Don't touch any medicine for a week. You took too many medicines too quickly and we should wait till the effect of them wear out.

Come back after a week. Bear with the inconvenience till then.

Basic Problem

My problem has changed with the past 3-4 years. It has always start from stomach complaints. I used to have pains in the left side and the pain was like needles/ thorns, this symptom was worse when my stomach was empty. After few months this problem worsened, and this problem changed its face and it effected my stool a lot, I used to have dirreoh, which would happen with any meal with ghee(oil) or hi on spices.

After a while I noticed my desire to urinate has started increasing, so much so that in 2 years I could not spend 15 mins without urinating.

The problem with the stool now is that stool comes with the feeling of a lot of preesure like dirreoh, and realsease of a couple of pieces I feel like constipation and then the whole anus feels burning itch, which also gets transferred to the urethrea, after this i feel to pass few drops of urine to cool the burning in the urethrea,

Other than that, all all times the urethra is not comfortable, at all times it feels that the layer of skin/ memberances in the urethra is not thorned or is full of knife cuts, also the base of the uretra which connects to the bladder is always thorny itch, and a feeling that i must hasten, or if i let loose so urine might flow out.

the medicines that I have tried are .

Cantharis 30x,

One driving symptom was the desire to urinate and the unbearable feeling after having coffee, that convinced me that i had to use this medicine. I used it and the results were very positive, It reduced the burning in my urethrea, but i over dosed it, so i had to leave the medicine once it aggrevated the burnning, over all i think it reduced 70 % of my problems. Other than desire to urinate and also the itching , the stool problem was never solved.

Then i used thuja 200c once a week

for 3 weeks, and the result was positive, the urge to urinate decrease, it had a cooling effects to my problems, I felt that the urge in all the pains have gone, now i can urinate on my will and am much much better,

but the problem remains with my stool. and also my itch in the memberances of the urethra which i know have not been cured.

specially the one which connects the bladder, also when i hold my penis between a finger and a thumb and press it the urethra has a cutting feeling, like it has been cut inside by knives .

I will also answer to any questions u may have?
 
gumby last decade
Try Nux.vomica 200c everyday night for a week and report back.

I will use nux vomica, and report,

murthy I have been following homepathy for months and love it, I am also reading a lot of books, I want to learn the way all of u doctors diagnose the problem and give medicines.

could you please tell me what are the symptoms that u choose, nux, thanks,

I had my mind on kali bi, as most pains are cutting mostly associated to kali.

but the reason to ask is to learn , however i will do as u say.

Nux from what i learnt is a very superior remedy which i think has an effect on the brain and the nervous system please correct me. thanks
 
gumby last decade
hey Dr. Tahira so good to see you back, I have been waiting for you for so long!
 
gumby last decade
Dr Tahira!

whats the matter ? You are the one who started my treatment and I got the tests done as you said and now I am in middle of no where? I see you replied on all threads but not mine?

I first priority is getting treated by you as you started the treatment.

Thanks , please atleast tell me what my reports say? and what medications I should use

I will only use your medications at the moment. Its only because you were not here that i asked other people.
 
gumby last decade
Gumby,
One must has the respect for his/her physician.We treat(also my colleagues)selflessly without any expectation.If u checked ur mail i first replied u after my arrival even before i returned to abcforum.
At forum i saw u have started with Mr Murthy so i didn't feel appropriate to intervene.

Dr.Tahira
 
Dr Tahira last decade
Dear Dr.Tahira

I would not have intervened had I known that you are back.

Please continue.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
I agree, but the fact of the matter is I only asked for suggestins from others only for the fact that time was taking its toll on me,

I tied my level best to wait, but I am sorry I was a bit impatient.

i would like to conclude the treatment with you

with all due respect to murthy who I respect a lot for helping me. I would still like to continue with you. As I think consistency is very important.

I wait for your kind advice.
 
gumby last decade

Dear Dr. Tahira,

I also noticed that my desire to urinate has gone down considerably by thuja.

I took 1 does of 200 every week for 4 weeks now, now my desire to urinate with constant itch is gone.

Only one small problem is left , i will try to explain it, have u ever used pricky heat powder, do u know how it feels after some time.? I feel in my urethra just the same feeling

also, it increases when the penis is in erect position, as then the urethra is stretched so the whole pipe inside feels the feeling of chilled, irritating itch

that is it, also if i have cold drinks like pepsi and all, 2-3 glasses in a hour like in a party , then the desire to urinate gets fired up and i have to urinate every 20 mins. for 3-4 times atleasr.

Other than that the stool problem has not improved. my stool still burns. and it comes with a lot pressure like i have loose motions, but when i pass the stool after one or 2 pieces I feel constipated and then the burn starts which enters the urethra like a burning poison, and after that i must urine few drops to cool it.


Thanks doctor, I wait for your answer.

May God bless you for this favor.

Definition

Liver function tests, or LFTs, include tests for bilirubin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin, and ammonia, a protein byproduct that is normally converted into urea by the liver before being excreted by the kidneys. LFTs also commonly include tests to measure levels of several enzymes, which are special proteins that help the body break down and use (metabolize) other substances. Enzymes that are often measured in LFTs include gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT); alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT); aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT); and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). LFTs also may include prothrombin time (PT), a measure of how long it takes for the blood to clot.

Description

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body. As the body's 'chemical factory,' it regulates the levels of most of the main blood chemicals and acts with the kidneys to clear the blood of drugs and toxic substances. The liver metabolizes these products, alters their chemical structure, makes them water soluble, and excretes them in bile.

