A visit to the TCM.

Although I seem to on the road to recovery, judging by my hunger level the entire day, I still haven't. Plus, Ah dear and mama thinks that I should go to the TCM for some herbs/remedies since western medicine cannot seem to help me too much.


So, there we go! Went with mama and lotus because she also needs to see a doctor. Haha. I tried to make her look like a minnie mouse with the ribbon. But, erm, she doesn't have that two ears. So, doesn't really look like it eh. Lol.




The clinic we went to is at Yishun, Blk 925. Close enough, since we just have to take a straight bus there. Everyone had been raving good reviews about the clinic. Wah, say until the doctor is a 神医 (magical doctor) like that! And these people are my relatives. So, believe it a little. Since he had made  四姨 felt better when no other doctors could.



And the clinic had to make their certificate SO BIG! Lol! Okok, I realllllly believe you are certified. Hehs.



Well, the moment I open the door, I want to run away immediately. My gawd! The smell is too strong le ba?! As in the smell of the medicated oil. Gosh. Argh. And mama was saying "wah, the smell is sooo nice!". No, I beg to differ. Haha.


Well, the doctor must be from China because he ends up speaking some dialect to the lady (which I assumed was his wife cum assistant). Hehs. Hmmm. I just keep reminding myself, he is REALLY GOOD! And accordingly to the 'painting' below, he cures almost every sort of funny disease! Hahaha! And I would label mine as one, since no one had cured me yet and my endoscopy results were really good!



And ok, he started with Lotus and ended up giving her some medications.


And then come my turn. (Before that, he wanted me to write my name in Chinese. My gawd, it felt so difficult to write! Hahaha!) He din tell me anything that I din know of already. And he din say anything that the Dr Ho and Dr Goh had not told me already. But, 2 things he did so super differently!




  1. He pressed my tummy so SUPER SUPER hard! Wah, I would have think I would say it's painful without having gastric at that particular moment lo.

  2. He actually ACUPUNCTURED me!



(Have to find photos online because I had no hands to take my own photo. LOL!)


Urm, it was not entirely an enjoyable experience. I had one needle on each wrist, each knee and 2 on my tummy. I can totally feel things flowing through the veins and nerves and arteries etc. Haha. There's some wierd sensation that I don't like. At the end of it, my wrist was sooooo tired. It really felt like the aftermath of an injection. Haha. No, I din really feel much better, I would say.


And after that, I had 3 medicine. I feel so insecure taking them. I don't know what's in them and he don't tell me what's inside. I can always google my medication but, this time round, I couldn't. I just have to trust the doctor to give me the right things! Oh bleahs. And by the way, the black black medication taste really bad. >.<


AND AND AND! I dunno if it's the stuffs that I had ate the entire day, or it's the medications, I had super bad gastric at night. Even though I had gastric almost the entire 2 weeks, it wasn't to the extent of crippling pain. I can't even walk yesterday. It was terrible. Plus, taking the medication again at night caused me extreme pain. WHAT DID HE GAVE ME?!! I don't dare to imagine. Haha.


Well, my mama ask me to stop the medication until the convo's over. Haha. Alright, I am more than willing to agree!


And, hehs, I wonder if mixing the western medicine and the chinese medicine is bad. But I listened to the doctor and take them 1 hour apart le! OH WELLS..................
