just recovered from a bad scare/illness.

ok..what happened was...i woke up on saturday with a head-splitting headache..(not sure if i got the description right).Anyway knowing how important rest was to a soon-to-be ill person, i drank alot of water and proceeded to sleep for 14 hours that day.

The next day,the headache subsided abit, so i went to play abit of basketball...it wasn't very vigorous..just the usual amount..then the crazy sunday heat settled in..and i felt so queasy..went home, bathed and proceeded to sleep for 16 hours.lol.anyway in the middle i went to consult the neighbourhood 16hour clinic which operates from 6am-10pm.The doc prescribed me some pills (pain killers) which totally didn't help me at all.The funny thing was, i wasn't running a temperature..yet the headache was still there

Monday i felt the same, but still i dragged myself to work..after 2 hours, i couldnt take it already..took cab home and proceeded to sleep (Yet again). called the doctor from last night as he adviced should the medicine not work...his diagnosis? "Take double dosage of the medicine and call me after 1 hour". His instructions which i followed diligently..needless to say,my situation didnt improve...so i called again..and he told me "i'll have to recommend u to a specialist, do u prefer a private or government hospital?" I was like "wth! 庸医!!"

but being too groggy and tired to scold him, i told him i'll rest for another day and not book an appointment with a specialist.

Come night, my dad took me to my usual TCM uncle..who looked at me for a few minutes and concluded that i was suffering from some headache prelude to a flu/fever. And he proceeded to paste some grains onto my "vital points" Miraculously i felt alot better after his treatment..as in..my headache subsided..ok..either that, or the western doctor's pills took like 12 hours to take effect.(which i believe, is highly impossible) So after drinking 4 bowls bitter concoction which supposedly reduces heatiness..

im well again!!!
