lupus #2

[Guest guest]

Hmm, I sent a message about this earlier, have not seen it show up on digest?

 

Im very interested in anyone's perspective on treating a patient with

western dx lupus. Sionneau maintain that this will never show up as cold damp,

for

instance, but I am seeing a patient who does not sweat, whose tongue

covering is white, who expresses feeling cold internally and who is not warm to

the

touch..is this yet another case of never is never? Also, this patient is

quite debilitated, yet shows up with many patterns when all the signs and sx

are

parsed out : some kidney jing issues, spleen qi deficiency, some liver

depression & liver blood def. all underlying the cold damp in channels (if Ive

got

it right) My tendency would be to treat with few needles, uncovering layers;

as abeginning practitioner its also hard to be patient, id love to offer

relief for sx (mostly , hand/foot joint ache & severe fatigue) ANd deal with

the

root/constituion too.

 

So -Id really welcome any insight/perspective/experience!

 

Thank you very much.

Anna
