question

[Shelly Jain]

hi.. just wanted to let u know that u and Donna both are right... actually there are two types of globules.... one having the capacity of absorbing liquid throughout, and the second one absorbs the medicinal liquid only on its outer thin layer.. rest all is hard impermeable core..... generally homoeopaths use the first variety... but some homoeopaths , who are very much cautious about the Quantity of the medicine they are giving to their patients, use the second variety
u may confirm this from WILLMAR SCHWABE COMPANY...

Hi,

This morning my mother (78Years) had s0me strange symptoms.
In the morning, while having breakfast, she had no feeling with
swallowing the food. There were no difficulties, but she had no
feeling.
Also she heared me talking like from far away.
When she wanted to show me out, she had difficulties standing up
(after 5 times, she managed) and then she came to me and said: I
believe (have the idea) that I am not able to talk anymore. Not that
she lost her voice, but like she lost the ability to ...)
I put her on a chair and she was looking at me as if she did not
really saw me - dull). After a few seconds she said she was oke. She
slept for half an our and was as normal.
Anyway I called the doctor
The doctor send her to the hospital, (the where thinking about TIA)
but everything (blood, heartfunction etc were normal)
I tried to look things up in the MM (not for prescribing - but just
to see if I could find any symptoms and the remedies), but I could
not find it. Especially the delusion that she could not speak
anymore.
Does anyone know where to look?
Best regards Willy

Hello Willy, this does indeed sound like a TIA but who's to know for sure. That far away
feeling along with the painless feeling in throat might indicate Opium = difficult speech
and swallowing, painless could be the same as numbness, voice weak with inability to
speak, dreamy sluggish and dullness, there is no will power in Opium and that might
indicate the state she was in although it was for just a short time. Apologies if theis

Hi Kerry,

Thanks for your answer (specially while you are travelling). the GP thought
it could have been a TIA (and so did I), in the hospital, after the tests
they said there was no suspectibility for TIA, mainly because there were no
pareses. I wonder what could have caused it.

Best regards, Willy

That is the whole problem with TIAs: they are *transient*, which means they
resolve without any sequelae, and often you cannot find the origin of the
embolus........so it is a purely clinical diagnosis and must be considered
as correct until proved otherwise.

Willy-

Opium as suggested by someone seems a good selection. These other
ones also come out as good. These are from Knerr and so more
trustworthy than someone's dream proving or delusions.

Far off feeling in head - Secale ( from Roberts)
Staring with vacant look - Carb.sul
Staring at one questioning her or at one spot, or at her
surroundings in a strange stupid manner - Hell
Staring thoughtless - Hell
Talking inability - Crot.h, Kali.br, Stram
Trance - Lach
Trance everything seems unreal to her - Amyl
Unconscious with inability to swallow - Amyl
Apoplexy old persons - Apis, Bar.c, Opium
Uncertainty - feeling of - Amyl
Palate, anesthesia - Kali.br

Of the nosodes - Med seems to be the best bet, I was seeing it in so
many rubrics.

I esp. like Secale, Kalibr, Amyl. Secale for its well known action
on blood vessels. It is also good for old women ( Read about it in
Boericke in introduction). I have treated many similar cases with
Kali.br. Excellent remedy for speech difficulties in TIA and CVAs.
Amyl as it is as transient in its symptomatology as TIA. Carb.s I
have never tried for these but looks very good esp. sensation (loss
of it ) part of it. So does Hell. Crotalus and Lach are naturals for
these conditions.

Even though tests ruled out TIA, since TIA is one of the
Differential Diagnosis, medicines indicated for TIA would work. That
is how the therapeutic indications are arrived at- by comparing what
the proving symptoms simulate - this is a much better way of
arriving the remedy than gazing up the delusion tree...( I wanted to
say barking)...

A trial of Secale might not be too bad ( if other symptoms agree-
there I fulfilled the customary and mandated words)
Good luck

Oh I forgot certain other rubrics-
Dulness in paralysis- Sec
Dulness with weakness - Lach
Self control want of - Lach, Sil
Legs, paralysis - painless - Secale, Rhus
Legs, paralysis, cannot be used as normal - Arn ( apoplexy)
Legs, paralysiscannot stand or move legs - Lach
Legs, paralysis weakness of extensors - Sec

We should not forget the trusted Arnica and Nux.vom as well

Willy - Kent, Hering, Clarke, et al, have many symptoms under mouth,
speech, incl. taste, etc. Could *paralysis of the tongue* (even if
only momentary) be a factor? In passing, Bar-c comes to mind, but
there are many others... It does sound very much like a mild stroke.
In other words, your mother's inability to speak may not have been
totally delusional! Hope this helps. Wishing you and your mother well.

There has been no medical intervention (hormones etc). All medical reports say there is no reason they can't conceive although they've been trying over 3 years now.

Her mother has been dead for many years now so can't find out about mother's state.

She was a very anxious patient when she fIrst came (had been to a naturopath for fertility support who referred her on) - taking her temperature every day, reading too many books, wouldn't even let her husband fly because of the radiation affecting their chances. The anxiety has certainly been addressed successfully, but no pregnancy.

I haven't seen her for a while & it's late, but will pull her file tomorrow.

Michele.

can someone help me to identify when the periosteum is damaged as opposed
to soft tissue as in an injury?

ruts is listed under damage to periosteum where rhus tox lists soft tissue damage.
