Mine hooked me up to currents at my first treatment on Monday. The currents were only on the needles on my hands (thumb area) and knees... at least that I felt. I had needles in my abdomen and right above my ovaries... also in my ankles I think. The current was a weird feeling, but where my needles were it felt more like a 'twitch' or pulse. When he turned it on, he asked me to tell him when I felt it and made sure that I felt comfortable with it. He didn't want it to be on too much, but enough so I could feel it.
No herbs or pills at this point. Although, I believe he is going to give me Vitamin D to replace the Vitamin D3 I have been taking. He says with the store bought Vitamin D3, you probably won't notice any increase in Vitamin D levels when a test is done. However, if I take straight up Vitamin D a test should show improved levels rather quickly. Plus I wouldn't be taking as much as I am right now to get there. He sells it in his office for the same price I paid for the Vitamin D3 at the store, so I think I will give it a go.
That may be the only thing for now. He says I am on too much stuff as it is. Or as he put it, too much 'junk.' He seemed okay with me being on Pregnitude, but he doesn't understand why I am still on Metformin if the Pregnitude is helping me better. He also said prenatal vitamins are pretty close to a joke, but since he didn't really explain to me WHY I am definitely not willing to give those up. Then, I am also on the meloxicam for my knee injury still and I have an albuterol inhaler for seasonal allergies... and I mentioned I just stopped the phentermine. He doesn't want to conflict with my family doc or my OBGYN, but he definitely made it known that he thinks I am on way too much 'junk.' We will see what direction he goes in future appointments. I have only had one so far, my next one is Monday. I will be going once a week for the next month. He says he wants to see me for at least 5 weeks, then we can see how things are going.