Liver function tests are used to determine if the liver has been damaged or its function impaired. Elevations of certain liver tests in relation to others aids in that determination. For example, aminotransferases (which include ALT and AST) are notably elevated in liver damage caused by liver cell disease (hepatocellular disease). However, in intrahepatic obstructive disease—which may be caused by some drugs or biliary cirrhosis—the alkaline phosphatases are most abnormal.

Alanine aminotransferase
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), formerly called serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, or SGPT, is an enzyme necessary for energy production. It is present in a number of tissues, including the liver, heart, and skeletal muscles, but is found in the highest concentration in the liver. Because of this, it is used in conjunction with other liver enzymes to detect liver disease, especially hepatitis or cirrhosis without jaundice. Additionally, in conjunction with the aspartate aminotransferase test (AST), it helps to distinguish between heart damage and liver tissue damage.

Aspartate aminotransferase
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), formerly called serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, or SGOT, is another enzyme necessary for energy production. It, too, may be elevated in liver and heart disease. In liver disease, the AST increase is usually less than the ALT increase. However, in liver disease caused by alcohol use, the AST increase may be two or three times greater than the ALT increase.

Alkaline phosphatase
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels usually include two similar enzymes (isoenzymes) that mainly come from the liver and bone and from the placenta in pregnant women. In some cases, doctors may order a test to differentiate between the alkaline phosphatase that originates in the liver and the alkaline phosphatase originating in bone. If a person has elevated ALP, does not have bone disease and is not pregnant, he or she may have a problem with the biliary tract, the system that makes and stores bile. (Bile is made in the liver, then passes through ducts to the gall bladder, where it is stored.)

Gamma-glutamyl transferase
Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), sometimes called gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGPT), is an enzyme that is compared with ALP levels to distinguish between skeletal disease and liver disease. Because GGT is not increased in bone disorders, as is ALP, a normal GGT with an elevated ALP would indicate bone disease. Conversely, because the GGT is more specifically related to the liver, an elevated GGT with an elevated ALP would strengthen the diagnosis of liver or bile-duct disease. The GGT has also been used as an indicator of heavy and chronic alcohol use, but its value in these situations has been questioned recently. It is also commonly elevated in patients with infectious mononucleosis.

Bilirubin
Bilirubin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin, is the predominant pigment in a substance produced by the liver called bile. Excess bilirubin causes yellowing of body tissues (jaundice). There are two tests for bilirubin: direct-reacting (conjugated) and indirect-reacting (unconjugated). Differentiating between the two is important diagnostically, as elevated levels of indirect bilirubin are usually caused by liver cell dysfunction (e.g. hepatitis), while elevations of direct bilirubin typically result from obstruction either within the liver (intrahepatic) or a source outside the liver (e.g. gallstones or a tumor blocking the bile ducts). Bilirubin measurements are especially valuable in newborns, as extremely elevated levels of unconjugated bilirubin can accumulate in the brain, causing irreparable damage.

Ammonia
Analysis of blood ammonia aids in the diagnosis of severe liver diseases and helps to monitor the course of these diseases. Together with the AST and the ALT, ammonia levels are used to confirm a diagnosis of Reye's syndrome (a rare disorder usually seen in children and associated with aspirin intake), which is characterized by brain and liver damage following an upper respiratory tract infection, chickenpox, or influenza. Ammonia levels are also helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, a serious brain condition caused by the accumulated toxins that result from liver disease and liver failure.

thank you murthy!

but i still do not know what is wrong with me?

Is it a liver damage? or hepititas, jaundice?

I have no clue to it,

I am very bad at medicine.

Dr.Tahira is the best person to answer you, but let me tell you this.

I don't find anything basically wrong with the results you had. The slight deviations from normal are not at all alarming.

Moreover for homeopathic prescribing these tests are not really necessary. The symptoms are the sole guide to arrive at the remedy.

Homeopathic medicines were used and people were cured even when these tests were non exisiting.

However I am not against these tests. They definitely help the prescriber in assessing the severity of the problem and in assessing the prognosis.

I am afraid they don't have much role in selecting the remedy.

Let me tell you an example.

Many times the WIDAL test can't identify typhoid conclusively in the initial stages. But a homeopath can identify a proper medicine based on the initial symptoms and can abort the disease even before it is identified through blood tests.

Murthy
 
gavinimurthy last decade
I agree,

The only thing which I was concerned with is the the severity of the problem.

I think its shows a an imbalance in the liver.
 
gumby last decade
i would also like 2 add 2 recent symptoms i have discovered.

First, sleepiness and weakness, I feel very weak in my knee area, just feel do not have the power anymore. I used to be very sporty but now they feel very weak.

secondly,

I have also noticed that it is very very difficult to wake up in the morning, I feel very very sleepy, Even if i try to wake up early my eyes and head are like i havent slept for very long.

One more very important sypmtom is that I have felt recently that when i inhale breath with force , there is a very disturbing smell inside, only i can smell it, its not hygenic.
 
gumby last decade
Gumby,
Ur reports are indicating a little imbalance and sluggishness of organ functioning.This is not very alarming only in case if persist for a long time.
Now come to ur other symptoms,sleepiness and weakness both can be due to nervous weakness and chronic infection.
Smell is also due to intestinal infection.Mr murthy has described LFT and Liver Enzymes very well.I simply say that u are facing certain stage of development of pathology.This is not something new we often see a large number of such cases around us.
