Hello everyone, I am Li Yan, a Chinese medicine doctor. When it comes to epilepsy, many people say it can be cured, while many people say it cannot be cured. In fact, the key lies in whether the patient and the doctor can cooperate with the treatment.
Today I will tell you a case. This is a 67-year-old male patient. When I came, I talked about my patients and came to me for treatment. He said that he fainted on the ground without obvious causes three years ago, his limbs were twitching, and his mouth was foaming. The family was very panicked when they saw it and hurriedly called 120. The patient woke up 4-5 minutes later and felt tired, headache and dizzy. When the family saw the patient awake, they hurriedly took him to the hospital with him on his back. After examination and brain CT, they were diagnosed with epilepsy.
After staying in the hospital for a week, the condition was stable. After being discharged from the hospital, I have been taking Western medicine for treatment. However, it still had no effect. Instead, it also showed symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. My family felt that the side effect was too great, so they stopped the medication immediately. However, after the medication was stopped, the patient became ill again. The family felt even more distressed when they saw the patient like this. Finally, after inquiring from many sources, I found me.
When I first diagnosed: I saw that the patient was in a state of depression and had a yellow complexion. Then I asked my family and said that the patient often had headaches and dizziness. Since the attack 3 years ago, he has been taking Western medicine, and the effect has not been ideal. Every time I take it once, I always vomit and diarrhea, and if I don’t eat it, I always relapse. So I was very worried and found me specially, hoping that I could cure it. I continued to observe the patient's tongue pulse: I found that the tongue was fat, the tongue coating was white and greasy, and the pulse was thin and smooth.
After four diagnosis and dialectical considerations of spleen deficiency, phlegm and dampness, according to the patient's constitution and condition, I have prepared Chinese medicine for to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness and for conditioning. Prescription: Sijunzi Decoction is added and subtracted, because the epilepsy the patient suffered mainly was caused by external evil invasion, but no source of trauma was found in the first diagnosis.
But the signs of the tongue and pulse are consistent with the symptoms of spleen deficiency and removing dampness. If spleen deficiency causes qi to flow poorly. If phlegm blocks the meridians and causes epilepsy, I have treated things that warm and remove dampness, strengthen the spleen and eliminate phlegm. So I prepared this prescription for conditioning her. During the second diagnosis: the patient's epilepsy seizures decreased, his mental outlook improved, his complexion was slightly rosy, his dizziness decreased, and his vomiting and diarrhea basically disappeared. See some effect. I adjusted the prescription and let him continue taking it.
During the third diagnosis: the patient's epilepsy seizure disappeared, his spirit was refreshed, his complexion was rosy, his dizziness, headache disappeared, and his condition was stable. But in order to achieve better treatment, the patient is still taking the medicine. If you have any questions, you can leave a message in the comment area and I will answer it dialectically for you!
