Acupuncture for SLE, abnormal creatinine lab result, joint pain, numbness

The patient who was diagnosed with SLE( Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) for 15 years suffering from muscle and joint pain all over the body, with long term medication, the creatinine turned abnormal.

After acupuncture for 5 sessions, her degree of pain and numbness from 10 went down to 5, as well as creatinine from 86 umol/L down to 84 umol/L, then after another 5 sessions, the degree of pain from 5 went down to 0, sometimes goes to 1~2 when overtired or stuck in traffic sitting long time. Mostly in a steady painless situation and the pain never went up above degree 3 since we keep follow up, and the creatinine kept went down to 81umol/L.

For immune systemic diseases, usually take whole life medication, however, the side effects could cause patients to have digestion trouble or abnormal kidney and liver lab results. Through the treatment of TCM, acupuncture, we minimize the side effects and provide patients have better life quality such as less pain, better digestion, good sleep without worries about the injury of kidney and liver function.
