Yes- my kids drive me crazy sometimes which I know is normal but on Sunday and today- I CAN NOT take it! They have off today so everyone is here.It is kind of scary- like I feel like- if I don't get out of here- I am going to lose it. Normal "bad" things that would make any Mom mad are making me ballistic. I feel like something is going on and it isn't PMS which is usually to blame for all of  my out of ordinary temper issues. This is like deep resentment and anger coming out at them. I definitely think my protocol is causing this because I don't feel like myself.

i woke up with an itchy throat and snot in one side of my face.  how do you guys distinguish between seasonal stuff (the seasons are changing) vs die off (he justed up my sf)?

Three years and three months ago when I had my first appointment with Dr B, she explained to me healing would not be linear. There would be twists and turns that we would work out imbalances together. Those words I have come back to again and again as comfort when I feel I have not progressed or developed another symptom etc. It is wonderful to read so many success stories of having only mild urgency or background urges after a year or two.

Hey there,

Anykne know if there is a significance with the thumbs and pain in Chinese medicine? I think it's related to the lung and large intestines, but can't seem to find too much on the subject. My thumbs have been hurting, and had another blood vessel pop spontaneously on my L thumb and have what I think is a wart or some painful growth on my R thumb. If it is a wart, is there any safe way to remove it, has Dr. M or B given anyone a remedy to try? Thanks!

I have been doing better gradually over the past year with many many downs throughout but overall, I'd say I am a little better.

Does anyone known of any approved options for very chapped lips due to being sick and having to breathe like a bulldog with my mouth open? I need some relief before they crack and them I usually get a fever blister which is horrible. 

Hi the way the site is set up it is hard to follow up sometimes! Did you ask Dr.B about the exercise issue?Why you would still be having bladder sx this far into treatment? I think I am too (but not sure if other things are at play). Wondering if you got more information or changed up your routine. ALso, other than exercise, are you symptom-free or do you still have symptoms? Tx!

Hi All I have had joint pain (in my heels off and on for 20 years!) and my right knee got really bad about 7 years ago, after the birth of my second child. It is worse around ovuation (feels stiff and hurts a bit when I use it). I also injured this knee when I was a kid. Also my LEFT hamstring and left low-back get weird. 

I have noticed when I'm flares my urge and frequency is worse when standing or walking.  Has anyone else noticed this or does anyone know why other than gravity?
