Friend goes numb after tetanus & DPT shot
Hi Dr., A dear friend of mine who was told she had MS when she was in her 20's, and is now 40 recently fell and had to get 6 stitches in her hand and got these 2 shots. A few days after that she said she raised up both her knees and felt like a bolt of lighting shot up through her body. She started having numbness, a few days she could still walk but after some more days passed she can not walk. She feels some burning sensation in her chest, numbness in arms and says now about 1 week after the incident she feels mostly numb from neck down. She is having a hard time sleeping and is needless to say very worried. She has had numbness spells off and on in her life but nothing like this. She did take some strong drugs for MS for some years but about 8 years ago stopped taking all drugs, started eating organic foods, leaving out wheat, dairy, beef and some other things and for many years felt pretty good. But she has alot of muscular aches and pains. She gets chiropractic adjustments but they just don't take and stay. I am a massage therapist and have worked on her now and then and it is like her chest is frozen, very hard, stiff, with some ribs jutting out. She took a hard fall playing ball one day about 7 - 8 years ago and she slammed into a really big guy and was thrown up in the air and landed on her tailbone. She has very little flexibility and finds things like yoga painful. She walks or hikes daily with her very big dog. Knowing her as a friend I have picked up on what she says and know she feels a need to be perfect, struggles with the stress of all that. She was a teacher for awhile and was a good one, kids loved her, etc. but the stress of it all was too much for her. She felt overwhelmed by all that was required and that she couldn't do enough for these kids. She feels guilty about spending money on chiropractor and massage since she doesn't work and says she doesn't know why she feels guilty. Her and her husband have difficulty in talking and being honest with each other. She would tell me when we did certain things like go to an energy workshop, I could never tell my husband about this he would think it is crazy. She has a very hard time talking to him. She wanted to have a baby very badly but had a couple of miscarriages. She had alot of fear about having a baby, would it be healthy, how to manage the different viewpoints of raising the child and deciding to vaccinate or not and she doesn't want to and her husband does. She said she was overcome with all these fears. She was very sick as a child she says. Her appendix ruptured when she was young. From what I was told her Mom worked at a doctor's office for awhile and would bring home antibotics regularly. Her father was an alchoholic and her Mom also had alot of health issues and still does today, similar stuff, lots of aches and pains. Okay, please ask any questions. I really want to visit my friend soon and would love to be able to start her on some remedy but I don't have access to anything in the 200c except the things I have on hand such as the Calc carb and silicea. So not sure if anything 12c or 30c would be useful in the meantime until I can order her some remedies.Thanks Much!

Hi, Thanks again for the quick response. I took the remedies to my friend yesterday and she is going to take as recommended. I just wanted to share with you some things she told me and I noticied. She is very, very sensitive, can barely be touched by others or if a blanket is moved over her and not done in one big swoop she says she gets a jolt. I barely touched her feet and it was too much for her. After being there awhile she asked for me to massage her non-stitched hand and I barely touched/rubbed it and it was too painful. She can eat with her right hand but can do much more than that.
She has a couple of things she normally takes and I suggested she hold off on them until I discussed with you your thoughts on if she should take these items or not. 1) Boswellia (something her chiropractor recommended for anti-inflammatory properties and it contains turmeric, celery seed, boswellia, ginger and then a few ingredients that make up the capsule and 2) Pregnenolone - something that she was given after she had a miscarriage about 9 months ago, something to do with being a precursor to some hormone thing (not sure of the details of that but something hormone related). Another thing she shared with me was that after she couldn't walk her husband wanted her to get an MRI and she did and was in the machine for about 2 hours, I think. So these things may change nothing but thought I would share them. Is there anything nutritionally that I could make for her that could be helpful? Bone broth, vegetable juices, etc., I don't know if you view the situation at all from a nutritional aspect but thought I would ask.
Thanks again!

After taking medicines for 3 days, if she does'nt get much relief, she should take three doses of Staphysagria 30c at a gap of 4 hours for 2 days. The earlier medication should be stopped during these two days and resumed thereafter.
Bone broth, vegetable juices, etc., I don't know if you view the situation at all from a nutritional aspect but thought I would ask.
Yes. Such dietary supplements should help.

My friend is taking the remedies and isn't feeling as much energetic zapping lately, still getting a little shock by touch and movement. Has more feeling in her calves. Fingers were feeling much better yesterday and was getting some movement in the stitched had yesterday. Today however she said she woke up feeling very stiff and now not so much movement in hand. And is getting a little more movement in the left arm (arm with stitched hand). Right hip has been bothering her alot, the one that has hurt since the baseball fall many years ago. Having hard time sleeping much longer than 4 hours. Last night was very uncomfortable with the hip and her husband was able to get her on her side and she was able to sleep a little more. Main issue is sleep...would love if there is something to help with that. Overall thinks there is improvement and decided not to change up on the remedy. Do you think she should forego the Staphysagria with the above info? Any thing we can do for sleep?
Thanks! She is very grateful for all the help!!!

