HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS (Physical Components)

In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or “a cough” would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard.” Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.

LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.

SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:

Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.

DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge in detail including colour, consistency, appearance, odour etc.

1] Your Complaint:

(Use your own words as far as possible, but if you have recognized or diagnosed the condition, give this information also.) By answering as many of these questions as fully as possible, you are helping me to understand what your body and unconscious mind is conveying. This can help me find a remedy for you.)

Alright I will be looking at your case today. Depending on how busy clinic is I will either have a suggestion for you today or tomorrow.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok thanks!
 
Yarainaya 9 years ago
Almost done analysing the case. Has been a busy few days at clinic.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Alright this is how I translated your case into rubrics:

Nose, smell, acute, for tobacco smoke
Air, snowy, aggravates
Pain, in the bones
Desires solitude
Feels neglected
Aversion to sweets
Aggravation from oil
Aversion to alcohol
Weeps easily
Yielding disposition
Dependent on others

Sleep, position, abdomen
Aversion to pastry
Head, pain, running aggravates

This leads me to Pulsatilla as a remedy. Can you obtain Puls 30c and 200c in liquid form?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Hi,

I am going to try to get them

Thanks
 
Yarainaya 9 years ago
Hi,

I have found both of them, now how should i take them

Nadia
 
Yarainaya 9 years ago
You only need to use Puls 30c at this stage. Do not take the 200c.

1. Hit bottle 5 times.
2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of water. Stir thoroughly
3. Take 2 teaspoons into the mouth. Hold for 20 seconds and swallow.

This is one dose. Do this once each day for 3 days maximum. Stop if any of your symptoms noticeably worsen. Let me know the result after about 7 days.

Hi evocationer,

Here i am to give you some news about my case. I have taken the medicine as suggested and today is the 7th day.
Generally, i find that mentally my problems decreased, i am more confident, less lamenting about myself, and have more positive attitudes.
But with my post nasal drip, i don't find any change, my thick white mucus is still leaking all day long. It's been 2 years now that it's like that.
Hope to hear from you soon. I am very appreciative to what you do for me. Thanks a lot

This is how homoeopathic cure begins, from within. It slowly moves outwards over time to begin curing those symptoms in the more superficial layers of the person. AT this point, I want you to wait for another week and let me know what kind of changes have occurred. It is a good start to your treatment.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok, one more week to go!
 
Yarainaya 9 years ago
Hi Evocationer,

Here i am again to update my case.
So 6 days have gone and here are some points that i have noticed:

- Although i still have mucus dripping at the back of my nostrils all day long, it has become less thicker than usual.
- One day there was something like a cheese very smelly coming out of my nose, and i still feel that i have got some left there.
- Mentally, i can manage
