help with a case

[Vera Resnick]

This is a case of a woman in her early 40s with a history of cysts/fibroids which come and go, history of ectopic pregnancy on the left side. 2 months ago, sudden pain in area of left side of uterus/left ovary. Doctors say she needs a hysterectomy complete with removal of ovaries. Say there are cysts on both ovaries although pain is only on left side. They also say there's endometriosis but apparently there are 3 doctors with 3 different diagnoses. She holds her abdomen, seems that light pressure amel, the pain is bad and wearying but she cannot define the pain. Warm applications amel, worse late afternoon evening. Bends forward with the pain. No clear trigger. Generally cold, says she's very thirsty for water (but didn't drink any during the hour and a half I was with her).
Presents as very feminine, but seems to be very "tough", independent thinker. Seems to be presenting a show, not her real self. Also very much testing of the homeopath, suspicious, initially holding back then presenting something not quite real. I was wondering about Platina for her, but not at all convinced. "Cat-like" features, very defined, chiselled face, thin elongated mouth.
RSP - with the pain in the abdomen she feels "a heartbeat in my brain". I asked whether it's a pulse - she says it's as if her heart is beating in her brain, points to temples.
The pain is really bad, she cannot function at home, with her kids, needs to lie down. Her op is scheduled for June 3rd. Any ideas?

It is not clear the cysts/fibroids are small or big. during pain colocynth will help since she is getting ameliortion bybending down. Pulsatilla can do a lot for any type of ovarian troubles. Folliculinum has found very useful in such cases. Since the miasm comes under sycotic, Thuja will check the further growth and a speedy recovery.

Hi
I've got some trouble with a teen girl of 12 yrs old.
There's not much physicals, some pain in legs while walking..
pain in knee area back side of her knee
She's got desire for sweets..everything else is quite ok,
But she refuses to communicate...She 's absolutely obstinate to
comment anything more than by saying "i donnow"
She's the worst child I ve ever had--her mom admits that's she's
been like that all her life
So most of the stuff I know is by her mom ..when she's with me
I can try pull which ever string I like and I get nothing
Initially I gave hger Silica which acc some outsiders and her mom
changed something in her but further doses did nothing..
Then she got Sulph- nothing..Now she's on Tarentula ..
and mon mailed me and told she's even worse,,so a bit on the
verge on that now..but I feel a bit at loss with this case now
MAinly intersted in experiences with other similar difficult children
If you have rx suggestions its ok, but more would like to know about
case management/ interviewing cases like hers
TIA. Will

Dental infections can begin very early in life. Toxins may build up in the teeth that may not show up in X-ray. Anaerobic organisms usually morph from streptococci and the excretions can travel down the nerve sheath of the Trigeminal Ganglion and up the spine. Many mental issues stem from chronic dental infection which, if allowed to linger over long periods of time, may set up focal infections in other organs. The blood and lymph drainage in the legs is a vulnerable location due to the distance from the cleansing organs and the requirement for a vertical lift of the lymphatic fluid which must move via mechanical movement. Exercise is critical in keeping the lymphatics clean. The next area of concern is the tonsils due to their close proximity to the teeth. The vasa vasorum consists of very small connecting blood vessels in both the venous and arterial systems which can harbor chronic strep infections which often isn't recognized by the immune system. Locate a biological naturopathic dentist who is familiar with the meridian electrical system and has the ability to measure it via Voll techniques. If in the southern Ohio area, I can get you hooked up with knowledgeable professionals who really know what they are doing. Caveat Emptor! Carmi Hazen

Sometimes you do have to rely heavily on reports of others; and sometimes that can give you what you need.

Can I ask what the mother and others have been telling you -- why is the girl there *other* than that she won't talk to you?

I would ask carefully after the history: Is this (what you see *and* whatever else others are seeing) simply a continuation of "her whole life", or did it begin at some point, and if so, what's known about etiology?

And in either case, whatever details you can get about her earlier years, infancy, birth, all of that.
How does she behave with siblings, classmates, teachers? What does she like to do, to eat, all the etc.

What's her appearance?

[Shannon Nelson]

Just noticing the "been like that all her life."
Is there anything distinctive about her appearance?

Finding the mother's remedy may be useful; and details of the pregnancy, birth and infancy?

First, thanks everyone for their input. Good points and food for thought here for me
I try to be as observing as I can to notice any gestures or repeating patterns while in consultation
especially in cases with low communication.
She's got an elder sister and they get along as siblings do as far as I know..
so they play, they fight, they make up soon after
sometimes she can be quite obstinate with her friends and wants things to be done her way which
results in a quarrel but at some point everything is alright again
She's an all-eater but there is an issue with eggs ..can eat them to an extent it has to be limited at times.
So Elizabeth's suggestion for Calc carb has been on my mind but I haven't seen enough more of Calc carb
there so I've left it kind of lingering for affirmation.
Her mother is very perplexed as with her first one she had no problems .she was a dream child..unlike this one who drives her nuts
The girl is slightly chubby, avoiding eye contact..initially when I met her she was with her mother together and if an when she wanted to give some answers she delivered them wispering to her mom first ..of course I could hear her but she didn't want to talk to me directly but by her mom.
She' seems sullen even sulky. And even tho walking feels bad, she loves to jump on a trampoline
I definitely need to view back the time of pregnancy with the mother and see if there's something there that could be of any solution to the case
Right...need to go get some sleep now...
Thanks again, Will

I'm jumping in late on this, but sulky teens or kids who don't want to communicate make me wonder: is the kid there because she wants to be or because mom/dad sees her as having a problem that needs to be fixed?
You may have to approach her in a very roundabout way, through her hobbies or activities, or through drawing. (If she were younger, I'd say through her play; but she's well past that stage.) If she can communicate non-verbally, you then have to explore why speech is so difficult for her.
Her avoiding eye contact and whispering her answers to her mom are also worth following further.
Peace,
Dale
