Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi all, I'm a TCM student looking for some advice as I'm not yet able to treat myself, and many of you on this list have a greater understanding of both Chinese and Western Medicine. I've recently been diagnosed with Pelvi-Ureteric-Junction- Obstruction. The urologist said that it's a birth fault of some sort and will require surgery (a removal of the narrowed ureter). The fault is present in both ureters. However, the waiting list for this operation is a year long. I'd like to know what I could do in the mean time to:- 1. Reduce further damage to the kidneys (right kidney is already 1/3 damaged) 2. Prevent reccurent cystitis 3. Nourish the 'Will' I'd also like to know anyones veiws on how this will (and may already have) affect the 'Will and fear' stored by the kidney, and how the removal of the obstruction may If anyone is interested you can contact me for further information on symptoms, medical history, etc., just mail me. Thankyou for taking the time to read this. I hope you are all well. Love and light Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Randy R.! Male. You didn't change the subject line, did you? I can't find the original post to make any sense of your question. *Never* change the subject line when replying to a post. The email client will put in " Re: " and then repeat the subject. Then people following the thread will be able to organize the messages. At 11:15 PM 3/20/2004, you wrote: >Are you male or female?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Pete, Female. I know the member who posted the original post. If you go to the archives and go back a few days you'll find it and you'll see it ties up with all the replies. The fact that Randy's message didn't tie up is a little puzzling.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hi Everyone, I'm female, 21 years of age. Before the discovery of this stricture of the ureter I was subjected to repeated urinary infections, one after another for the length of 2/3 months of last year (from spring break onwards). I was given antibiotics and told to go away by my doctor. It wasn't until I was in excruciating pain (lower back and inside surface of the bladder) and began urinating blood that I was taken seriously and an investigation of the internals was begun. It wasn't until this had been diagnosed as something other than a figment of my imagination. Now that we know what it is and how to fix it I get the impression by the urologist that I should have no further questions on the matter. BUT I can't help wonder how a physical malfunction could affect the development of the emotional/spiritual aspects of our being. I understand that the physical problems (like a malfunctioned organ) can be removed and this will not remove the qi aspect (or sub-spirit), but surely it must affect it somehow. I've been trying to work myself throught the logic of it for a few weeks now. We know that Yin (blood, and body fluids) are dependant upon Yang (qi) to move. One cannot be without the other. If we look at pelvi-ureteric-junction-obstruction, there's a physical obstruction which is hindering the flow of toxins out of the body. If the fluids are not moving, doesn't this mean that the qi is also not flowing as it should be, with ease? Would this prevent the spirit from being nourished by the qi of the entire body? Or does the spirit develop through other means, and if so please explain how (remember that this is a congenital condition). If I'm on the right track, then is it possible that the removal of the pysical obstruction, could lead to an emotional release which had previously been congested? In this case (as the kidney is the organ directly involved), maybe, unsubstancial fear, or unable to face the prospect of becomming older (I don't think it'd be the second one in my case).I find it increasingly difficult to seperate the two aspects of the body that so beautifully entwines [spirit and body]. What are your veiws on this? Keep well. Jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
