After drinking a power drink at the club, I had a severe allergic reaction. I had hives that would get worse after eating. I had heart palpitations, twisting pains in the intestines, stabbing pains over the liver, and difficulty in having bowel movements. During the acupuncture treatment I felt the itchiness and burning calm down and a sense of well being that I hadn't experienced for days, and within a few days the hives were completely gone.