My friend had hives and itching to happen in her upper back yesterday and a few itchy bumps in between breasts. She is getting more movement in her hand and body. She didn't get the message I left about the Kali phos until this morninig and someone brought over valerium and she took it and slept well. Do you recommend she take Kali Phos and not do the valerium? Her Mom thinks she has shingles and most of her family including her husband are mainstream western medicine so this is hard time for her to stand her ground on not doing western drugs. Any books you can recommend that discuss how homeopathy works, how our bodies act when we suppress things with western drugs, etc? I am going to see her this morning to take remedies and some juice. I told her she is getting more movement and this is all positive things.
Thanks!

Basically the western drugs treatment ie allopathy works as a contrarian treatment. It directly interferes with the physiological and chemical processes in the body and tries to do everything opposite the disease is doing. Homeopathy stimulates vital force. It works at a dynamic plance and vital force effects cure by working at a physiological plane. Therefore there are no side-effects of homeopathy like allopathy. In allopathy those who recieve treatment for diarrhoea generally suffer from constipation after the treatment as the treatment is contrarian. Such things won't happen with homeopathy. Such contrarian treatments are specially not good for old people and small kids. All these concepts are wonderfully explained by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann in his book The Organon of Medicine. It was written some 150-200 years ago but it contains all timeless concepts.
If valerium is working there is no need of kali phos. So these two need not be taken simutaneously. She should take Kali Phos after she finishes valerium.
Regarding her hives and itching more details are required like at what time it is worse, it's color and appearance, whether it is better by warm applications or cold applications etc.

Hi, I visited my friend yesterday and her back is more splotchy versus being hives, I think, They are not red but kind of light brown, mainly on R side of back, mid to upper area. She says the itching is intense and she feels like there is a band, corset type feeling around her chest. I was able to touch her some, even massage her chest and neck, her feet I can touch lightly, but they are still a little sensitive. She says they feel like they were frostbitten and kind of feels achy like they are thawing out. The feet were bothering her a month or two prior to this incident. She is able to sit up, stand up holding my one hand, and walk with just lightly holding on someone's hand. Little harder for her to stand back up from toilet but definitely able to sit up in bed and adjust herself some. *****I just spoke to her and she said her husband said the hives are gone but the itching is still intense.
Thanks!
Thanks!

She may take three doses of Arsenicum Album 30c at a gap of 4 hours on one day (not daily) for her itching. She should not take any other remedy ie rhus and arnica on the day she takes ars alb.

Hello, My friend decided not to do the remedy for the itching, said while it was still happening it was getting less and less. It has been 5 days so wanted to see what might be the next step for her. She is definitely improving, alot more movement and sensation, less of the electric shocks she was feeling at the beginning of all this. I didn't speak to her yesterday but will today. Are there any questions I should ask?
Thanks for the book recommendation....I know I am interested in reading it.

My friend is doing much better. she is walking sometimes without support, wobbly but walking nonetheless. She is able to open her left hand more. She still feels like there is a tight band that kind of goes around her middle area, from ribcage to navel, feels very restricted and tight. She has a scar from her appendix being removed when she was a child...she is having pain around that area, right side of body. She had a large bowel movement this morning and says her Left armpit sticks and her tongue has been coated white for the last couple of days. She didn't take remedies last 2 days because she isn't eating sugar and thought the lactose was creating the itching, white tongue, etc. She is currently on her period. I suggested she resume the remedies for today and tomorrow and then see what you suggest. For the last 5 years or more she has focused alot on her diet, restricting dairy, wheat, sugar, many, many things that she felt made her feel worse so her first thought is these lactose tablets are contributing to my issues.
Please advise! Thanks!

She may take three doses of Staphysagria 30c at a gap of 4 hours for 1 or 2 days and see whether it helps her pain due to appendix removal.
She may follow it up with 2 pellets each of the following tissue salts for few days.
silicea 6x
calc fluorica 6x
Nothing very specific can be suggested for her current problems like white coated tongue etc. Three doses of Bryonia 30c for 1 or 2 days may be taken. This may be followed up with 2 pellets each of the following tissue salts for few days.
kali mur 6x
kali phos 6x
The above treatments should be taken separately and should not be mixed.

So should she stop with the rhux and arnica? just want to clarify: She should do the Staphysagria 30c for 1 - 2 days and do no other remedies during those 2 days?
Then do the 2 tissue salts and only do those for a few days?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just wanted to give you an update with my friend. She is now walking on her own, climbing stairs, etc. Not able to wash her hair because of the left hand and left arm restriction. She says she feels a little unable on left side. Also when she moves her head forward she says she can feel it down in her pelvic area..a pulling, restriction type feeling.
She never took any of the other remedies just the rhus tox and arnica. She hasn't taken them since this past Wed. since she had seen so much improvement and wanted to see how it goes without it.
I suggested she write in to this site and get recommendations based on her personalty and go from there. Any other advice or recommendations you would suggest at this point?
Thanks again for your help! We feel very blessed to have this forum and the people here extending their knowledge and support!!!
