inflammation of gallbladder

[Guest guest]

Recently I was hospitalised for inflammation of gall bladder.

Initially I was only having fever and I saw 4 chinese doctors for my

fever. The first doctor felt that my qi was weak and the fever was

due to 'she ren'. He prescribed dang gui and xuan shen. The second

doctor saw my tongue and she suspected there may be some sand in my

gall bladder. She prescribed qin fang bai du and an acuputure was

done on my he guan and he gu. I only felt well for a while and the

fever came back. Then the pain came between the apex of the rib

cage. I consulted a third chinese doctor. She felt the medicine

was too cooling for my stomach. She precribed shi gao, ma huang

etc. An acuputure was done on my he gu and san yang jiao. The fever

subsided in the morning but in the afternoon, I was vomitting very

badly and the spain spread to the whole of my gastric area. I went

to see a fourth chinese doctor and she felt the 2nd and 3rd chinese

doctor had given me the wrong medicine. She gave me another

medicine and acuputure and ba guan. After taking her medicine, the

pain spread to the right side of my body. Upon checking with this

4th doctor, she said it was alright and definitely there would be

pain. There was no need to be hospitalised and I just need to see

her again the next day. I saw the western doctor and I tried to

take the western medicine for the gastric but I vomited everything.

By then I could hardly walk, sit and lie. My family sent me to the

hospital and the doctor had wanted to do a open surgery. I was

fighting for the fever for more than two weeks and it was only after

the sixth day in the hospital that the fever came down and the

doctors decided against operating until 6-8 weeks later using

lapascopy instead of open surgery. I was on drip for 8 days without

food and water. I still felt weak after discharge from the hospital

for 1 week.

I am a TCM student in Singapore, finishing my first year. After

this incident, I somehow lost confidence in TCM. There was no

motivation for me to continue the course and I have lost absolute

confidence in TCM. Right now I am trying apple flush to see whether

it works for my inflammation of my gall bladder. I am still in the

dilemna of whether or not to go for the lapacopy to remove the gall

bladder. My CT scan showed no sign of stone and my doctors think it

may be smaller than 1 cm and that why it cannot be seen in the

scan. Another HIDSCAN was suggested. The western doctors felt that

it was necessary to remove the gall bladder as I may have the

problem again till I die. The chinese doctors felt otherwise. This

sickness came as a surprise to me as I am very careful with my diet

and lifestyle. I am a believer of holistic living. I don't know is

there anyone who could provide me with some advice.

someone may be able to help you, but you will need to provide

some very specific details using the format below. You have

given some already, but we need the exact TCM diagnosis and

the complete list of ingredients for formulas you have taken.

 

1) Chief complaint/Chinese disease (bing)

 

2) Biomedical Dx and supporting lab tests

 

3) Relevant Medical History, include habits, diet, exercise, etc.

 

4) questioning examination (subjective)

5) pulse & nbsp; and palpation examination (objective)

 

6) tongue and observation examination (objective)

 

7) the pattern(s) and treatment principles you chose, including

your rationale (unless this is your question) (assessment)

 

8) herbs used (unless this is your question) (plan)

 

9) other treatments or lifestyle changes

What do you suspect was the success rate using only herbs and/or

acupuncture?

>>>>That really depends on which condition you are talking about and what you define as success. I have to say that I was not very impressed with the WM diagnostics of the Dr, including the surgeons, in the hospital I worked in.

I have no reservations saying that all acute abdomens should be treated with a combined methods and not my TCM alone. There is benefit in combination in almost all patients.
