Update on Help for 5 years of daily headaches

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I saw my patient yesterday. Her tongue coat was still

sticky, but now thin and white and on the dry side.

The redness at the tip is also gone, with the color

pale overall. I asked about sinus congestion - she

has never had this problem except with colds. I also

asked if she's seen a chiropractor, and she did for a

full year after the headaches started. He told her

that her C2 is rotated, and does not maintain its

proper position.

 

I shared with her some of the replies I've received

from you all about the tonsillectomy and scarring.

Then she told me about some very hard nodules in her

neck which her previous doctors didn't care about.

These are either surgical scars or hardened lymph

nodules in her neck, slightly anterior to SI-17. They

are indeed rock-hard, with the one on the right side

significantly larger than the left side, and her

headaches are also more pronounced on the right side,

so I think we're on to something here. The nodules

are quite tender and I needled them directly as well

as some other tender areas around her jaw and ears and

occipital region. The nodules were much smaller after

the treatment, and we'll see if it impacts her

headaches.

 

I also recommended the whey protein powder and the

vitamin C. I have not recommended Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang

because she doesn't have intermittent fever and

chills, nor Xiao Chai Hu Tang for the same reason. I

am considering the variation of Huo Xiang Zheng Qi Wan

recommended.

 

Thank you all for your suggestions and help!

Hi Doc. Xu,

Due to some family emergency, I haven't seen her in 2 weeks. I don't know how

she's doing. Thanks for asking, and I'll keep the list posted when I see her

again, probably some time next week.
