Pseudomonas - Swimmer's Ear - Need Rubics

[Joy Lucas]

Just a few points (to take away the nerves from watching the cricket
)

Apologies that we didn't really answer your original questions and got
carried away with rx suggestions.

What rubrics will help you the most because the 'fluid/pus in the ear'
isn't really trapped as she has a discharge much of the time. If there
is something along these lines of sensations then Merc has 'sensation
as if cold water running from ear' + a mixture of fetid/sweetness to
discharges << drafts but is <<< lying right side so this rx would
probably be discounted??

If you do decide on the nosode Tuberculinum then you will be putting
aside the placid nature of this person, Tub is never placid, so her
reaction to the pain is an important sx to include and not how she is
generally.

Can you name the type of pain, this too is crucial. Then you can add
the relevant rubrics or we can help you with them.

The chronicity is also important so you will be looking for this angle
as well (Causticum - which has thick gluey discharge, burning in ears,
catarrh).

To what extent is the discharge excoriating - if a great deal then this
sx should be higher ranked - could be sulphur as Soroush suggested
(relapsing conditions especially from suppression), could be Tellurium,
although this rx is also << lying on painful side.

As always it comes down to what needs to be cured and ranking the sx.
Best wishes, Joy

If someone can repertorize the case with Boenninghausen and report
it would be good, I do not have access to it now

Dr.Bernat-
Discussions increase visibility and so will give you more ideas and
input as long as they do not go way too off topic.

Curiously tartar of teeth reminds me of Bacillinum. So instead of
Tuberculinum you might want to think of Bacillinum. I usually give
it in 1M. That might be her nosode....another one of my guessworks...

You said she wants to lie down on right side. What does it do? By
lying on right side does she feel better because of the pressure on
the affected part or is she hiding the right side ( thereby escaping
cold air?) If it is > pressure what happens if she gives pressure on
it using hand?

Sadly I don't, I'm on holiday

But we still need the type of pain and any extension if its there. I
also think the 'cheerful' aspect is going to be misleading. If she is
in agony but cheerful with this then it is truly a strange, rare and
peculiar situation. Best wishes, Joy

Hm, true science at its best *does* involve guessing! That's how
experiments are conceived, and that's how we move forward. However
more progress is made--with less risk--if the guessing is informed
(helps the "progress" part, better than flailing in the dark), and if
the implementation is done with an understanding of appropriate
"risk-management" (be a shame to blow up the laboratory in the
process!).

She is cheerful in the sense that she smiles and is invaribly hopeful when
describing what awful agony this ear is causing her. Not weepy, nor
self-pitying. Just the facts and that sense of "can you help me" with a hopeful
smile. The pain is localized to the right ear. Described the pain in open air as
burning itch. In the cold air as a deep ache.

When I am suck like that, one way (non classical), is to create an isopathic
of the pus; that will take care of the local problem (hopefully) while the
constitutional and/or miasmatic remedy should prevent recurrences.

The reasoning here is that the situation has become independent (one sided)
so it should be treated as a "separate entity" while the patient/host is
brought back to health the usual way.

Dr.Rozencwajg,
To what potency would you make an isopathic remedy like that to?

I use raising potencies, 5c, 7c, 9c, 12c, 15c, 18c, 24c, and 30c, one dose
of each in succession.

OK, another take on this is that Shannon's idea of this feature of
cheerfulness not being tested to the full, yet to be disrupted by the
chronic state is present in this case and it brings back to mind
Soroush's idea of Sulphur and it is a little keynote of Sulphur -
hopeful dreamers, foolish happiness - the sulphur that hasn't reached
the really emotionally eruptive stage. All the sx you have now given
fit Sulphur and there is the one big sx of suppression by the AB's that
hardly any other rx has to the same degree. Possibly this rx could open
up the block and even be curative. As this is a chronic case I would be
exploring further her ability to tolerate this situation in this way
versus the effects of those antibiotics as to why she can't shake this
off and to see if there might be more useful sx. Best wishes, Joy
