I'm still fighting the itching. Right now, it's my arms and just this week my neck again. I had a follow up appointment with Dr. Li, the acupuncturist. She was happy with my progress, wanted me to continue more with the treatment before putting me on a detox diet. I don't know. I want to stay with the treatment but at $75 per session 1-2 times per week, it's hard to justify. I feel the diet connection is real. Every time I eat something bad, I have a reaction. This week two days ago I went to a vegan restaurant. While you'd think that's good food, the food was loaded with sugar. Apparently to make the food tasty they up the sweetness. Well, that night, and the next day I started to itch more and more. The good news is that, in the past when I scratched like I did, my arm and wrist would be very red, raw and flaming. Now, it's so so. Parts have already calmed down. But the worrisome part is that my neck itches. It hasn't itched in more than a month.
I'm going back to a veggie diet. Well, I caved and just tonight made a chocolate drink with a tablespoon of agave. I hope that doesn't cause me to react.
The diet isn't everything. I think that when I'm worked up and flustered, my body reacts. Yesterday, last night, I itched a lot. I spent the whole evening cleaning my place, so maybe the "stress" from that contributed to reaction.
