Muscae Volitants (Vetreous Floaters problem)

Dear All,

My mother has been suffering from a problem of Muscae Volitants, due to which she sees different shapes like spiders webs, a yellowish liquid like appearance in her vision. Though she has been suffering from the same problem, which has been growing by each passing day, her retina is perfectly normal as diagnosed by the doctors. But the problem doesnt seem to heal and only seems to get worse with time. The medicines she has tried till now include phosphorus, Selicia, physostygma, belladonna, but nothing seems to have worked for her. Kindly suggest if she can try anything else or any of the above as well with correct potency and dosage. Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regerds,
Dheeraj

I was able to keep my eyes open for longer periods of time since somehow I was less conscious about the shapes in front of my eyes and the irritation caused due to them was less. But the shapes were always there in the period I was comfortable, as they normally are. Also, was able to bear bright light a lot more in this period.

Thanks,

Hi Nikkie,

I have completed the doses as prescribed by you. I would say there might be slight improvement since the yellow liquid flashes that I mentioned about earlier, have reduced compared to before. But, everything else such as the spider webs, shapes like circles, snakes, black spots,etc are the same as before.

Pls advice.

Thanks,
Racna

Thanks for the update. Now take ruta 200 one dose in a day for every 10 days. For rest of the days continue with Arnica wet dose as said before (the day you take ruta dont go for arnica wet dose). It is 20 yrs old symptoms, good to see the recovery has started.

Please include the following in the daily food menu:
1) Daiy 2-3 raw carrots to be consumed by you.

>>Please start with the following exercises for strengthening weak eye muscles. Gaze at a particular point. or looking at an object:
1) Keeping your face forward straight, the eyes are fixed on the tip of the right shoulder.
2) Keeping your face straight forward the eyes are fixed on the tip of the left shoulder.
3) The eyes are focused on the tip of the nose.
4) The eyes are focused on the space between the eyebrows.

>>These exercises should be practiced from a meditative position like padmasana or vajrasana. The gaze should be maintained for as long as you are comfortable, gradually increasing the period from 10 to 20 and then to 30seconds. The eyes should be closed and rested after each exercise. Persons with acute myopia should perform the above exercises with their eyes closed.

Please do update.

Blessings & Prayers,
Nikkie.

Hi Nikkie,

I see significant improvement with this dosage. Some of my big irritating shapes of floater have dissipated and eventually disappeared. the other shapes have become lighter than before and I even find myself more comfortable in lighted areas.

I am really thankful for your recommendations and effort. Pls advice on the next dosage.

Thanks again,
Racna

Thanks for the update. I am sorry for delayed reply.

Please get hold of following medicines in liquid dilution:
1) Sepia 200.

1) Day 1 to Day3.
>> Take one dose of Sepia early morning empty stomach.

One dose means.
The medicine is in liquid dilution form. Add 3 drops of medicine in some half cup (Approx. 3 sip) water and stir with spoon. Sip up the content.

After taking three days of sepia doses, you can wait for five days and update me about the progress.

Blessings & Prayers,
Nikkie.
 
Nikkie last decade
Hi Nikkie,

I have completed the dosage as adviced. Overall progress so far:

- atleast one round irritating shape with black spots in it dissipated around 20 days back. It used to shine in the centre causing a lot of irritation.
- Some black spots have appeared but I think they might have come out of the shape that got dissipated and perhaps this is all that is left of it.
- As I had a mentioned initially when I started consulting you about a yellowish liquid like substance that flashed like 2-3 times in a hour. Those flashes have reduced to 1-2 times per hour.
- I am less sensitive to light flashes now.
- The floaters are milder now and hence less annoying.

But, this improvement majorly happened around 20 days back and has remained the same so far. Think it had more to do with the previous dosage you advised rather than the latest one. You of course are the best judge. :-)

Eagerly awaiting your response .

God bless.

you can go for repeat dose of the following:

1) Day 1 to Day10.

One dose means.
The medicine is in liquid dilution form. Add 3 drops of medicine in some half cup (Approx. 3 sip) water and stir with spoon. Sip up the content.

After completing the above take Ruta 200 just one dose in the morning and one dose before going to bed for one day only.

After completing with Ruta you can again start with Arnica wet dose (as explained in previous post) for 10 days.

Please keep me updated.

Hi Nikkie,

I have completed the mentioned dosage. But things seem to go worse by now.

The floater have increased in size and number. Find it difficult to keep eyes open. The yellow liquid like flashes have increased.

The last time I took Natrum carb, it seemed to improve the condition overall but seems to have no effect this time.

Pls advice. Tanks for your help so far.

God bless,
Racna
