Worry, fear, very low pulse rate, tiredness, cannot tolerate spicy food, feels chilly even in slightly cool weather- Help for my mother doctor Sameer Page 8 of 9

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Sameer Sir,
After the 2nd dose (Nitr. Acid LM3) my mother appeared to be asking everybody to repeat their statements or questions. She said that her hearing was getting poorer so others were supposed to be louder and clearer. But I felt that while her deafness of left ear has always been a problem, she seemed to have lost a bit of alertness (added with tiredness).

Hence after any comment to her, she was asking to repeat as if she didn't hear it well but she was also appearing to be tired + non-alert.

I know it is just two days but I feel that Nitr. Acid is not going to help her. Instead of cooling her down and making her happy, Nitr. Acid has only excited her and is maintaining her in that state.

I will report after another 2-3 days. But Sameer Sir, we need to change things.

When I asked for feedback, my mother said that sometimes the body aches and especially after she wets her hair and takes bath. The 'sardee' (cold) gets 'trapped' in the neck region and head region, etc.
When I asked 'How do you feel mentally', she said 'Theek' ('ok').

Sameer Sir, she mentions of the same old (physical) complaints. Mentally, she gets excited and if I may say, 'aggravated' after Nitr. Acid dose. Thereafter there is no appreciable or observable mental improvement.

Kindly advise.

Okay, just leave things as they are for 1 week, and then report back.

I faced what I faced, and it really needs investigation but still, my mother needs more urgent help.
Today there was a planned repair work. My mother has got very very furious in the past during repairs from one day to several days.
Even after giving her full idea and full confidence that we will see to it that the work gets completed and we will clean the house, my mother got high;y disturbed from morning.

1. First reason was that she went to a kitty party where she says she ate a lot. So, yesterday evening she felt 'full' for several hours.
So, she says she was sleepless till around 2-3 am. She ate 2 Gelusil and 1 Zinetac. (My father says must have completed some sleep from 7 to 10 pm. but still no doubt there was a problem of sleep.)
In morning she woke up excited and with complaint. (Very much Nux.)

2. Then she kept complaining and worrying. First she felt what would I (her son) do if the repair men didn't turn up? My holiday would be a waste....Then she was highly anxious, worried about the trouble due to work, completion of work as described initially by me. Then there was the worry of several guests who would come tomorrow for weekend. (Genuine partly...)
Then this worry and that and complaint and complaint and talking on and on. She remained excited from 6 am to about 12 noon and was almost continuously talknig, talking of worries, complaints about all other family members but always adding that 'all you other people just complaint about me but never say good of me...'
Finally she wept and cried to our shock even as 2 persons were doing repair work in another room.
Through the afternoon she remained annoyed, indignant, upset. In evening she again picked up as the work was winding up and she was concerned of the completion/post-cleaning.
Oh! I can't describe enough how terrible she was.
She took Crocin through the day adding that she hadn't been feeling well since yesterday evening...

3. She was very very tired/exhausted. At 9 pm as usual she was asleep but snoring today.

4. And today only she planned to keep her hair wet for 2 hours (by hair-dye) and then take bath by wetting hair since guests come tomorrow and she felt she can't have the energy to face this sickness due to hair-wetting tomorrow and have guests too.

My father and me can bet she was physically and mentally very unwell today. (But she doesn't go to any doctor, hence the forum is most preferred.)

Sameer Sir, please prescribe a remedy for my mother immediately if possible.
Just due to mother I have written so much even though I too am very tired.
 
arb_all last decade
Please give her 3 doses of Thuja 30c, and report after 10 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Her excitement was reduced after Thuja dose on 22/4/11 night. For first 4-5 days she calmed down by 25-30%. Another reason was that 2 rounds of guests are successfully over in 2 weeks.

Now she again shows an upset face when we reach home in evening. She wants to point out how she fought out the problems. Esp. we have water problem in our area. Partly she is correct in poining out her genuine efforts. But 25%.

