Though my mum has made progress in her recovery, she is still very weak. According to the Chinese physician, she has taken too much western medicine in too short a time which has made her body very weak. Each time she has a bit of discomfort, she'd asked to be taken to the doctor. As a result, she has medication for breathing, constipation, urinary problems, gastritis and God knows what else, besides taking the medication for diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol. And she got all these tablets within a period of a month. All in all she consulted 4 doctors more than 10 times in June. Imagine, the amount of medication she got from them. Today she was feeling very tired and could not move much.
I sent her for Chinese traditional massage therapy with the Uncle near my house. Whenever I have any aches and pain, he is the one I visit instead of the doctor. He too said that the weakness she was suffering from was the result of taking too many types of medication. He advised her not to visit the doctors unnecessarily and only to stick to the monthly medication given by her specialist. He said that if she continued taking more types of medication, she might end up bedridden.
