请您分享我治疗的成功病例

黄文川博士

天天在诊所忙忙碌碌，有治疗成功病例的喜悦，也有治疗失败的沮丧。无论成功还是失败，都能丰富我的临床经验，使我做的更好。今天我介绍几例近期治疗的成功病例，与大家分享我成功后的喜悦。

病例一，左眼疼痛一个星期。BRETT，32岁，毛利人，左眼疼已经一个星期，去看医生，给予强力止痛药不见好转。医生已经为他约好眼科专家，需要等待。左眼内上眼角刺痛，上眼皮紧张，疼痛严重时，睁不开眼，按压内眼角，感觉舒服。因为眼痛，整夜不能睡眠。他的父亲是我的老病人，建议他来我诊所针灸治疗。

眼疼一般会想到眼部的疾病，如青光眼、眼支,、丛集性头痛、三叉神经炎等。我首先判断患者的眼压，用手按压双侧眼部，硬度基本一致，并且患者的疼痛部位是在左眼内上角的眼眶，而不是在眼内，因此我可以排除青光眼的可能。患者的疼痛是持续性，而三叉神经疼和丛集性头痛都是阵发性，也排除这二个病的可能。三叉神经炎可以发现额部的感觉有过敏或迟钝，而检查时患者没有这个特点，也排除三叉神经炎的可能。我遇到过后头部的“枕大神经炎”病例，患者只有眼部疼痛，因此我检查患者的左后头部，发现后头部的皮肤过敏，因此诊断枕大神经炎。我选择针灸治疗患者的眼疼，取后头部的风池，针灸三次后疼痛明显减轻，六次后疼痛消失。针灸时，患者问我，眼疼你怎么针灸后头啊，他可不知道他的病就在后头部，而不在眼部，当我给他解释后，他才恍然大悟。

枕大神经是从颈部和头的交界处发出，而分布到头部的后半部分，支配后头部的感觉。枕大神经损伤时一般患者会感到后头痛，也就是偏头痛，少数患者后头痛可放射到眼部的疼痛，也有极少数枕大神经痛患者只有眼部的疼痛，BRETT就是一例。

病例二，下腹疼痛十多年。CHRIS，男，27岁，欧裔，下腹部疼痛多年，记得十多年前的一个阑尾炎手术后，他的下腹部疼痛就没有停止过。有时下腹部隐隐作痛，不影响日常生活和工作，有时腹部疼痛难忍，不得不卧床休息。患者经常感到下腹胀满，小腹下坠，患者饮食还可以，没有腹泻。曾服用止痛药、助胃肠消化药、抗菌消炎药等没有明显改善。长期的腹痛、腹胀已折磨他精神憔悴、疲劳无力、失眠多梦，影响到他的工作与生活。在朋友引荐下，找到我，尝试中医中药。

下腹疼可见于许多疾病，但对于这个患者，在我思考中首先想到的还是腹膜粘连或肠间粘连。检查时发现右下腹压痛明显，无反跳疼，手下按压时腹部较硬，有硬结。根据患者的阑尾炎手术史，在结合我的检查，我还是认为他是阑尾炎手术后引起的腹膜粘连或肠间粘连。根据患者的脉象和舌象，中医诊断为血瘀气滞。

我采用中医综合治疗，针灸、拔罐和红外线照射，再配合中药。针灸以腹针为主，配合阳明经取穴，以通经活络；红外线腹部照射，以消炎、活血；腹部拔罐，行气活血；中药以膈下逐瘀汤加减，方中当归、川芎、赤芍养血活血，与逐瘀药同用，可使瘀血祛而不伤阴血；丹皮清热凉血，活血化瘀；桃仁、红花、灵脂破血逐瘀，以消积块；配香附、乌药、枳壳、元胡行气止痛；尤其川芎不仅养血活血，更能行血中之气，增强逐瘀之力；甘草调和诸药。全方以逐瘀活血和行气药物居多，使气帅血行，更好发挥其活血逐瘀，破症消结之力。

治疗一个星期后，患者症状明显减轻，精神状态好转，睡眠改善。二个星期后，腹部变软，疼痛明显减轻，有时都感觉不到疼痛，腹胀消失。三个星期后，无腹疼，无腹胀，腹部无压痛，腹部变软，睡眠基本正常，疲乏感消失。又继续治疗二个星期，患者基本恢复正常，嘱咐患者加强锻炼，及时随访。

腹膜粘连和肠间粘连都是阑尾炎手术后的后遗症，其实就是一个慢性无菌性炎症。他的西医的治疗主要把精力放在止痛上，而没有在无菌性炎症和粘连上下工夫。针灸、拔罐、红外线的外部治疗，在配合中药的内部调理，很快就把他的粘连和炎症消除。在临床上，我们也有这样的经验，西医的抗菌消炎确实是很强大，如化脓性扁桃体炎（细菌引起），三天先锋霉素，炎症就消失了，而慢性无菌性扁桃体炎，先锋霉素就无用了，但中医中药就能发挥作用。

Began approx.1 year ago(Jan/2009)during hottest part of summertime.I was working hard at the time and under stress,initial symptoms were lack of appetite and not liking food.

