I looked up many posts on the Internet, but few of them were cured, and many of them were incurable diseases. Some people even say that this disease will last a lifetime, and the more I watch it, the more depressed I am. I went to see a Chinese doctor, and the doctor said it was wind-cold and blood deficiency, so I took the medicine home. After taking the medicine, the condition has not improved. I also did moxibustion during the period. Soak your feet with wormwood water at night and stick a plaster. Because it's dog days, you have to sweat a lot every time you soak your feet in moxibustion. Sticking plaster is also hot. I can't sleep at night, and I am very upset when I think about this problem every day.
Later, I saw an article written by a doctor about postpartum fever, which made me calm down and look at this problem objectively. I feel very anxious to go to the hospital. So I began to adjust my mentality and sort out why I got this disease. First of all, it must be caused by bad living habits and eating habits. If these bad habits are corrected, it is certain that the condition will gradually improve. Of course, medication is also one aspect.
1. Believe that this disease can be cured, have a positive attitude and believe in the power of faith.
2. Avoid foods that are too cold, such as watermelon and bitter gourd. I often eat before I get sick.
3. You can always drink those stews that tonify qi and blood in the month. I drink more Wu Hong soup and black-bone chicken soup, because breast-feeding consumes a lot of qi and blood in our body, and with the increase of children's appetite in the later period, our milk production will also increase, so we should eat it often during lactation, so don't worry about getting fat. I didn't pay attention to my diet before I was born, so I ate casually. I think this is one of the reasons why I am sick. )
3. I stopped foot bath and moxibustion (because it is hot in dog days, these two accelerate the passage of sweat and make my body more weak). Later, in autumn, when the temperature was right, I began to soak my feet again. I don't think it's too much trouble to do moxibustion, and I don't stick a plaster.
4. Don't touch cold water. My mother does housework. My mother told me not to touch cold water and water less for half a year. (I used to be afraid that my mother would work hard, so sometimes my child would wash it with cold water after the second month. If you can't take care of the children by yourself, you must remember to bring gloves.
As for exercise, it started a few days before onset (more than 60 days after delivery). It may be that sweating too much leads to physical weakness and sudden onset of diet. Later, in dog days, I stopped exercising. The more people sweat, the weaker they become. Therefore, according to your physical condition, don't exercise too early and don't exercise too much. After the fall (the fourth month after delivery), you will start exercising again. When the weather is cold, you won't sweat much. Qi and blood (food and medicine) must reach the whole body well, and regular exercise is the best way to mobilize qi and blood.
6. Chinese medicine is also very important. If it doesn't work all the time, you can try another doctor.
7, pay attention to keep warm, I wear long pajamas in dog days, and I usually wear socks, not to mention after autumn. Half a year after delivery is a recovery period, so it's always right to pay attention.
get better
Later, a doctor changed, and the doctor also prescribed Chinese medicine. This time it's powdered Chinese medicine, which saves me the effort to boil medicine and is quite convenient. After eating for a week, my hands gradually stopped being afraid of the wind, and then I ran out of medicine. I stopped for a week or so, and my illness began to recur.
So I went to this doctor to prescribe medicine. It's the fourth month after delivery, and autumn is not so hot. I began to exercise regularly, and in the morning and evening 15 minutes, I could sweat a little when my blood rose.
Slowly, I took off my wool socks at night, and the feeling of wind blowing on my feet became weaker and weaker. Sometimes my feet would sweat and be very hot. I'm so happy because I didn't sweat in the dog days. Now I don't have to sleep without gloves, and I don't sweat as much as before.
It is still slowly recovering, and I believe it will get better and better.
Tips:
1, sometimes my feet hurt so much that I can't sleep. Besides soaking feet, there is another good way. I will warm my feet and sleep with the belt I bought before, which will be much better. I've been using this belt. I will open it before going to bed or feeding, and put my feet in it, which is very warm and comfortable. This is a good way to relieve the pain.
As for exercise, I like dancing. I don't know if you have heard of Zen dance. I follow the music and have no fixed dance posture. Anyway, it is good for everyone to choose a sport that you like and can stick to. There are many exercises that can help postpartum recovery. Be careful not to exercise too hard, and your whole body will sweat slightly.
This is a picture of dancing before.
As for diet, my mother has recently returned to her hometown, and my grandmother is ill and needs to be taken care of. I take care of the baby alone, and my husband cooks in the morning and evening. I bought some stew at noon, and cooked the stew and rice in a pot in advance with a pressure cooker, which is convenient for one person. When the baby falls asleep, you can also copy another dish and eat it as soon as it is hot at noon. Washing dishes is, of course, waiting for my husband to come back to wash.
I used to buy ready-made stew ingredients, but now I make them myself. It is convenient to divide bags, and measure one person and one small bag at a time. Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, and Fructus Jujubae are all good herbs for invigorating qi and blood. Various mushrooms and dried tangerine peel were used to make the soup taste better. After all, only delicious food can persist.
Let me show you my lunch today, stewed chicken, wuhong soup, oatmeal, zucchini and scrambled eggs. Anyway, it's quite rich!
4. Sometimes my baby can't sleep well at night, and I will sleep with my baby for one or two nights during the day. Pay attention to rest and don't make yourself too tired.
Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery!
