Asthmatic, joint and skin problems

Please recommend me some medicines, specially with skin conditions.

Desires:
1. Salty food, sprinkle some salt also to food
2. Sweet, specially with sugar concentrate or or sprinkled
3. Likes warm drinks,
- specially Tea with milk and sugar
- Warm food

Aggravation:
1. Respiration, becomes asthmatic in room centrally heated

Feels better:
2. Humid condition or rainy condition

Symptoms:
1. Asthmatic
- Towards mid night, anxiety related to breathing starts around 10-11 in night, max 12:00am to 1:00am
- Aggravation by central heat (air blow) of room, in day time also
- Avoids going to bed for fear of as long as asthmatic anxiety persists, usually by 1:00am to 4:00am symptoms reduces
- Can only sleep face down on abdomen pressing chest on pillow
- Started one year ago, also caused diminishing of sex desires

2. Pain in right side of back of neck, right lower jaw and between right side of spine and scapula
- Crackling in right side of back of neck while turning head
- Crackling in right side of sternum while bending towards back
- Crackling between right side of spine and spacula while stooping forward
- Continuous
- Some bone spurs are seen in neck
- Perhaps right lower jaw is neuralgic

3. Skin condition
- Psoriasis in right thumb knuckle
- Blisters on right heel
- Cracks and peeling off of right heel
- Tettery eruptions and excoriation between tows of right foot

4. Misc
- Crackling of thumbs
- Tendency to put weight


Recent helpful medicines (symptom reduction)
1. Arsenic 30 (helps in going to bed). 6/200 causes pain in apex of right chest, more expectoration and does not help.
2. Kali Phos 4x/6x/30 causes reduction in anxiety, regularly using it
3. Carbo Veg 6x/30 helps is asthmatic symptoms
4. Kali Sulph 6x - perhaps helps little bit

It seems that, I need either Arsenic or Carbo Veg Kali Phos almost daily. Can be for few days without them.


Recent aggravations
1. Rhus Tox 200 caused aggravation. did not help
2. Sulph 6/30/200 helps in skin, aggravates neck pain and crackling - both disappear after some time

I had long discussion with a Homeopathic Doctor practicing for last 20 years. He concluded on Medorrhinum, which I'll start in two-three weeks. I have used Medorrhinum earlier for hand/feet burning with success. So this prescription is not based on suppression but based on symptoms.

Thanks and regards

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Adding some more information:

I don't suspect any suppression. Because I have been treated by various homeopathic doctors for about 8-10 years. Except Bacilinum and Carcinosinum, I have been perhaps given all nosodes. Similarly, I might have received almost all anti-syphilitics, anti-psychotics and anti-psorics medicines.

I have color blindness, which is a genetic disorder affecting 8% of male population. This genetic disorder might alter disease or medicine symptoms. So please allow some variations.

Also there are so many types of kidney filter/re- absorption disorders are there (in not hundreds, but at least fifties I studied while co-relating my symptoms). I may be leaking more tryptophan like Hartnup disorder. This also might alter disease or medicine symptoms. So please allow some variations.

Thanks

Phosphorus has ability to cure colour blindness.

That is a leading symptom for you.

You must have tried Phosphorus...was there any improvement ??

Dear Pankaj,

No, I did not feel difference. Two years ago, when I was diagnosed with first stage of Fatty Liver, I used Phos 30 and then 200 for two months. I felt slightly better in general health, but no difference in Vision. Since it is a genetic defect, it can't be cured. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness. There is some recent development in this area, by implementing color sensing genes in monkeys. With humans, it may be possible in as early as in 20 years.

Similarly Hartnup Disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartnup_disease) is genetic disease. It can't be cured. It creates under oxidation conditions, vitamin B3 deficiency, etc. Perhaps because of this under oxidation condition, Carbo Veg and Kali Sulph are helping me. Usually eating double amount of protein supposed to help in this condition and seems to help me.

Also I suspect to have Cystinuria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystinuria). This causes recurring kidney stones, which I manage kidney stone by taking R27 and drinking a lot beer during pain. The moment, these sand particles give pain, I flush them. First time, in 1992, couple of stones were flushed in Canada with medical assistance.