Despite finishing that work in Feb,symptoms continued to worsen thoroughout the year 2009.appetite was not good and I started having problems urinating.eapecially inthe wintertime when it was cold,I had sudden desire to go to the toilet –like an emergence.iIf I could not go to the toilet immediately it would hurt very much in my penis.

Other symptoms that have developed over the past year:

* When I feel hungry,it is very painful and sudeen.
* Wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat and have to urinate urgently.
* Feeling tired and low energy.
* Sometimes stools are very loose,sometimes Ok.Because I eat 5–6 small meal every day,I need to go to the toilet up to 5 times a day to pass stools.

Morning times are usually the worst.My appetite tends to improve in the afternoon and evening.

Facial nerve palsy

Facial nerve palsy is a nervous system disorder in which a damaged nerve in the skull affects the movement of the muscles of the face.
It is a form of cranial mononeuropathy VII.
Causes
Facial nerve palsy occurs when there is damage to the seventh cranial (facial) nerve. The seventh facial nerve is located in the skull. It controls movement of the muscles of the face. It also affects feeling in the ear canal and the sense of taste.
This type of nerve damage may occur with local growths, such as a tumor, that put pressure on the facial nerve.
It also may have no obvious cause.
Symptoms
• Change in the appearance of the face
o Difficulty closing one eye
o Difficulty making expressions, grimacing
o Difficulty with fine movements of the face
o Facial droops
o Paralysis of one side of the face
• Difficulty eating (items fall out of the weak corner of the mouth)
• Face feels pulled to one side
• Face feels stiff
• Headache
• Impairment of tast
• Increased loudness of sound in one ear
• Pain behind the ear (for Bell’s palsy)
• Sensitivity to sound (hyperacusis)
Exams and Tests
An examination will show facial drooping on one side of the face or just on the forehead, eyelid, or mouth. Examination of the eardrum may show fluid-filled sacs (vesicles).
Other tests may include:
Lumbar puncture
MIR of head
• Tests to rule out a stroke or other nervous system problems
Treatment
Finding and treating the cause (if it can be found) may relieve symptoms in some cases. The disorder may disappear on its own depending on the severity of nerve damage.
Powerful anti-inflammatory drugs (steroids) may be used if the condition is caught early enough. The drugs may be used in combination with an antiviral drug called acyclovir.
Your doctor may recommend lubricating eye drops or eye ointments to protect the eye if it doesn’t close completely. You may need to wear a patch over the eye while you sleep.
Your health care provider may recommend surgery to remove any tumors that are pressing on the facial nerve.
acupuncture can make fast improvement of facial palsy
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outlook varies. Some patients recover completely, while others permanently lose movement of the face.
Possible Complications
• Changes to the appearance of the face (disfigurement) from loss of movement
• Changes to taste
• Damage to the eye
• Nerves that grow back to the wrong structures (aberrant regeneration) — for example, smiling causes the eye to close
• Spasm of face muscles
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your face droops or you have other symptoms of facial nerve palsy.
Prevention
Quickly treating tumors or other growths that press down on the facial nerve may reduce the risk of facial nerve palsy in some cases.
Alternative Names
Neuropathy – facial; Cranial mononeuropathy VII; Seventh cranial nerve palsy

Tips for Finding an Acupuncturist

When seeking out a professional acupuncturist, it is important to ensure that the acupuncturist is licensed and certified. Sterilising procedures should be used and more often than not, your acupuncturist will likely use disposable needles. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of needles, an acupuncturist may provide alternatives such as herbal methods, magnetic needles and ear cups. These are thought to provide similar results although are not considered as effective as acupuncture that utilises needles.

Whatever path you take to treating your problem, you can be relieved to know that you have many options, particularly alternative ones such as acupuncture. Hopefully, you will find a qualified acupuncturist who can listen to your concerns about the problem and begin a treatment plan that provides effective relief.

