The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Myotonic Dystrophy type 2
This is a genetic disorder that is a form of muscular dystrophy. It is multisystemic. During the worst attacks, I experience muscle pain in the shoulders, upper arms and hip flexers, migraine headache, excessive sleepiness and heavy fatigue. These symptoms are worsened by cold, damp or humid weather and often escalate just before a weather change while the barometer is dropping. The muscle pain and weakness are slightly worse on the right side. While they can be bad all day, they tend to be worse late afternoon and evening. Hot baths and trigger point massage ease the symptoms, but don't take them away completely. There is some weakness in my arms and legs. I sometimes have noticable discomfort on climbing stairs, walking up inclines and getting up from a seated position. It is now getting harder to get up from a squat position. I also have abdominal bloating and constipation, apparently related to this disorder.mmaxx on 2004-12-23
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It may be that you have a constitutional disorder of the type that Von Grauvogl wrote about. If this is the case then Nat Sul may be a remedy that would fit your case .
I give below some of the info that Von G came up with.
THE HYDROGENOID CONSTITUTION
Vox Grauvogl shall now speak for himself : "This much has become clear at any rate from the investigation which have been made, that there is a constitution of the body which in many cases is the product of gonorrheal contagion. But one would greatly err, in concluding therefrom that in this matter , the question were only as to the consequences of a sycotic contagion. For the cause of those diseases which Hahnemann arranged under the head of Sycosis is not the only cause of the development of this state of the body which is distinguished by a too great proportion of water , or by hygroscopic blood.
I always recognize the constitution of the body by the circumstances accompanying any disease whatever, and for which I always inquire as soon as the patient has told his complaints.
"If the patient states that he feels worse in cold or damp weather and in the rain, then I know that I have to chose among the remedies which are similar to his disease, such only , as contain a greater percentage of a combination of O with C & H , consequently produce more heat and diminish the influence of the water.
Hence the symptoms of the of a disease in this constitution of the body are aggravated by everything which in any way increases the atoms of water in the organism, or whatever increases the attraction of the organic molecules for water, for example eating animals that have lived in water. All diseases in such constitutions are increased by cold , and by living near water especially standing water.
