Dear Sir,
As advised, I have given Curare 200 2 doses and after that currently giving Strophantus 30 and Baryta mur 30 since yesterday. The BP has come down a bit & he is feeling better than earlier. However for Curare 200, I could not observe any changes , may be the period is very small.
Just to summarize the whole treatment in a nutshell As per the treatment on mental state, he is getting better than earlier in terms of fear/anxiety etc. However in last 2 weeks the muscular contraction( or spasicity) is worse than earlier.
I also want to confirm that the paralyzed side is little bit colder than right side.
Pls advise the next course of treatment
Regards,
Debasish

In the late night/early morning, he is not getting any sleep.He used call in every 1 hr in this period. But after breakfast (feels very drowsy)& Lunch he is taking nap for 2 hrs(i.e in day time getting good sleep/drowsy mostly).

Sir,
Its been 7 days since the last dose of curare 200.its hard to tell any improvement regarding muscular paralysis as during the high BP period when most of the things were reversed,the muscles of hand were also very stiff.(very hard to extend/fold the hands)same for leg also where the strength was lesser than earlier.therefore there is hardly any change noticed.
Pls advise.

As prescribed I have given the doasage. Now the overall stiffness part is relatively less than last week.The heel is touching relatively better than earlier.However he still doesnt have much strength in his left leg (as seen while folding the legs and while standing; the left leg slides liitle bit while standing on his own).
I am continuing he dose of st30 and baryat 30. After taking these he is feeling better (both overall & sleeping)

Thanks sir.
The doses will be for alternate days (e.g 1st day Ruta then next day Rhus tox).
Pls confirm
Also i just want to add that he was having hearing issues last week. His hearing ability is weak compare to earlier.Is it because of high blood pressure ?

pl start Baryta carb 30 every day morning for 3 days and tell me. Ruta continuesly for two days followed by rhus tox
bapu4 last decade
As prescribed, I have given Baryata Carb. The stiffness part has been improved a liitle. However the strength in legs has been the same.
(Also he could hardly able to fold the left leg both in sitting & sleeping position, worse than earlier, i.e in the beginning of the treatment) Just to add, as reported earlier his overall fear & anxiety has reduced significantly in last 2 weeks. But he still lacks strong desire or confidence to stand on his own (or for recovery).
I am giving the Ruta & Rhus Tox doses as prescribed . Also continuing Str30 & Bar mur 30.

Extremely sorry. I was not aware of the medicine. May be i am very much worried or concerned about the cure.Hence I totally forgot about the rest.
As i am already mentioned the overall mental condition (anxiety, fear,restlessness) has improved a lot over the course of treatment. So I am really very much grateful to you.
Kindly advise the further course of treatment.

Here is the summary.
1st prescription
Arnica 1M & Ars 200
Though initially i could not notice anything. but after 3-4 days he was feeling better; restlessness/anxiousness reduced.(in scale of 10 %)
Gelsmium:
Sleepless increased, BP got increased (not initially observed) , getting more irritated.After few days the contraction in hand increased tremendously,muscular spasicity got increased in both leg & hands got worsen in next 1-2 weeks.
Chamomila (for Sleeplessness) Not any significant improvement in sleeping.
Ars 200 repeat
anxiety/irritation got improved
curare 200
not any distinct improvement observed.
Strophantus 30 and Baryta mur 30
Excellent result in overall condition. sleeping in night got improved tremendously.
BP got stabilized now
Ruta 200 and Rhus tox 200
overall stiffness/spasicity/contraction etc got relatively better (~20%)
His hearing got worsened in the mean time (may be effect of Gelsmium)
Baryta Carb 30
Hearing got improved
Overall treatment
Mental condition 40 -50 % improvement (anxiety, fear of falling, irritation etc)
muscular paralysis/spasicity/heal touching part/contraction in hand & legs - 10% (may be after dose of Gelsmium, many of these got worsen than before. therefore i have mentioned little improvement ).
As i mentioned in the last post,now I could able to observe that he could hardly able to fold the left leg while sleeping, which was not there earlier (3 weeks back).This has developed over the weeks, not instantly now..may be I have missed it earlier.
Also in the initial post I have mentioned about his prostate issue (residual urin; making frequent urge to urination) is still persisting. The doctor has suggested for operation(laproscopy) to enlarge the opening in urinary duct where it got shrinked earlier due to prostate enlargement operation in 2007.
(Clarification required:
Sir, As I have given Rhus tox in pill form, is it required to shake it , or i need to give liquid dose)
It is very hard to notice the changes as the patient is old and he could not give the feedback properly. So what ever i observed, i have written.

