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.

1) Chalazion:
How did this happen? I thought she bumped her eye

When did this happen? It started to show in March 2013

What exactly happens? What started as a small bump, turned into an oblong chalazion...it sometimes crusts and sheds, only to look red again, never diminishing in size


2)Sudden drops in blood pressure, leaving the child pale with blue lips:

How did this happen? no similar circumstances...3 episodes

When did this happen? April 24 around 10am(at home), July 13around 9am (at an event), Dec 15 around 2pm (at a park)

What exactly happens? child complains of feeling sick. has mentioned her throat, feeling of nausea, and the last time said that the air made her feel sick. She then gets very weak, pale white, and lips turn blue...does not loose consciousness, but cannot respond...all three times, her blood pressure was checked and very low.


3)Eczema:

How did this happen? thought it might have to do with dairy or eggs

When did this happen? started this year...child occassionally wakes up in the morning with itchy, scratchy red patches

What exactly happens?child cries, complains, scratches..have to use a cortizone to help...only lasts a day or so...eliminating dairy has made a significant difference

No, nothing ever comes out of it... It just goes through a cycle of crusting every few days...
