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.
