Spring is the high incidence of facial paralysis – simple peripheral facial nerve paralysis – “the first warm and cold time, the most difficult to rest”, if not careful, cold behind the ears, or the back sweat wind, then If you are not careful and get cold behind your ears or sweat on your back and get wind, you may suffer from this disease. At the beginning of the disease, there is often pain behind the ear, some patients have half of the face numbness or insect crawling feeling, followed by tears, water leakage, crooked mouth and eyes (at first only when laughing). When you go to the doctor’s office, you will usually be given a neurologist, and some doctors in the neurologist’s office are very good, or the doctor may have had the disease himself or a family member or a friend, and he will be cured by acupuncture, so he will directly tell you to go to the acupuncture department. Some will prescribe some drugs, such as the so-called nutritional nerve “adenosylcobalamin” 1.5MG more than seventy a, in fact, is B12, playing ten days, prednisone (hormone) to eat for ten days, and at the same time, tell you to go to acupuncture a week later, or do physical therapy. There will be on your “very responsible”, told you to do CT, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), the first to spend more than 1,000 yuan, “rule out” a brain disease. In fact, this is very ridiculous, a neurologist even “peripheral facial nerve paralysis” and “central facial nerve paralysis” have to distinguish through the instrument, then his level is only the third grade! (As long as he can read, he can read the report.) If you go to the physiotherapy department, it is fine to do physiotherapy and then acupuncture. Sometimes some physiotherapists will scare the patients, saying that they should not do acupuncture early, or else they will increase the risk of spasm. In fact, this disease is common and frequent in China. In Europe and the United States, it is rare. It is true that there is a considerable number of light patients, without any treatment, rest, about 30 days will recover on their own, because the human body is a very strong self-healing ability!!!! In the past, people broke their heads and touched the skin, and did not need to go to the hospital to wrap and sew, not all grow very well? This part of the patient, if you take medicine, injection, of course, will also be good, about 30 days. But not to mention the cost, I don’t know what good or harm these medicines will do to you? If you do acupuncture, this part of the patient will recover within ten to fifteen days! There is also a portion of patients who get the needles, take the pills, and come in after a week and don’t move at all, and the Western doctors will say that this was supposed to be the progressive stage and they won’t recover. After the acupuncture is done, the recovery begins very quickly. It recovers in about 30 days or so. Some other patients, believing the doctor’s words, took the injections, took the medication and waited for it to recover on its own, but it didn’t. After a month, two months, and no, it is only then that they remember the acupuncture, and this is usually going to leave after-effects. The luckiest patients will come to acupuncture in the first place. But also divided into doctors, a neighboring grandfather went to the acupuncture department of the Oriental Hospital, the first prescribed MRI, and prescribed drugs for stroke (cerebrovascular disease), but also prescribed acupuncture, of course, can also be good, but the first two, is it necessary? Of course it’s necessary for the doctor, generating revenue above all else! General doctor will give you back cupping, because this disease is usually cold, so many patients feel hard and tight back or neck, cupping will be very purple, patients feel very relaxed. Then there is lancing, baking TDP or infrared. On the issue of spasm: there will be a part of the patient, treatment, no treatment, Chinese medicine, Western medicine, there will be sequelae, including spasm, but with acupuncture intervention sooner or later is absolutely no relationship, may be too strong with the early stimulation related to such as electro-acupuncture, but now how many acupuncturists are still using electro-acupuncture to treat facial paralysis strong stimulation? This disease looks very serious and scary, in fact, do not worry too much, more than 80% of the patients will recover completely, too much anxiety is not conducive to recovery. But you need to take rest and use your eyes wisely, you can go to work half day and go to acupuncture department for treatment the other half day đŸ™‚ Good luck to all of you.
