Qi and butt fat

This week I entered into the most interesting world of Eastern medicine. I voluntarily laid down on a table and had 12 needles stuck into me with the notion that I would be better because of it. Incredibly, I barely felt the needles, but definitely felt a sort of radiant heat as they did the cleansing they were charged to do. I had put a huge challenge in front of her... assorted joint pain, post nasal river running and butt fat. Is she up to the challenge? Or is it the need for qi (chi) to flow better? Or do I have 'damp'? All of these are new terms to me, but somehow...my knee and my left hand feel better. Unfortunately, none of my pants have yet fallen down when I stood up. I'll let you know if there is any progress on that front.
