Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

I have PCOD.I am 27 yrs married.

Dx PCOS at age 16. Was on various birth control pills for 10 yrs to get withdrawl periods. I have cold limbs mainly feet. In childhood i used to get red itchy patches on skin sometimes filled with water due to scratching. I have a fungal Infection on neck and upper body skin also since I had PCOS. In chinese medicine I was diagnosed as kidney yang deficiency with liver/spleen Qi deficiency. Ultrasound confirmed bilateral PCOS. With chineese herbs and acupuncture I got rid of my cysts but hormonal function is still disturbed. My periods since I left the birth control pills are irregular. Twice in a month but same day. So I am not able to conceive also. LH:FSH is 14:6 with low progestrone. Testestorone and other hormonal tests were always normal. I also have 50% white hair. I have low energy. I am a day person, sleep well, no dreams. I have panic attacks sometimes. I rarely drink water in 24 hours. I have recently developed a mole in my right lower back.
Any suggestion would be great help.

Kadwa Just a thought seems to be Pulsatilla .


Dear Indusvibes ,

Do u think u identify with the following description of homeopathic remedy Pulsatilla .

'The Pulsatilla patient is an interesting one, found in any household where there are plenty of young girls.

She is tearful, plethoric, and generally has little credit for being sick from her appearances; yet she is most nervous, fidgety, changeable, easily led and easily persuaded. While she is mild, gentle and tearful, yet she is remarkably irritable, not in the sense of pugnacity, but easily irritated, extremely touchy, always feels slighted or fears she will be slighted; sensible to every social influence.

Melancholia, sadness, weeping, despair, religious despair, fanatical; full of notions and whims; imaginative; extremely excitable'
 
vikas_grower last decade
Thank you for a quick consideration.

Most of the symptoms are similar but I dont sweat much, nor feel thirsty, nor I have hot flashes in need of fresh cool air. In fact i get cold feet all the time even if i am in blanket/ socks. So this confuses myself with pulsatilla.

When I was younger I made better male friends than female.

Pulsatilla has coldness of lower limbs see below


'Lower limbs : Aeth., agar., apis., ars-i., ars., asaf., bapt., Bell., Calad., calc-s., calc., carb-s., chel., cic., coff., crot-c., crot-t., dig., ip., Lac-c., led., lyc., mez., mosch., mur-ac., nat-c., nat-m., Nit-ac., nux-v., ol-an., Op., ox-ac., par., petr., phos., plb., Puls., rhod., rhus-t., sec., Sep., sil., spong., stram., stront., stry., sulph., tarent., verat.

Please also refer to this description of pulsatilla


'The disposition and mental state are the chief guiding symptoms to the selection of Pulsatilla. It is pre-eminently a female remedy, especially for mild, gentle, yielding disposition. Sad, crying readily; weeps when talking; changeable, contradictory. The patient seeks the open air; always feels better there, even though he is chilly. Mucous membranes are all affected. Discharges thick, bland, and yellowish-green. Often indicated after abuse of Iron tonics, and after badly-managed measles. Symptoms ever changing. Thirstless, peevish, and chilly. When first serious impairment of health is referred to age of puberty. Great sensitiveness. Wants the head high. Feels uncomfortable with only one pillow. Lies with hands above head.'
 
vikas_grower last decade
You are right sir. Behaviourily I am same person. In childhood I used to sleep with hands above head and cross legged but since I went to tuitions I felt cold getting into my legs bones.
Actually other cases I saw in internet have profuse perspiration with preference of winter season.

What potency do I need ?

Is this my constitutional remedy?

Will this take care of my skin fungal infection ('Sihuli'/ 'sehua' in Hindi)and hair problem also?

Thanks

Let us wait for Kadwa comments .


By the way , is there some part of the day when u feel worse as compared to rest of the day.
 
vikas_grower last decade
Yes sir. I have a correction is answer to Q6. I am a day person. I do everything important in morning. After sunset I feel most low. I dont feel like doing house chores.

And yes I have craving for salty, spicy food with immediate next bite of sweet food and vice versa.

