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've 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...

Thanks, Mr. Mei. I tried your suggestion and there doesn't seem to be any negative interactions. I'm almost done tapering off of the medication and I can't 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've checked out Li4 and my acupuncturist did use that point. I'll 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...
