ALLERGIC RHINITS PROBLEM SOLVED! by Daniel WW Cheong

I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis since 1999 where it has affected my quality of life and work. My sinus was so severely congested at the nose and near the eyes, so much so my head would have involuntary movement. I knew now, that the cause was my inner ear infection and pressure build up as during the rhinitis attack period, I also had several bout of otitis media where my doctor has to administer heavy dosage of antibiotics for 3 months consecutive through several course. My friends always laugh at me saying that I eat antibiotic pills like eating candies or I had signed contract with the pharmaceutical companies.

Anyway, was on medication like pruriton, clarinase, clarityne, atarax, zyrtec to alleviate the problem but to no avail as the symptoms still persist. Went to a ENT specialist, and he told me that my nose need to go for correction surgery as from the X-ray, I had a deviated septum with large swollen turbinates at both sides of the nose.

Administer another course of antibiotic from Eli Llly's (pink color type, but i forgot tha name) and beconase- a kind of cortisteriod spray to reduce the swelling of the nose. That was with Dr Kand in Jlln Raja Laut.

Initially, I was hesitating coz never had a surgery in my life and it gives me the creep! A second opinion was obtained from another doctor from Tong Shin Hospital and he concluded that I need to straighten my deviated septum and to do a SMR or sub-mucuos resection to address the problem. No choice and finally relented to the operation.

Operation was successful and for the first time in my life I could breathe better and free from allergies. But after 3 years, the problem came back though not as severe as before but I do experience occasion allergic attack. Have to be put back on Rhinocort and Nasonex subsequently to control but the problem is I have post nasal drip daily without fail since 2002.

Did try to do nasal irrigation wash with a netipot. Helps a little but cannot go away. Not until I took up Wellness Medical Qigong Essentials course, I did not realized that my allergy and post nasal drip has gone. I was talking to Sifu Tan this morning, then only realize that my allergy has disappeared for good. I'm writing this to share with you that WMQ Qigong has indeed help to control not only my hypertension but also my allergy.

Thanks for reading this long posting!
