The suffering of Shingles
A few months ago, severe itchiness sent me to a dermatologist. After getting a shot and some cream to put on my skin, I was OK, but the itchiness returned. This time, with no desire for injecting more chemical into my body, I let it run its course. Soon the itchiness turned into blisters that covered my inner elbows, armpit, chest, neck, and the top of my ears and I had terrifying pain. I stayed in bed all day, constantly scratching. My left arm had to be raised all the time because of the blisters and puss like stuff in the armpit. Also, because of the blisters all around my neck, I could not put my head on a pillow, nor could I turn my head slightly without popping the blisters. So I had to sit in bed praying to God until I was so sleepy that I just fainted on the pillow. The pictures I took looked scary. I realized my condition was serious and I needed to be seen.
Since I did not believe in treating symptoms any more, I remembered Dr. Yang, who saw me years ago. He would be the only Oriental Medicine doctor I could trust with this sudden and scary illness. From past experience, I knew that many people went to Dr. Yang for serious illnesses that other doctors could not treat. When I arrived at Dr. Yang's office, the pain and itchiness had sucked most of my energy out. Dr. Yang took a look at my tongue, felt my pulse and said "Shingles. Combination of needling and herbal medicine works fast." Indeed, right after the acupunctural needles were pulled out, my neck felt less stiff and painful. I slept a lot better at night, but was still battling the itchiness and pain.
Two days after the first treatment, I felt much better and could even cook a simple meal myself. My neighbor, who sent meals to me in the past few days, was surprised that the blisters on my neck were shrinking.
On the third day, I went to Dr. Yang again. He put even bigger needles in my back, legs and arms, but strangely I did not feel any pain. I guess the suffering from severe pain and itchiness had overpowered my fear of needles! The next day, the scabs on my neck and chest started to fall off and no new blisters emerged! When my neighbor saw me, the first thing she said was "May I have your doctor's name? Just in case I need it. "She thought it was very weird that it only took 5 days and two treatments to clear out the blisters.
About 20 days has passed since my first treatment by Dr. Yang, I am still drinking the herbal medicine he prescribed and I had a total of 7 acupuncture treatments so far to rebalance my chi and release the dampness and heat in my system. All the itchiness and pain has gone. As I continued to drink the herbal medicine, I noticed my stool increased in volume and was horribly smelly and sticky, even with an almost vegetarian diet. I think it might be the process of detoxification to shore up my immune systems.
My life is back to normal now. I am very grateful for Dr. Yang and admire his ability to correctly diagnose, quickly and effectively treat an urgent situation like mine.

带状疱疹的痛苦
几个月前,我突然感到其痒无比, 胳膊肘前的皮肤抓烂也不解痒,只好跑去皮肤科医生。 打一针内固醇,擦点药膏,果然万事大吉。 然而,不久又发了。 這次比上次更严重。 腋窝很快烂得吓人。 脖子周围,耳朵后面都是水泡, 又痛又痒。 我想先扛扛看, 也许这疹子出来就好了。 没想到, 突然整个脖子都红肿发硬,不能转弯了, 而且痒得没办法,痛得我直打哆嗦。 我想得马上看医生。 但不能再看西医了。 要治本只能看中医!
看谁呢? 想起以前看过的杨磊医师, 很多人有疑难杂症就去找他。 看来只有他能快速搞定。 杨医师一看说是带状疱疹,要针药并用, 见效快。果然,一个小时以后,针一拔,脖子就灵活多了。两天以后疹子已经变小,萎缩。 五天以后全部脱落,不再痛痒。我的生活又恢复了正常。 知道或得过这个病的朋友都说不可思议,这么快就好了。杨医师让我继续喝中药, 结果我排出很多极臭的大便,小便更是比平时频繁, 还不停地打屁,气色却比以前好多了。
我非常钦佩杨医师的高超医术。从此,更加珍惜每一个没有痛苦的日子。
