I went to see Dr. L, my new acupuncturist yesterday. I told her about my esophagus pain and my tiredness. She is treating me to increase fluid (saliva, etc.) to help with the esophagus burn as well as to boost my immune system and improve energy. She took my pulse and told me my liver is working very hard (so my liver is not in good condition), so that is the reason why I can't sleep well (Dr. M also told me about this before). But she said considering everything I went through, I am still doing pretty good. Anyway I noticed this morning my esophagus is much better (like 50% better than the last few days)! I don't know if it is solely because of the acupuncture or what but I'm happy. Today, I had some sandwich without a pain medicine. If I can just get my appetite back I should be ok! It's been like a month since I ate a normal meal so I have to get used to eating normal amount of food.
By the way I am drinking Kefir (strawberry flavor) and it taste pretty good. Actually tastes better than I remember. I gave some to Kai and he liked it, too.
Kai has a little fever today - so he's little bit cranky. But he still has an appetite so he should be better soon.

It is great to hear you are feeling better. One step at a time. You are already miles ahead of where you were and will continue to get better.
Well I am really glad to hear that the acupuncturist worked well for you. I agree with you totally about the holistic approach to your medical care. Sadly, western medecine has not caught up with that philosophy yet.
So, did the acupuncturist hurt at all? I think it would freak me out if someone stuck needles in me.
