Kind Attention pl., Dr. Evocationer !
Hi,Mentioned below are the symptoms of my 79 year old father who has been suffering of late from severe joint pain hindering movement. He has been suffering from multiple tooth problems and visits the dentist very often. His toe nails and thumb nails are deformed.Earlier, he used to be very active and had difficulty only while trying to get up from a cushion-seat. Nowadays walking itself has become a problem. He has chronic constipation, gastric ulcer, Conjunctivitis and Total loss of appetite.
Very sensitive to cold air (gets pain in the part exposed to fan / cold air) and feels itching in scalp while traveling in a vehicle.
He greatly believes in homeopathy and pl. help him get relieved of his problems.Thanks in advance !

Oh I see. My apologies.
Can he fill in one of my questionnaires? It takes awhile as I am a classical homoeopath and require a detailed case before I prescribe.

CASE PRESENTATION FOR CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING
General Guidelines:
1. Try to be as descriptive as possible. When describing pains or sensations use descriptions along the lines of feels as if someone is squeezing it with their hand or it is like an insect crawling around inside or it is as if someone is standing over me threatening to kill me. Long descriptions are always better than short ones. One word answers are difficult to use successfully.
2. Another important part of symptom description for homoeopathy are the modalities. These are situations, events, activities or conditions which modify the symptom in some way. We usually refer to this as what makes them better or worse (amelioration/aggravation). The situation may actually provoke the symptom into appearing, make it vanish altogether, or just increase or decrease it in some way. Modalities are vital information for prescribing.
Modalities are typically related to (but not exclusively) the following situations:
A. Temperature, weather
B. Time (day, night, specific times, frequency, periodicity, season)
C. Position, activity
D. Emotions, thoughts
E. Food and drink
F. Drugs, medication
3. How the symptom is perceived is important too odour, appearance, sound, touch. What colour is it, what is its texture? For gestures, describe what it looks like the patient is doing, or what you feel you are doing while making the movement eg. they look like they are swatting flies or I feel like something is pushing my hand upwards or it is like I stick a fork in an electrical outlet which throws my body backwards. Description it is key to accurate prescriptions.
4. When did the symptom or set of symptoms start? The apparent cause can be useful in determining the remedy, although it is not of the same importance as the previous factors. It may have been a specific event, a disease, an accident or even an emotional experience.
5. Use your own words. Do not copy phrases or descriptions found in our various remedy pictures. Try not to use other peoples ideas or thoughts or words. If you are reporting on behalf of someone else, report their exact words, however you can also report your own observations of them (not opinions).
6. Does the symptom occur alongside another specific symptom? Do particular symptoms only occur together? Does a particular symptom occur with a particular thought or emotion? For example, a headache that always comes with visual disturbances, or stomach pain that appears alongside anger, or anxiety that makes you feel like running down the street screaming.
7. Each complaint should be described fully before going on to describe another complaint. Try not to mix different symptoms or complaints together. Each modifying feature must be clearly attached to a particular symptom/set of symptoms. Any mistake you make here is a mistake the homoeopath will also then make.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DESCRIPTION
(Please spend the most time on this section and give DETAILED answers - the homoeopathic remedy is very often decided on the basis of the mental and emotional state of the patient !)
1. What are the issues in your life that bother you the most. Not physical issues but mental or emotional ones. List each one separately and describe why each one bothers you so much.
2. What emotions are the most troublesome for you? What situations provoke these emotions. How do these emotions make you act? Do you feel any ill effects from expressing or not expressing these emotions.
3. What incidents in your life have had a deep impact on you? Describe each incident in detail and how they made you feel? What did you do in those situations? What effect have they had on your life?
4. What are you afraid of? Especially important are phobias, but it might be objects, situations or events that just produce a high level of anxiety. How do you manage your fears? How do you react when confronted with these fears? What would be the worst situation for you to be put in that would provoke these fears? You may need to talk about each fear/anxiety separately.
5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?
6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they?
7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?
8. When you experience your fears, persistent thoughts, or difficult emotions, what kind of sensation or reactions do you get in your body?
9. When did you feel at your best in your life? What was that like for you? If you imagine the complete opposite of this feeling or moment, what would that be like?
10. Do you feel like you are stuck in a pattern of behavior, especially when trying to deal with your problems? What is this pattern? THIS IS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND GIVE DETAILS.

13. List 5 negative things about yourself. Are there any situations where this negative attribute becomes positive (is useful)?
14. Do you have any reoccurring dreams? Describe them in detail, including any feelings that come while dreaming. Dreams are very important in unlocking the deepest truth of a patients case, but it is not enough to simply describe them in a sentence. Give as much information as you feel comfortable doing.
15. Did you have any reoccurring dreams as a child, or earlier in your life? Describe those in detail including any feelings that came with them.
16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?

