Exciting news!

For all the ladies out there who recently responded to my previous posts and who, like me, struggle with gastrointestinal issues, I have some life-changing information to share with you.

I recently started visiting a Chinese Medicine Man in Cabramatta for my chronic constipation and neck and shoulder pain. And guess what? After just three weeks, I’m already feeling a huge difference!

During each visit to the clinic, I received acupuncture treatments to my abdomen, Chinese tea and some special brown pills. The Medicine Man also applied medicated heat patches on my shoulder and lower back, which felt amazing (a little gooey, but the smell of peppermint and ginger compensated for that).

I admit, I was sceptical at first, but now I’m a believer.

Last week, I experienced a lot of movement, and yesterday was the first Saturday in six weeks that I didn’t have to deal with pain and discomfort. It’s such a relief!

The Medicine Man assured me that my bowels will continue to improve, and he’s even working on getting rid of my shoulder pain. I’ve spent so much time and money on different treatments, but this seems to be the answer I’ve been searching for.

Although there’s a language barrier between us (he’s Cantonese and I’m not), the Medicine Man understands my concerns through my facial expressions and the words I repeat, like “constipation” and “pain.” While he may not be able to explain the root cause of my issues, I’m okay with that for now. I’ll be seeing a Gastroenterologist to dive deeper into the problem later.

But for the first time in a long time, I finally have some balance and freedom from the stress and discomfort that consumed me, and I was even able to venture out far from home yesterday because of how good I felt and the ‘freedom’ I was finally experiencing after so many weeks.

I’m looking forward to taking control of my life and enjoying some pain-free, stress-free fun!
