Puzzle

[Joy Lucas]

Reads animalistic - she being the smaller prey and being chased by
something more threatening. She is expressing some form of willfulness
and power of her own in her reaction to the diabetes (eats/drinks what
she wants regardless and then copes by injecting).

This suggests she is trapped in some way?? Hence the long distance
travelling?

What is the connection between the insomnia after waking from light to
all of this. Is it being disturbed - another example of some phenomena
having control over her life? Which is the most important - the light,
the being wakened, or not being able to sleep again?

She is an osteopath. She reads like she is quite a workaholic - does
that mean she is restless, busy, highly charged? If so, what does that
suggest to you (getting warmer?)

And the diabetes has to figure as well. Anything else of the case you
want to share with us?

Does this feeling of fear and danger come up elsewhere in her life?
I'm guessing it must! Could she describe it any more, talk any more
about it, and can she say when it started? (Lifelong, or since some
incident, or connected with some situation, or ?) Other than that, I
would simply go by "the rest of the case", and assume that the dream is
related. (Can you tell I've never felt too successful in using dreams
for prescribing? )

I wondered if she has delusion not at home in Britain, homesick for
India but relevant rubrics do not have the photophobia.
This being chased , struggling to survive , photophobia, clinging to
idea of India ???Stramonium. Just a 1 cents worth, Jean

Tried Arg.nit? IDD, Fear( dreams, death), Retinal complications...
Sulph, Graph, Lyc, Secale, Bell turn up frequently.. Sulph might be
good too... Lyc as well... Considering NV, Zinc both having worked I
would definitely consider Sulph...
Photophobia might have a physical back ground what with micro
aneurysms, hemorrhagic etc...

What medicines worked during her eye problems? Any idea or indication
from there? After all Lach, Crotalus both have < waking...and they
are indicated for retinal hemorrhages...

If your aim is to avoid the complications of diabetes but there is all
these other issues going on you have to be asking what needs to be
cured and what she wants from homeopathy. The occasional prescriptions
of such variable rx as Calc carb, Nux vom and Zinc are not going to
cure her. I don't mean to be picky but if you can refuse to treat a
part of someone's case because they are on the pill how can then treat
another part of their case willingly. If you are only looking for
palliation, where is the puzzle?

I had a friend who was always better on every dimension when she was in
India; I thought at the time that the change in diet really suited her, that
our wheat and milk as everyday staples was not good for her, rice and curry
and dal much better. Mybe also the change in climate?

She had Arg Nit. in 2003 but that mouth her BP and BS went up. Other than the pregnancy thing there is no anticipatory anxiety in the case. She does well with Sulphur and Lyco when they are indicated. I have given no remedies for her eye problem as it happened 6 years ago before she started seeing me. The slight oedema has only recently been found and they are keeping an eye on it (excuse the pun).
