Epidydmal cyst _{Page 3 of 5}

Since he last dose of Natrum mur 200, about 5 days ago following changes in symptom were noted
Mild irritation in throat. Has to hawk up phlegm which is mostly whitish, though not very thick. Early morning its colour is pale yellow and that is slightly thicker. All saltish in taste.
Has not been able to have deep sleep. Feel drowsy at night, but would not be able to sleep easily. For at least three days sleep only for about 3-4 hours and that too not very deep. Fortunately not tired during the day.
Has mild constipation
Had a sensation of cramp on upper part of calves. Its sensation clear on lying down.
On other aspects I donot find any change

After about 4 days of taking three doses of Apis Mel 200, I feel the epidydimal cyst feels a little softer though no significant size change yet. I had a bit of cough, continuing from after Natrum mur dose, with a bit of whitish saltish phlegm arising from upper throat in the morning. Second consecutive day, I had headache right in the morning, which started becoming worse by 10-11 Am forcing me to take a pain killer (Ibuprofen). Mind slightly saddish towards evening, but better after a walk of about 40 minutes. But this could also be because this is monsoon period with cloudy rainy days.

Indeed I am not blaming the medicine for minor things, but thought appropriate to keep you posted.

The cyst appears somewhat softer now and its size as measured through ultrasound several months earlier was 4.5X2.4X2.2 cm

There was never a pain on the left testicle and around i.e. with the cyst. However, right testicle is sensitive to touch. Even if mildly pressed it pains.

On a relative scale, it is some thing like change from raw plum to one like beginning to ripe. Essentially earlier the outer skin seemed quite stretched and now it seems relaxed. Difficult to quantify better.

Sir, I have completed 5 days of calcarea fluor 6x and waited for another few days for symptoms to settle or identify. I get a feeling that the epidydmal cyst seems to be softening further, though reduction in size is not yet identifiable. I have earlier used similarity to ripening of a plum. From an earlier just beginning to ripen, it is further progressed towards ripening. Intuitively I feel we are on the right path, though the right testicle which had been pushed up by the cyst is still up. Not much change in other general symptoms is noted, though occasionally I feel slightly sad towards evening. I feel better after about half an hour walk. But this symptom could also be due to cloudy weather here these days.

Now almost after a week, it seems things have folded back. The softness of the cyst is gone back to earlier somewhat harder feature. Another symptom for last four days, there is a intermittent dull headache. It seems like due to some kind of gastric problem. After some release of gas, the headache seems to vanish to come back again after an hour or so. Stomach feels (though actually it not that bad)but feels like bloated immediately after eating anything. Non-continuous sleep such as got up 3:30 AM and could not go back to sleep for more than a hour or so.

My feeling is that it has to do with stomach disorder, though I have not yet gone to an allopathic doctor to seek an opinion.

I just went to see a allopathic doctor and he checked my BP. It is 140/90 and he suspects that my headache is because of higher BP.

Gas pressure is felt in full stomach, sometimes can hear gas movement sounds (talking stomach !). The smell of the gas is very foul, particularly on the day and time of headache.

Breakfast is a cup of papaya and some bread with some vegetable and milk.


Lunch is same as ever, vegetarian bread with vegetable and curds and some fruit (pears or apple).

Medicine: only pain killer Ibuprofen.

While in headache it is difficult to concentrate on something. Tend to be more forgetful. But when no headache, mind is calm or cheerful. I might also mention that allopathic doctor asked me to take a hyper-acidity medicine. I took that today and there is no headache.

May I also take carbo veg 200 for three days or wait till three day course of Allopathy is over ?

I completed three days of carbo veg after the allopathic stuff.

Feeling better now though BP is 140/90.

Have been advised to start BP allopathic medicine but I am avoiding so far.

Mind: Often feel absence of mind. Lost in train of thoughts which keep changing. Otherwise calm.

Generally not having deep sleep for last couple of weeks. I am sleeping for almost six hours, but feel it is not deep.

Done with three days of Kali Carb 200 for three days as advised. My feeling is all the symptoms improved, except that in between for three days I had a bout of influenza (which may be seasonal). Amongst my general features, I do not remember having mentioned that my father had tuberculosis about 30 years ago and before that could be controlled I being close to him was exposed. That is what the tests showed, though it as doctors says is harmless (dormant) till it shows up. At that some friends had advised me to take a dose of tuberclinum 1M after every six months. I did that for several years may be 10 years or more. My father's TB had shown on his knee. That is for your background information.

Coming back to present, I restate that I generally feel better on almost all the parameters after kali carb, even perhaps for Blood Pressure (though I have not checked but I can feel so).

May be about an year back after several years
