In unexpected terms, I went for my first cupping today (no, it is nowhere as scary as the pictures you see on Google images) - it was quite simple. It hurts a little but I was feeling ticklish.
I was, am, in a dilemma. Radioiodine (RAI) or try hollistic method. A part of me just want to be oh so done with this, but another part of me just wanna find another way out, a chance. It was a very tough decision to make and I woke up constantly with RAI on the front of my mind. It is the first thing I instinctively think about when I open my eyes and my brain kick into function. I felt really down and whenever I got the chance to be alone, I reflect on the choices I have. All of them seemed like paths with a dead end.
Well, I can climb the wall but I have no idea how the horizon will look like.
So this is my decision: I will be trying out Chinese meds. And pray that it works.
After the consultation at the eastern clinic today, I found out that my hips are slightly misaligned, which is either caused by a great fall or always sitting cross-legged. It must be the latter because I didn't remember falling or anything of that sort. My liver is weak, so I am advised not to take so many cold drinks and to sleep early (;_;).
The doc's Chinese was so deep that I blankly stared at him sometimes, but still it was quite OK. I understood some and he is able to speak English. Cupping is done along with my meds treatment to ensure it works hand in hand and with more efficiency. The purpose of cupping is to make better the blood circulation which promotes better healing. I was initially very afraid of the thought of cupping because Mom said it was painful.
Turns out it was OK. And I got my hips back into place too after some twisting and cracking which wasn't painful.
I was able to continue my Carbimazole which is a relief.
So now I have to bravely cancel the RAI appointment scheduled for November... T^T Why am I going through this kind of things... *sigh* Please no further illness pop up please (I know the incorrect use of grammar, sorry not sorry). Please please PLEASE. It feels so horrible to be sick.
I recalled - when I registered for RAI this Monday, the nurse thought I was 15...
Now my Mom wants me to sleep early to prevent additional health problems. Ahhh. Ha ha. OK, I am not an ungrateful child so I better make this worth it.
p.s. Oh shiat, I forgot to edit pictures for tomorrow's Photography class.
