The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Multiple problems, Help
I am a 45 yr old woman. At the age of 18 I met with a burn accident whereby my anterior portion of the body suffered third degree burns. I was 5 months pregnant at the time. My son was born deaf and in due course I also lost my hearing and am wearing hearing aid since 1982. Thereafter I suffered from serious leg ulcers on and around my ankle in which the flesh used to be laid bare. It could not be diagnosed for 10 yrs during which I was on homeopathy. In 1987 I changed my doctor, and whenever he gave me Ars Iod in any potency, I would get fever and my ulcers would flare up. I also contracted Raynauds Syndrome in which my extremities both hands and feet used to get ice cold. In 1992 I also changed my family physician and he asked me to have ultrasound of my stomach. There was found gland TB on my liver. I took a course of TB medicines and slowly my ulcers contracted to a single one on my big toe. I suffered from this ulcer for a full year. There was talk of amputating my toe, but the surgeon I visited just cleaned the dry pus and I was prescribed antibiotics. Meanwhile I was also in contact with my homeopathy doctor who also gave medicines together with my allopathy ones and my ulcer dried up. In August 1994, one of the top homeopaths of the city gave me a single dose of Causticum 10M. After a few days I had an aneurysm in my brain. I was taken to Trivandrum, where Dr. Rout operated upon me and I was cured of it. Soon thereafter I got colitis. Severe pain and loose motions. I was on both allopathy and homeopathy and it was controlled but not really cured as my stomach on the right side is still swollen up and tender to touch. At times my colitis flares up but is controlled. I contracted Diabetes in 1999 July along with High blood pressure. At this instant I must say that my mother died of High BP and my grandfather (paternal) had diabetes but I am only the second one in the family of 25 to get diabetes. I got menopause in 2000 at the age of 40 and an ultrasound said that my uterus had shriveled due to the Raynauds. My Homeopathy Doctor expired in 1999 Jan. I personally feel that he had controlled my diabetes and BP with his medicines as once in 1997 I had contracted both which were cured within 2 weeks.Because of my raynauds my feet are so tender that I have to wear special slippers or sneakers to walk. My slippers are ordinary ones bought of the shelf, but there are few I can wear. Also I sweat a lot on my forehead. I get a bad cold if I feel hot or my feet get icy cold for any reason viz. acidity. I also sweat a lot in the summer. Even in winter my forehead is always damp with sweat. This phenomenon is from 1996 or so. My hands are really good conductors of the temperature warm in summer and cool in winter and my right fore finger gets blue with cold. Otherwise is it always cool to touch. I love spicy and sweet food, but dont like greasy food. If I fast, I must take salt in some way or I feel very low. My BP is around 160/100 after taking Tenoric 100 daily and sugar is around 190 after Glynase MF twice. I also suffer from acidity and get sick headaches from time to time which is cured by IrisV. 6 taken frequently. In case of any small infection my legs and calves ache for days. I get cramps on my calves or feet in bed if by chance they are open to cold, though I normally dont feel cold, especially if I am wearing socks. I hate the touch of wool or any coarse fabric on my skin.
I think I have covered all my symptoms. I am new to the forum, but have been going through the postings from the last week and thought one of you may be able to help atleast so that I can walk for sometime. At present it is restricted to around 250 m only.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I have been reading. Difficult to separate symptoms when one writes in one run-on paragraph. I am trying to put it in Word and separate your sentences. Sabra

Maya,
I read your post a number of times.
My immediate reaction was that this is a complicated case which will be difiicult to solve via the net.
I needed some time to go over it and assess matters.
It might need a few months to get things in order for you....and change of medication from time to time.
You had the TB, you had the burn and now you have BP and diabetes.There has also been skin flare up with Ars. Iodide.....it is a handful of problems..you have given a correct heading to your question.
But my staple food in life is : HOPE. ....LET IT BE YOURS TOO.
I will need detailed feed back after every round of medication.
Start with:
LYCOPUS VIRGINICUS Q (i.e. mother tincture....10 drops in 1/8 glass of water...three times a day).
Take it for a week.
However, record your BP level every day...give feed back. AND check sugar level at the end of the week.
Don't leave allopathic medicine for BP at this stage.
We will proceed from here.
best,
Pankaj Varma

yes pankaj my case was very complicated. Now am in a small city where i dunno any good doctors. colleagues here go to calcutta for treatment. i dont really know any good doctor in cal too. so am unable to consult and also go for only 2 days at a time. will mail you more details

Dear Pankaj, i am taking Cratageus Q 10 drops once after lunch and Syzygium Q 10 drops after lunch weekly alt with Uranium Nitrate 3 grains. In that case do i need to take Lycopus. I saw in Boericke it has nearly the same indications as Cratageus.
My problems are not that complicated, history is.
1. High BP 160/100 after the medicine. Yes it also goes down to 140/90 at times.
2. Diabetes 190 if tested without taking the Glynase. Fasing is normal
3. Raynauds Syndrome. this is the problem. the circulation in my hands and feet is very bad and any exertion is difficult. also if i walk for a shortbtime my soles get white which change to red if given rest.
4. The colitis: in this my rt side stomach aches quite a lot spreading to the thighs and can get loose motions at times. pain in liver area too.
this is the sum of my problems.

