Fulminant Hepatitis A _{Page 9 of 14}

Hello Dr Reva,

Took my third dose of Phytolacca 6c, will take last one tomorrow morning.

I feel the inflammation is a bit better but it's still there. The left foot still looks more red and big than the right one.

There's less "water" or liquid on the painful area, whereas before it looked filled with some liquid.

If I dont take the ibuorofen, it starts getting painful again. But I feel Phytolacca worked, but to what extent, I cannot say...

I'm sorry I told you big toe, but this is where i have the pain exactly :

What should I do now?

Hello,

No improvement after 5 doses of Phytolacca 6c...

Pain and stiffness are still there, the whole foot is swollen and larger than the other one.

If i dont take anti inflammatories, the pain gets worse and I cant walk.

Dr Reva,

Please help.

The pain is under control with Advil (Ibupeofe') 400 but the whole hallux valgus is swollen and red. There wasn't any skin condition there in the beginning but now there is a red/purple rash a'd little spots and it seems thzre's water inside.

What should I do?

Is thzre any other way to ccontac you, as you don't seem to visit the forum anymore...

The latest blood test shows an elevated CRP, elevated CPK (but the doctor doesnt understand the elevated CPK in this case) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is also elevated.

The GP, the dermatologist and the rhumatoligist, all three told me, "we don't know what you have but it seems serious". Tomorrow morning, I've been advised to go to the hospital... I'm quite worried to be honest Dr Reva.

This all started when I started taking a combo of psyllium/flax seeds/chia seeds at night, with the minimum of water, whereas usually it is advised to take it with a lot of water. I took it with a lot of water to have firmer stools, so that the three seeds absorbed water inside me.

Could that have caused water retention, or dehydration, or inflammation of the spleen?

Also during that period, I ate brown bread morning, afternoon and evening, whereas before, I used to have rice.

The pain is kind of under control with anti-inflammatories but only if I take them.
The swelling is still there, the whole area is red/purple and there are small tiny bumps on that area.

Also, for a week, I woke up with pain in one finger in lin left hand, but this morning, I had pain in a lot of fingers, both hands, in the middle of the fingers and at the bottom of the fingers.
Also, right hand second finger, I have a cutaneous thing that I can't describe for a week. I'm psoting the photos below.

I'm posting pictures for you to see :

Today morning, still pain and swelling on hallux valgus, pain in both hanfs and finger, can't move them without hurting, pain in right knee which is making it difficult to walk...

I don't k'ow what's happening to my body...

So for example :

2pm : Phosphorus

4pm : Arsenic

6pm : Phosphorus

Right?

They have decided to admit me in hospital tomorrow.

Should I take their medicines that they will give me or not?

They havent run any test yet, but rhey suspect spondylosis also called spondyloarthritis. I'm shocked how suddenly they can say I have this disease.

I tjink you're right, it's a spleen disorder.

Should I also stop gluten and dairy products?

I will do that! :-)

Today the doctor put a syringe in ly right knee and took out quite a lot of yellow liquid from the knee to relieve the pain and to get the liquid tested.

Staryed Phosphorus and Arsenic today, two doses each till now, will report tomorrow how I feel.

Hello Dr Reva.

A little update for today.

They've admitted me, running blood tests and took out fluid again from my right knee.

They gave me strong anti-inflammatories yesterday.

Today, they are gonna give me antibiotics through veins. They are not sure there is an infection, they just suspect it, but until we get the results, they want to be on the safe side.

Also took two doses of Phosphorus, and two doses of Arsenic.

Tosay, I have taken one dose of Phosphorus and one of Arsenic till now, and just took another dose of Phosphorus.

The pain in the foot is much better... The swelling is still ththe, and so is the weird aspect of the doot, but it seems better than before.

Today there is no pain in the buttock or in knee. No pain in fingers, a little bit of pain in hand but much much better than yesterday.

I slept like a baby, I woke up like a baby, and felt fresh and energetic this morning, which had not happened for a few days, or weeks.
The complexion also looked better.

