Collective Complaints

that’s right, people are irritable and having herpes outbreaks. http://www.herpesoutbreak.com/284/can-herpes-spread-to-other-parts-of-your-body

allergies, allergies, allergies. people are sneezing, have itchy watery eyes, itchy throats, sniffles, fatigue, and cloudy heads.

everyone is telling me how tired they are this week. despite getting enough sleep, taking afternoon naps, and cutting back on sugar/caffeine/alcohol, they’re still really fatigued. also- a few people have complained of a “burning tongue”. they feel like they burnt their tongue, but they didn’t.

this week is all about labor induction. that’s right, acupuncture can help start labor, and/or help things along once they get started.

today it was all eyes and skin. kind of a weird combo. people complained either of eye pain (ocular migraines), or skin issues (eczema/psoriasis).

the flu is ravaging san francisco.

that’s right, san francisco has the flu. lots of: green/yellow/white phlegm, productive coughs, fatigue, headaches, fever/chills, body aches, etc.

the most common complaint has been back pain- specifically lower back pain. also, the flu seems to be making its way around san francisco.

it’s not really a shared complaint, but several of my patients are falling in love- not with each other.

there’s a cold/flu going around san francisco.

headaches were the shared complaint this week.
