Suffering from Chronic Urticaria since more than 12 years

Hi kadva,
thanks for your reply.
I am already taking some homepathic medicines(Kalimur 6x and some other medicine), do you suggest to stop them and try this medicine suggested by you or I can take medicine prescribed by you in parallel?
Also, the medicine you have suggested is to be taken as liquid or pills? If liquid then how many drops in one dose, with water without water, if with water then how much water?
If pills then how many pills in one dose?
Please let me know,
Many thanks in advance.

Thanks kadwa,
I am starting your prescription, let us hope for the best.

Thanks again,

Hi kadwa,
One more question - at what time I have to take the medicine?

1st dose - before breakfast(empty stomach), 2nd dose before lunch, 3rd dose before dinner

OR

1st dose - after BF, 2nd dose post lunch, 2rd dose post dinner

plz let me know.

Hi kadwa,
I have taken the medicine as prescribed by you (I took the medicine for 2 days - 3 times a day), and here is the result:
There was less sensation in the body when I was taking the medicine and the same feeling was there for some more days(around 7 days) after that same itching sensation started. As I feel comfortable in cool weather and the weather was nice when I took the medicine so I an unable to conclude that the medicine was that effective. Now I feel the same sensation and itching(I am not taking any medicine as of now), please suggest.

I have tried to give as much information as possible, please see the responses below:

Questionnaire for Psycho Analysis


1. Describe your main sufferings and other related or unrelated sufferings in your own words with exact sensations, locations, modalities and probable causes.

I am suffering from chronic urticaria (it was told to me by one homeopathic doctor and then I checked on internet and found that symptoms of my problem are very much alike this desease) since long time. Initially I tried allopathic medicine (for 2-3 years) then ayurvedic (around 3-4 years) & now I am using homeopathy since 5-6 years.
It started with insect bite infection (dots filled with white color fluid appeared after severe itching) on my left thigh. I took allopathic medicine and the infection was gone but then severe itching started all over my body(majorly on my back during night time). I used to scratch my back like anything and after sometime(15 minute to ½ hour) I felt like my back is burning.
Initially there was no swelling after itching but after some time it started. Wherever I rub & scratch on my body, the color of the skin at that particular spot becomes red and also the temperature of that particular spot goes high(or I feel so).

I used to play cricket a lot and when this desease started, I felt pain while fielding the ball or even in catching the ball. My hands used to swell while fielding and there was pain also. The same thing still persist and when I hit even mildly on something, I feel severe pain at the spot in contact.

I feel bearable sensation all over my body(normally sensation will not be there if I am taking medicines regularly but rubbing on skin will start itching) and itching will start if I rub anywhere or any part of my skin comes in contact with synthetic clothing.

I feel comfortable in cold weather, don't like noise,brightness, can't wear synthetic clothing. I get affected by cold frequently (whenever there is change in climate) and if I scratch anywhere on my body then red color swelling (if I write my name on my skin then it will swell-up and you can read the name clearly) will be there with lot of itching. This swelling will go-off after sometime (around ½ hour).

I am not sure about probable cause but my father had mild skin allergy, my mother is allergic to allopathic medicine and my elder sister is allergic to dust.

My skin is hairy (lots of hairs on hands,legs) and this is also a reason that touching on skin results in itching.

2. Write an essay on yourself as a person. Describe your nature, likes and dislikes, fears and dreams, your ambition in life, your inner-most desires, your place in society etc.

I am a soft person who do not like fighting with anyone(may be I am not courageous enough). I get angry on anything & everything and can not control my anger.I like sweet dish a lot and don’t like spicy stuff. I am helpful in nature,very emotional (I feel really sad if I see someone in pain, people without home, old age beggars or any emotional situation). I fear of getting in fight with anyone(real fight not verbal) and avoid such situations.

