Chapter 3, Baihe disease, Huhuo disease, Yindu diseae and Yangdu

论曰：百合病者，百脉一宗，悉致其病也。意欲食复不能食，常默默然，欲卧，不能卧，欲行，不能行，欲饮食，或有美时，或有不用闻食臭时，如寒无寒，如热无热，口苦，小便赤，诸药不能治，得药，则剧吐利，如有神灵者，身形如和，其脉微数。每溺时头痛者，六十日乃愈；若溺时头不痛者，淅然者，四十日愈；若溺快然，但头眩者，二十日愈。其证或未病而预见，或病四、五日而出，或病二十日或一月微见者，各随证治之。

After getting up, start to feel willing to lie dwon again. He has willing to walk, but after walk for several munites he feels willing to stop. Some times, he feel very hungry and can enjoy the food, but sometimes has no appectite or interest to the food. He seems feeling cold but not really want to warm, or feels warm but do not want to take off the clothes. He feels bitter in the mouth, and has red color in urine. No regular herbs seem to work for his condition. He may have very strong vomiting and diarrhea after drinking herbal tea. Someone appears as there is a Spirit (angles/ghost) in his body with slight frequent pulse, but the physical condition no apparent problem.
