My wake up call
Today I would like to share my personal experience that happened just few months ago...
I'm a engineer, overwork, overstress & not enough rest
Last year I had chronic gastric pain for 1 week
& had to go through "gastroscopy" that found over level of stomach acid
The cause ? As mentioned: "overwork , overstress & not enough rest"
I just took medicine whenever had gastric pain & thought that was it, the end.
Was I so wrong, this year in June, One morning...
Like every morning, crawling out from bed, I couldn't get up, my legs was so weak & numb
that I couldn't even stand !!! After a while, I try to stand & can only stand for a few minutes
I was scare, my wife was scared. My wife had to send me to hospital as I was still able to walk to the car
My wife had to use a wheel chair for me to see the doctor, after a couple of MRI that was so exhausting & expensive,
the doctor found I had "scoliosis" or curve spine since childhood which I didn't know until now !
Apparently, this condition along with stressful state that I'm in, have worsen my nervous system
at 4th spinal cord which causes the nerve to be blocked.
The doctor said that this illness cannot be cured unless major operation but can still be maintain
with medication (medication again !?!!)
Later, ,my sister recommended me to see a Chinese doctor, this doctor was such a "character",
She's 70 year old aunty with a 50 year old physique, tomboy dress code & a "tough love" attitude to boot !!!
After going through my MRI's & diagnose, she performed a "plum flower needle" treatment on me to take out all
the clogged blood which accumulated & blocked my nerves, the needle need to apply to the
pressure point at the back, legs, lower back & "tail bone" !!!
That's right, "tail bone". Which required my "back door" had to be hold open by hand .The treatment is basically
continuous knocking with the needle to open holes at the affected area so that "bad blood" can be sucked out,
The most excruciating area is definitely at the "tail bone" area, the doctor asked me to count
when she was "knocking", I was in such pain, I was only able to exhale & pant profusely !!!
After the treatment, I asked her what medication that I should take? She scolded me & told me no medicine is needed,
what needed is to just "EXERCISE", eat more vegetables & most importantly love you body !!!
I took that to heart, I started exercise & workout, eat more vegetables & try to take my "work" at the work place only
so that I won't bring it back home.
I would like to say thanks to my wife who supported me, the doctor & the aunty who scolded me,
I can't say that I'm fully cured but a few months of exercise & healthy diet, surprisingly I've loss 3kg
Lucky for me, that's my wake up call which I will never forget & grateful to had !!!
