Lynsey,
I think your experience was pretty interesting. :) I don't think that
people should so easily dismiss the (I can't think of the right word for
it) talents of psychics or healers. I don't necessarily believe that
healers can heal and psychics can read your mind, but I do feel that
many who go to these people walk away with a sense of clarity and can
take a few suggestions (as long as they're not too "out-there") and
direct them in a positive way. I in no way support totally ignoring
your doctor and/or physician to listen to those who are not medically
trained, but if going to a psychic or crystal healer makes you feel
better, emotionally or otherwise, then I don't see the harm in it. Just
be sure to go to your doctor regularly as well. :) I've had alot of
weird experiences in my life where I knew things/events that were about
to happen before they happened (even as a child barely able to talk) and
I'm open to a realm of possibilities. I do think that certain things
are unexplainable and we should research and learn as much as we can
about ourselves, before we make hasty and irrational decisions.
Sometimes, taking medications that are not right for you or your body
can be irrational, but because a Medical Doctor prescribed them, we feel
that his or her choice to put us on that particular med was rational. I
guess to sum it up, I think that you should continue to go to your
doctor, or find another one to go to that can better help you and if on
the side you feel that going to a crystal healer/natural healer and/or
psychic can make you feel better about yourself and maybe even lessen
the pains you feel, then go for it. Just take the time to research the
methods and ways they "heal" you so you can judge for yourself whether
they are right for you.
:) Good luck!
