Bleeding Stopped

When I started chiropractic in early Feb. I had been passing blood with every bowel movement since mid - Sept. Conventional medicine had nothing to tell me except to take ever-increasing amounts of fiber and water. One to two weeks after I started, the bleeding just stopped. It came back for a couple weeks in March, but I took Herb-Lax and then began acupuncture and it has been gone since.

I was also on Zoloft and Buspar for anxiety, but neither were doing much for me. I stopped Zoloft in late March, started Nux Vomica (homeopathic) in early April and just stopped taking Buspar (late April...right before finals! I'm a first year law student) and I am so glad I did. I no longer have that medicated sense of calm with underlying anxiety - instead I have the underlying sense that I'm in a safe place and I can deal with my anxiety from there.

In general, I seem to process things more quickly now. When I get upset or scared now, I cry or scream or whatever instead of repressing it and getting a stomach ache two days later. If I'm sitting with poor posture, my body tells me right away and just a little adjustment in my back can feel really great. It's all so much more subtle than I expected and the only effort it requires is scheduling three sessions / week. Well, that and convincing doctors I no longer wanted their medication.
