My doctor told me that about 1% of patients experience an altered state after acupuncture, comparable to being drunk or high. I did not feel that, but I am very tired now, and full of little tiny holes. Weird.

Where pain and pleasure hug each other
Today I had acupuncture for the first time in my life. I experienced pain when the doctor touched my injury to find "the spot" that needs healing, then pleasure (of sorts) when my body's own endorphines were released during the acupuncture treatment. During the acupuncture it felt like the site of my injury was dancing or pulsating. It was very surreal.
