Why I did that? Simple, I had been thinking of trying to improve my blood circulation. However, it was to no avail. It is very frustrating. Then I thought of TCM. I tried before in Ma Guang. However, after a while, the effects of the medicines worn off. So to try something new, I thought that maybe going to the shop at my place downstairs would be good. Afterall, if the physician did not do a good job, I can easily go to his shop and complain. Plus, I do not have to spend on transport. So there, I went this morning after taking urgent leave.
The physician advised me to have acupuncture, followed by massage. So I tried. According to what the physician shown my mom who was with me, I had one leg shorter than the other due to the heavy things I carried on one of my shoulders. Plus, I had very stiff muscles on my left side of the body, thereby causing migrane on that area most of the time.
How the experience was like: First, I was asked to lay on a massage bed, facing down. Then I heard plastic bags being torn. The physician told me to relax so that there would not be so much pain when the needles were inserted. I actually did not know that he had started poking me until I left a slight pain on my right neck. Then slowly, the needles were poked onto my body and legs. After that, there was a light sending warmness to my body. I had to lay on my front for about 15 minutes. Then the needles were taken off me and the physician began to massage my body. He also did a few cupping. He told me that there were red marks on my body, showing that I was always very tired. After that, I paid for a discounted price for the session.
Whether this will remove my migrane, I am not sure. I have to go back again to do the whole process. But I must say that after I have done this, I feel sleepy now. But it was a good experience. At least, I do not see the needles, or else I may faint or get scared.
Hopefully, God, this is the physician You have sent to me to heal me of my migrane, giddiness and tightness in my shoulder area. I also want to go for shoulder massage. So Lord, please help me to keep track of my finances and not go overboard with it. In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.
