Tough Patient case -Treating a possible Fibro

Hi Chad, apologies i should have been clearer.

Well i treated her day 1 with ren 6, k3, st36, gb34, sp6, also st38 on contralateral side with movement of affected shoulder(mainly right side)....also some local ashi needling with moxa. 40min treatment altogether.

i gave her 2 treatments with the above. 1 week apart. She experienced the shoulder feeling a small bit lighter after treatment for approx 3 days, it then slowly returned to normal very painful state. She also suffered hugely from fatigue after the treatments for upto a week. I stopped that treatment after the second session as i felt there was something deeper causing the problems. it was just a hunch i had.

I then went onto treat the extraordinarys as described above. So far she has had 7 treatments, 3 times a week.

Treatment: Open/close Yin mai with master/couple point for 15mins, also open/close Yang mai for the same. Altogether 4 needles. i split the treatment into 2 halfs for both vessels. I needled with the flow of channel, with intention of opening at master and closing at couple. Simply contacted Qi and left. no manipulation.

After first treatment she was amazed at how she felt. The effects were imediate. When she got off the table her legs felt light. she was swinging her leg saying it was never this light for the last 3 years. I continued on with the same protocol for the remainder of the treatments. adding in some local ashi needles on her thighs for the last 3.

Her legs have stayed light for most of the time. but whilst doing her daily 30min walk, she noticed that there is now tight muscle pain and its moving. Muscles on the side of her legs used to be very painful to palpate but since treatment are now not sore to press hard. the pain has instead returned to where it first manifested - just above the knee, her hip which hasnt showed for or 2 and a half years and around the siatica area. it is now really effecting her lower back where she is feeling most of the pain and up to shoulders.

In terms of heat...it only helps quell it a little, in no way does the pain dissipate. She has had no relief in anyway in the last 3 years. Only since treatments of EVs started.

I also gave Tuina on thighs for very last treatment. She didnt do her 30min walk for 2 days to rest. when she did very sore pulling feeling as before. heavyness only returned a little.

Hope that helps a little more,

Thanks guys,

CC

Sounds like chronic stress, overcharged TW, underenergized Spleen.

Do you think she is willing to do some energy balancing qigong-derived exercises?

Donna Eden's book, Energy Medicine, offers a number of them, along with an explanation of how TW grabs spleen's energy.

Does she sleep well? Get to sleep before 11 (end of TW time?)

Does she crave sweets?

That's a start. Some of my articles on this site talk about TW. There's also a description of a potent exercise to balance TW and Spleen energies and activatre regulator channel in my book "The Well-Being Switch" available from the store at my website.

sp definately needs work. SP3, st 40,st 36, moxa sj4, light cupping is good to use on fibro pt&#39s as well.

Try a damp- heat pain herbal formula.
