When to use acupuncture: Mononucleosis

Recently I treated a teacher who had Mono for 8 weeks. She was normally a very active person, a runner, but now she felt exhausted. She stayed in bed all day and was foggy brained. After her first acupuncture appointment the fogginess lifted and her brain felt clear. Her energy returned to about 70% of normal. After her second visit her energy was at 90% of normal and I encouraged her to wait one more week before she started running again so that her body would have a chance to fully regain it's strength. The following week she was 100% and ready for the new school year.
