Huh? Really? Not that I doubt you.

Just so we're all on the same page, by BL 37 do you mean something other than the point mid way down the back of the thigh in the depression between the hamstring muscles?

A.E.P.?

are you referring to a different point now?

Perhaps the spirit point of the Heart Protector Shu / Yu that the charts I have number as BL 43, 3 cum lateral to midline, on lower border of spinous process T4?

Its not that I'd arbitrarily try a point based on a symptom but I do like to inquire backwards from suggested points to get a better understanding of the etiology of the adventure.
