This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This looks to be quite a serious situation and probably a very complex case.

Do you know anything about homoeopathic prescribing, specifically about the high level of detail we need to make prescriptions with confidence?

In order to take on your case, you would need to answer many questions and disclose many things that might not seem relevent to your main problems.

However, if you are able to do this, I can attempt to guide you through the large number of medicines we have available.

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION

It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.

1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?

Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR HEALTH BY PROVIDING ALL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, EVEN IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN ONE, AND EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER IT OF LESS IMPORTANCE.

You should address each problem separately using the above 7 questions as a guide. Do not put all your complaints into each of the 7 questions. Discuss one problem at a time. If you have, for example, a headache with nausea, do each component separately too (what makes the head pain worse or better, what makes the nausea worse or better).

As well as this, please describe any traumatic incidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.

Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.

Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.

Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow, especially where this occurred around the beginning of your disease, or as the disease evolved.

Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.

If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:

1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
8. Describe your menstrual cycle

9. Also give these details

a) Body type and build
b) Skin colour and texture
c) Areas of the body tends to perspire on
d) Odour of sweat, body, stool, flatus, urine
e) Colour of stool, urine, sweat

10. Give any reactions to vaccines or medical drugs.

Hi David,

I do apologize for not getting back...I was hospitalized for the condition, but after a few days of the intravenous / course of antibiotics ending, the poly bacterial infection comes back. I will take a look at the questions and respond in the next few days...But I have seemed to found a homeo med that seems to be working....Merc Sol. I've tried others like Pyrogenium 200c, penicillicum 12x, mezereum, sulphur, and these have temporary relief but symptoms return after ending the homeo.

I am finding that Merc Sol 30c and 200C seem to be effective in fighting the systemic bacterial infection...wherever there was the infection (gums - periodontal infection and cheek inflamation, face - erysipelas, CNS - spinal meningitis, Neck - deep neck infection, Lungs - chronic bacterial pneumonia, hands - skin symptoms and pain in joints, etc), I am seeing that merc sol 30C seems to really cause pain in those areas, and then I get relief from that chronic fatigue that I've been suffering for the last 5 years....How long should I take merc sol 30C / 200C for ? An informal homeopath here suggested taking 30c during the day before / around noon, and then the 200c at night before I go to bed.

- A-
