[PhD Win Medical Case] acupuncture for one case of the dry mouth and thirsty–cervical spondylosis, neck problem, cervical degeneration, dysautonomia
patient who has dry mouth and thirsty for several months , is a chinses, lady, 30 years old. she came to see me to want to take herbs to help her thirsty, because people think that the thirsty is a organ disease, and is healed by herbs, so never think that the acupuncture can help the thirsty. but I asked the case history carefully, and did body examination, finally I found the root of the her thirsty, it is neck problems(cervical spondylosis). her chin could not touch the breast bone closely, and her muscle in the neck and up back was tight, more pressing pain in the neck.
she feels very well, the dry mouth and thirsty is less, she did not drink plenty of water every day after three sessions. below is her message to me, she want to me to copy it, then put it in our website, let more people know that acupuncture can help some of the thirsty.
I came to see Dr win due to having dry mouth and constantly feeling thirsty even after drinking so much water. He diagnosed me and said that my symptoms are most likely due to dysautonomia. He also found that my neck was not quite straight as it is tilted forward a bit. This was possibly from looking downwards too much from work, using the computer and keeping the same posture for long periods of time. The long periods of working without rest probably also contributed to dysautonomia.
I have done 3 sessions of acupuncture and cupping at his clinic so far and found that my neck looks a lot straighter along with my back. I also noticed that I felt less thirsty after the second session, and drink less water during my working hours (from about 2000 mls previously to 1400 mls within my 8-hour work days). Dr Win also recommended taking more regular breaks and exercising more often which I think is also quite practical. I highly recommend him as he truly cares about curing the root cause rather than prescribing unnecessary medication.
