Patient discussion about specific treatment.

Q. Are there any specific treatments for acute myeloid leukemia caused by myelofibrosis? My husband was diagnosed with these conditions. His oncologist believes his AML was caused by his myelofibrosis. (scarring of the bone marrow) This was shown on his bone marrow biopsy. Myelofibrosis is a myeloproliferative disorder. Meaning certain blood components, such as WBCs, RBCs, platelets increase significantly in the marrow.

A. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I'll see about inquiring his oncologists.

Q. I started with acupuncture, but not sure of the treatment. If so, is there any specific method? Hi, I am Rohan 24 years old. For the past one year, I am suffering from tremors. I consult my physician and he prescribed some meds, I tried it but I didn’t get any result. I was scared. Just I started with acupuncture, but not sure of the treatment. If so, is there any specific method?

A. Hello Rohan,tremors are treatable; it is not an incurable disease. So don’t be scared. Tremors are often looked at as internal wind or blood deficiency. Either you will eliminate the wind or building your blood. There are different acupuncture -points and herbs that will help. I would suggest that you do acupuncture and herbal medicine to improve the ability to heal. And I don’t have any other idea about this.
