Female with Guttate and Plaque Psoriasis

To: homeo.mzp, thank you for replying and looking at my case for consideration.

1. Age,sex,weight,body and face appearance, country, occupation.

I am a 38 year old female. I am large built, fat, 290lbs., gray/brunette hair with fair skin and a round face and blue eyes. I live in the U.S.A., in Tennessee. I am a stay at home mom and do not work outside of the house. I am unmarried and live with my son and my mother.

2. Main complaints and other associated troubles.

a) I have guttate psoriasis - which covers 80% of my body on my legs, ankles, belly, back, hands, arms, eyebrows and scalp. Intensely itchy, especially if I get overheated. Then, I have plaque psoriasis which is currently on my elbows and knees only. I also frequently get boils on my inner thighs and lower belly which are worse in the heat. I do not want anyone to see my skin.

b) What exactly do you feel, Sensation as pain, how pain feels or burn etc.
I am very itchy all over with dry, scaly skin that crusts over. The plaques bleed if I try to remove them by rubbing and scratching then are painful.

c) What are the factors that causes this trouble according to you.
Stress, hypothyroidism, anxiety, anger and being overweight.

d) Condition under which the complaint is reduced or you feel better like,cold or hot application,cold or hot weather,position as standing,walking,rest etc.
The psoriasis does not seem to spread as bad in summer but never goes away completely. I prefer cool weather and applications. Nothing makes the spots disappear.

e) Condition under which the complaint is increased like, cold or hot application, cold or hot weather, position as standing, walking, rest etc.
Psoriasis gets worse and spreads in winter.

f) Any other complaint any where in the body.
The boils on my inner thighs and belly are always worse in the heat and around my period each month. I also have high blood pressure, polycystic ovarian syndrome and frequent lower back pain. I have sharp, stabbing spasms in my lower left abdomen below my belly button. I was told that I may have adhesions from scar tissue from have a c-section in 2011. Most of my complaints are on the left. But the psoriasis is everywhere.

g) Onset time of troubles in detail, i.e which came first, after that what problem and so on.
I have had psoriasis on my scalp since childhood. I am not sure what started it. I was molested by my paternal grandfather around age 3 or 4 (I cannot remember exactly. Then, I was molested by my female cousin around age 7 or 8. I was always fat and made fun of during school years. I developed hypothyroidism in 1995. In 1998, my boyfriend passed away and a few months later, I suddenly gained a lot of weight. First bad psoriasis outbreak on other body parts in 1999 when I moved out of my childhood home and again in 2001, when I moved again. My father passed in 2008 and I had a bad outbreak of psoriasis. Then, I had scabies in 2009 and have felt dirty ever since. After the birth of my son in 2011, the psoriasis has been worse and spreading.
h) Treatment method adopted and its result.
I have used triamcinolone and clobetasol which do not clear my skin.

3. History of diseases in family.
My maternal grandfather had psoriasis as well as my mother. My mother has hypothyroidism. Maternal grandmother, mother and father had/have high blood pressure. My maternal grandfather had lung ailments. Maternal grandmother had series of mini-strokes. My father died of heart disease and diabetes. My paternal grandfather died of multiple myeloma bone disease.

4. Personal History.
a)About childhood.
Besides the aforementioned incest, my childhood was okay. We were poor but my mother and father were loving. I had frequent stomach and skin complaints during childhood. I was always fair skinned and burn in the sun. I have always been obese and only lost weight a couple of times.
b)Academic performance.
I did well in school. I graduated high school. I went on to college but never completed my degree. I stopped college to take care of my father before he died. I also got to the point where the math classes were very hard and I doubt I could pass them.
c)Any major incidents in life and the effect of it on life.
For years, I did not remember being molested, then after my paternal grandfather passed away in 1997, I remembered what he had done to me. I was angry, hurt, and resentful. I began to steal things, doing drugs and drinking. I was arrested and admitted to my wrongdoings but still feel guilty to this day. I was raped in 1997 and never knew who did it or why. In 1998, my 25 year old boyfriend suddenly became ill and died. I started gaining a lot of weight then. My father passed away in 2008 and I was very pained. I regret not having a better relationship with him. Having my son in 2011 has made me want to get better and give him the good life he deserves.
d)How you are satisfied with your sex life, friends, family members, company etc.
My sex life is okay but could be better. Condoms irritate me and make me itch and have smelly discharge. My boyfriend (who is my son’s father) is still around. We are not married. I used to be quite social and have many friends, but now I rarely go out and see friends anymore. I have had extreme social anxiety for over 10 years. I do not work outside the home. I talk to some friends occasionally but not like when we were younger. I believe most of my family loves and cares for me, but I have always been an outsider and the “wild one” in the family.

