    Enjoy Food without Worrying about Allergies

       I still remember that noon time when our office supervisor suddenly asked why my neck was red. I checked and scratched my neck and it felt itchier. I just thought I was bitten by mosquitoes and kept eating my lunch. However, while eating, my arms seemed to be also bitten by mosquitoes and then my fingers also turned edematous. My colleague said I might be allergic and asked me to see a doctor immediately. 

    However, I was still doubtful because I was not prone to allergies and never had such symptoms. Therefore, I didn’t give much thought about it and thought it might be well soon. Unbelievably, my right leg turned red in the evening after I went back home but I still believed it will be well the next day. However, my whole body was allergic after I went to see a doctor and even my butt was too itchy to sit, and the muscle was rigid. 

        Unfortunately, I met irresponsible doctors who boasted: “You will be better after taking two packs of medicine”, and told me not to take medicine after the allergy was gone. However, after I finished all the medicines on the 3rd day, I still felt seriously itchy. 

      In my moment of desperation, my good friend suggested for me to try Doctor Wen’s scalp acupuncture which was effective for the immune system. I then thought western medicine was not effective, so why not try Chinese medicine. Unexpectedly, my right leg went back to its original appearance on the 3rd day. I felt so happy and the itchy situation almost dissipated by 70%-80%. Now, I don’t have to see puffy eyes when I get up, nor worry about allergy while enjoying food. The urticaria which annoyed me for one month is gone. By the way, my stiff shoulder for the overuse of my right hand also recovered after Doctor Wen’s acupuncture. I thank him so much.
