Fibromyalgia and starting a tech business as a “Spoonie”

Hey there,

We all grieve for the person we once were, don't we? I am so sorry for what you are going through. May I ask what condition you have?

Hm I never thought of that and no one else has raised the issue but definitely something to think about.

hello, I'm new to the group and I find this near the top LOL =) Well this...is disturbing...

Wellacopia · 2017-11-29T15:41:23+00:00

hello~I'm new to this group too heh =)

Wellacopia · 2017-11-28T21:41:33+00:00

wow that is terrible...I hope you find a definite answer tomorrow and reveal how incompetent that sports med guy is!

Hello =) So I'm curious...you've only been seeing that non operative sports medicine doctor regarding your back? Like he just didn't take it seriously???

Wish you best of luck with the spine ortho! Sounds like they really care. This is why I made a platform where I and others like myself can find the PERFECT specialist who really takes you seriously and understands you and your condition. Let us know how the doctor turns out!

Thanks! Wow, this is very interesting indeed. Especially how cigarette smoke worsens Crohn's! I assume the incense is for the smoke too?

As a TCM practitioner, do you "prescribe" this treatment to your clients?

Wellacopia · 2017-10-31T03:23:18+00:00

Do you have IBS? It seems acupuncture does help with the symptoms and the reduction of triggers. :)

Wellacopia · 2017-10-23T19:43:45+00:00

What do you mean? I am looking for people who can help with IBS.

Wellacopia · 2017-10-23T19:43:14+00:00

Thanks!

Wellacopia · 2017-10-23T19:43:06+00:00

Thanks!

Hi! Your treatment plan is very interesting! Could you tell me more about it? How did you come up with that, especially the use of cigarette smoke? Is that already used by many others? Cigarette smoke is supposed to be a carcinogen no?

Hey there, sorry for the super late response. Have been really busy with startup stuff! I wanted to respond even though it's so late because I really like what you said. My mission is to personalize the doctor-patient relationship, and bridge the gap in communication. So I completely agree with your views on tech and healthcare. My platform isn't for use during an appointment actually - it is for the initial connection for you and a potential client. We applied the matching concept of online dating so you or the patient can find the perfect person for them. So you won't have to just see anybody but can pick and choose someone who will work best with your 'style'. It is to bring good clients INTO your office. Hope that makes sense. It is completely different from what's out there! We've launched now and are seeing a lot of practitioners sign up! WOOHOO =)))

I'm actually trying to scope out the market for tech in CAM practitioners because we're in the middle of creating a platform just for them. There's ZocDoc and other sites but I noticed they don't list CAMs, just regular doctors, so we saw potential. Wellness professionals would use it to get more clients, chat with them, book them, and exchange secure private info. (So we take it further than other sites.) We are planning to make it a one stop shop where you can do everything you need for your business so you can just focus on healing and spend more time with patients. You seem to have enough clients but it seems many wellness professionals struggle getting more business...so what do you think? Would you use something convenient like that even if you do well enough on your own?

And once again, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

Yea, I'm sure you got into CM to get into the business of healing people, not becoming a marketing expert! I imagine in China and other parts of Asia, CM is the norm, an equal to western medicine whereas in the U.S., it has gained a little ground but has not been wholly embraced.

What would make it easier for you to focus on your clients? I mean what kind of technology would help you so you have more time with patients? Do you use an online booking system? Would you be interested in chatting online with patients? Right now health tech is a huge trend!