I am satisfied with what I have achieved but desire to have all modern luxuries (own house, costly car & so on). I was very much attached to love of my life who is not my lifepartner. I was disappointed of not having her in my life as lifepartner and though with time I have learn to cope-up but have not succeded in forgetting her(and hence I am living my life but not really enjoying).
I love to be punctual and get irritated on anyone who comes late.
I do not know swimming and one of my worst dreams is where I am seeing myself being drowned in water. My inner-most desire to have my own business so that I can work as I want without any fear of losing my job. I have taken homeloan 2 years back and since then it has become one of my fear of what will happen if I loose my job(though I am one of the best performers but still).
I belong to village and I am regarded as highly successful person in my society and I am really proud of that.
I do not have many friends but I am loyal and helpful with my handful of friends.



3. What is your profession? Do you enjoy yourself at work? Is it a profession you have willingly chosen? If not, what would it be as per your choice?
I work in IT industry in stressed situations(long working hours & lot of pressure). I do not njoy at work and this is why I dream to start my own business. I was not really sure what profession to choose as for a person like me who hails from village(where there is no guidance) it really does not matter but there was a dream inside to become a policemen(I tried without success). Why I thought of becoming a policemen, may be to have power so that I can cover-up the non-courageous innerself.

4. What would you like to change in your personality, if at all?

I do not like me getting angry on small things and would like to change as it really hurts at times.

5. Please pick out the adjectives which best describe your personality;

Nervous, Anxious, Shy, Worrying, Paranoid, Proud, Asocial, Guilty, Depressed, Hypochondriac, Untidy, Weepy, Emotional, Impractical, Confused, Suspicious, Jealous, Timid, Aggressive, Headstrong, Forgetful, Follower, Insecure, Immature, Impulsive, Rigid, Restless, Feminine.

Anything else you would like to add?

My list – Nervous, Shy, Worrying, Guilty, Emotional, Timid, Aggressive, Non-Forgetful, Insecure, Restless, thinks twice before spending( I don’t know what to call this).



6. Did you have any bereavement in life? If yes, how has it affected you?
Nothing serious but just not able to have my love as my lifepartner

7. Do you often suffer from depression? If so, do you prefer company or solitude during those times?
No, I like to be alone if I am depressed.

8. Do you get angry often? If not, do you feel the anger inside at least? What are the things / issues on which you get angry the most?

yes on anything & everything

9. Did you have any issues regarding your parenting by your guardians?

no

Hi kadwa,
thanks for your response.
I will take these medicines but what should be the quantity for each dose of Lycopodium 200c and Haridra Khanda(1 tsp) to be taken with how much quantity of water?

For the exercise, can I do it at roof top in my home?

Hi kadwa,
I have followed your prescription but the situation is same.
After taking Lycopodium 200C for 1 day 3 times, there was not much sensation for itching for some time(2-3 days) but then I could feel the same sensation.
As long as I take medicine, this itching sensation creates no problem but after stopping the medicine, it comes back quickly.
I am continuing the yoga and haridra khanda and could feel some positivity may be due to yoga but otherwise no relief.
please help.

Hi,
I have taken one dose of Lycopodium 1M and then continuing with 1/2 tsp of haridra khanda....the observation is that I m feeling the sensation (rub anywhere on the body & itching will start) of itching continuously..plz suggest.

Hi kadwa,
As suggested, I have not taken crotalus but continued with haridra khanda and yoga..the observation is that I could tolerate the feeling of sensation and it does not seems to be very difficult after all...the itching anyway gets started if any part of my body is rubbed but I can tolerate that...as the climate is a bit cool now a days, I feel much relaxed then summer.. plz suggest further

Hi kadwa,
changes on mental plane are difficult to measure as of now but yes it is true that I feel some sort of positivity...
On the other hand itching sensation(caused by rubbing of anything on the body) is there but somewhat bearable and I am continuing with haridrakhanda & yoga..

plz suggest..

Hi kadwa,
The situation is still the same as mentioned in my response on 12th Jan.

plz suggest.

hi kadwa,
I have taken the Arnica 200C at a gap of 4 hrs followed by Haridra Khanda 1/2 spoon morning & evening.
There is no improvement seen and in fact the itching sensation has increased now. I normally don't feel comfortable in summer and as summer has started now, may be this is the reason of increase in itching sensation...not sure
please advise...situation is getting worsen in fact
thanks in advance.
