Symptom Checker

[Guest guest]

Do any of you know of any sites that let you put your symptoms down

and then give a diagnosis? I know that webmd has something like, but

I am more into a natural approach. I did have a mini phone

consultation with the herb company I got some herbs from. He said

that it sounds like my qi is not moving. So I got two bottles of

their stuff, but it is not changing anything. I made intentions to

change certain lifestyle habits as of the new year, but my willpower

is very weak and I slip back into the same old thing. The one pill is

called willpower and it contains: polygala, dragon bone, eluthero,

ophiopogon, asparagus,schizandra, spirit poria, astragalus,

codonopsis, white peony, licorice and aged citrus peel. The other is

called 10 complete supertonic, it contains: codonopsis root,

astragalus root, bai-zhu atractylodes rhizome, poria sclerotium, dong

quai root,prepared rehmannia root, chinese white peony root, cinnamon

bark, red jujube fruit and chinese licorice root. I am supposed to

take the one 3 caps 2x a day and the other 2 caps 3x aday. I also

take fish oil, bee pollen and multi vitamin/mineral. These are all

supposed to be good quality and I am not noticing a change for the

better, in fact, I am feeling worse.I don't always take them every

day and when I take them, I only take two of each of the herbs.

Partly because I don't like taking so many pills and to make them

last. I am wondering if I am even absorbing the nutrients from these

supplements and the food I eat. After I take the fish oil, I burp it

up right away. Someone on another list said that it is either bad or

I am not absorbing it. My sypmtoms are lack of energy/motivation,

tiredness, premature gray hair, low libido, thick, rough, cracked dry

heels, feet are often cold. Ido have some stress because of these

symptoms and my kids are always fighting. I am also nursing, and wake

up a few times a night to feed. Sometimes I wake up myself though and

feel like I'm starving. I am addicted to carbs/sugars. Also, my teeth

have recently began to decay and it came on very quickly. That is why

I get the feeling of some type of mineral deficiency. There aren't

any practioners near me, and if there were, I doubt my insurance

would cover them. So I kind of have to handle this myself, but it is

hard. Any suggestions?Thanks.
