[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1022668, member: 73592"] I tried the acclimatisation thing - I learnt, and then used dry needling (Western Acupuncture) for 6-7 years. I got to the stage where I was mostly okay (nervous, but controllable) sticking needles in other people, but still got shaky and nervous sticking them in myself (which is not a good look when you're trying to reassure someone how harmless they are by demonstrating on yourself). I quite when A] I moved, and had to jump through a number of hoops to be allowed to continue, and B] Someone else had started in town that I could trust to refer patients to. That was 10 years ago, and I've de-acclimatised since then. Yesterday was wierd for me - I expected my deltoid to be sore after being stabbed, but not everything from my forearm to my neck, to feel like it had taken a good rucking. A headache threatened, but never really took hold; but I just had no energy - I was expecting fatigue - like 1-2 bad nights sleep; which is normal enough for me; but... I basically stayed in bed all day, no appetite, couldn't even concentrate enough to read my book (thank gods for cricket, even if it was disappointing, and over rather quickly for a 5-day test!). A few hours after the jab I fell asleep on the sofa - which is virtually unehard of for me, then slept a good 9-10 hours which is unheard of for me; then through the day yesterday I probably got another 5-6 hours of sleep in. Last night was much closer to normal, earlier than usual getting to sleep, but waking at my normal (dammit!) 3.30. Arm this morning is basically fine - aware of the site of injection, but only if I actually think about and test it. [/QUOTE]
