Visit Six

Crowded in the office today.  One lady in serious pain. I was on my way to Body Flow (Tai Chi, Pilates, Yoga) after my adjustment so I guess I must be doing much better than some people. Still have pain in right side neck, mid back and lower back. The TENS felt great.  (I keep capitalizing TENS because I am thinking it is an acronym, but haven't googled it yet to see if I am right).  Every time I go in, I have to fill out a sheet marking current pain, pain level, etc.  He adjusted the right side and also my ear due to the earache. He said to watch it because it may be due to allergies, sinus, etc.  The ear actually felt better after he adjusted it.  Several hours later, I sit here typing and I do have neck pain and pain right below my neck which I really do believe is due to the adjustments.  I read some more research on the adjustments with the neck and in a few cases people have suffered a stroke within 24 hours of being adjusted. There is controversy on this.  Some say it is directly related to the adjustment and some say that the person was already having stroke symptoms or prone to a stroke anyway.  There is so much information out there on pros and cons, successes and failures.  I can't really tell if Dr. Chiro is helping or not. I am still skeptical after six visits so we press on.  Did not get in bed till midnight last night partly due to the coffee I drank at 5:00. Slept okay with 5mg of Melatonin.
