When I was in Taiwan, I received both modern and Chinese ancient medical treatments when I was sick. Taiwanese medical insurance recognizes the values of both treatment. Things are different in the United States. The medical insurance in the US covers modern medical treatments and chiropractor service. For acupuncture which I believe its treatment effectiveness, the US medical insurance does not cover the cost for its service.
Seven months into the modern medical diagnosis and treatment and only get the control of its illness prognosis, I decide to take a proactive approach for treating my chronicle illness: add acupuncture and chiropractor for treatment. I had both treatments this week, and I do feel somewhat better after the treatment. However, even the doctors believe that the effectiveness of the treatments and to wait for at least 1-2 weeks; I will report the progress of my conditions in a few weeks.
I had my latest blood test results down few days ago. The blood sodium level has improved from 124 to 131 to 134 (the latest results) against [135-155]. Both ALT and AST (liver enzyme)have dropped to the normal range. But direct bilirubin value is still stubbornly hanging high at 0.40 against [0.00-0.3]. My doctor told me not to worry about it. I will have another blood test down in 2 months, that will be in March. I will report the results then.
I did feel somewhat better these days. I had more energy swimming which is a real gauge of my medical condition.
Friends, thank you for your prayer and concerns. I will report to you my conditions one way or another.
