hvp, (scalp problem), hemorrhoid, IBS, help?

Hi Dr. Sharma,

Thank you for your reply, however I am not looking for a cure, just relief. I am mostly looking for relief in regards to my hemorrhoid and HPV as well as all the anxiety I feel due to these symptoms. I do not have the money for any kind of special therapies such as PEMF. I have no health insurance and I am working on limited funds. Will anyone be able to help me further or is relief hopeless the natural way?

(I would also like to note I am female)

Hi Simone,
Thank you so much for your reply! I will look into a naturopath when I am done with my temp work in a week or two. Here is some info:

Patient ID: Holly Sex: Female Age: 21

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
I do not have just one main so I will have to post a few,

1a: Reoccuring yeast infections- This is my main if it comes down to it. They have been reoccuring since late February of 2013. February of 2013 is also when I got tonsilitis for the first time. I believe the yeast infection occurred when I was prescribed an anti-biotic, penicillin, this antibiotic I am allergic to, as it also broke me out in a rash on my torso. (I have taken very few antibiotics in my life and generally do not believe in pharma medicine like pain killers etc.) I think the yeast infection I have now is very mild, it itches a few times at night but then not many other times. The discharge from this is very thick and white, but not like cottage cheese. More just like a white paste. Not liquidy, and there is not a lot of it.

1b: Next worst would be my scalp: I thought I had Psoriasis because my grandfather had it. I had my boyfriend look at the back of my scalp and he says it doesn't look like psoriasis based on google pictures, or excema, so now I am not sure. The problem area is only the back of my scalp near the neck, the problem does not leave the hairline. I first started to have this problem when I was 16 (5 years ago), there was a small bump I picked on the back of my scalp and then I never stopped picking... as time went on I would find new places to pick. The places I picked would leak a clear watery liquid. I pick out of habit (and emotions), however more recently, probably starting almost a year ago the area of my scalp started itching badly. The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is heavily scratch the back of my head, and it itches all day every day. The only thing that helps heal this is Cod Liver Oil taken orally but this does not stop the itching.

1c Hemorrhoid: I remember as a little girl I would wipe front to back, and there would be a very small spot of blood on the paper. I associated this with being maybe dry broken skin near my anus, but now that I am older, I wonder if I maybe I had this problem very early on. I went in for my first pap smear April 2013, the gyno told me it looked like I had a small hemorrhoid. Around maybe Jan 2013 for a week or two every few days my butt hole would become extremely itchy. Visually I could see nothing wrong, I thought maybe I had the type of worms children get, and tried to wait it out. The itching eventually went away completely. I met my boyfriend in March. We did have anal sex and the first time he was very bad about it. He did not use any lube and shoved it in quickly, this really hurt me (first time attempting this) and I think from here it is what caused my hemorrhoid to get even worse (since it seemed I had one without knowing) The hemorrhoid just itches. I think maybe it is medium size? No blood, no pain, just very itchy.

1d: Acne: 2 years ago my face started breaking out very, very badly. I think this may be due to hormones, because my jawline is the worst, here i gt cystic deep and big acne, while around my nose and cheeks next to my nose is smaller more normal acne. Having acne has made me stressed, even more self conscious, and hopeless. It has been more emotionally destructive than any of my symptoms.


2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

2a: Post nasal drip- just annoying, Ive had it for several years, the only time I get sick is a sinus infection in the winter.

2b: inflamed tonsils: have been this way since february 2013, had tonsillitis and they never when back to normal. Before this I had very nice, flat tonsils with no bumps of imflamation at all. My left tonsil is larger than the right now also. no pain, just looks bad. I also I get tonsil stones.

2c: abnormal hair growth: I sometimes get a few thick black hairs growing out of my chin. They dont look like eyebrow hairs or scalp hairs I get maybe 1-2 a month which I pluck. I think it has something to do with hormones... started in highschool. So maybe 16? There is also a patch under my belly button that has oddly thick dark hairs.

2d: HVP: Just trying to get through this one... discovered them 3 days ago. Have been with my current boyfriend for 6+months now. Mostly hoping my immune system will take care of it soon.

