Quite some years ago, I changed my diet to the similar one like yours in order to reduce my cholesterol level. Less than a year later, I felt pain on all my finger bones. I asked many people and checked online, but failed to receive any meaningful answers or solutions. After reflecting the changes I made in the past, I decided to risk higher cholesterol by returning back to a balanced diet. After a few months, the pain went away. What is more exciting is I found my relatively higher cholesterol is mostly by gene as a normal diet doesn't actually increase its level on me. I am not saying my experience is universally applicable to everyone as the variables that impact our health are countlessly numbered. Yet, I sincerely wish you'd find your own way for a healthy and happy life. Both my wife and me like your Vlogs so much - their pictures, languages, voices and music... You and your family are the quintessential example of being so determinant, resilient, and positive. Thanks!
Hi Bill! I appreciate your input! I agree that we all just have to find our own path on this. I've seen a "remission" of my arthritis pain when I decrease my oil intake. Weird I know, but it seems to work really well. I was feeling so good before I came to China so I'm hopeful I can get back to that.
That is great! I wish we all keep up good work and health. Wish you and your family happy stay in Shanghai. BTW, China is such a large and beautiful country as the US. So you may want to visit some of the popular attractions, starting from some nearby cities like Suzhou, Wuxi, and Hangzhou.
reading ur article makes me feel im not alone as in dealing with my feelings and emotions which go up and down or even like a crazy roller coaster - Ive been spending time with parents here in a very small city in China as dad is battling cancer. His situation can easily fluctuates which makes me feel anxious and stressed - he has had good days and of course many bad days especially with chemo and meds of all sorts. on top of that, using my foreign Bank cards here isnt easy - alipay app was newly discovered but for some reason it stopped working yesterday which Im still investigating. I have no one to chitchat apart from spending time with parents. i miss oz where i have lived for over 11 years. Im not meant to add a list of things related to unhappiness but I just want to say ur video reminds me of the way of seeing my situation - a new way to reframe it and a new approach to things no matter how bad it may look. by now i have been blessed to drink some franchise type of coffee even tho i need to try harder to discover good independently owned cafes here - im jealous of ur choices of in shanghai:) last but not the least thank u again for sharing ur week and ur wisdom in defining "life", all the best to ur adorable furbaby, ur health and everything!
ps: btw i have been coughing for a very long time due to tickle in my throat (bad bad coughs), i have asthma on top of that too. no doctor in oz and nothing here in china has helped. well, i will not give up enjoying life in other ways xx
Hi Ben, I think what you are doing is amazing and you should give yourself a lot of credit for leaving oz and helping your father. He is lucky to have you! I know it can be so hard in the moment, but I promise things will get better. I'm sending lots of love your way! Stay positive!
Oh that sounds like a lot to go through but also if your stress about it is making it worse too, that is not good either. I know one person who had ringworm and I was unaware of how it feels for someone. Thanks for explaining. How is the rest of the family and kitten coping with it?
Stress totally made it worse. =( They all took it in stride. I'm the one that had the hardest time, but mostly because I'm the one that deals with all the cleaning etc. lol

I had ringworm a couple years ago. It's not comfortable. But shouldn't be too worried neither. Things will get better
get well soon!
fingers crossed for the little kitten (I'd go nuts in your situation)

You can go to Guang Hua Hospital (光华医院) near Xinhua Road to check if any RA or arthritis etc. This hospital is professional for this.
猫接回来的第一时间就要去宠物医院给它做全身的体检，然后注射所有疫苗，不知道你是否有这样做？如果你有任何的不舒服，不要去私人医院，去正规的三甲医院看病，这和美国以及欧洲有很大的不同，这里最好的医院一定是公立的，那里的医生比较专业，还有猫藓也不可怕，每天按时给它的皮肤涂药就可以了，人得了猫藓也一样，按时用药可以康复！
