”was their any deformities in either patient's hands?”

Yes, Mary had the rheumatic nodules on her fingers when she began the TCM treatment, I believe that was about 10 years prior to this point. She was very consistently going for visits fortnightly and took her herbs consistently. At the time when I wrote these notes, there was no visible nodules or deformities on her hands whereas they had been prior to beginning seeing the TCM practitioner.

I should add that Sarah also was receiving TCM treatment from the same practitioner, although was not as consistent in her visits or taking prescribed medicine.

Mary was certainly being looked after by her GP, but was nowhere near as bad requiring a specialist rheumatologist.

The other difference was that I believe Mary was exercising more than Sarah, which is amazing in itself!!!