5. Habits/Addiction.
a)Smoking, Alcohol,Sleeping pills, Laxative etc.
I smoke cigarettes daily. I occasionally drink alcohol. I am addicted to diet Pepsi and high carbohydrate foods.
b)Masturbation and frequency.
Rarely. Maybe once in 6 months.

6. How is your Appetite and Thirst.
I am always thirsty. I crave ice water. I usually eat more out of boredom and stress than actual hunger. But, when I am hungry I get a gnawing feeling in my stomach and must eat or I will get irritable and get a headache.

7. Likes and Dislikes.
a) I like Alcohol (but rarely drink, because I have an addictive tendency) I love Bread of any kind including pasta. I love Butter. I hate Bitter. I love Salt and potato chips and French fries. I like Sweet but no real craving for it. I love Sour pickles, buttermilk, mustard, lemonade. I hate Fats as far as on meat but like butter, oil, and greasy foods like cheeseburgers. I like Milk but do not drink it a lot. Before I had my son I was intolerant of milk and ice cream, but now have no problems. No Mud. No Chalk. I love Eggs and always have since I was a child. I love Spicy such as curry and sriracha hot sauce. Meat- I eat bacon, sausage but do not like pork chops. I eat chicken if it is only the breasts or if it is fried. I hate seeing the bloody veins near the bones in chicken. I only eat fried Fish, and hate strong smelling fish. I love shrimp in any way it’s prepared as long as it is fresh. Fruits- I do not eat a lot of fruit. Sometimes apples or grapes. Bananas upset my stomach greatly, I like them, but cannot tolerate them as they give me a terrible stomach ache and diarrhea. Oranges, pineapple and citrus foods bother my stomach as well, too acidic. I eat quite a bit of Fried Food. I prefer crispy and fried foods.
I like Warm food and drink coffee and hot tea. I do not like Cold food, unless it’s ice cream or cold cut meats. I love ice. I drink cold water, soda and tea. I love Chocolates. I love most food and drink but hate liver, slimy food and chewy things like gristle and the fat on the outside of steaks or chops. No bloody food either.

b)Anything else about like and dislike of any activity with you or surrounding.
I like being a mom. I try to play with and teach my son. I feel bad when I am depressed or in pain and do not pay enough attention to him.

8. Bowel movements.

I have mainly loose stools lately. Once, sometimes twice a day. Not satisfactory, I feel like I need to go more.

I have frequent hemorrhoids and bright, red bleeding after stool. Itching around rectum and some leakage.

9. Urine.
a)Frequency, nature, volume.
I urinate often as I am constantly drinking fluids (coffee, diet soda, tea, water). But, I sometimes have the urge to but only a small amount comes out.
b)Any discomfort before, during or after urination/odour
I feel pressure and burning and smelly, cloudy urine but not all the time.

11. For Females.
a)Menses, Regular, Irregular, Early, Late.
My menses have been irregular in the past 3 months, coming earlier or later than expected. Before that, they were regular. Last month was very heavy and painful. This month was scanty and less painful but I was more irritable and had just had a terrible yeast infection before starting.
b)Duration of menses.
Usually 7-8 days.
c)Nature of flow, Scanty, Blood colour, Consistency, Odour, Staining, itching/ when and what makes it worse/better.
All my problems become worse before my period, then during and after. I itch intensely before my period starts. Flow starts as brown, smelly and then normal dark red. Then at the end they are brown and scanty. I have frequent vaginitis and offensive, smelly discharge that is usually yellowish/brown that stains linens. Discharge has a fishy odor at times.

12. Sleep.
a)The quality of sleep, the quietness or restlessness of sleep,
position of sleep, times of waking and reasons for waking,
need for cover over various parts of the body,
whether the window must be open or closed etc.
common dreams, peculiar sounds or gestures during sleep, etc.
I usually wake up angry because I feel like I need more rest. I do not sleep well, and have sleep apnea. I rarely wake the night but if so, it is because I have to urinate usually 2 or 3 am. I wake up coughing with a tickle in my throat at various times. I start off covered but will uncover during the night if I become hot or itchy. I must have a fan on to sleep. I prop myself up and wear a breathe strip on my nose because I stop breathing and snore loudly. I have been told that I talk, cry, laugh and mumble sometimes during sleep. My son still sleeps in the same room as us in his own bed, because we do not have a room for him to have his own.
13. Sweat
a)How much, what parts, staining, Odour.
I do not sweat during the cold weather much unless it gets too hot under the bedcover. I frequently sweat in the summer and it is sometimes sour.

