MS

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has advice for treating MS? I have been

treating an MS patient for several months now, and the results are all

over the place. I cannot make rhyme or reason as to why sometimes she

gets amazing results after a treatment and other times not.

 

She also has bipolor disorder and takes medications for that along

with medications for MS. She is overweight, has some dampheat. At

one point I treated her dampheat nightsweats and although the

nightsweats greatly improved she missed a period--possibly because the

damp draining points brought up yin deficiency.

 

Her main complaint is extreme fatigue and depression. Her pulses are

very weak and her tongue has a bit of a dirty coating which is thicker

in the back (sometimes just a bit, sometimes a lot), central crack,

red blood veins underneath tongue. Here are the types of points that

I have generally done on her:

 

right GB 41/left SJ 5; St 36; LI 10; Sp 3; UB 23; UB 20; Du 20; Du 16,

Du 3 to go to legs. When dampheat gets worse I add K 10 or Sp

9--dampheat shows up as dark urine and nightsweats on the head. I

haven't focused on things like scalp points for motor areas because

that has not been her main concern.

 

I use very sallow needling, just tapping the needles in. Sometimes

she gets a real boost of energy from tx, sometimes not. Lately

nothing has been working. She recently added Lythium to her

medications because she was so depressed, and from what I can see its

just made her more tired, but who knows.

 

I've tried to talk to her about the Swank diet and eating a scrictly

organic diet without food additives, but she still eats a fair amount

of sugary food and her doctor told her there is no evidence that the

Swank diet works.

 

Any thoughts? She's a really neat person (although a bit frustrating

as a patient!) and I'd really like to help her.