You need to see the drug picture of Lycopus Vir. in a MM and not on ABC.
It is a medicine speciifc for those who have " Diabetes with High BP."
Cratageus is good for the heart and helps in bringing down BP for heart patients.However, does not have any appreciable benefit in controlling diabetes.
So what you do now (which I have tried and found successful with many people) is:
Mix equal quantities of Cratageus Q and Lycopus Vir Q
...and take 20 drops of the mixture in 1/8 th glass of water ...three times a day.
Lycopus Vir will also give you relief from the abdominal pain due to colitis.

Also note ;
Since the heart is always at risk of adverse impact in case of a High BP patient, Cratageus is given to protect the heart.....not as a medicine by itself to brign down Blood Pressure.

Thanks again Pankaj. I saw the drug picture in the Boericke Materia Medica only. did not note about it being beneficial in BP with diabetics.
By the way I forgot to mention that I also have high triglycerides 275 when checked in July, but it was over 900 two years back, and also my total cholesterol is on the high side. I think this is why my doctor had given me Cratageus. Lycopus was also given a long time back in 30 potency, but dont remember when. will get it soon and try it.
Then should I stop Cratageus, Uranium Nitrate and Syzygium. The latter has really helped in controling my sugar.
At this Instant I wish all of you a happy Deepawali and a prosperous New Year.

I have suggested to you to continue with Cratageus. Also add Lycopus Vir. to it in equal quantity.
Will come back with more clarifications for you later.

Maya,
You did cause an unjustifed flutter !
I wanted to go back to Boericke's MM before posting my comments.
Here are the extracts:
Quote
LYCOPUS VIRGINICUS
Lowers blood pressure, reduces the rate of the heart and increases the length of systole to a great degree.
........
............
...............
.................
Urine: Profuse flow of limpid, watery urine, especially when the heart is most irritable; also scanty urine. Bladder feels distended when empty. .....Diabetes. .......Pain in testicles.
...........
..............
Unquote.
_______________
Lycopus Vir covers both high blood pressure and DIABETES.
Cratageus covers only heart related problems and lowers blood pressure.
I have used the mixture of Lycopus Vir. and Cratageus for patients and found it useful where there is a combination of High BP and Diabetes.
Some years back this was suggested to me for use by a homeopathic doctor friend.
My postings are based on well researched facts.
Best wishes,
Happy Diwali to you and all in your family.

Are your feet painful?
Is there accumulation of fluid in the feet?
Is there swelling of feet?

My feet swell up if hanging for some time, but not much.
no fluid accumulation.
Actually during my burn accident i was given a lot of blood, glucose, saline etc. as at that time there was no butterfly, they used to put each needle separately, sometimes 4-5 times to find the vein, and as such my capillaries got damaged. i also suffered from leg ulcers for 10 years before it could be diagonised. so my feet became quite weak and cold. the soles burn as if walking on burning coals, but now controlled with methylcobol.

Touched the send button by mistake...
further...
cant sit in one place for long.. can stay on my feet for 2-3 hours, but cant walk.
Lachesis 200 once in a while. because of poor circulation my legs get numb very quickly. cannot bear even a chaddar on it at times. it gets numb at night then. but my quilt does not put pressure on my feet then no numbness.
One peculiar symptom... my forehead sweats a lot even in winter. started after my brain aneurysm.
Pankaj thanks for yr suggestion of Lycopus.
after this till date have had no headache. but am unable to check my BP as i dont know any doctor in my city. Just come here 3 months back and know no one here.
but am taking lycopus with cratageus only once after lunch. Is it ok??
Sorry am troubling you a lot..

Lycopus and Cratageus ...take atleast twice in a day.
They will bring in more improvement than you think.
As you have reported the headaches have gone....so the improvement is setting in.
Just a suggestion, there are BP meters you can buy from pharmacists.....Omoron, Citizen (Japanese) and one German Company....are available. These a electronic meters with +/- 3 % accuracy.
However, don't measure BP too often....will create un-necassary worry on your mind.
To do it once in a while is okay!
Troubling. No! I do this work and palce it at the feet of my BABA.
It is done without making any distinctions of caste, religion, creed etc. etc. etc.
All humanity is one. There is a relationship.
