facial paralysis for 1 yr

50 yr old female patient came to my office due to left facial paralysis for 1 yr. she is thin and around that time she was tired from overworking at job. and had a big argument with her family member on the phone the night before she had this facial paralysis.

s.s stressed anxious dizziness (standing from sitting position) cold hands and feet sweaty hands and feet + arm pit hate cold weather but loves summer no thirst

no palpitation. urination is fine no bowel problems.

blurry vision

stiffness in neck

on the first day she got this facial paralysis she had so much pain in her eyes in additon to vertex headache. + sensitive to sound and light

abdomen pain when palpated around navel and low jiao.

tx. lv 1 + kd 10 -

facial paralysis improved about 30% and abdomen pain disappeared completely

so far she came three times. each time she comes in she received Lv 1+ KD 10 - HT 3-

pain in abdomen improved about 30% or so. however, the paralysis is just a slightly better.

Tx: (added) bleeding the interior wall of mouth (same side)

according to four needle txt and dr youngs book st 36 can be used for facial paralysis. I will keep treating her with the same treatment for 4 more visits before making any changes in the acupuncture formula.
