         38岁女士，在做人工受孕。西医说她的FSH激素太高，很难怀孕，而取出的卵细胞质量又不好。她试了几次都失败后，决定用中药和针灸疗程来帮助提高卵细胞的质量和调节内分泌。2015年10月至11月，她共做了12次针灸，吃了16副中药。2015年11月28日取出一枚优质的卵细胞，第二天卵细胞成功受精。
          2016年2月29日来我诊所告知她已怀孕14周，说谢谢我用中医疗法帮助她产生优质卵细胞，从而使人工受精过程顺利进行。恭喜她！

Carpal tunnel syndrome(Acupucture treatment) 腕管综合征

Male, 39 years old, has been diagnosed  with carpal  tunnel for 1 year. He started seeing me on April 07, 2015. At that time, he complained of pain in his index and middle finger on both hands. It was worse during the nighttime than it was during the day. He also has pain in the tendons that joint the forearm muscles on the outside of the elbow (lateral epicondyle )when pressure is applied on it.  He plays guitar every Sunday. Sometimes his fingers get so tight that he cannot open his fingers when he plays.
He accepted 2 sessions of acupuncture with moxibustion, an acupuncture technique where a stick of moxa is lit and the tip is gently applied to the needle handle. The heat from the moxa will transfer into the points and travel through the meridians. This will purge the coldness from his joints. The following Sunday, he didn't feel any pain when he was playing guitar, and he is really happy about this amazing result. He continues his treatment so his carpal tunnel can be fixed.

男性，39岁。患腕管综合征1年。2015年4月7日初诊。主诉：二三指麻痛，手腕容易累，时麻时紧，日轻夜重。当用稍重的力按压肱骨外上的韧带时，有痛感。他每周日都弹吉他。有时手指紧到不能张开。2次针灸加艾灸治疗后，他在跟着的星期天弹了几乎一天的吉他，但他一点也没有感到手指痛或麻或不能张开。他对于治疗结果极其满意，现在继续治疗，务求彻底治好。

       一位女性病人，左眼视力急降，觉得眼前有厚黑影。西医专科诊断为老年性黄斑变性，症型为干性。她于发病后1个月来诊所就诊。一番望闻问切后，我认为她是中医眼科的暴盲证，肝郁血瘀型。我给她针灸治疗为主，有时配合活血化瘀的中药。针灸主要穴位是：睛明，攒竹，养老，太溪，太冲，中都，血海，足三里等。中药用通窍活血汤加减（没有麝香）。经过5次治疗后，觉得左眼视力明显有恢复，现在治疗了14次，她觉得已恢复了的70-80%的视力。

     治疗本病的关键是要及早治疗，针灸为主。因为主穴精明在眼球旁，对疏通眼部经络血气有极其重要的作用，越早针灸，在眼部气血没有严重闭塞时最好。
