This patient at Children's Hospital in Boston got sick in Jan. a few

days after her brother had diarrhea. She also had diarrhea and has been

unable to hold food since. She has pain along the ST channel in the

thigh, inflamation in the Hara that is such that you can palpate the

heat 6 inches above the abdomen and pain in the wrist. The wrist was

xrayed and they thought the scaphoid bone was broken. They put a cast

on. When the cast came off the pain was still there and a recent MRI

showed acute inflamation of the area. The inflamation falls along the

LU/LI channel. She is unable to walk except in shuffling steps because

if she takes big steps there is terrible pain from CV 3 to CV 14. They

have suggested, because of the variety of pain and the lack of a clear

diagnosis that it is possible that this is in her head. The mother is

confused and the girl is worried that maybe it is in her head. They are

going back to Kansas City in a few days. Does anyone have a

recommendation for a TCM practitioner in the area I can refer them to. I

direct the Shiatsu program at Children's. I do not work withthe kids,

just the families so my information is limited. What I have desribed is

what I found sitting with the young girl for few minutes. Thanks for

any help. Bobby

Hi. Wow. This sounds pretty inconclusive for a modern medical hospital. No

intravenous, no labwork? What is wrong here? No insurance? Doesn't make sense.

 Heat so strong may/must be drawn off. Abdominal guasha with cooling lotion,

followed by covering, followed by guasha w cooling herb, followed by covering,

to allow heat to come to surface... for a few times. Watch, observe carefully.

Also bleeding ting points.

 Then see if appetite slowly returns. Heat in MJ will refuse food, feeling to

full and troubled. Extreme heat causes wind, shaking, looks like weak. Extreme

heat, alcohol bath.

 Need more info.

ps All these procedures are not to be done if you don't what I'm talking about.

There are signs, and when enough is enough, and sequence and timing

considerations.  eg, Alcohol

 bath means an alcohol rub to cool the surface... in extremis
