FIND THE REMEDY'S NAME (118)

[Ardavan Shahrdar]

Find the name of the following remedy:

Mucous membranes (esp of respiratory tract) and eyes
are mostly affected by this remedy.

It produces a catarrhal condition in respiratory
system. There is a loose rattling in chest but on
account of thick, ropy and tenacious mucous, the
patient cannot expectorate easily.

The patient experiences pain and hyperestesia in the
chest wall and esp over the affected area of lung.

Cough is usually accompanied by flushes of heat in the
face. Face becomes red and hot.

Weakness of sight after exertion of eyes during
reading and studying is another important feature of
this remedy. There is flickering before eyes and
letters run together.

Sincerely,

Ardavan Shahrdar, MD, DIHom

[Wendy Howard]

From Borland:

You usually meet your [remedy] case after the patient has been ill for some
days. And most of those I have seen have given me the impression that had
one seen them earlier they would probably have been Bryonia - a missed
Bryonia might quite well run on to a [remedy].
In appearance the [remedy] patients are very flushed. It is not a very
bright flush but it is pretty general, and the patients give you the
impression of being puffy and rather bloated looking. They have a hot sweaty
skin, and they always have very intense respiratory embarrassment. Their
main complaint is always a feeling of intense oppression in the chest, very
often they say it feels as if they had a ton weight sitting on the chest,
and they just cannot breathe.
The impression these patients give you is that they are intensely
tired; they are weary, and phlegmatic, and just tired out. Yet underneath
that tiredness there is definitely anxiety. I remember seeing one patient
exceedingly ill with an influenzal pneumonia who had a small daughter ill at
the same time, with the same condition, and it was astonishing how little
interest the mother took in the illness of her daughter. She never even
asked how the child was. She was very definitely anxious about her own state
and as to whether she was going to get better because she had so many
responsibilities about the house, and yet the fact that her child was
seriously ill at the moment made no impression at all. It is a weird mixture
of a mental state, and it is pretty typical of [remedy].
The [remedy] cough is awfully troublesome. It is a practically
constant, violent cough, and it produces a strange sort of hyperaesthesia of
the walls of the chest. Very often in these cases with a generalized
bronchitis, when you are percussing the chest you will get on to an area of
hyperaesthesia, and you will always find it is over a consolidated area.
With this generalized aching in the chest wall which accompanies the
violent coughing there is always a certain amount of restlessness; the
patients say they are rather more comfortable and the aching pain is rather
easier if they move about a bit.
With the paroxysms of coughing they become frightfully hot, very red in
the face, and covered with a hot sweat. And with this profuse sweating there
is apt to be a good deal of sudaminous rash.
These [remedy] patients say they feel too hot and that they like air,
but in spite of that they start coughing at once if you open the windows.
Though the patients feel far too hot, and they are sweating and want to push
off their blankets, yet an actual current of air will start them coughing.
Mostly in their pneumonias there is a certain amount of hoarseness, and
I have seen several [remedy] pneumonias now in which there was complete loss
of voice.
As a rule the condition is more extensive on the right side, but it
tends to spread from the right side over to the left. Every [remedy] case I
have seen has had peculiarly loud, harsh, breathing with their respiratory
distress. There is liable to be a certain amount of cyanosis of the
extremities. The patients frequently have a very high temperature, and they
are liable to develop signs of a failing heart early in the disease; the
right side of the heart begins to dilate, and a definite generalized oedema
of the lungs is very likely to develop.
The most striking cases of [remedy] pneumonia which I have seen have
been in middle - aged women, about 45 or so, always rather heavy, over -
weight, and rather short necked, just the bronchial type. You will get
indications for [remedy] in senile patients suffering from coughs, but that
is in cases of chronic bronchitis, which present quite a different picture.
