Time to take care of yourself.
|
I have been physically thin, yet it seems I've never had any big health problems. However, as i get older, especially recently I was forced to pay more attention to my health conditions. In the last summer, I feared to enter air-conditioned rooms. Facing delicious food, I just didn't dare to eat a mouthful, even water i only sipped a little. Otherwise my stomach would rebel violently. To make things evern worse, I would possible not able to stand, for my head could spin around. And you never know when it would come. I have consulted doctors and they all said it is because the blood flowing into the head is insufficient. In other words, the vessels, somewhere on the way, is somehow partly obstructed. Oh my Gosh! Without enough blood, my brain would starve. The possible consequences scared me.
The changing point in my life came in a dramatic way. After watching the perfomances by my wife and her friends, I felt a little dizzy. I didn't take it seriously, thinking at least I was able to get home safe and sound. However, riding on the motorcycle, I realized the problem this time was different. When the traffic lights turned red, I stopped my vehicle, supporting myself with my two legs on both sides. But I was just unable to pull the supporting leg of the motorcycle. I would have fallen if I had done it. Then and there i was in the middle of a busy street! I called out for help. And a kind car driver got out and did it for me. Seeing I was leaning against the driving bar, unable to move, he called 110. You can imagine the situation I was in, surrounded by various vehcles tooting their horns. Finally i was rescued by the 110 policemen, who called 120 afterwards. It could be as miserable as anything imaginable if you lose control of your own body. I just wish modern medicine had reached a level that could help people like me to fight against this disease.

- Hey Rich. So happy to hear from you again. Relieved to know that your condition has improved. According to my own experience, we cannot rely entirely on the medical professionals because they themselves have admitted that their abilities are limited and they have yet to understand 10% of cells. nerves and the brain. They have not identified any problems with your body organs, so evidently the source of your problems is the brain. It could have something to do with aging or other age related situations. Hope the doctors in Shanghai could identify the problem. Watch your nutrition intake and exercise regularly if that is appropriate. Take care my friend.
Yes, the ferry collision at our beautiful harbour has shocked us and the world on the mid-autmun festival day. Thanks for your consolation.

- sunnyv: Hey Rich. So happy to hear from you again. Relieved to know that your condition has improved. According to my own experience, we cannot rely entirelyThe improvement is mostly due to the improved digestion of food, i presume. at the very beginning they tried to expand my blood vessels, but with no obvious result. then they believed that it was caused by the obstruction at the neck. i do have cervical spondylosis. but again they didn't find a direct link. then they thought my hearing nerves might have gone wrong, for i have had tinitus. once again they failed to find evidence through MRI. my mind will not be at ease if the real cause is not identified. so i just hope in Shanghai I would meet a doctor who can help me. yes you're right. nutrition intake and proper exercise are of great importance. thanks for everything!
