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

Patient who was diagnosed of 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 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 over tired 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.
