i was seeing a lady 1 hour away and i was having anxiety attacks after she would leave me in the room with the needles in. i know it sounds really silly but i get claustrophobic and think that i cant get up because of all the needles and panic if i'm alone in the room....crazy i know

But i guess im saying i need to see someone that will understand my phobia and not just leave me as they have another client in another room - i can be demanding i know - but i think i will get over it just got to get back into it IYKWIM
If you are having issues with the needles - why not switch to someone who does laser or electrolical acupunture?

Mum gets the laser Acp. with her normal GP for back pain and she swears by it. My brother's herbalist does it electrolical and he swear by that too - his herbalist is in Kew though.

Also - don't know what IVF clinic you are going through but they use to do laser acupunture at Melb IVF at Freemasons - you would have to check if they still do though because I have no idea.
