A case of chronic fatigue syndrome

土郎中

Liu was a 27 year old male who visited us on June 5, 2016.
The patient complained of fatigue and listlessness for about half a month.
About half a mouth ago, the patient experienced fatigue, listlessness, weak limb and sleepiness, but appetite, urination and defecation were normal. Though western and Chinese medicines had been administered but failed.
The patient was fat. his pulse and tongue were normal. He was diagnosed as chronic fatigue syndrome and treated with the modified decoction of Gegen with the following ingredients: gegen 30g, mahuang6g, guizhi15g, gancao15g, shengjiang15g, dazao10g, wuweizi30g, xianmao10g, xianlingpi15g, xianhecao100g, shichangpu15g, hongshen10g, huangqi60g, fuling30g.
The above herbal medicine was made into a decoction for oral intake. After 10 doses of the decoction were taken, all of his symptoms disappeared without trace.
Remark: a Japanese study finds that Gegen has the effects of refreshing and combating fatigue. Xianmao, xianlingpi and xianhecao are collectively known as the decoction of three faeries, which can be used to treat qi deficiency. Wuweizi and shichangpu work to refresh and reinforce the brain. In my practice, I often use the formula to treat this disorder with good result.
