50 yr old female patient came due to pain in her hands for 1 month. most of her hand joints are swollen and deviated.
Patient is thin female and has a history of chronic slow digestion issues-gas and bloating in her stomach. she always has cold hands and feet and according to her pain in her both hands gets worse when the weather gets cold and damp.
acupuncture was used right after a physical therapy treatment.
ST 44- St 41 +
immediately patient felt the improvement. this type of pain normally requires about 8 sessions until the pain is gone.

discoid LUPUS
45 yr old female patient came to my clinic due to discoid lupus for yrs.
She says she is under a lot of stress and it (scarring on her face) worsens before menstruation. Her face is red and about 60% of her face is affected by lupus. Patient also has ingestion-gas and bloating in her stomach without constipation.
other signs and symptoms: good appetite, slightly heavy, swollen eye lids (lower is worse)
occasional SOB and asthma like chest congestion.
tx: acupuncture and massage therapy using Liver and lung meridian (LV 1 and LU 8)
after 2 treatments there was a noticable change (about 10% improvement)
since the progress was relatively slow, yi bae acupuncture point was added bilaterally. (normally this point is bled. only 2-3 drops of blood)
then the following week there was about 30% improvement.
