The ABC Homeopathy Forum
psoriasis
I have had psoriasis since 1995. It first appeared shortly after my Mother passed away during which time I contracted flu and subsequent pneumonia. The first flare-up come in December of that year, about a month after her death. It was steady for a couple of years and then went into remission. Over the past year is has reocurred with a vengeance-on my scalp, under my nails, in patches on my body. The topical treatment my Dr. has prescribed is a joke. It only thins the skin on my hands so that I have more open lesions. I teach young children and need to wash my hands or use antibacterial ointments. Please give me some guidelines. I know this is something from within that can be handled it I know how to help my body deal with it. I am a young 62 and want to keep on truckin'. Thanks!sequoyausa on 2007-03-12

Patient ID: Sex: Age: Nature of work: Habits: I am a female, 62 years of age. I am a Kindergarten Teacher in a public school setting.
Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.
1. Describe your main suffering? The psoriases has gone under my fingernails and into my scalp. It is painful only as I get cracks and bleeding around my nails and since I work with young children, I must wash my hands or use antibacterial solution often. My hair is thinning.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? I am about 35 pounds over my ideal body weight
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? The thinning hair and horrible nail problem are very stressing. I need to maintain a professional appearance. I am usually a very positive person and I do whatever I can to maintain this posture.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words. Self loathing, although I can do little to alleviate the situation. The medication given by my Doctor just makes my skin thinner and makes it crack and bleed easier.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
My mother passed away in 1995 after a short but stressful illness. Shortly before she passed I contracted influenza, which was debilitating and went into subsequent pneumonia. I was told that if I had any contagious diseases it would kill her if I visited her, so I didnt see her for several days before she passed. I couldnt explain to her that if I visited her I would pass the bug on to her. She was afraid she would die alone. I was able to be with her when she passed. Then the pneumonia hit and I had to plan her funeral. It was all a blur and was saved only by my husband.
6. Which time of the day you are worst?
None in particular.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.
I must wash my hands when at work. I can relax when I get home. Once I wash my hands with antibacterial soap, I dont need to wash again unless using the bathroom.
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)?
