Dear Greycat96,
Sometimes people's symptoms temporarily worsen as the body receives reiki (or other healing), in an attempt to throw off the problem more quickly. Naturopaths and others who work holistically refer to this as a healing crisis - it can actually be a good sign of your body working harder to clear a problem.
For example, a friend asked me to reiki her migraine. For 10 minutes towards the middle of the session she actually experienced the worst pain she had ever felt, however it then fell away quickly, then disappeared. What normally took 24 hours or so to diminish went entirely after 40 minutes of treatment. She subsequently did reiki I for herself. After being a lifelong sufferer of migraine, she no longer gets them. Mind you, she also uses reiki daily now, so her overall health is much better.
Good luck with whatever your health issue is.
Suzibeth
