擺脫腸躁症的希望與緩解
去年11月中旬，我突然發現自己的排便習慣有了顯著變化。原本每天一次的規律排便增加到每天三次，並且持續了一整週。不久之後，我開始頻繁感到便意，但大多數時候幾乎沒有排便。
我擔心自己身體出了大問題，立即就醫，並接受了包括大腸鏡和胃鏡在內的多項檢查。儘管做了多次檢查和會診，但始終沒有發現任何異常。
隨著時間的推移，我的症狀逐漸加重。我出現了持續的腹脹、腹痛、脹氣以及持續的排便不盡感。儘管我嘗試過各種藥物，也諮詢過許多西醫和中醫，但病情改善甚微且短暫。
日常生活逐漸變得難以忍受。我發現自己無法安心出門，甚至連長時間坐著都變得困難。持續的腹脹、疼痛以及反覆出現的便意（儘管並非便意）佔據了我整天的生活，嚴重影響了我的生活品質。
這些生理症狀最終導致了失眠、焦慮和憂鬱。我感覺自己陷入了一個似乎無法逃脫的惡性循環。
八月份，我在網路上搜尋治療方案時，偶然看到一篇病患分享了溫醫師診所的針灸治療腸躁症（IBS）的經驗。雖然起初我持懷疑態度，但我還是決定再試一次。
第一次諮詢時，溫醫師認真傾聽了我的病史，並向我保證他理解腸躁症帶來的痛苦。他鼓勵我保持希望，並解釋病情是可以好轉的。
令我驚訝的是，第一次治療後，當晚我發現腹脹和腹痛明顯減輕。雖然第二天有些症狀復發，但嚴重程度明顯降低。
隨著治療的持續，我的病情每週都在穩定地好轉。腹脹減輕，腹痛消退，頻繁的便意不再那麼令人困擾。
完成兩個療程後，我的症狀有了顯著改善。便意感只有之前的幾分之一，腹痛和腹脹幾乎完全消失。我的食慾恢復了，睡眠也改善了，終於能夠重新過正常的生活。
回想過去，我曾一度感到徹底絕望，認為自己永遠無法康復。而今天，我無比感激自己重拾了希望和對未來的信心。
我想對所有患有腸躁症（IBS）的人說：請不要放棄希望。康復是可能的。
我衷心感謝溫醫師及其醫療團隊在我整個復原過程中給予的悉心照顧、鼓勵和支持。

In the middle of November last year, I suddenly noticed a significant change in my bowel habits. What had once been a regular once-daily bowel movement increased to three times per day and persisted for an entire week. Shortly afterwards, I began experiencing a constant urge to use the bathroom, even though most of these urges resulted in little or no bowel movement at all.
Concerned that something was seriously wrong, I sought medical attention immediately and underwent extensive investigations, including colonoscopy and gastroscopy examinations. Despite multiple tests and consultations, no abnormalities could be found.
As time went on, my symptoms worsened. I developed persistent abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, excessive gas, and an ongoing sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation. Although I tried various medications and consulted numerous Western and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, the improvements were minimal and temporary.
Daily life gradually became unbearable. I found myself unable to leave home comfortably and even sitting for prolonged periods became difficult. The constant bloating, pain, and repeated false urges to use the bathroom dominated my entire day and severely affected my quality of life.
The physical symptoms eventually led to insomnia, anxiety, and depression. I felt trapped in a cycle that seemed impossible to escape.
In August, while searching online for treatment options, I came across a patient testimonial describing acupuncture treatment for IBS at Dr. Wen’s clinic. Although I was skeptical at first, I decided to give it one final attempt.
During my first consultation, Dr. Wen listened carefully to my history and reassured me that he understood the suffering caused by IBS. He encouraged me to remain hopeful and explained that improvement was possible.
To my surprise, after the first treatment session, I noticed a significant reduction in abdominal bloating and pain that same evening. Although some symptoms returned the following day, the severity had clearly decreased.
As treatment continued, I experienced gradual and steady improvement week after week. The bloating became less severe, the abdominal pain subsided, and the frequent urge to use the bathroom became much less disruptive.
After completing two treatment courses, my symptoms had improved dramatically. The urgency to defecate was only a small fraction of what it had once been, and the abdominal pain and bloating had almost completely disappeared. My appetite returned, my sleep improved, and I was finally able to regain some sense of normality in my daily life.
Looking back, there was a time when I felt completely hopeless and believed that I would never recover. Today, I am grateful to have regained hope and confidence in the future.
To anyone suffering from IBS, I would like to say this: please do not give up hope. Improvement is possible.
I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Wen and his medical team for their care, encouragement, and support throughout my recovery journey.
