Eczema And Cupping - Chinese Medicine
Sep 18, 2014
I have for the past 2 years suffered from Eczema following an operation, I have attended the Dermatology Clinic tried various steroid creams also,Elidel cream, had a patch test, all unsuccessful. Three weeks ago by chance I went for a Chinese massage while staying with a friend in Haydock Merseyside, the doctor is in St Helens, however during my massage he asked about my Eczema, he suggested I had some cupping done not the one I had once before, he applied the glass cup and pulled it down my back, it was painfully, he suggested cream which I bought, I am three weeks free from Eczema as befor I didn't have one single day away from some part of my skin being itchy and breaking out and one place in particular used to blister and weep. I. Have been back to,have the cupping done again and purchased more cream, at the moment I don"t need to apply the cream as I am clear, I can't believe the relief I have, I had never had Eczema before even as a child

I took 3 antihistamine pills a day for a year and a half and still had full body hives. My allergist told me to add Pepcid AC to the prescribed antihistamines. Out of desperation, I called a licensed acupuncturist. After 4 weeks of weekly acupuncture and drinking her tea blends, I am down to one claritin a day and only trace hives occasionally. I am working toward weaning off of the Claritin and then the tea completely. Probably follow up with occasional acupuncture and tea. As you can imagine I am elated and wishing to offer my fellow sufferers the suggestion of checking into Chinese Medicine. Best Wishes!

I am 33 and I used to be so energetic, liked to work out 4 to 5 days a week. But last year around February my life changed completely! After trying some over the counter probiotics for stomach issues like constipation my life went downhill. Ended up in the hospital 3 times for palpitations, could NOT sleep, diarrhea, shortness of breath, feeling my body freezing then super hot, feeling like I was going to pass out etc etc you named it! My doctor run ALL kinds of test and no answer. He only gave me antidepressants and high doses of sleeping pills. I cried every night because I knew I wasn't depressed but nobody knew how to help me out. Eventually 3 months passed not sure how I made it but started to feel better. Around October I started to feel so exhausted, light headed, low bp, sleepy and going to sleep at 8pm every night to feel a little better the next day, this was just no life and again here we go to my doctor and more test...and nothing! I am a true believer of Homeopathy/ Herbalist medicine so I decided to try Chinese medicine anyways I had nothing to lose anymore and to my experience the recovery has been AMAZING! It's been a month and I can say that I feel much much better. It is kind of hard to really find the help for CFS. (I never took the anti depressants). Please don't get discouraged seek help and always talk to your doctor before trying anything else. All I can say is that I found an amazing Chinese herbalist that is helping out feel better!

So anyone who has read my post before has seen I'm pregnant (28w. 3 days) with my fourth daughter.
Truth be told my husband and I really wanted a boy. My husband is the last of his last name. So if we don't have a boy he's name won't be carried on. No pressure right?!?! Well we checked out the Chinese gender calendar and it said If I conceived in February or August of 2014 I would have a boy. I conceived Feb 23 2014. And turns out I'm having another girl. After my husband and I have talked we will be trying again two more times to have that boy....
Were both really excited to having another baby. Any baby in my eyes is a blessing from GOD.
The weird thing is everyone who approaches me says it looks like I'm carrying a boy. And when I talk to my girlfriends who have had boys my symptoms seem the same as there's . So yesterday I decided to look at the chinese calendar again and once again 2 different web sites both say Im supposed to be having a boy.
Is that weird? Has anyone else ever had this problem? Has the Chinese gender calendar lied to you?
Oh and I had my first ultra sound at 14 weeks and again at 20. They both said it was a girl.

I usually don't eat chinese food, mainly because my stomach HATES it. But, it does taste good, so last night I decided to get some.
My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now, so I woke up at around 4pm, and got my Chinese at 6pm, so I literally had only been awake for about 2 hours. I got Sesame Chicken with some white rice, but ended up not really eating the rice.
After a few bites, I realized I was extremely tired. Like, I could've fallen asleep eating. I ate until I was satisfied, but really, that wasn't much, not even half of what I got. I put my chicken away, then went back to playing video games, and fell asleep while playing. It was only for about an hour, but still, It was weird.
This afternoon, I woke up, got myself my leftovers, heated them up, and again, a few bites in, and i'm practically asleep.
Is there something in Chinese food that makes people tired?

I wonder if biopsy and blood are reliable when someone is already on medication.
my dermatologist is convinced I have lupus, but I am already on medication for rosacea (his Son also dermatologist treated me at first). I take tetracycline and have ivermectin and metronidazole creams. The dermatologist took blood for ana and something else. He also wants to do a skin biopsy but my skin is a lot better since I am on the medicine...except for the extreme redness on cheekbones, nose and chin. (I also have raynaud and some other problems)

I'm a 20 year old male. A little over a week ago, the top of my penis reddened, became painful to touch and swelled up. A few days later the pain dissipated and there isn't as much redness, however the swelling remained. After some research, I came to the conclusion that this was caused by balanitis. The following day, I noticed pinkish spots/rashes on the inside of my thighs. I did some more research and discovered that this was a yeast infection, particularly candida. I read that it's not unusual as both were caused by the yeast.
I'm going to purchase Canesten. I was just wondering if this would work for both the yeast infection and the balanitis? If so, how would I apply it to my penis? It's very swollen therefore very tight, and it physically pains me to retract - I can't even expose the head fully. Would it have to be applied to the penis itself, or will I find a solution if I were to apply it to the foreskin?
