Diet / Nutrition :: Chinese Food Makes Me Sleepy
I usually don't eat chinese food, mainly because my stomach HATES it. But, it does taste good, so last night I decided to get some.
My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now, so I woke up at around 4pm, and got my Chinese at 6pm, so I literally had only been awake for about 2 hours. I got Sesame Chicken with some white rice, but ended up not really eating the rice.
After a few bites, I realized I was extremely tired. Like, I could've fallen asleep eating. I ate until I was satisfied, but really, that wasn't much, not even half of what I got. I put my chicken away, then went back to playing video games, and fell asleep while playing. It was only for about an hour, but still, It was weird.
This afternoon, I woke up, got myself my leftovers, heated them up, and again, a few bites in, and i'm practically asleep.
Is there something in Chinese food that makes people tired?

View 23 RepliesPregnancy :: Has The Chinese Gender Calendar Lied To You?
So anyone who has read my post before has seen I'm pregnant (28w. 3 days) with my fourth daughter.
Truth be told my husband and I really wanted a boy. My husband is the last of his last name. So if we don't have a boy he's name won't be carried on. No pressure right?!?! Well we checked out the Chinese gender calendar and it said If I conceived in February or August of 2014 I would have a boy. I conceived Feb 23 2014. And turns out I'm having another girl. After my husband and I have talked we will be trying again two more times to have that boy....
Were both really excited to having another baby. Any baby in my eyes is a blessing from GOD.
The weird thing is everyone who approaches me says it looks like I'm carrying a boy. And when I talk to my girlfriends who have had boys my symptoms seem the same as there's . So yesterday I decided to look at the chinese calendar again and once again 2 different web sites both say Im supposed to be having a boy.
Is that weird? Has anyone else ever had this problem? Has the Chinese gender calendar lied to you?
Oh and I had my first ultra sound at 14 weeks and again at 20. They both said it was a girl.

I have for the past 2 years suffered from Eczema following an operation, I have attended the Dermatology Clinic tried various steroid creams also,Elidel cream, had a patch test, all unsuccessful. Three weeks ago by chance I went for a Chinese massage while staying with a friend in Haydock Merseyside, the doctor is in St Helens, however during my massage he asked about my Eczema, he suggested I had some cupping done not the one I had once before, he applied the glass cup and pulled it down my back, it was painfully, he suggested cream which I bought, I am three weeks free from Eczema as befor I didn't have one single day away from some part of my skin being itchy and breaking out and one place in particular used to blister and weep. I. Have been back to,have the cupping done again and purchased more cream, at the moment I don"t need to apply the cream as I am clear, I can't believe the relief I have, I had never had Eczema before even as a child
Chinese Medicine Put My Chronic Urticaria In Remission!
I took 3 antihistamine pills a day for a year and a half and still had full body hives. My allergist told me to add Pepcid AC to the prescribed antihistamines. Out of desperation, I called a licensed acupuncturist. After 4 weeks of weekly acupuncture and drinking her tea blends, I am down to one claritin a day and only trace hives occasionally. I am working toward weaning off of the Claritin and then the tea completely. Probably follow up with occasional acupuncture and tea. As you can imagine I am elated and wishing to offer my fellow sufferers the suggestion of checking into Chinese Medicine. Best Wishes!
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :: Chinese Medicine Worked For Me
I am 33 and I used to be so energetic, liked to work out 4 to 5 days a week. But last year around February my life changed completely! After trying some over the counter probiotics for stomach issues like constipation my life went downhill. Ended up in the hospital 3 times for palpitations, could NOT sleep, diarrhea, shortness of breath, feeling my body freezing then super hot, feeling like I was going to pass out etc etc you named it! My doctor run ALL kinds of test and no answer. He only gave me antidepressants and high doses of sleeping pills. I cried every night because I knew I wasn't depressed but nobody knew how to help me out. Eventually 3 months passed not sure how I made it but started to feel better. Around October I started to feel so exhausted, light headed, low bp, sleepy and going to sleep at 8pm every night to feel a little better the next day, this was just no life and again here we go to my doctor and more test...and nothing! I am a true believer of Homeopathy/ Herbalist medicine so I decided to try Chinese medicine anyways I had nothing to lose anymore and to my experience the recovery has been AMAZING! It's been a month and I can say that I feel much much better. It is kind of hard to really find the help for CFS. (I never took the anti depressants). Please don't get discouraged seek help and always talk to your doctor before trying anything else. All I can say is that I found an amazing Chinese herbalist that is helping out feel better!

Food Allergy Following Virus
Following a throat bug/allergy in the spring, my throat became irritated by certain foods. I also had a bad cough, which turned out to be hay fever, and settled when treated. I was subsequently IGE tested and was diagnosed allergic to all items tested; tomatoes, onion, sweet pepper, lemon, kiwi & strawberries. Symptoms are an unpleasant tingling/burning mouth which can take 24 hours to settle. Antihistamines do not solve the problem. I have been prescribed Zantac/Ranitidine which I don't think helps. During the week I am very strict with my diet, and the symptoms settle. Then at the weekend if I relax and inadvertently eat a small amount of anything unsuitable, and enjoy a glass of wine, the symptoms return. Has anyone else had this? any advice would be great, thanks.
