Follow-up case-ideas/suggestions welcomed (long)

[V.T. Yekkirala]

Hi,
Since you are allowing late comers (like me ) to butt in, here I go...

The elements of the case show "confusion, beclouded and strange " sensation
possibly because she feels the outside world is so naughty and confusing.
This
leads to her feeling isolated , not included and not part of the
family/group/
community....; and her reaction to her sensation is withdrawl. All this if
you
go by the latest method of Rajan Sankaran. The miasm seems to be leprosy
and the family "Magnolianae". Crossing the two you get her remedy as
Aristolochia clematitis.

Out of curiosity I checked this remedy in EH and some of the excerpts are
appended below. So my vote goes to Aristo-cl.

Hope this helps,
V.T.Yekkirala.

Symptomatology Generalities

Viruses attracted especially to female genital organs.
Subjects of a phosphoric constitution, with extreme nervous sensitivity, who
cry easily.
Marked attraction of the virus to urinary passages, kidneys, venous system,
skin.
State of fatigue, or the opposite, of remarkable wellbeing.
Tendency to plumpness.
Worn out , with vertigo , coldness , slightly improved by heat ; hunger
pangs and need to eat despite feeling of nausea .

Mind Psychological
State of mental depression.
Sensation of solitude, fear for the future, rejects company .
Amelioration of depressed state by fresh air and menses .
Extreme feeling of chill

"Leading symptoms ....
M - Women's remedy. "The medicine strikes us as a hybrid of Sepia,
Pulsatilla and Arnica, if it is permitted at all to express something new,
different and unknown in terms of something already familiar. The physical
symptoms bear a striking resemblance to Pulsatilla. The mentals and
personality type seem nearer to Sepia. Among my own patients ... the
striking observation was the prevalence of extremes of moods ... either a
marked depression or a rather forced or unreasonable exhilaration and
cheerfulness, even in alternation ... also, extreme states of extroversion
or introversion in the same person ... They are not easily comforted like
Pulsatilla but rather inconsolable and cross when in the depression, yet not
actively aggravated by consolation like Sepia ... The modalities show a
close similarity to the pattern of Pulsatilla. In routine office work first
consideration is to be given to Aristolochia before any other remedy [unless
definitely indicated] in any case of suppressed or deficient menses [such as
is usually associated with Pulsatilla] as well as in the average case of
cystitis. As a vulnerary, it appears to be superior to Calendula"

M - Mentally depressed condition; sensation of loneliness, or fear of the
future; refuses society; amel. open air, amel. by menstruation.

Dear V.T. and everyone who replied,

I am very grateful for all the input I've received. It has
certainly been educational and instructive - intriguing
also - as we all seem to concentrate on different things as
being the important 'bits'. I can see so clearly why you
are suggesting Aristolochia, and at some point I may need
to review it again, but I don't feel it is completely
honing in on what the px is exhibiting because she shuts
herself in her room, so she has no sensation of solitude
(as she craves it), nor fear for the future, as she should
be at school/college and cannot see the long-term
consequences of missing an education.

So I have plumped for Stramonium, although I had a close
look at Kreos and Lac Humanum plus other suggestions.
Granite was my next best contender (and she happens to live
in a radon-active area).

I'll let you know how it goes !

Many thanks to all, Barbara
