Posts moved from Exploring the scope of homoeopathy in combating the unfortunate consequences of post-COVID-19 survivors based on non-COVID conditions, 2021, Dixit After twelve or so years struggling with ME and trying to stay on top of my working life, I was pleased to see the arrival of a Chinese Medicine surgery arrive in my country town. I went along for a consultation and received very encouraging words. After three months of daily 'teas' (all mixed in front of me every months) I explained to the the practioner there was zero improvemement and we parted ways. Fortunatley(?) I collapsed and was forcibly retired. I changed GP and after a full introductory 'MOT' I was sent straight to a renal clinic who told me that I was the third patient with ME who had taken Chinese Medicine and lost kidney function. The trouble of having no support is that you grab every opportunity to try and stave off failing health. For three of us, it was a serious consequence that year. How many more elsewhere in the country?
what tests show this? would a complete blood count often do? perhaps an anecdotal warning is needed on mepedia [have not checked] or by charities [ditto]?
