Xerophthalmia

Witness: Lin Xiumei

Symptoms: Xerophthalmia, pollakiuria, aching feet and limp 

No longer to worry about losing my sight any more

I have been feeling an increase in ailments that come with my age, such as pollakiuria, aching feet and limp and so on. The most puzzling was xerophthalmia which had lasted for about 3 years. I went to hospitals from surrounding ones to bigger ones, and even Tri-service General Hospital and Yangming Hospital. I shuffled from hospitals and took medicine all the time, which brought me a lot of pain and made me frustrated. Last year, I was told that I might be blind if symptoms worsened. I was worried about my aching and limping feet and pollakiuria (I went to the comfort room every 2 hours but urinated very little). 

This March, the son-in-law of my younger sister learned about Doctor Wen and he went to have a try, for he had renal disease. He received acupuncture once and then took me there for a try. 

After the first acupuncture, I felt comfortable about my eyes and told my sister immediately. The next morning, I arrived in the hospital and told the doctor I had pollakiuria and aching feet and limp. The doctor told me it was not a big deal. After several treatments, all symptoms were improved. 

I was cured of both ailments within 2 weeks. It was like dreaming. In addition, my xerophthalmia was improved, which I had never imagined before. I went to see the doctor smilingly and was tearful during the second week. After two courses of treatment, my xerophthalmia was cured and I am no longer worried about losing my sight.

Many thanks go to Doctor Wen. I hope other patients believe Doctor Wen’s skills and do not doubt. It is really amazing.