I sometimes have strange mild numbness in left arm. Less control of left hand.

Yes visually I look healthy and fair. I blush easily.

As I have cold limbs, I have cold bumps too. I have pimple like eruptions at side arms.

Thanks

vikas_grower last decade
Just one comment.

My husband has leukemia. In childhood also I used to get easily stressed out due to exams etc.

i think ars alb should be used atleast to open the case. If repertorization is done for amenorrhoea we have ars. But mm talks only about profuse menses.

Over to Vikas. He is taking the case nicely.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear kadwa ,

since there is a total absence of thirst , ars may not be indicated .

What do u say .
 
vikas_grower last decade
1. I fear enormous amount of water like waterfalls, dam or sea. I get suffocation as soon as air aupply is lost.

2. No burning sensation..nor near shoulder blades.But pain then relaxation when massaged. Stiff neck.

3. I used to crave for mild cold drinks sipping with spicy foods.

4. I fear death of myself and my loved ones.

5. No fear of corners
6. I am focussed more on important matters like my and my husband's health but often I am restlessly argumentative over unimportant materialistic matters too. I relax and get energy after argumentation and justifying myself.

7. Yes sometimes I have problem in hearing low sound.

8. I am normally sensitive for sound. Earlier I liked loud and party. Not now.

9. I get pain in teeth by drinking cold water. No vomiting.

10. Yes I can eat more even after eating, but I cut down my food.

11. Morning after bowel movements, I have hunger pangs.

12. Pain in chest when I run even small distance. No stamina. I feel pain in back and legs when massaged as if some blockage /poor circulation is there. Thats is why probably chineese herbs/ acupuncture helped me for blood stasis stagnation. My feet get warmer and I feel more energy, but it goes cold again later. My cysts have gone but periods not regulated. I dont like to wear a bra at home due to discomfort.

13. No burning between shoulder blades but pain when massaged.

14. Yes Mild timid and yielding disposition for sure.

15. I like fatty food, but avoid them.

please revert for more questions. I am rediscovering myself.

vikas_grower last decade
1. No I dont have gas after food. But I have some in morning and evening after lying in a single position for long.

2. I dont usually have headaches. If at all headaches are due to TV/ computers and they resolve completely with massage and lying horizontal.

3. Morning I am freshest, cheerful and optimum.

4. I would say I am NOT CARELESS. I am mentally alert. I analyze things but I am more of a solution finder type. I form opinions soon. People count on me but I dont do so.

5. I have regular normal bowel movements.

6. Frequent urination whenever I drink liquid. More in day.

7. Cold limbs. Sore at sides and back of ankles.

8. Religious but dont show.
9. I am sensitive. I was very close to my brother as a kid, but as time passed he got buzy, then married. Now when he shows his care and thanks me, I weep. I weep when my parents praise me.
 
indusvibes last decade
As a kid i was much more confident in every aspect. During my PG and job I regained my confidence but it was more of agression probably due to prolonged pills. Now I am not as jolly as I was earlier but I am still the initiater of talk usually.

I hope I am not confusing you :-)
 
indusvibes last decade
Please get Lycopodium 30c in liquid or pellets form .

Inform once u get it then we will discuss the dosing proceedure .
 
vikas_grower last decade
Please also get Pulsatilla 30 C .


Please also explain this


'In studies also I became suddenly weaker due to change in school. From a topper I became a hardly 1st division student. Confidence level dropped suddenly. '
 
vikas_grower last decade
Till class 10th I was confident and studious kid.

After class 10th, I changed my school to a nearby one in my colony. Though I was a topper earlier, I could not resist the change and fell into depression. The new school had different environment of partiality in which I could not adjust.
My grades dropped.
 
indusvibes last decade
Can it be that I have cold limbs due to poor blood circulation? The reason why I am asking is sometimes when I feel blood gushing like when exercising / running/ or sitting in 'Vajrasana' my feet gets warm.
 
indusvibes last decade
Yes normally poor blood circulation is the normal reason for cold extremities and if the remedy selection of Lycopodium turns out to be right that aspect will also improve .
