A very good Questionnaire (Set of Questions)

Rishimba has designed a very good Questionnaire (Set of Questions) for case taking. He designed this long back. i have been using these questions whenever i think that full case taking is needed.

These questions are designed to get the following information from the patient
1. Mental State of the patient
2. Physical Ailments
3. The likely cause for above problems
4. The modalities like whether the patient feels well or worse in hot weather, cold weather etc., he is relieved by / worsenened by hot applications, cold applications etc.

i also thank Rishimba for designing such wonderful tool for case taking. i can also understand the hard work that he has done for desiging these questions.

Patients can use this questionnaire for submitting their cases. The effectiveness of remedy selection is directly proportional to the details provided by the patient while replying these questions.

Sameerq last decade
This definitely one of the good q'nnaires I have seen.

Rishi: Is it possible to reduce the number of questions without loosing the essence?
 
srisri last decade
thanks srisri... i find it very convenient to converge to a remedy if i get all the answers.

the only shortcoming of this questionnaire is that it cannot pick up the mentals and personality of the patient properly. the constitution of a person is predominantly based on his personality, preferences in life, intellect, behaviour and the thought process.

in short, its the mentals that determine the constitution. psycological aspect of the constitution cannot be picked up by this questionnaire.

Divinegrace last decade
please take RHUS TOX 30C every 4 hours for some 2 to 3 days till you feel there is a relief in stiffness and pain in the knee joint.

if it doesnt bring any relief even in 3 days of taking the remedy, you should stop.

you should taper down the frequency of the dose to twice a day when you observe some relief in pain.

take the remedy in empty stomach and clean mouth. dont take any food one hour before or after the doses.

one dose is 3 drops in some 10 ml of water or 4 pillules under the tongue.

amir123 last decade
if you keep on taking R 43 you will not know which remedy is actually helping you and which one are you proving.

its better to stop R 43 and wait for your body to respond to phosphorus.

after a week, once the symptoms surface, take PHOSPHORUS 200C some 5 doses, each dose 12 hours apart.
