It's me, Jane from HK again. My urination problem get worse these several months. Just found slight bacteria in urine but my doctor said this slight amount cannot cause infection. My blood test is very good.
My symptoms include pain at abdominal and bladder area, etc., frequent and painful urination, make up to urinate for one for more time
Any other test I should take? How can I know if it's caused by FM or others?
Also, do you have suggestion in my diet?
Lucky that by fibro generalized pain is stablized now after practising Chi Kung these several months, I feel like miracle but the urination problem doesn't get better.
Sorry that I haven't write here for months because I've been very busy until today that I don't feel well and really sit down and write .... ;(
Blessing to you all!!!!! Today is the first day in Chinese New Year here but I don't go out because of my urination & abdominal pain problem.
thanks,
Jane

Anyone of you practice Feldenkrais, what's your exprience?
There're only 3 people who teach Feldenkrais and there're only 4 to 5 courses, 4-5 lessons/ course, for every year.

yup the groceries tax is very high, once I got to the supermarket and did a supper for my relatives, I was chilled about the prices. HK would be 50-70% less.
it's fair. HK might be the lowest tax-rate-country in the world.
The wealth and poverty seems to be much extreme than I saw (but I stayed in NY for 12 days only).
May God bless you, too.
Wish that I would have chance to meet you in future. I still miss NY.
love,

I don't wish to give discouraging reply here. I really feel very thankful to you, Bette. however, what you say is a joke, not even a dream and it's something unrealistic in HK.
My graduate paper was on pain/ rheumatoid arthritis research, I did a post-graduate studies, a Professional Diploma on Health Education and worked for chronic disease suuport (Cardiac and Dementia) before. However for FM, these are jokes in HK. Even I can't expect friends and relatives would understand me, I just hide up and avoid meeting them. Even the hospital asked for stopping blood test on me, the Hospital Authority/ Government in HK tries to minimize welfare on lots of acpects. This happen after HK back to the rule under China.
Bette, where do you live? I really miss NY. I went to NY in 2010. My grandaunt and cousins were there but leter old grandaunt passed away peacefully and everyone left NY.
wish you all well!

BTW, it's seems I have some improvements when practicing Chi Kung and Feldenkrais. I wish the improvements go on. I still wish that I can go back to work. We have no say for allowance/ subsidies (we may have some chance if we are lame). We have to have empower on our own-selves.
best regards,
Jane

I got FM 14 years ago, i.e. since I was 19. There's no medical insurance subsidied from the government in Hong Kong, here. One may have to wait for 9 years for a check of cancer in public hospital in HK.
Therefore I've really spent lots of money on FM. Some friends criticize me spending lots of money and don't go for work. I do want to do what they comment on me. I tried my very very very very best to ........ I feel it's difficult to accept myself not going to work and be hard-working in being promoted as I'm living in a society that people's own value depends on prosperity. I'm not a responsible person as a bachelor degree holder in the eyes of HK people, not making living, etc. Luckily my family is still supporting me.
When I was at the age of you, my mum was suffering from leukemia and it was the year that SARS were spread in HK and all over the world. When I was also suffering from FM syndrome like pain, aches, fatiques, short memory loss, dizziness, etc. still at the age, I couldn't imagine how I completed my bachelor degree when I was 23!
I can manage FM for some years in between through Chinese Medicine, CST, etc. I got very bad in FM last year and seldom be able to go to work although my friends persuading me to put much effort in job seeking. Although tried many many many methods alst year, until I met a Chi Kung teacher last summer, I can manage around 60-70% of my pain and fatique. I went full-time work for 3 months then. However now I'm suffering from frequent urination problem and difficult to go out for a while /_\.......
I should praise myself and support you for I have done my very best , too but it's quite difficult for me to parise myself among the eyes of HK society as I'm not going to work for my own living, hard-working on buying house, etc. I worked in patient support groups and have been working in the rehabilitation field, I supported patients of other chronic disease to praise themselves and suppor teach other but I found it's difficult for me. There's too limited resources for FM. In return, I'm still feeling lost in helping myself.
I wish that you are doing better than me in getting supported and praise yourself what you have done for each little thing and everyday. I wish that your support and resources are better in your country than mine.
I feel loss today, too. I've spent days through internet and phone to search for medical resouces again. May the wisdom and love be with you and all of us.

blessing,
Jane from Hong KongView Thread

Thanks for support recently. Lucky that by fibro widespread pain is stablized now after practising Chi Kung these several months, I feel like miracle (but only the urination problem doesn't get better), at least I can do some job and help normal housework, join church activities, etc.
The teacher is a Chinese and stayed in US for many years before but recently he's staying in Taiwan and always come to HK. He's not concentrate on giving courses in US nowadays. Miracle does not happen to all Chi Kung classmates but quite a number of us recover soon for our health problem, he's a quite powerful Chi Kung teachers.
I don't know if anyone of you heard of him, he's Dr. Sir Steven yin (Green Pine Tree Health Seminar). He used to live in CA before.
I don't know if it's good to recommend to you come to HK/ Taiwan to learn but .... if you have such interest, I can try ask him if he is willing to give his contact to you.

Thanks so much for your prompt reply.
And where would I find diet for FM in improving urination? Which website?
Thanks for reminder and sometimes I have too much things to do for my health (so do many of you, I think?) ... and forgot there's still exercises to imrpove urination
Time flies and I thought I wrote here was 3 months ago. Never realized that Dr. P left the group already.
Well, when I do Chi Kung these days, I feel my unsolved fear in the past in my body, that we have to meditate our kidney in one of the steps. In Chinese medicine, kidney is related to fear