Knees are swollen. More severe in the left leg. Unable to fold left leg, need to step with right leg and then have to drag the left leg while walking. cannot sit with legs crossed-over, cannot squat. mild white patches and varicose veins in legs
(more in left leg). Pain is not persistent but comes and goes. Pain in right shoulder
and right middle finger. Fidgety all over especially legs.
Stomach:
Severe constipation. Bowel movement only once in 4-5 days with never get done
feeling.loud odorless flatulence. total lack of hunger and appetite. Gastric ulcer without pain but weight is steady.
Nails and teeth:
Right thumb nail deformed for the past 5-6 months, both big toe nails are deformed and ingrown for several years, other toe nails are bent. Jaw shape is changed because of mouth breathing. Many teeth have got decayed and RCT has been done.
Eyes:
Conjunctivitis for several years. Cataract surgery done for both the eyes. Cream colored discharge from left eye since one year.

Slight relief from applying hot oil and hot water. Pain is aggravated by cold air. Pain is aggravated by movement (walking) even slightest exertion. More in winter. Walking on
cold tiles aggravates pain, walking on cold tiles using slippers helps a bit. Cannot get up after being seated in a cushion. Rest provides slight relief and eating provides a temporary relief too.Cold air makes legs numb. Pain is more in left leg and right shoulder.
3. How the symptom is perceived is important too odour, appearance, sound, touch. What
colour is it, what is its texture? For gestures, describe what it looks like the patient
is doing, or what you feel you are doing while making the movement eg. they look like
they are swatting flies or I feel like something is pushing my hand upwards or it is
like I stick a fork in an electrical outlet which throws my body backwards. Description
it is key to accurate prescriptions.
4.
Suffered a head injury while riding a two-wheeler (right side of the head above the eyebrows to the outer area of right eye) on Sep 2013 and had got some sutures. Scan showed normal results. The pains described above started about six months back. Not sure whether because of the accident.
5. Use your own words. Do not copy phrases or descriptions found in our various remedy
pictures. Try not to use other peoples ideas or thoughts or words. If you are reporting
on behalf of someone else, report their exact words, however you can also report your

only occur together? Does a particular symptom occur with a particular thought or
emotion? For example, a headache that always comes with visual disturbances, or stomach
pain that appears alongside anger, or anxiety that makes you feel like running down the
street screaming.

complaint. Try not to mix different symptoms or complaints together. Each modifying
feature must be clearly attached to a particular symptom/set of symptoms. Any mistake

Alright, looking over these symptoms, I think I would consider Lycopodium as the first remedy to try. Sulphur certainly came up quite strongly as well, but I think Lyc suits the case overall.
I would start with either Lycopodium 6c OR LM1(0/1). After a period of time, I would probably ask you to use 12c OR LM2(0/2).
Please obtain these as Oral Dosing Liquid.
If you instead have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper to make your own liquid dose. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.
If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.
1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand
2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water
3. Stir very thoroughly
4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.
This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.
If any old symptoms reappear, or any current symptoms worsen, this is a GOOD sign in most cases. DO NOT SUPPRESS them with other kinds of medication unless you are in real danger (which is a highly unlikely reaction to a remedy).
However, if you are on regular medication it is also important that you do NOT stop taking this. Once it is determined the medicine has acted beneficially, we can look at reducing such medication if safe to do so. Regular medication in this instance is NOT defined as other homoeopathic medicines which MUST be stopped.
For either 6c or LM1, I would get you to give him a dose every day, and let me know what has happened by the end of a 7 day period.

Thanks much for the reply !
Since Lycopodium 1M alone is available at his place, can you pl. suggest the dosage? Thanks !

1M is not appropriate. It is much too strong a potency. I suggest starting very low and possibly working your way up. 6c or 12c or LM 1 or LM 2 only. 6c and 12c are usually quite easy to obtain.

Hmmm...that is a strange range of potencies to have. 30c unfortunately will be the closest. Hopefully it is not too high. He will only need 1 dose of that though, at least for the moment. Wait about 4-5 days after the dose and report any changes.

Actually 30 is 3x at our place. We do not have 'C' series of potencies at our place.
What we can get are 3X (30), 6X (60), 200 and 1M.

3x is nothing like 30c. That is an extremely low crude dose.
If the bottle says 30, then it is 30C, else it would say 30x (which is an unlikely potency to see as 30c is a standard).

Sorry to post here. David you are an exceptional thinker. I feel my case is time bound. There is an improvement of situation after taking 2nd time cannibis indica 30c, less requirement of stress/ anxiety allopathy medicine. I seriously think we should continue treatment in the same line David is thinking. Happy new year. Bapi

Hi,
Thanks much for looking into my father's case. He has completed his advised dose of Lycopodium. Pl. advise reg. the next steps.
Loss of appetite seems to be aggravated. When under Lycopodium, he did not take any homoeopathic drugs, but since it took long for the medicine to reach him, he had been taking Rhus tox 1M (Morning) and Bryonia 1M (Night) and his leg pain is 90% better. However he had stopped taking them four days before starting Lycopodium. Pl. advise reg. the next steps. Thanks !
