The history of blood and tears in the treatment of facial paralysis by acupuncture —— Did acupuncture suffer from over-medical treatment, which hurt the face or the heart?

In the past, I only saw the word "facial paralysis" on the screen and entertainment headlines, saying that this person is "facial paralysis", or that XX star failed in plastic surgery and looks like "facial paralysis". I thought it was just a joke before, but I never thought that one day I would be associated with the word "facial paralysis".

One day in early May, I suddenly felt dizzy and headache when taking a bath in the morning. I thought the water was too hot and rushed out. After a short rest, I not only showed no signs of improvement, but became more and more uncomfortable, and my muscles ached, much like the symptoms before a fever. I didn't take it too seriously at that time. I thought it was a cold and didn't take it to heart.

The next day, instead of getting better, the situation became more and more serious. The face is swollen like a steamed bun, and the mouth is swollen to 1.5 times. What is even more depressing is that the cold medicine is in a hurry, because the epidemic pharmacy doesn't sell any cold medicine, and because it really doesn't want to go to the hospital, it has to be carried for another day.

On the third day, I couldn't sleep. I got up, my vision blurred. I dare not delay any longer. I quickly took a taxi to the hospital. At first glance, the doctor calmly said "facial paralysis". It's not surprising that doctors have seen various symptoms. But for me, that moment is a state of complete ignorance. No matter whether it looks good or not, the face is a facade after all, so we should pay attention to the image.

At that time, I always wondered what to do if my face couldn't heal, and if I left sequelae, would I regret my misjudgment and delayed the treatment ... My brain was blank, so I didn't hear a word the doctor said. Suddenly I heard the doctor say that as long as there is no tumor in my brain, I can recover. If there is a tumor in my brain, it will be very troublesome ... Then I unconsciously thought, what will my son do if there is a tumor? Where's my mother ... so much so that I didn't react when the doctor said I would have an MRI. When I reacted, I wanted to say don't use it yet. The doctor finished the list quickly. I scanned the code and swiped the card, and deducted more than 1000 yuan.

When I saw the deduction, I doubted for a moment whether this magnetic vibration was really necessary. The doctor will have a judgment on this and comfort himself later. Anyway, if I have social security, I should spend money to buy peace of mind. So I brought a lot of medicine home. In the following days, I will eat more than 30 tablets a day because I care too much about my face. My idea at that time was to follow the doctor's advice, as long as I got better, it didn't matter if I spent some money, and I didn't notice that my medicine cost was basically one month.

On the third day after taking the hormone, I came to the hospital again, because acupuncture is the most effective way to treat facial paralysis. According to the situation, the doctor opened a course of treatment without hesitation, 10 times. The deduction this time is more than 1200. I have been here twice, and the medical insurance I have saved for five years has basically contributed to this hospital. I accidentally mentioned to the acupuncture doctor that she was going to have an MRI. She calmly told me, "It's normal to do it, and it's obviously caused by a cold." Well, it turned out that every doctor knew that it was caused by a cold, but he still gave me a magnetic vibration. Of course, this is also the case. The magnetic vibration of more than 500 yuan is just to see the words "no obvious abnormality is found", and even the film is not used.

People like me who are scared to cry by infusion and vaccination, every time acupuncture is like robbery. Before giving birth, I felt dizzy at the sight of needles. After experiencing the pain of opening my fingers naturally, I want to open other pains. But the needle is stuck in my face, and I need to keep my eyes closed. I feel very clear every time the 13 needle on my face beats. When people can't see, other senses will be clear, such as the perception of pain and sound. Any little gesture will make my nervous forehead sweat. ......

After the first acupuncture, I lay in bed for 10 minutes before coming down smoothly, and my legs were soft. I asked the doctor if he wanted to come every day, and the doctor replied, "I wanted to come every day three days ago, but I didn't need it later." If it hurts every day. " At that time, I felt that I really met a conscience doctor. No matter how painful, no matter how scared, I will come.

I dare not think about how many times I have left every day and what will happen next. I force myself to forget everything else, go there when I arrive, and then play some favorite content on my mobile phone to distract me. I finally got through the first three days under my own self-hypnosis. On Friday, the doctor had a rest, and finally I could have a day off. Continue to be punished on Saturday, and the hospital will not work on Sunday. I feel that it is cheaper. After all, I persisted four times, which was a small victory.

Monday of the second week arrived on time, and this time it was more painful than the previous ones. After the instrument started, the biting pain spread to my face from all directions, and my teeth kept chattering with the adjustment of the needle ... At that time, I really wanted to tell the doctor that I couldn't stand it, but the thought of seeing someone again kept me going.

30 minutes is neither too long nor too short. When that kind of pain swept through the whole body, every second was tormented. Even if there is music to distract you, the real pain does exist no matter how distracting it is. Thirty minutes have passed, just like in the middle of the year, the "Didi Didi" sound made by musical instruments is better than any kind of music. After this acupuncture, I asked the doctor if it was necessary to come the next day, and the doctor asked me to come again the next day. This news undoubtedly poured cold water on me, and I was full of expectations that I would be able to stay every other day or two.