14. Weather
a)Tolerance to heat and cold, dryness, humidity, weather changes, sun,
foggy weather, wind drafts, closed rooms, etc.
I am very intolerant to heat and humidity. Drafts, closed room do not bother me.

15. Mental Status
a)The quality of the patient's life in relationship to loved ones, family, friends and colleagues. Overall quality of energy available to function in daily life, and under various circumstances.
I have become indifferent to most people. I love my family and friends, although I believe they are disappointed in me, as I am in myself. I become angry when questioned or when interrupted. I cry a lot because I feel like I am not good enough for anyone to love. However, I feel numb and emotionally absent, like I cannot create a bond with anyone anymore out of fear of being hurt. I communicate through social media, but rarely in person.
b)Any mental/emotional shocks occurring in the patient's life-grief, major financial losses separation from loved ones, death, identity crisis and other stress in life.
I was a victim (hate that word) of incest twice during childhood. My beloved paternal grandmother died when I was 5 years old. My maternal grandmother died in 1999. My paternal grandfather whom I hated for molesting me died in 1997. My maternal grandfather died in 1995. My boyfriend died in 1998. My father died in 2008. I have had many identity crisis’ throughout my life. I feel that I am a good person at heart but have done many bad, stupid things without thinking of the consequences. I do not grieve well. I overreact to small things. I do not work outside of the home and feel socially inept.
c)Memory,ability to concentrate/comprehend.
My memory is awful, I cannot remember simple things. I try to make lists, but forget my list! I have a very hard time concentrating, my thoughts become crowded and I have unwanted thoughts. I get very annoyed, like now, when I am trying to fill this out and remember things and my mother, boyfriend and son keep interrupting me over and over. My comprehension is not good; I can read a page in a book and not remember what I just read.
d)Are you fearful of anything eg: Animals, people, being alone, darkness, death, disease, robbers, thunder, storm, high places.
I am afraid of losing my mind/sanity and self-control. I like thunderstorms. I have always thought of rain as cleansing. As far as disease, I fear my disease is mental, I think my mental state is crumbling.
e)Are you anxious about anything: if yes, give details.
Other people. I think they are laughing at me and want to be mean and hurt me.
f)Are you impatient.
Yes. I used to be very patient in the past, not now, I would like to be again.
g)Are you doubtful or suspicious.
Yes, I have doubted those close to me, and thought they were trying to hurt me emotionally.
h)Are you hurt easily (emotionally)how do you react. Does it cause hatred/revenge.
Yes. I overreact. I get angry but bottle it up inside. The only ones I have hated are the ones who molested me.
i)Does your pride get hurt easily.
I have very little pride in myself. I am proud of others though.
j)Are you depressed, if so, reason/circumstances.
Yes. I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t depressed. I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, dysthymia, PTSD (from the sexual abuse) and possible ADHD, never confirmed because I stopped therapy.
k)Do you like to share your problems.
If I believe someone can help me or give good advice, then yes.
l)Effect of consolation.
If it is genuinely given it is okay.
m)Do you ever become suicidal when? How.
Yes, when I am overwhelmed by my problems/situation in life. I wonder if everyone would be better off without me. I talk myself out of it because I do not want to hurt my loved ones.
n)Memory- quality if poor, for what ( eg. Names, places, people, what you read).
Poor. I forget names, only to remember them later. I try to forget some people, but can’t. I used to love to read, but now, I cannot remember what I just read.
o)Do you weep easily, effect of weeping, ie, does it make you worse or better.
Around the time of my menses, I cry frequently. I usually do not feel better after crying because, I believe I should just suck it up and be strong.
p)Are you easily irritated. What makes you angry, how do you express it.
I am always irritable. Sometimes, it makes me angry and I say hurtful things; other times I just hold it in and walk away
q)Are you destructive.
I don’t think so now. But, in the past, I have done things that emotionally hurt and ended friendships. I have punched a hole in the wall, beat my head against a wall (when I was drinking alcohol) and thrown objects when angry. However, I have not done anything like that in years. I am learning to control my anger.
r)How good are you in making decisions.
Not good. I cannot even decide what to eat for dinner at times. But, that is because I want everyone to be pleased with my choice.
s)Do you like company or like to remain alone.
I am never alone as I have a 3 year old son. But, overall, I like to be alone and only have family as company. Rarely do I see friends socially.
t)How seriously are you affected by disorder and uncleanness in your surroundings.
I am profoundly affected by it. I hate when things are dirty and out of order. But, I have tried to overcome this as being a mother does not always allow me to be so tidy anymore.
u)How does failure appear to you?
I do not understand the question. I see myself as a failure, but like to see others succeed - if that is what is being asked.
v)Are there any matters that you deeply dislike?
Seeing anyone abused, suffering or being bullied.
w)What activities you deeply like? How does it affect your mood?
I love music, but now it makes me cry or get emotional depending on the genre I hear. I love reading and writing, but can no longer concentrate/comprehend what I am reading or writing. I get confused easily.
x)Are you affectionate? How does others sorrow affect you?
Yes. I feel their sorrow with them.
y)Any present fears in your life or future.
I fear not being a good mom to my son. I’m afraid my emotional numbness will not allow him to feel how much I love him.
z)Any present life or future life desires.
I want to be able to provide stability for my son and my family. That is why I want to feel and do the best that I can.

