote the wrong dosage on the label of that brown bottle. Was her name Betty? I think it was.

Dear Betty-
Thank you for introducing me to Now. I am grateful. I am hoping I don't forget everything I remembered.
Yours,
Jennifer