Debasish

bapu4 last decade
2 -3 days back when climate was little bit hot & humid here, He was feeling very hot & sweaty and asking for fan to be on all time .
BP was in range of 85/130 85/125 to 85/135)
The stiffness during sleep
I have mentioned anything like this. During sleep he used to wear leg splint to level the foot ( as during walking the heel doesnt touch the ground fully). Because of this in morning leg remains bit stiff compared to other times.

Sir,
The point I wanted to make is earlier he could able to fold the legs easily compare to now. Sorry, here 'Sleeping' mean in sleeping position. The same happens in seating position also.
hot food: Compare to earlier he used to wait for food to cool before taking it.
Involuntary Stool: Freequency reduced, last time was 20-30 days back. As I mentioned earlier it generally comes with wind (in minute semi-liquid drops)
Sir, Can Arnica dose can be repeated now. What I feel, the disease is mainly due to high BP & bleeding (not clotting) in his head. So will Arnica repeat dose will help now.
Regards,
Debasish

every week give him Baryta carb also along with meds already being given but by hitting the bottle 10 times always.
He also should start doing 'Anulom-Vilom' for 15 minutes
In morning and Evening,he can do this sitting on a chair also.Do this at least for one month.

rhus tox and Ruta:
The stiffness has been reduced a liitle in both hand and legs. It is hard to tell in percentage (not significant though)
Dose of Arnica:
Sir, Could you pls tell me how to give 1 dose
Earlier u have given the dose like below
'pl start with Arnica 1M liq.
3 drops of arnica in one cup water give him two table spoons every day two three times every day for three days. '
Details:
Talkative in nature. Very hard to convince him, very adamant.
In general he is bit restless in nature.(wants things to happen quickly), e.g if somebody give him time to meet and doesnt come at right time, he get very annoyed & restless.
Very disciplined: (both in time, arranging his personal belongings; file etc)
He used to get up at 4 am early in the morning regularly.
He is not having suspicious character.
He always thinks/worry too much for any small things/job.
From outside he shows tough character (disciplined, angry). But from inside he is caring & generous.
very sharp in remembering things earlier.
Very sincere & hardworking (as he was professor),
Not jealous.
Very short tempered in nature.
Stroke:
As I have mentioned eariler, when the stroke happened, bleeding occurred (due to rupture of arteries in in right part of the brain. The size of bleeding area (Haematoma; ~1cm diameter) was remain constant (no further spread of blood)after which they discharged from hospital.
While Stroke happened the BP was very high (210/110)
Then for next 6 month bp fluctuates and stabilize from 160/90 to 140/90.
Clot happens when artery doesn't rupture (which futher leads to bleeding).
Both clot & bleeding have their own serious implications.
Organs affected:
Left side of the body. i.e left hand to leg. Face is minutely affected, very hard to distinguish from far, but on minute observation it can be detected by some facial muscles near to cheek & neck which hangs down a little bit. Speech is not affected from the beginning itself.
tongues & lips are fine, no sign of abnormality
voice is fine. initially it was bit hurried but afterward it was quite ok.
chest:
fine; nothing reported by doctor
stomach:
he still cough sometimes while swallowing foods, now reduced compared to earlier (especially any dry food)
which shows effect of paralysis.
leg: leg was affected first on stroke. as i mentioned earlier leg is bit stiff near thigh muscle & calf muscles. Also the foot area doesn't touch fully (heal remains untouched while standing, now it is improved),
While standing the left points 90 degree to the right leg (rotated, now it is reduced, around 50-60 degree now )
hand: hand is stiffest among all organs affected always in contracting position (as i have given early photographs), in last 5 month the fingers are also showing awkward shape mostly.Sometimes it shows normal type finger then sometime it get worse.
I am attaching a photo of fingers for reference.
