My heart absolutely breaks for you. I applaud your courage to speak your pain, yet I am so sad that you're experiencing it. Please do not give up!
Re: acupuncture-- The first few sessions might actually aggravate some of your symptoms, but then they should start to improve. In my experience, it took more like eight to ten sessions, but hopefully you'll see improvement within your six session time frame.
I sometimes felt a little spacey or tired afterward, but not quite what you're describing. That's what makes me think it's the initial aggravating of conditions before things improve. At least you can tell it's having an impact, right?
