A 57-year-old female who has Sjögren‘s syndrome combined with Systemic lupus erythematosus, and also has the complication of Antiphospholipid syndrome and Interstitial lung disease. Her initial symptoms included dry eyes, dry mouth, chronic cough and dyspnea on exertion. The first time she came to Taipei Veterans General Hospital was on June 14th, 2019 for Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy, and her chief complaint was numbness with tingling sensation through the whole body. The symptom could exacerbate by anxiety, high temperature, or defecation, the numbness started from tongue and then spread through the whole body, which has lasted for over 8 years. TCM pattern diagnoses include“Liver and kidney yin deficiency”,“Body fluid impairment by fire and heat”, and“Wind-dampness blocking collateral with stasis”, and the following treatments are“Nourishing yin and moistening dryness”,“Clearing heat and resolving toxin”, and“Promoting blood and resolving stasis”. After following up for 6 times, the symptoms of which numbness and tingling sensation relieved profoundly, and symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth were also relieved. This case report shows that TCM therapy not only could relieve the complicated symptoms of Sjögren‘s syndrome combined with Systemic lupus erythematosus, and it could also provide another new concept for integrated TCM and Western medicine therapy.