I don't know if it's still yesterday's anti-inflammatories effect or the two homeoapthic remedies, but there is IMPROVEMENT! and i'm really happy about it.

Hello Dr Reva.

So as I told you, I was given 2 grams of Rocephin antibiotics through veins yesterday.

6 hours after the antibiotics, I developped a fever around 38.5 degrees, which got better later in the night as they gave me a pain killer which also makes the fever better.

They're not giving me anti-inflammatories anymore as they are not comaptible with antibiotics.

Yesterday, I took a total of 3 doses of Phosphorus 30 and 3 eoses of Arsenic 30.

Today, I woke up with little pain in the foot, it's much better than before, but the oedema and weird purple thing is still there. But overall it seems better.

Today morning, there was no pain in hands, fingers or knee.

The buttock pain is still there but only when I cough.

I woke up feeling fresh and energetic, the complexion looks good also.

I developped a dry cough 5-6 days ago,it got worse yesterday especially at night. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it comes from deep inside. But it's not something that is bothering me too much. The foot is my priority.

Overall, I feel good today.

Hello Dr Reva.

I took 2 doses of each yesterday.

Today, woke up fresh and good. No pain in hands/feet, a little bit of pain in foot but inflammation and weird aspect of the skin is still there, and a little pain in right knee.

Also, I forgot to tell you, on my foot, during the attack, I put ice packs. The purple thing on the right foot, could it be an ice pack burn? Because the first two weeks of the attack, there was no change in skin, no pustules or purple thing, the foot was swollen and red but not with these weird things. Could that be a burn?

The cough got worse yesterday, coming deep from the lungs... There's no mucus, something very very little.

Overall, I feel good.

Please tell me how many doses today.



Also, here is a copy/paste of what I found in a homeopathy book. What's your view on it? Is there a link with my case?

Here is the text :

Abrotanum
The name Abrotanum brings to one’s mind the subject of transfer of a disease from one organ to another. In English, this process is known as metastasis. It means that the disease shifts from one part of the body to another. For instance, in the case of mumps, the parotid glands (situated below the ear) swell, and when the disease becomes suppressed at this place, it transfers itself to the reproductive organs. There are many reasons for it being suppressed, for example it could be due to the use of antibiotics, or through local application of poultices. Sometimes it could be due to sudden exposure to cold in high fever. Among all medicines used in the migrating type of ailments, Abrotanum is one of the most salient ones. Sometimes, by the suppression of diarrhoea, the patient experiences sudden severe pain in the joints and at other times, the heart may be affected. Similarly, sudden cessation of menstruation may result in mental or other ailments. We shall continue talking about the migration of a disease from one place to another in the context of different remedies so that one may be able to understand well, the indication and usage of remedies for shifting the illness back to where it started. If a patient suffers from gout or rheumatism, yet at the same time experiences restlessness as if the blood through the heart seems to be scraping the heart, and also he has Epistaxis or blood in the urine, then he is very likely to get cured by the use of Abrotanum. The basic nature of the Abrotanum patient is that loose frequent stools (diarrhoea) give him relief by excreting the harmful products that would have otherwise involved the joints. In such a patient, Abrotanum will also gradually cure diarrhoea as well as joint pains. If the joint pains are suppressed by using some remedies, or by local heat application and the patient contracts pleurisy instead of diarrhoea, then it becomes imperative for the Homoeopath to retrace the course of sickness back to its origin. If the joint pains had preceded the development of pleurisy (inflammation of the outer lining of the lung which causes pain on deep breathing and much more so on coughing), then surely the remedy in this case would be Abrotanum. Abrotanum will cure the pleurisy but may initially cause the recurrence of joint pains, which will eventually be cured by continued use of Abrotanum, Insha Allah. Abrotanum is also very useful in the generalised wasting disease of the children (marasmus) when its basic features are also present. For the treatment of marasmus in children, Aethusa, Natrum Mur and Calcaria Carb are also well known remedies. In Calcaria Carb, the wasting affects the legs, while in Abrotanum it starts at the legs but extends to the upper body. This symptom alone is sufficient to suggest that Abrotanum is the remedy to be given in potency 30, three times a day. This could bring complete cure, by the Grace of God. If the joint pains get better but the heart becomes affected, one should not ignore Abrotanum in addition to the other remedies for the heart. Sometimes on the sudden cessation of diarrhoea, joint pains and bleeding piles develop, Abrotanum would still be the right choice. Such a patient feels excessive cold. His symptoms aggravate in cold and humid weather. He often complains of backache worsening at night. The backache of Abrotanum always worsens at night irrespective of any specific time, but the backache of Kali Carb is specific for late night or very early morning hours around 3-4 am. In such a patient, if we find the core symptom of ‘amelioration by onset of diarrhoea’, then the back pain will also be cured by Abrotanum. The general improvement of symptoms with the onset of diarrhoea is also present in Natrum Sulph and Zinc, but to make proper diagnosis, their salient features should also be present in a patient. Abrotanum pains are sometimes of cutting or piercing nature, which can involve the ovaries, in addition to the joints. A patient having pains at the ovaries and the joints and backache, aggravated at night, the symptoms subsiding with the onset of diarrhoea, will also immensely benefit from Abrotanum as the cure for her infertility. Potency: 30

