hi - by the time I was finally diagnosed, I was severely underweight and barely functioning. Did anyone get so sick to the point they weren’t able to work anymore?
Even with treatment the fatigue and brain fog are so severe that I can take care of daily functioning/chores and that’s it.
i just wanted to see if anyone is a similar situation.
I know there have been previous threads but nothing recent (seems like things are archived after a few months).
would people be willing to share some of their stories (just living with it/diagnosis/ things you’ve learned / whatever!)
just looking for a sense of community and hearing people’s experience. thx!! 🙏
just curious to learn more about bone broth for health besides what google and questionable websites say.
does TCM actually encourage it for gut health, fatigue, etc? are there any resources you’d point to to read more (I’m thinking of going to my library to look for the materia medica or the equivalents bc I want to nerd out)
I know like supports like so it helps tendons and skin and joints but is it often prescribed or just eaten every day in Asian cultures anyway (as a base for cooking/sauces, soups, or just as meals ie eating beef tendon)?
i love going to my local Asian market for all the cuts I can’t get anywhere else (beef tendon, chicken feet, knuckle bones, pork skin) and throwing them in my crock pot which is now basically running 24/7. I want to keep trying more things like intestines and pig ears as I work up the courage…
just curious to learn more about the cultural/medicinal aspects of this since its largely missing from American culture (at least for 50 years or so)