75% I think that she gets very tired since the household works and her grand daughter's care taking (whatever little bit) puts mental responsibilities on her as well as physical work. To add to that we are now going to have lots of guests next week and she will surely be apprehensive and anxious.

Sameer Sir, what next?
 
arb_all last decade
Too soon to intervene, please wait for another week.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer,
I already felt it wasn't too soon to intervene but my mother needed help.
Anyway earlier we were busy with preparations for guests and then extremely busy with guests till today.

The guests left and today evening my mother suddenly had severe indigestion.

First loose motions and vomiting.
Then on giving (camphor based) 'Amritdhara' again loose motions, 'involuntary'. She could not control and her clothes were spoilt...Again vomiting.
Then my father consulted doctor who prescribed Norflox-TZ, Zinetac and Sporolac.
My father gave her Zinetac and Sporolac. Then when I brought and gave Norflox-TZ, she vomitted clay coloured liquid.... ~300 ml. Mostly water. My mother commented that this may be due to 'bhindi' (lady finger).

She is of course totally exhausted in just 2 hours. She can hardly get up.

Sameer Sir, if you feel a dose of any homeopathic remedy could help her, please suggest VERY URGENTLY. (I will consider giving her Aconite 200 or Ars. 200.)
 
arb_all last decade
Finally what I feared came true. I included 'low pulse rate' in title and I was highly concerned of it.
My mother was admitted with loose motions. ECG revealed problems. Temporary pace-maker has been installed on her heart due to low pulse.
If problem persists (which I hope not), then doctors say that permanent pacemaker should be put in.
(Temp. pacemaker has brought pulse to 78.)
Sameer Sir, why you didn't reply? Can you still help? Any remedy that might help?
 
arb_all last decade
I just saw your post right now.

Let her come back to a bit of stability, then we will see what remedy comes up. No use throwing remedies while she is under allopathic medication and is admitted in a hospital.
 
sameervermani last decade
It is about 10 days since my mother is back from hospital.
She was diagnosed with essential hypertension and low pulse rate was attributed to beta blocker.
She has been on different medicines now since hospitalization.

Present state:
1. Slightly improved pulse rate with allopathic medicines. Frequently above 44 instead of 36 earlier. 48-52 also.
2. Due to Temporary pacemaker, dehydration, hospitalization, she had got very tired and weak for a week.
3. During recovery, as I know very well from my experience, she used to weep occasionally, a bit of usual mumbling, complaining in morning, some irritability.
4. The main thing is that, 'as I expected', with more recovery, she is more irritable now. This is very typical of a recovering person but still needs a homeopathic remedy. It doesn't exactly die off on its own.
5. During these days occasional complaint of body ache and feverishness.
6. Her Hb had come out to be high, 14.1. I am not very pleased however.

Dear Sameer Sir,
I am sure my mother now needs homeopathic remedy. Can you suggest next step?
[It is not possible to immediately stop her present allopathic medicines.]

I wish to add that my mother is feeling tension of getting back into normal routine. She says, she doesn't want to do much, doesn't expect much from others and just 'wants to die early'....'Can't take/bear too much (load) anymore...' sort of...

Sameer Sir,
Kindly comment.
 
arb_all last decade
Dear Sameer ji,
Please make comments here too. The latest is that my mother said today morning (Fri. 27th) that she has got very frightened after the hospitalisation. My father and myself have been trying to convince her that there is nothing wrong with her health and heart and that she should do everytihng within her stamina without constraints. But she is not too convinced. She is also getting highly worried of first appointment of doctor after hospitalization anticipating that more treatment, investigations will be suggested.

Please advise.
 
arb_all last decade
We can go back to Arsenicum Album, whichever LM potency you were last giving her.

8 hits, 2 drops in 250 ml spring water, and 1 teaspoon.