写给长期处在病痛的朋友们

黄文川博士

新年伊始，想写一点祝福的话语，反复思考后，今天不再写那些中听不中用的废话，写点中用不中听的大实话，也许能对那些长期处在病痛的朋友一点帮助。
长期病痛就不是一天、一个星期和一个月，而是一年或数十年，因此我给长期病痛的朋友的第一个建议就是一定要确诊疾病，也就是知道自己患的是什么病痛。患了一年或数十年的病痛，自己连患的什么病都不知道，一问三不知，我说是不应该的，也是对自己的身体不负责任。我说的确诊疾病，是西医的确诊，而不是中医的确诊。在现代社会，我认为西医诊断相对精确，患者容易理解，而中医诊断患者不容易懂，也不理解一些很深奥的概念。如西医的坐骨神经痛，患者就容易理解，而中医的痹证，患者就很茫然；再如西医的胃溃疡，大家都知道是什么概念，而中医的胃脘痛，大家就很费解，再说到脾胃不和、肝气犯胃等，就更不知所云。西医的诊断需要丰富的临床经验和适当的现代先进仪器检查，最后得出疾病诊断。虽然西医诊断离不开先进仪器，但做什么检查，用什么仪器，是医生说了算，并且检查结果的分析也是医生的责任，因此医生是诊断疾病的第一要素，那种靠仪器看病的医生一定不是一个精良的好医生。去年遇到一个马来西亚患者，剧烈上腹痛二年余。起初医生怀疑胃的毛病，做胃镜检查没有什么问题，在做上腹部B超、CT也没有发现上腹部的内脏有什么大毛病，就发现有点胆结石。医生认为他的上腹部疼痛一定是这个结石的问题，消化专家建议手术治疗，切除胆囊。他非常兴奋，一定是找到病因了，他的上腹痛将消失了。手术按期执行，手术后，没有发现疼痛有什么好转，这下他更痛苦，没有看到专家的预期效果。找到我，我分析了他的病情，怀疑是上腹丛神经痛，建议他服用神经止痛药，并配合中药、针灸。一个星期后，他的腹痛消失，二年的病痛结束。看来诊断疾病光靠仪器还是不够，还得靠医生的临床经验。诊断正确，治疗就好办了。

长期病痛的患者，一个是因为诊断长期不明确，另一个就是没有选择好合适的治疗方式。在目前条件下，一些本身就能治疗痊愈或好转的疾病，而不是本身就没有方法治疗的疾病，只要治疗方法选择适当，一定不会好几年都治疗不好。任何疾病都有它的发病规律、演变过程和治疗预后，一个经验丰富的医生，一定会知道在目前的医疗条件下，那一种治疗方式是最适合这种疾病。如上呼吸道炎症引起的长期咳嗽，我会建议服用汤药治疗；脊髓性颈椎病引起的截瘫，我会建议患者西医手术治疗；震颤麻痹引起的手抖、走路缓慢，我会建议首先接受西医的抗震颤麻痹药治疗；面神经麻痹，我首先建议患者接受针灸治疗；骶髂关节半脱位，我建议患者推拿或整脊治疗；体癣或股癣或脚癣，我建议患者选用西医抗真菌药膏外用。因此无论是中医医师，还是西医医生，都不要因为从事的专业和医生的喜好，来为患者选择治疗方法，而是根据患者的疾病。王婆卖瓜不适合医生这个职业。

长期病痛的朋友，可能本身自己患的就是治疗不好的疾病，在目前医疗条件下，没有可行的治疗方式，因此承认现实是我对患者的忠告。有的患者医生告诉他们患的是不治之症，但是他们仍就医不止，总相信会有奇迹发生，让医学骗子有机可乘。如运动神经元病、脊髓空洞症、遗传性感觉神经痛等神经系统疾病，在目前医疗条件下，都是不治之症，可社会上就有“脊髓空洞症专科医院”。我的一位患者，诊断为运动神经元病，上肢不能抬举，我劝告他针灸效果不好，不要浪费时间和金钱，他不听，反而跑到中国看“专家”，针灸、中药、注射等，花去他几十万人民币，最后人财两空。有些疾病虽然也是没有好的方法治疗，但它对患者的生命无影响，患者更要面对现实。如面神经麻痹后遗症，一般半年以后，面瘫没有恢复就很难再完全恢复了。可这是关于脸面的问题，患者会常年奔波与医院之间，听到好医生就去治疗，听到好方法就去尝试，最后搞的自己精疲力竭，无功而反。

还有一些患者本身的疾病不是很严重，但就是不舒服，天天感觉疾病缠身，常年治疗，不见好转，我会建议患者请忘掉疾病。如神经衰弱、慢性肌肉劳损、慢性咽炎、慢性鼻炎等，这些疾病，治疗后也许会改善，但遇到不利因素，疾病又变回如处。疾病的痛处会在大脑神经中枢有一个反应点，长期的病痛会使这个反应点兴奋，因此早晨醒来的第一反应就是想到自己的病痛，长期的病痛在脑海中挥之不去。改善这种病痛的方法之一就是转移对这种病痛的注意力，忘掉它。

看病确实需要智慧，但长期病痛的朋友把他们的智慧消磨贻尽，“当事者迷，旁观者清”。当大家处在长期病痛，最好的办法就是找一个你的医生朋友，这时候他们一定会帮上这个忙，利用他们的医学知识，为你出谋划策。我常说，一生中一定要交一个医生朋友。（请浏览 www.drwin.co.nz 阅读更多医学文章，黄博士诊所 09 5296185）
