Frequent Diverticulitis _{Page 2 of 7}

No have not yet taken 3rd dose of Lachesis. Ok, will take Nux now & tonight.
Thanks

Hi,
Details on the diverticulitis/pain:

It is infection of the colon. My pain is only on the left lower abdomen when an infection occurs, not always. In general, once in a while will feel some stretching feeling on the affected area. I had been taking Antibiotics whenever the infection occurs. The infection lately had been too frequent, every few months. Everybody has diverticules in their intestines but when some food particle gets stuck etc. it causes infection/diverticulitis, in my case just more active.

If I get the diverticulitis i.e. infection of the colon, the pain is only on the lower left abdomen, abdomen gets more bloated and will hurt if I press locally. If not addressed immediately, will further aggravate and become stabbing pain and can't even walk, have to hold my abdomen and get fever. CAT Scans have shown inflammation in the local area.

Very rarely during small bowel blockage have had pain in the middle of the abdomen when felt like a pressure cooker. This apparently is caused by diverticulitis.

During my recent colonoscopy, where they give anesthesia and insert a camera/scope through the rectal area, everything was fine except a length of about 7" having inflammation indicating an eminent diverticulitis or having one recently occurred. Also, mentioned about the minor hemorrhoids. Everything else was fine.

I have taken sometime off & relaxing at home, eating home food, before had taken out of town assignment and I am sure that is helping ease the issue.

I do not have Geranium & will have to be special ordered, not available locally.

Thanks

If I order Geranium on Monday, it will take a week to 10days to arrive.

will do!

Hi,
Took 2 doses of Nux Vom 200 yesterday as directed. Missed the Natrum Mur 6X, not sure if that was to be taken along.

Slept a little better, may be less dreams, no neck pain & the dullness / foggy head has cleared up. This foggy head yesterday was quite similar but of lower intensity as during my panic attack days.

Abdomen showed drastic difference after 1st dose of Nux but was again heavily boated around afternoon & evening. Can't say as of now any more changes, will have to monitor. May be more bloated after an hour or so of eating. BP was little better yesterday and about same this morning as any other previous mornings. Was ready for bowel movement immediately after getting up in the morning .. major change today.
Nasal discharge is colorless, very sticky ... blowing nose a few times a day.

Thanks for all the help.

Hello,
Not much to report.
Sleep still not great, wake up after 30mins to 1hr on going to sleep in the night & wake up completely fresh. Then go back to sleep though. In the morning wake up early, feel fresh but within an hour feel like going back to sleep, feel sleepy. Was itching the legs frequently in the night.

Bowel movement back to original, did not go early this morning like yesterday.

Abdomen still distended, fullness, bloated. Feels lighter when not eaten for more than 3-4hrs.

Nasal discharge may be better, not as sticky as before, quantity of nasal discharge is less.
BP slightly elevated than yesterday, back to original.

Appreciate all your help.

P.S.: Had taken CV and Nux as directed.

Hello,
Update Nov. 5th, 2019:

Abdomen feels lighter, now even after eating felt lighter than before. To assist further, I have been eating very light & trying to lower quantity / portions. Really need to get better soon. Stretching feeling in abdomen not observed.

Could feel gas moving around in the abdomen yesterday. Bowel improvement in quantity/bulkiness .... think that pushing out more than what I am eating.

BP little better.
Nasal discharge better, less frequency & quantity, cannot say if all 100% ok

Mental dullness & kind of dizziness feeling/light headed type but not really dizziness, or should I say confusion or not clear 100% thinking still there but better than before. I can be wrong but sometimes think that the gas goes up & makes me feel like that.
Leg itchiness still there, no improvement from yesterday.
Can't say for sure, but maybe energy level may be slightly better.

Appreciate all your time & efforts in assisting me
Thanks a lot!

Leg Pictures of the affected areas, front, back & sides. My Dad used to have eczema? on the ankles & foot. My sister had rashes etc on her ankles / lower leg too.

I have always used various oils only on the affected areas. However, used some extremely low steroid cream and antibiotics for few days only, last month & then stopped.

Thanks!

Ok, not able to attach/upload files, does not take pdf and jpg files are bigger than 64K. Can I email them to you?

After Lachesis the head was too messy but can try again. The itchiness was better. This skin ailment has major itchiness & they say to cure it, reduce itching on the skin. I would scratch the affected and dead skin/scales would come off & skin would bleed. Had applied Dettol a lot which helped.

Sorry, don't have your email ID

Just emailed you the leg pictures of the affected area. Thanks!

Well, felt itching had reduced after Lachesis and as such less scratching & dead skin coming off. No other change observed.
The skin ailment as identified by the dermatologist is called, "Lichen Amyloidosis". Thx

As per the dermatologist this is an immune system issue where the skin cells keep multiplying at more rapid pace, similar to sinus allergies.