Give a daily dose of 3 days and then report back.
 
sameervermani last decade
On Sat. Sun. Mon. (till 30 May) I gave my mother three doses of Ars. Alb. LM2. She seemed okay. We also went to doc (before 3rd dose) after her hospitalization. He found her to be okay and has cut-down many medicines. Two are running - one for cholestrol, one for hypertension and very low doses.
While this seems nice, my mother got very disturbed today because her granddaughter (my daught.) got very ill with fever/vomit and she has been hospitalized. It is always feels very bad to hospitalize 8 yr. old and put on IV.

Before starting the doses, she once or twice got disturbed and cried with rather loud sounds and expressed that she didn't want to live. While crying her words would get garbled later. After 2 doses it was slightly okay. But she has continued to complain for 1 hour after getting up in morning. As soon as we all join for tea milk, she has already started discussing, worrying, complaining, comparing with old days. She keeps talking for about an hour or 90 mins. This had already been there with her. And it is continued.

Latest problem is how she reacts to my daughter's health. Doctor measured her pulse to be 56 and BP 130/80.

It appears that we should stick to Ars. Alb. for more time.

Please advise next step soon.
 
arb_all last decade
Continue dosing for 2 more doses, same manner.
 
sameervermani last decade
I gave 2 doses 3-4 days ago. Now what?
After granddaughter returned home but with fever still, my mother is worried.

Latest symptoms:
1. As soon as she gets up, she starts talking of all sorts of problems, of her worries, cries occasionally, of old days, compares good old days with recent years when our family has lost heath on all fronts. It is very specific. We all know she does that and even she realizes, but she says she wants to talk it out with others (and needs assurance but whatever assurance and whatever way we give, she doesn't come back to normal easily). It picks up gradually in morning from 7 am to 8:15 am till two of us go to office. If there is a special worry, she starts crying.

2. She gets a sudden attack of worry and then she cries and weeps a lot. She starts saying that she is fed up (with this fearful life and all sorts of health problems, the management and responsibilities) so she just wants God to end her life. As example, yesterday she got worried of about a test to be done for gr. daught. Already she is worried of the fever. But further more of the coming (blood) test. Though it is not crucial, she is very highly worried.

3. Actually she is always very highly or extremely worried of all sorts of medical investigations. At times it has become very difficult to control her in the pst years.

Sameer Sir, I perhaps have Ars. Alb. LM3. Should we start? I feel that after several rather useful doses of LM2, it is now not helping and her state needs higher potency. Though I will give LM3 if you say, but I feel that she needs LM5 at least. Should I procure?
 
arb_all last decade
Please give her 1 dose of Medorrhinum 200c, and report after 1 week.

Also, procure Arsenicum LM3.
[message edited by sameervermani on Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:01:16 BST]
 
sameervermani last decade
I had given Medorrhinum 200c to my mother one week ago perhaps on 12th June.
In between she was okay. Had some sleeping problems. Once she was sleepless at night so next evening and night she slept a lot.
I thought I had Ars. LM3 at home but it wasn't. So I have ordered. It is likely to take several days.

One main reason to post here is my mother's latest complaint:
1. She says that 'Gases get trapped in waist region and it aches. It aches on eating even slightly heavy thing.' She asks medicine to me for this. Keeps asking if she should take Gelusil or Pantodac. I have said 'yes' but she actually doesn't take. She says that if she feels heavy after eating, she has that pain in lower abdomen and waist. She uses the word 'kamar'. Her complaint is very specific.
My mother is very cautious and conscious of eating since her hospitalization. She still doesn't eat much as earlier but more conscious now. Even after our repeated requests she avoids green leafy vegetables, ice cream and many such things she is feels may cause infection and she is afraid of.

Please note that she made this specific complaint first time when she got admitted to hospital. Then throughout she kept complaining to the doctor there. On follow up, when BP, pulse was okay, she made only this complaint to the doctor and asked for medicine.

