General | 笔者: Twinsmom
Today is the second day I suffer headache (or migraine), I feel better if I not moving, either lay down or sit down, just remain the same possition, don’t move, then my head will feel better.
Hainanese, kepala again very strong, now is the season blow left right center *sigh*…
Anyway, a lot of funny things happen when I not feeling well.
>> Because I don’ want to move around, I have the big water bottle, tea tree oil around me, incase the girls wants their bottle refill, or want the oil ease their mozz bite. But at the same time I also have tons of toy around me — they bring all the toys play around me, keep me company I guess.
>> The most caring words they say recently are
“Mommy, you not feeling well ah? ask daddy carry (wander how daddy can carry mommy, Twinsdad just two kgs heavier than me) you see doctor ah? OK? feel better?”
“Mommy, not feeling well ah? let me see, where pain pain. oh… here ah? OK, ask daddy bring you see doctor.”
“Mommy, nah, I give you this ball (or aeroplane, building block, masak-masak etc.), feel better? feel good?”
They end all those comforting words with a big concern eye.
>> “Mommy, I hungry.”
“Hungry? make sandwich for you.”
“No, I want pasta.”
“Mommy not feeling well, sandwich OK?”
“OK, mommy not feeling well, I make pasta for mommy ok? mommy make sandwich for mei mei/jie jie.”
>> “sshhh… not so loud, mommy not feeling well.”
>> “Mommy, why you not feeling well? because your tummy so big ah?” while lay down on my tummy for comfort.
Of casue there are dreadful moment too, when they are fighting for toys, argue about things, tarik harga want this and that, ask endless same question etc. but those becasue of headache I can’t remember the detail very well, so skip.
A little bit about my headache, it happen ten years ago, when I was working in bead shop. it start with normal headache, from the forehead then expend to the back, later down to back of my left ear, and travel to my neck. whenever I move, the pain move too, I sneeze; it sneeze, I yawn; it yawn, I talk; it talk, if I shout; it shout louder than me.
Seen countless of doctors then, but since beside headache nothing else happen, so I was given panadol, that’s all, untill I listen to my mom advice visit a Chinese doctor, got some herbs and cured, so I am going to see the same Chinese doctor again tonight.
I some more planned to bring the girls to Kidzsport this morning *sigh*…
I have to get well soon, becasue tomorrow is weekend, and also the last two days for ginrummy.

Poor twinsmom..! get well soon eh..!
And win more money.. and donch forget to wear red red eh..?
Your girl can relate “big tummy” to not feeling well huh! So creative!
They are the best pain killer huh!
Me too suffered from migraine since teenager time for many years but it was suddenly cure when I started to exercise and lose weight few years back. I was migraine free for few years till I got my girl and stop exercising. It hit me again.
Anyway, don’t take too many panadol or pain killer, not good for the kidney.
kesian
aiyoh…ginramy some more…u jiat lat
listen to Jefferene anot, excercise and **lose weight**! keke.. (me pandai cakap orang but sendiri tak jadi ikut pulak :P)

Your gals chat so much you not get more headache mer??haha.
>> mamabok, you so funny, hahaha… I almost forget about the “all red” rule.
>> Jefferene, my big tummy can associate with a lot of stuff, as long they get their hand on it, they can connect it with everything.
*sigh*, I took three times a day of the panadol, kidney not mulfunction but my stomach sick already, bloated and wind :(.
Thanks for your reminder.

Oh, ur situation remind me bout my mum. She is a hainanese also. When I was stil a kid, whenever I saw her lying down on bed and apply the “minyak angin” on her head, me and my Sis wil squat near her and taking care of her, whole day long, not dare to being notti anymore. Tt was our most fearful moment when Mum fell sick.

>> Leecs, *scratch head* how come tang yuan instead of jiao-zi? or chun-bing 春饼?
>> King’s Wife, got to play on the last two day, now go on gin rummy cold turkey.
>> Zara’s Mum, ya wor, really the Chinese Doctor can cure this kind of headache, I ate so many time panadol until my stomach pain.
>> Egghead, ai yoh… SAHM stress what? no leh, that kind of pain was like follow our heart beat type, right behide the back of my ear and neck,
horrible, please don’t happen again.
>> Milly, should have call you to jaga my girls hahaha… thanks a lot, I OK liao lor.
aiyoo..poor Twinsmom. Hope your headche gets better. I have been hearing you said this since early days of CNY.
I heard from a friend that drinking soup of green apple (stem remove) double bioled with “kei ji”, “red rates”, “pao sham”.
3 times a week take alternately.
Double boiled for 2 hours.
can cure or relief the pain. You might want to try.Get well soon!
Oh ya, that recipe is given by a famous Chinese Dr.
>> Allyfeel, Thanks a lot, will try it out if the headache come again (keep fingers cross :D). beside greenapple, is there any alternative?
Non that I know of ler. Why? You don’t fancy green apple arr?
Ever tried massaging your toes? I recommended to a few people, and they say it work wor. Massage the rounded, slightly protruding area underneath your toes (where you find the toe print). It’s believe massaging this area will improve the blood circulation wor.
This is the most handy recipe that works for me. Not cheap compare to panadol.
Boiled yourself 10 grams of Premium SuiXin tea, either 陈年,甲级 or 老枞. Boiled a whole tea pot(don’t do “1st washing”), Served hot. If the teapot is small, you can pour more hot water to served 2nd,3rd or 4th round.
I suggest you get the cheapest packed SuiXin from purple cane(not cheap compare to those prepacking brand like Tien-Ren). Avoid al-cheapo packing from the supermarket shelf, it will make your headache worst.
>> Allyfeel, hehehe… I actually don’t fancy any fruit in soup, but will try it out if there are any apples in my fridge. Thanks.
>> Papi, Never know massaging toes will help, but my dad did told me to massage the point between my thumb and index finger, and guess what, that point actually very painful when massaging it, so pain I forgot to think about my headache!
>> Moo_t, oh… thanks for this info, will try it out. all this while I am drinking pu-er 普洱, I think it is time for change :).
I even suspect it was because of lack of caffein make me headache :D.
