My new doctor believes I have minor fibromyalgia and although the fibromyalgia medicine Savella helped, I want to manage it without medications. I also had low white blood cell counts for a long time which my previous doctors think are...

Last year, a nutritionist told me that I had stage 2 adrenal fatigue and I took a special vitamin C along with other vitamin supplements. They noticeably helped but not enough and the supplements were expensive so I strayed off...

My acupuncturist thinks I have a heart yin deficiency but she says that my condition is also very close to kidney yin deficiency. Therefore, I'm trying to determine what my underlying condition is in terms of TCM and I understand...

Hello, I've had fatigue, muscle stiffness, and sleeping problems for the past 3 years due to an extremely stressful college semester. I managed to graduate last year January but at the cost of running my body down. Seeing a psychiatrist...

My Japanese acupuncturist believes it could be heart yin deficiency (though she believed it was spleen qi deficiency with blood stagnation in the first place), but a Chinese medicine doctor I consulted with online said that I have a kidney...

Thank you for your input, Mr. Mei. From what we&#39ve deduced, my WBC is indeed most likely fine. I get enough hours of sleep but the problem is that when I wake up, I feel tired and not refreshed. I...

These past few weeks have been quite rough since tapering off of the Venlafaxine has been a bother with the withdrawal symptom known as "brain zaps", but I&#39ve finally been free of antidepressants for a week and the brain zaps...

I agree with the marketing theory. There are a number of doctors online who sell their own adrenal fatigue products but when you look at the ingredients, you can buy most of them off the shelf at your local grocery...

Thanks everyone for your comments. I&#39ve been consulting with a TCM doctor online and am waiting for a prescription herbal formula for kidney yin deficiency and a yin invigorator to come in from China. Actually, when I took a look...

Thanks, Mr. Mei. I tried your suggestion and there doesn&#39t seem to be any negative interactions. I&#39m almost done tapering off of the medication and I can&#39t wait to finally be off of it. My herbalist told me that a...

Just asked my acupuncturist yesterday what she thinks is affecting me in acupuncture terms and she said that I indeed have a spleen chi deficiency and blood stagnation. She also said something about water retention (I think that it fluctuates)....

I was briefly looking up long term spleen qi deficiency online until I came across some very interesting information. I noticed that teeth marks on the sides of the tongue are a good indicator of spleen qi deficiency. Ever since...

Thank you Mr. Mei. I&#39ve checked out Li4 and my acupuncturist did use that point. I&#39ll look at the other later and take note of them.I was also wondering if going to a massage therapist occasionally would be okay. My...

Thank you Mr. Dupuis. I&#39ll go ahead and take a look around the forums you mentioned. As for the red ginseng and astragalus, I think I remember the Chinese acupuncturist telling me that they were supposed to increase my energy...
