Mucus instead of stool UPDATE

[Rochelle Marsden]

Remedy I gave was 3 doses of Dys.CO.30. Any comments much appreciated.

12th May 2003

He has been a lot better since the bowel nosode. He says 1000% improved. The first thing he noticed was that when he got an urging it was not just mucus that came out but a stool. There is only a slight amount of mucus now but nothing significant.
He thinks that it is a reaction to stress, first thing in the morning or having coffee that may start a bit of mucus off.
Last Thursday there was a lit of blood in one motion (OS) but that was it. His stools have always been painless.
I discussed with him the fact that last Easter it also went away. He said that the doctors said that he had had an infection and they had given him antibiotics.
He is sleeping well at night.
"I'm going climbing and leaving work at 2pm 2 days a week. I feel fitter and the weather has been nice."
Sinus - no different. "I have had sinus problems since I was a child and have had sinus wash outs. The catarrh is a bit better. Sometimes it is clear or greeny yellow. I think I am allergic to dust or traffic fumes as when I get to the Switch island roundabout I often start sneezing. I can also sneeze from beer. I can't breathe through my nose and have had an SMR (Septum (M?) Resection).
Ears - there has been a clear fluid discharge.
He has had more flatulence but he says this may be because now he is not scared to let it go whereas before there was an insecurity because mucus would be expelled.
He told me more about the rash that came up on his face after he took the Rhus Tox after the first consultation. "The skin around the spot went white like a bite".
We talked about his risk taking activities. "I couldn't do a bungee jump probably because of the 2 climbing accidents. I like climbing because it is a problem solving exercise and there is always a route through it. When I reach the extent of what I can do I am satisfied."
"There is still an urgency to stool but it is now controllable."
Thirst - "I am more thirsty and it is difficult to quench my thirst. I have been borderline diabetic and get it tested every year."
"I have stayed off milk and am drinking soya."
BP - 134/90 (cf last time140/75)
Analysis

I was struck again by his very blond shock of hair and very blue eyes. But what has happened here. Is it the Dys.Co that has made a difference or the fact that as last year the problem went away after Easter and the return of warmer weather? Also is the reduction of mucus from giving up dairy. Whatever he is feeling a lot better. The main things that are left to sort are the clear watery discharge from the ears, the catarrh, the mucus that is left and his flatulence. However on asking he says that things are still improving he feels, rather than being on a plateau which is the reason why I did not prescribe this time. I would like to sort these ears out though.

Hi Rochelle,

Sounds like a good start!
My only thought right now is, this sounds like someone who should *not* be
drinking coffee... And I'm interested that he thinks the mucus might be
started by "stress or coffee"! Has he tried, or might he be willing to,
going off coffee for some time (few weeks?) and see whether he feels better
without it?

Hi Shannon,
Thanks for your comments. He doesn't actually drink coffee very often but noticed it when he did. Having read Maria's post on TOL I wondered whether to tell him to try Kali Sulph 6x as a tissue salt to stop the watery ear discharge.