It would be great help, if you could let me know any medicine, which can help with Psoriasis of Knuckle of right thumb, blisters of right heel and peeling of skin in right heel.

In knuckle, I get little help from Sulph 6, 30, 200 but then I can't bear pain of neck. In heel, I feel little better by Lyco 6, 30. But they are temporary. I don't use high of them because they are already tried earlier in 10M and CM potencies.

Borax seems to be helping much in 'Tettery eruptions and excoriation between tows of right foot' almost 90%, but it does not complete cure, so it relapses.

Although I don't have hydrogenoid constitution, I am being helped by half of hydrogenoid medicines.

Recently I started feeling that I am much closer to 'Carbonic Constitution' and should use low potencies from that list.

Thanks and regards

Dear Dhundhun,

I sympathize with your situation.

With regard to itching...I have noticed where some relevant meds have failed to give results..Zinc Met . works.

Nash says: Zinc Met. is of same importance to nerves as Iron is to blood.

Your problems are nerve related.

Maybe, you can try a few doses of Zinc Met.

Zinc Met. is more suited where the individual cannot take without aggravation even a drop of wine or whisky etc.

If I come across something else of benefit to you...will surely come back with appropriate info.

Other than homeopathy:

Forever living products, a company with distribution of products in over 125 countries has a herbal concoction called 'Forever Vision'. That has helped many people...though not aware if it covers colour blindness. You can get in touch with the company through their website and ask them if it can benefit you.

Best wishes

with Zinc. Met. ...pl. don't use Nux Vomica and Chamomilla as these meds are inimical.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Also ...seek guidance from Dr. Deoshlok Sharma...he is very experienced and has resolved many difficult cases.

some more thoughts :

Causticum...feels better in damp , wet weather.

(.....the modalities lead to the right choice of med).
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Dear Dhundhun,
I have gone back to my books to have a better understanding of your case.

Since you are yourself well informed about homeopathy...I will share my thoughts with regard to the possibilities that are getting thrown up.

Causticum ...has rheumatic, arthritic and paralytic affections. (Like your pains...shoulder, jaw etc)

Causticum :Paralysis of ocular (eye) muscle. Vision problems surely result from this.

Causticum has a number of eye symptoms. (see materia medica)

Causticum...has urinary problems...frequent urination and many more (see materia medica)

Causticum ...has itching on the dorsum of the feet. (dorsum = back / lower surface of the feet).

Mind symptom of Causticum ....a golden symptom: Has sympathy for the suffering and misery of fellow human beings.

Causticum : has warts on face
(check?)

Causticum : has respiratory problems.

Causticum: has long standing grief due to his / her situation.

Kindly slot this into your analysis.

Best wishes

Causticum: skin has burning, rawness and soreness.

Modality...I have already pointed out is leading to the choice of Causticum.

Kindly slot this information into your analysis.

Aggravation at night ...again Causticum. (Restless at night ..with tearing pains in joints and bones...see materia medica).
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
The two long posts appear to be the same.

However, the latter one has more analytical information so read that. (The last three lines are not there in the first one).
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Causticum ..has cough with scanty, difficult expectoration and aggravation in warm room.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Dear Pankaj,

Thanks for giving me time to analyze my case. I got some valuable inputs from you.

Zinc Met: I did not relate with itching, otherwise, last month, I could have given last month Zincum 2-3 weeks time. I had boring/burning pain in left heel due to progressing bone spur. This was with restless of feet and also tightness of Achilles tendon. I took Zincum 30 for three days only - it gave enough relief. Now again it is showing up. Next time, when, I start on Zincum again, I'll give enough time to see effect on skin. This could be very good prescription.

Causticum: This is mysterious. Symptoms come closer, so it was tried earlier (at least twice in my knowledge, approx. 20 and 30 years ago). It made joints very stiff and painful - without any subsequent improvement. Recently, I am becoming dependent on Kali, in tissue salt form specially Sulph, Phos and to some extent Mur. I think, I should use this Kali (Causticum) once more.

In few weeks, I'll try them and update case to discuss further.

Thanks again and best regards
