Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hello, all. I'm an acupuncturist in Seattle and have a new patient just diagnosed with MS. Have any of you been successful treating MS, and if yes, I'd appreciate hearing what has worked. The patient is a 39-year-old male with an initial presentation of optic neuritis and numbness in the right side of his tongue and face. No gait or muscle weakness problems. He has general signs of dampness, has been a vegetarian for 10 years, and tends to somatize stress. He and his wife just had a baby (good stress, I think. His tongue has a red body with peeled sides, a significant central crack, scalloped edges and is very wet (clear moisture). His pulses are hidden and very faint. I look forward to hearing from anyone who has experience with this, as the patient is currently very hopeful and confident in TCM (I treated his wife when she was pregnant and induced labor when she went postdates). Thanks, everyone. Ramey Fair, L.Ac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