Thank you homeo.mzp for taking my case. I have the Staphysagria 30c pills and will begin taking them. I will try to reduce smoking as well. Thank you for the words of wisdom you gave me. I will report back soon.

report how you felt in

psoriasis : My psoriasis is itching greatly and still getting worse and spreading. That is why I am contacting you earlier than 15 days. The itching is severe, especially after bathing. This almost feels like the overall itchiness I had with scabies, it is terrible. My doctor looked at the spots and did not say anything about scabies though. I need to know if I can take another dose of the Staphysagria or need something more.

Emotional stability: Upon taking third dose I experienced a moment of euphoria. It was an overall calmness and had visions of beauty in my mind. Have not felt that again.

Sadness: Sadness is about 25% decreased, but still there. I have had a few profound crying spells and felt a release of many emotions.

Fatigue: I have felt more energy than before.

Confidence: I have seen a small improvement here, I feel a bit better about myself in general. I still have anxiety before being around others, but seem to deal with the fears a little better.

Anger: Upon first 3 doses my anger increased somewhat. My anger is still present but seems to diffuse to irritability more quickly than before. I have been breathing to calm myself and trying not to have such a quick temper.

Stools: Still at 1 or 2 per day. Loose but not watery. Also have intense itch in vaginal area but had it checked and no yeast infection, so I'm not sure maybe psoriasis in the area as well?

Sleep: I have been resting somewhat better once I finally get in bed. I have had several nights where I could not fall asleep for a long time. Also having very vivid dreams, some nightmares. I cannot remember all of my dreams.

Mental freshness: My mind is clearer some days. I still worry a lot but am trying to not let it overwhelm me.

I have also been trying to smoke less and most days I do well.

Thank you kindly.

psoriasis : My psoriasis is itching greatly and still getting worse and spreading. The itching is severe, especially after bathing. This almost feels like the overall itchiness I had with scabies, it is terrible. The intense itching makes me angry; I cannot feel comfortable no matter how hard I try. Every time I scratch one place, another starts itching.

Emotional stability: Now, my emotions are everywhere, constantly up and down. I feel like I may loose control. I feel like dying but cannot.

Sadness: Sadness is still there. I could cry at any moment, it does not take much to start my sadness all over again.

Fatigue: I am very tired and want to sleep a lot now.

Confidence: I am not very confident, I felt as though I was improving but now I do not want to be around anyone. I am afraid to speak my mind for fear of making someone think badly of me.

Anger: I have had a really bad time with anger the past 3-4 days. I am trying to do breathing and exercises suggested but I get interrupted and that irritates me greatly. I have no time to do things for myself. I just want to scream.

Stools: Still at 1 or 2 per day. Loose but not watery.

Sleep: I am having trouble falling asleep at night. I want to sleep during the day and be alone.

Mental freshness: I feel like my thoughts are crowding together and cannot concentrate.

I have been smoking less. Sometimes smoking makes me feel nauseous. It is around this time before my menses begin that I am like a crazy lady. The vaginal discharge is still yellow and offensive, almost like ammonia or something. I am having many mood swings. I want to crawl out of my own skin. I have intense cravings still for starchy, carbohydrate foods like chips, bread and rice. And for meat and cheese.

Please advise. Thank you.