Hello Dr Reva.

I get your point.

I did take Lycopodium during this attack, 3-4 doses in 200c before talking to you, 2 weeks ago. Could it have caused aggravation ?

An update from today :

Pain in left hand palm at the same spot, and in 4th finger of of right hand.

Pain in the foot still there but the inflammation seems better. Of course it is still swollen and qtill can't wear shoes or walk normally.

Pain in right knee is back, the doctor says he can feel fluid has accumulated in it.

Overall mood, energy and complexuon is good.

Cough is not better but it's not somzthing that is hurting and there is no mucus. But I did cough a lot last night and while I talk I cough, and when I swell my lungs, I can't hold my breath because it makes me cough.

Today, the doxtor will tell whether we continue antibiotics or we we start strong anti-inflammatories.

Overall things are better but still abnormal, like can't put a shoe because the foot is too swollen, and when I go and walk in the garden of the hospital, I can walk but it's not the natural walk I used to have.

What's next? Continue Phosphorus and Arsenic?

Also, I took some homeopathic medixines when you were not active on the forum, could they have caused this/or aggravated my case?
[Edited by syria on 2018-04-17 07:33:56]

Oh... I might not get Bryonia today but tomorrow, is it okay?

What's the wet dose?

The doctor came back in the afternoon, final results are here, no bacteria found so they will stop the antibiotics.

2 diagnosis made by the doxtor here :

1 ) It's a reactional arthritis due to an old infection I caught 2-3 months ago, which got eliminated, but it caused arthritis in joints also called Reactional Arthritis. The treatment in allopathy is symptomatic, they treat symptoms with strong anti-inflammatories for 2-3 months and they will also give me one shot of cortisone steroids tomorrow in the right knee to ease the inflamamtion.

2 ) If it comes again later, and becomes chronic, it is a chronic form of arthritis which is called Spondyloarthritis. I really really hope it is not this and it never comes back again...

My questions to you :

- Why does your diagnosis and theirs is different? They call it arthritis, you call it a spleen disorder. Allopathy doesnt believe in spleen inflammation ?

- Are cortisone steroids shots compatible with homeopathic treatment? Because steroids basically supresses something in the body, and homeopathy brings it out. Is it okay to take both?

Also here is a photo of my foot today. It looks much much better and the swelling looks better :

Is it okay to take it in liquid dilution and put drops in water and drink or I must get pellets and make my own wet dose?
[Edited by syria on 2018-04-18 04:19:28]

Dear Dr Reva,

I haven't started Bryonia yet, but the cough is cleared since yesterday...

What was Bryonia prescribed for?

Should I still take it if the cough is cleared?
[Edited by syria on 2018-04-19 10:16:57]

Dr Reva,

The cough is completely gone, ecen before I started Beyonia, should I still take it?
