More Than Migraine—He Finally Got His Life Back- 偏头痛

多年的头痛、失眠和严重便秘改善后，他终于找回了轻松生活的感觉。

60岁的L先生（化名）来到诊所时，最困扰他的并不仅仅是头痛，而是许多长期存在的问题已经严重影响了他的生活品质。

他多年来一直饱受头痛困扰，疼痛主要集中在前额，几乎每天都会发作，每次持续几个小时，常常让他难以专心工作和生活。

除此之外，他还被诊断有PTSD、偏头痛（Migraine）、良性前列腺增生（BPH）和关节炎。

长期以来，他还伴有许多不适：

• 双手明显颤抖，紧张时会更加严重，甚至影响日常生活；

• 手腕、脚踝等关节疼痛；

• 严重便秘，有时一周甚至十天才排便一次；

• 小便频繁、尿量少，有时需要站很久才能排出尿液，每晚起夜4–5次；

• 睡眠很差，经常做噩梦；

• 食欲不好；

• 皮肤瘙痒、脱皮；

• 经常口干口燥。

根据他的整体情况，我们制定了个性化治疗方案，采用针灸配合中药进行整体调理。

经过约两个月的治疗，他的身体出现了许多积极变化。

最明显的是头痛。

在最近三周里，他仅有一天出现轻微头痛，而且只是隐隐作痛（dull, throbbing pain），没有再出现过去那种持续而剧烈的不适。

除此之外，他还惊喜地发现：

✔ 夜尿由每晚4–5次减少到1次；

✔ 排尿更加顺畅、有力，不再需要站很久才能排尿，也没有强烈的尿急感；

✔ 手抖明显减轻，在家里放松的时候几乎不会发抖；

✔ 手腕和关节疼痛明显减少；

✔ 睡眠改善，噩梦减少；

✔ 每天能够规律排便1–2次，这是他最开心的改变之一；

✔ 皮肤瘙痒和脱屑明显改善；

✔ 口干口燥消失；

✔ 食欲恢复，能够更轻松地享受每天的饮食。

在中医理论中，脾胃被认为是人体后天之本。良好的消化功能不仅有助于营养吸收，也为身体维持整体平衡和恢复活力提供重要基础。

看到患者从每天忍受各种不适，到重新拥有规律的生活、轻松地吃饭、睡觉和活动，是我最欣慰的事情。

治疗不仅仅是改善症状，更重要的是帮助患者重新回归他们热爱的生活。每一位患者都是独一无二的，因此治疗方案也应该因人而异。

More Than Headaches—He Finally Got His Life Back

When a 60-year-old gentleman first came to my clinic, headaches were only part of what he was dealing with.

For years, he had experienced headaches almost every day. The pain was mainly across his forehead and often lasted for several hours, making it difficult to focus on daily life.

He had also been diagnosed with PTSD, migraine, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and arthritis.

In addition, he was struggling with many other chronic symptoms:

• Significant hand tremors that became much worse under stress

• Pain in his wrists, ankles, and other joints

• Severe constipation—sometimes going a week or even ten days without a bowel movement

• Frequent urination with a weak stream, difficulty emptying his bladder, and waking 4–5 times every night to urinate

• Poor sleep with frequent nightmares

• Low appetite

• Dry, itchy, flaky skin

• Persistent dry mouth and thirst

After a comprehensive evaluation, we developed an individualized treatment plan using acupuncture and customized Chinese herbal medicine.

About two months later, he returned with encouraging improvements.

The biggest change was his headaches and migraine.

During the previous three weeks, he experienced only one day of mild discomfort. Instead of the sharp, intense pain he used to have, he described it as a mild dull, throbbing sensation.

He also noticed many other improvements:

• Nighttime urination decreased from 4–5 times to just once each night.

• His urinary stream became stronger and easier, and he no longer had to stand for a long time before urinating.

• His hand tremors became much less noticeable and were minimal when he was relaxed at home.

• Joint pain improved.

• He slept better and had fewer nightmares.

• He was especially happy to have regular bowel movements once or twice every day after years of severe constipation.

• His itchy, flaky skin improved.

• His dry mouth resolved.

• His appetite returned, and he was enjoying meals again.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy digestion is considered an important foundation for overall well-being. By supporting the body's natural balance, many different symptoms may improve together rather than focusing on only one complaint.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing patients regain confidence in everyday life—not just by reducing pain, but by sleeping better, eating well, moving more comfortably, and feeling like themselves again.