2e: Back- I have had back problems for a few years. Mostly my mid to lower back will feel sore, my shoulders and neck muscles usually feel tense. I have a hard time relaxing muscles. Many times a day I will have to mentally go through my body and make muscles untense (even ab, stomach, and anus muscles)

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Ughhh this is the worst. Having all these problems makes me feel so broken and useless. It makes me sad and frustrated and hopeless. I end up feeling very, very stressed trying to look for answers. I dont drink soda and I keep a somewhat good and healthy diet so it makes it even more frustrating.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
Sad, hopeless, insecure, anxious, unconfident and invaluable. Stressed. I often feel my partner deserves better because of my problems even though I know we are good for each other, I just feel like I am not good enough no matter how he may reassume me.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
I had a very irratable stomach according to my mother when I was a baby and little girl, I would be very gassy. In high school I usually could not eat breakfast from how bad it would make my stomache hurt, but later in the day it was usually be okay.


6. Which time of the day you are worst?
I feel everything the worst probably 3-5pm or 8-9pm, the morning I dont feel much of anything except the itching.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
Sugar makes things worse. I try to controll it but a few days without sugar becomes pretty hard. itching makes me feel better. Picking makes me feel better,

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
I think things like yeast infection and acne (especially jawline acne) are due to my hormones. Also periods are much lighter.

9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I really dont notice... I think everything is always the same but some problems are too recent to know

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
I am hyper, happy, outgoing and friendly. I love smiling. When it comes to voicing options I am mild and watch what I say, if anything. I am easily agreeable, easily offended but try to not act offended, suspicious of some people but I try to be optimistc. I am very realistic, I assume the worst in case the worst will happen.

1. When was your last pap smear? Is this when you were diagnosed with HPV?
What were you told to do about this?
My last pap smear was late April 2013. This is my first pap smear (they say be 21 years old or 2 sexual partners which is why it was my first pap) It came back completely normal. What I have is definitely the genital warts type of HPV, which I discovered about 4 days ago. After finding the warts, I called the doctors to ask about my pap smear. They said they do not test for HPV on pap smears until you are 30 years+ so while my pap was normal, it is possible I have something. (These are definitely warts, have not been seen by a doctor but it is very clear to me.)

2. Does your current bf have any symptoms such as genital warts?
My boyfriend has no symptoms of hpv (no genital warts) and he never has. So this could be dormant in him? (He does have inflammed tonsils like me though)

( btw you should be using condoms until this virus has cleared)
I read even using condoms is not safe enough, but I believe I did get this hpv from him based on timing.

3. Are you on birth control pills and if so , how long?
( birth control pills should be stopped bc they are another factor increasing the hpv)
I was on birth control for almost a month back in august 2013 I think. I stopped them because I was still getting yeast infections and knew the birth control could be making the yeast infections worse, that and when I go to the end of the pill cycle it made me very very nauseous.

4. On the yeast, have you tried the monostat 7 day treatment?
3 different months (probably March, april, may) I tried monostat 3 day. I thought they helped but I tend to get the yeast infection a few weeks before my period, so it would come back every time.(Except for the last 1-2 months which the yeast infection has never gone) I don't want those chemicals in my body anymore...

5. How do you know the skin problems are psoriasis? Was this looked at by
a doctor or not?

It was not looked at by a doctor, I asked a doctor but they said I need to go to a dermatologist. I just dont have time to bounce around, and then go to get tests, and then get prescribed expensive meds I cannot afford. I thought it was due to the scabs on my scalp and the itchiness but my mom and boyfriend have both said it does not look like psoriasis though my grandfather had it. My scalp is red and scabby but not in the same way as psoriasis.

Some other things:
I am cold very easily, usually the only person with a sweater and blanket at work, but I also get hot really easy. Face is very oily. My feet sweat a lot even when cold (clammy). My nose is always itching.

I edited the title of the forum thread since maybe I do not have psoriasis

Hi Simone,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply! I've just felt very lost on where to start and I didnt want a doctor filling me with strange meds. I really appreciate it. I will start working to obtain these items, to answer your question,

1. Who had the tonsil problem first, you or the bf?
It sound like you are giving this back and forth to
each other.
A few weeks after the boyfriend and I first had intercourse in april I remember mentioning how annoyed I was that my tonsils were still inflamed from feb. I asked if his were inflamed out of curiosity and he let me look. When I saw that they were inflamed I asked if they had always been that way and he pretty much said yes. So I'm not too sure.

My question,

For the Thuja 30c I put the pill under my tongue and just let it dissolve and then swallow as it dissolves? I do not take it down with water? (Also is it 3 pills per day for 3 days or 1 pill per day for 3 days)
Thank you again!

Hi Simone,

Just wanted to let you know I am working on getting the items... money is very tight but I got more work than I thought I would, so I should have extra money later this week to make some purchases. Thanks for your help again and I will work to obtain these items.