2. I still see this trait that she cannot tolerate slightest opposition.

3. Her pulse rate is not too good and that is one reason that I started the case on forum. Somewhere from 40 to 50.

4. After Medorrhinum I have not seen anxiety attack but perhaps there was no external stimulus. She hasn't shown the trait of complaints in morning and old things and all. Just okay. Nothing very great or positive.

5. She hasn't improved particularly on energy level. If we look at the title I gave to the case, it is still appropriate and perhaps she has improved in chilliness a bit, maybe 10% in 'worry/fear', but then not really in 'pulse', 'tiredness', 'spicy food'.

6. Her left ear is still deaf but her overall hearing has become much poorer in last 5 months. Now she has problem in hearing our (human) sentences also if not spoken very loudly and very clearly. (This is not due to Medorrh. dose but already there.)

Sameer Sir, please advise on 'Kamar mein gases phans jaate hain or dard hota hai, usase raat ko theek se neend nahi aati...' (Specific complaint since last month when she was admitted with diarrhea, vomitting, dehydration, low pulse.)
(Feel like gases trap in waist and it aches and then sleep also gets disturbed....)

Please wait for 10 more days.
 
sameervermani last decade
This is for information.
In last 2-3 days, my mother has complained of toothache. Also, she has again started to sleep early in evening. At that time her pulse rate is quite low as earlier, nearly 40 perhaps or even 36-38. This I have observed in last 1 week. She feels too tired/sleepy to get up and even watch TV. Then she becomes awake between 3am to 4am and says that she then passes time by reading magazines.
In any case, pulse rate is quite low.
 
arb_all last decade
So, no medicines have reached me. In the mean time, guests had the effect of making my mother quite tired. They were close relatives, so it was necessary to entertain them, keep them engaged even as another person is ill.
2 days before they went, she was so excited. She again did all old things. Complaining loudly so much so that we feared the guests must have heard it. She would raise hands and start complaining.
Once she starts complaining, she goes on and on until I say something strong (pseudo dominance) to stop her.

Other times, she shows old traits.

What is added is that she says something and vibrance in our house has been quite bad so generally another person in front has other thoughts. Then there is 'upset', displeasure on both sides.
As I had told, her increased deafness causes great irritation to the other person and consequently the comment or loud words create much upset to her.
These days she keeps saying that she doesn't want to live anymore. She asks others not do try to 'force' her (to eat or to be positive or anything) since she won't (be able to) do it and would prefer to be left as she is and die.
She feels tired and fed up.

She is largely back to where she was. The only improvement is that she feels less chilly and may even ask us to put ON fan.
 
arb_all last decade
Hmm.. raise the potency to 1M of Medorrhinum and report after 15 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer Sir,
I have Ars. Alb. LM3 now. I did not give Medorrhinum 1M to my mother.
Please advise. Should I still give Med 1M or should we start Ars.?

Her recent problem has been regular and troublesome neck pain for which somebody applies Volini ointment everyday.
Her hearing has got a little more worse. Now she finds it more difficult to decipher sentences if they are even slightly less loud.....most times.

Med 1M please.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer Sir.
I gave Medorrhinum 1M to mother on 25th or so. It is 2 weeks.
I asked her yesterday how she felt. She said that she was relatively okay. The aching, 'sardee' (cold) and all was less. Neck pain was less.
I observe her energy level to be a little better. She still sleeps and just lies down in evenings but one can see that she has been better.
I make a request to you that we should wait for just the necessary minimum duration because I know how people of our family with low vitality relapse quickly.

From last Thu to Sat I requested her to take Pantopraz straight away since she was to go for 'religious' meals and other meals and she was already very concerned with indigestion. In fact she was already having some 'gases' as she said and felt that she was having indigestion. Later the concern increased since she was to eat outside.

I have Ars. Alb. LM3. What should I procure beforehand so that the medicine arrives in 10-12 days?
