The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Attn : Dr.David Kempson (Brisbanehomoeopath) Page 11 of 19

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Stop the remedy straight away in case this is an aggravation.

You should always be getting medical advice for any chronic problem you have. I cannot substitute for face-to-face supervision of your health.

Have you never been to a doctor for this? It is quite possible they would just want to give you drugs anyway, but certainly pathology needs to be ruled out.

Sir,
I had visited the allopathy doctors and hospitals a number of times and had got done all the tests they recommended, but nothing was diagnosed as the reports were normal, except some sinus in the CT scan report, which I had reported you.

Sir, if you would suggest some tests, I can also get those performed.

Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
Were they satisfied there was no pathology behind the headaches, from the testing they did?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Yes Sir. I had got done all the blood tests, CT Scan, etc. and everything was normal, except the sinus, which I had reported earlier.

Sir, 'even the painkillers did not work', meaning thereby there is no pain in the head, in fact, it is heaviness and restlessness, which the sleep is causing. Yesterday, the headache was severe. The day my sleep is more restless, the intensity of headache increases automatically. The day my headache is on higher side, I become frustrated. As I entered the house last evening, I showed some anger on my son and wife in frustration and immediately showed repentence.

Get Lac defloratum 200c.

After this I will need to retake the case. We have used enough remedies without me reassessing.

Take one dose of Lac-d and report the reactions.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thank you Sir. I will take the remedy in the evening and report you accordingly.

Regards.

Sir,
It is obvious that if a person (especially me) is not responding to remedies, he may not have been giving proper picture of his health condition to his doctor to help him find a proper remedy. I know Sir this is an online forum and you can only rely on the typed words of the patient. Sir, you must have seen that I try to give as much details as possible about my headache, but this headache itself restricts me in certain ways, which I think is the main problem. I am giving the following information again and hopefully it will help.

I remember Sir you had asked me twice or thrice to describe the headache exactly, which I think, I could not. May be due to not finding the right terms or words to describe it. Sir, the headache is very unusual type, like brain is bound up, restricting me in certain ways. You had also asked me a question, “what will be done to another person to feel the same kind of pain?”. This will be Sir, if a person is wearing a tight helmet, very tight. Sir, I had checked about Lac-Def. from my local homeopath and he said he had given this remedy to me about six months ago – two doses in 10M potency. Therefore, I have not taken the dose of 200C potency yet.

Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
10M is far too high. Even if right that could miss you completely.

I would still try the 200c - each potency acts quite differently. Giving too high or too low can have little effect on a patient even if the remedy itself is correct.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Sir,
As advised, took a dose on Saturday (19thNovember). Sorry to inform that there is no change. Headache is very severe.

Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
What about all your other symptoms?

There is no point in just reporting one symptom to me. Direction of cure may reveal the remedy is corect, even if your main symptom has not yet changed.

Please list all the symptoms you initially complained about. Next to each one write Better, Worse, Same, Gone. If better or worse write a percentage or score to represent how much.

This will allow me to assess the general evolution of your illness.

Remember that a symptom is anything that causes suffering, mental, emotional, physical, spiritual - anything.

Sir,
I really feel guilty in informing about my condition. I can't understand Sir why no remedy works. This is really frustrating Sir, I think not only for me, but for you as well.
The condition is the same, no change in any of the symptoms. Even cannot write my posts properly in such a severe headache. Don't know what to do or not.
Sir, this sickness has made me totally handicapped. I am now turning a very unsocial type of person. No meeting the people, not going to anybody even for marriages. If must have to go, I need company, avoid going alone.

What does it mean, Sir - no response to the remedies - is there some major disease in the body or proper remedy is not found.
 
gkumar last decade
You have not been given the right remedy yet. That is all.

There are over 5000 different medicines, with more being discovered all the time. The right one must be found. I suspect yours will be quite unusual.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Sir,
Please see my case again and help me to get rid of this unending headache. I am really grateful to you Sir for your continuous support and guidance.

Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
Sir,
Giving all the details regarding sleep :
After sickness, I can never take a short nap at any time. Sleeps at usual time – between 10 and 11 p.m. – it takes about an hour to fall asleep – wakes suddenly in the morning with great restlessness. Also, in between sleep, wakes once or twice. My mouth is dried and tongue is coated (creamy/yellow) afer waking. During holidays, I wake up late – at 9 or 10 a.m., but no feeling of freshness though. Even if feeling very tired, cannot sleep immediately. I remember my two previous different journeys, when I have reached the destinations at 3 or 4 a.m. in the morning after driving the car, all other persons accompanying me had fallen asleep immediately, but I could not. If I am making a journey in a bus, car or any other means – feels anxiety, as if the door of the vehicle will open or something like that and I cannot sleep. I feel sleepy all the day, as if not slept in the night. My face and eyes also look sleepy.
Sleep is the main reason for all the problems Sir, but how it has turned so restless, I don’t know exactly.
Sir, as I remember, the sleep has become restless after getting my job. May be I get up in anxiety in the morning for going to office.
The day I feel little better, I notice improvement in all the symptoms, e.g. all the symptoms seemed interlinked. This happens on the day, when my sleep is little better. Sir, a panic-type feeling has also developed. Don't know this restless sleep is due to some panic or something else.

Feeling that your wife is not good enough for you – As explained earlier, this opinion frequently changes – at times, she looks the best and at times the worst.

I am adding some more things Sir :
There is great apprehensiveness – I apprehend something all the time.
Urination is also frequent (I have to go for urine after sometime I take water, but if I don’t take water, such need is not felt).
Indigestion is also there. In case I take some heavy food or take my dinner late, the next day stool is very bad with bad taste in mouth all the day. My tongue is also creamy/yellow in the morning.
I am a perfectionist-type person and often find mistakes in others’ jobs (but don’t object to anyone).
Sir, when I saw your last post, I was totally amazed. How much effort you put in in analyzing the cases. Thank you very much Sir.
Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
I am just trying to be methodical and careful.

This assessment actually shows something interesting. There has been no worsening of your condition, so the disease has not been suppressed and appears to not to be evolving, which is a good thing.

In fact, surprisingly, there actually has been some improvement. The symptoms in which this has happened are:


Taking an hour to get to sleep
Timidity
No desire to do anything
Jealousy
Suspicion
Weeping easily
Excitement alternating with calmness
Averse to lemon
Sensitive to rudeness of others
Low sexual power
Effort to get love and attention
Others get priority
Unable to remain peaceful in arguments

Overall the improvements are outweighed by the lack of change, but the changes are mostly in the emotional sphere which is good.

What is interesting to me, is that the changes are what I recognise as 'sugar' symptoms - the symptoms that Dr. Tinus Smits described as part of one of the universal layers, this one being the one for love or lack of love. This is also one of the themes for all the milk remedies.

Now I am going to ask you a very difficult question.

When do you believe these things changed?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Sir,
This is really a difficult question. As my restless sleep, headache alongwith restlessness and tiredness in the body did not change with any of the remedies, I could not notice which remedy led to these changes. Sorry Sir, but I am not able to answer this question accurately.
 
gkumar last decade
Sir,
After getting up this morning, I was not feeling so sick, but the condition has worsened immediately after taking the breakfast. The heaviness, restlessness, headache, pain in eyes, lost feeling - all have been increased.
 
gkumar last decade
Sir,
Kindly see again, as the condition is the same, as before, severe headache, restlessness, etc. etc.
Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
I am still analyzing all this data.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Sir,
Last night, my son observed my sleep for a while, as he could not sleep till 1 a.m. He said you (me) were snoring very loudly and your both the hands were under your head and you were trying to speak something, which I could not hear. He also said that my lips were in motion like chewing something. He said when I turned to right side, the snoring stopped and thereafter, he fell asleep.
 
gkumar last decade
When I look over the excellent notes by Dr. Chhabra, the remedy that seems indicated is Lanthanum metallicum.

This will be a difficult remedy to get. It is not a common remedy at all, although I do have it myself in my own clinic.

Make some enquiries and see what you can do. It is likely it would need to be imported.

So many commmon remedies have been tried, I doubt your remedy lies among them.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thank you very much Sir for all the efforts you are putting in for me. Really grateful, Sir.

Sir, I will check the availability of the remedy by today itself.

Please indicate the potency.

Regards.
 
gkumar last decade
I am sorry I posted this on the wrong thread. I am trying to answer these in-between my appointments today with my patients, and I am getting into a bit of a rush.

Please ignore that prescription I will give you a more suitable choice soon.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Sir - Kindly spare some time and suggest.

Regards.