Although a little lost, I am relieved to think that my face will not leave sequelae and my face is much better than the previous days. Every time before I go, I always think of Sister Rong. I unconsciously imagine myself as Xia Ziwei who is suffering. The next day, after all kinds of struggles and pains, the doctor said that he had to continue on the third day. On the fourth day, the fifth day, until the end of the working day this week, there was no news that could wait until the next day. I've been stuck in the same place for five days in a row. To tell the truth, I admire myself in retrospect, but I'm afraid I really don't have the courage to go through it again.

We have to rest on weekends, so we can take two days off on weekends. After facial paralysis, I didn't dare to catch the wind, so except going to the hospital, I was basically in the state of Zhai's family. After two weeks and nine times of acupuncture, I feel much better. I'm going to take a vacation for myself and go out to play. Sitting in the rocking chair of a friend's homestay and watching the blue sky and white clouds, the slow-paced life actually calmed myself down. I'm used to looking in the mirror every day to see if my face is symmetrical, and I'm also used to practicing bulging my mouth every day to see if my left facial muscles are listening to instructions ... Anyway, it's visible to the naked eye, and I can even say that I can't see anything unusual with the naked eye.

Originally, I thought that since I had to go to acupuncture every day, I wouldn't stop, but after two days' rest, I found myself recovering little by little, and there was no continuous acupuncture, so I sometimes wondered if it was necessary to have acupuncture every day. Because I was too concerned before, I only had one idea, that is, as long as I can get better, I will do whatever the doctor says. Money is not the problem, but face is the problem. As I gradually recovered, my reason and judgment began to recover. I asked my mother and my friends around me. Someone in my family had this symptom before. How do they treat it? Acupuncture has been done several times. The reply is usually one or three times, but it takes time to recover.

At this time, self-hypnosis is still very important. I told myself that I took so many drugs to recover more thoroughly. I am acupuncture 10 to avoid sequelae three times. Anyway, what the doctor said must be reasonable.

On Monday of the third week, I didn't go because I was too busy at work. I didn't go until Tuesday. The doctor didn't feel strange after three days. At that time, I knew every few days that there was no problem. This is the first time 10, and it is also the last time of a course of treatment. Finally, I saw the dawn of victory. So for the last time, although it still hurts, time feels faster than before, because victory is in sight.

It's just that I haven't been proud for a long time Judging from my current situation, I think acupuncture may still be needed, but only 3-5 times. I asked the doctor with anticipation how many times I needed to come. The doctor told me to call me 10 again, but I still have to come every day. Hearing the news, I felt very guilty. I wanted to drive 3-5 times first, so that I could stick to it. God knows how I persisted this 10 time.

Finally, I didn't open it because I didn't register that day. The doctor asked me to open it first 10 times. I really don't have the courage, so I said come together next time. When I left, the doctor specially reminded me to remember to come. Although I said yes, I really have 10 thousand rejections in my heart.

I am not a doctor, but I will have a basic judgment on my recovery. Because at that time, I felt that I had basically recovered, and I might need to consolidate it several times, or I might just wait for it to recover on its own. I can really stick to acupuncture, but I really can't stick to it 10 times. First, I don't need that much, because I feel almost better. Second, the balance in my medical insurance card is urgent. I don't want to spend so much money on my own. Third, I am afraid of taking a taxi every time I go to the hospital, which will increase the cost. I don't feel this way without spending my own money. When I want to spend my own money, not only my face hurts, but also my flesh hurts ~ ~ ~

In the end, I didn't go to the hospital again, but I didn't give up treatment. I went to the Chinese medicine clinic near the community, because I think acupuncture should be almost the same as long as it is qualified. The most important thing is proximity, which saves time, worry and effort. I went to see a doctor and got an experience card for me, 5 times 199. I feel that I have made a lot of money, haha.

Because the doctor said that you don't need to go every day, you can go 2-3 times a week, so up to now, I have gone twice out of 5 times. But I feel that I have completely recovered. I'm going to let the doctor see me next time. If I fully recover, I will replace the remaining three times with massage. If necessary, it is no problem to insist on coming three times.

Looking back on this month, I feel confused most of the time, because I care, so what the doctor says is what it is. I know some people will say that my doctor wants patients to be well and is afraid of taking responsibility, so he will suggest various tests. But I want to say, if I don't have social security, maybe he won't open an MRI, and he will open one that doesn't even have a negative. Just like acupuncture, is it really necessary to do 10 times? I admit that acupuncture has no side effects, even if you do it 100 times. However, if it is unnecessary to do so much, and it is impossible to do more consolidation because there are no side effects, it will cost more 1000 yuan.

Everyone said that overtreatment was a bit serious, but it really made me feel bad for a while. As far as I am concerned, I want to recover as soon as possible, and I don't need to spend more money as far as I can save. But from the doctor's point of view, we are here anyway, and we have to do everything well. What's wrong with doing it again After all, it can still increase the income for the hospital.

Anyway, this month is over. The pain on my face is real, and so is my distress. Fortunately, with the support of medical insurance, there are not many people at their own expense. I can laugh normally, make noise normally, and it's all worth it.

After suffering both physical and mental pain, I feel relieved that nothing is more important than health. I don't want to be rich or expensive for the rest of my life, but I want to live a healthy and safe life.
