I have been repping out a very complicated new case and the top Rx is Conium. Because this is an unusual Rx to come I think I should give it a serious look and I wondered what your take on this Rx is. I went to your website to see if you had written anything on there but quite honestly I gave up as because I am on dial up everything is taking soooooo long to load. If you have written about this Rx somewhere on there can you please tell me where and I will persist!!!!
I haven't prescribed for the case of this 39 yr old woman as I told her to go away , stop taking some of her allopathic drugs that IMO are not vital (she has to remain on the thyroxin and B12 injections), have the Mirena coil removed (she was sterilised at age 23 and was given this for bad period pains when she said she didn't want the pill!!!!!!!) and come back after her first period although in hindsight I may prescribe after she has had the coil removed to stop her Sx returning.
Thanks

I am sure I haven't written anything, certainly not anything in my database. For expediency I would take a look at what Sankaran writes in 'plants' as there are some cases as well as the usual 'family' description.

Are you able to post anything about the case. Joy

Wow that's a tall order Joy as there is soooo much and soooo many gaps. I will try to give the main threads as this may help me!! I probably can't answer any questions as they will be things I need to ask.
Presenting Complaint was acne but she only had a few well picked at spots on a very scarred face. She is 39, on her 3rd marriage- in the first 2 she was abused , this one is very happy.
"I am obsessionally tidy."
Osteoarthritis - shoulder spine, knee and hips. She takes medication to stop the pain.
B12 deficiency - Injections once every 2 months.
"At the beginning of the week my whole face was swollen. This happens now and again since I was bitten by a wasp.
Acne - tiny boils, sometimes a head which is white pus, around the nose yellow pustules. She has had 4 courses of Roaccutane, the last being a year ago. She has been on Dianette for the acne.
Pernicious anaemia
Hypothyroid and is on 100mg thyroxin
Allergies - sneezing early afternoon. Her eyes run and are itchy and sore. This is all year round and curled up. I feel as if everything is going to fall out. My breasts are swollen before a period and sometimes they are swollen for the whole month. I have had scans and there is nothing wrong. The pill didn't agree with me as I put on weight and had mood swings. I was sterilized at 23. I have cysts on my right ovary and small fibroids at the top of the womb. I have had precervical cancer cells and been lasered twice and I have had coloscopies. That's why I want a hysterectomy to get that bit out of the way."
Pregnancies and birth were normal.
Headaches - "I get migraines with zig zag before hand and sometimes it doesn't get to the pain. When it does I feel like hitting my head. It feels like I have been kicked. My brain is sore. It is the top and sides and sometimes the back. I want dark and quiet and support my head in my hands. I don't want anything to eat or drink. Leave me alone. It comes every few months."
Digestion - "I have been told I have a hiatus hernia. I get a burning sensation. It's like everything comes up to my neck. I had it a couple of nights ago and I take Losec 40mg.
Itching - "now and then < at night when I get overheated and I have to change my place in bed. I have to sleep by an open window.
Nails split and break. "Since I was young I have had no nail on ring finger of my left hand. Sometimes it grows and sticks out." Her nails are flat.

Bowels - "I have IBS- low down pain. When I get it I alternate between constipation and diarrhoea. It kicks off when I am upset."
"My first marriage was annulled as there was never any sex after the marriage. I was treated horribly and was raped when he was drunk which was how I got pregnant. She should have been twins but I was battered. Then with the second marriage came the other 2 children. He was hitting me and my daughter. I ran away. I packed the children off in a van and we moved for 6-8 months until I was strong enough to go to the courts and get my house back as it was my house. I did file for divorce once before with him but He told me I was lucky that anyone would take me on. Then I had my miracle baby as sex wasn't penetrative. He was very domineering. I married for the 3rd time and have never been happier."
"I've not got a high opinion of myself. I would be happiest at the top of a mountain. I'm a recluse and need to be where I can't hurt anyone and they can't hurt me. I gauge people's feelings.
"At primary school I was the class clown. Then I got bullied at secondary school.
"I work as a cleaner now in a school. I avoid people. I like gardening. I go walking with the dog. I walk the other way if there are people around. Sometimes when I am in company I can make people laugh. I love kids and little people."
"7 years ago I was a support teacher for special need. I had a nervous breakdown. We moved to Ormskirk. It was a family problem with my sister lying about me. I had to get away from everyone. I was on Roaccutane. The last time I was on it was a year ago. I wrote my sister a letter 5 years ago and said that this is silly. We made up but I will never trust her.

Fears - earwigs

- crowds
Food - recently desire chocolate but it used to be savoury. "My favourite meal is noodles, with lots of vegetables and maybe Soya mince. Aversion to meat and anything animal- sometimes eats tuna.
She was anorexic as a teenager and still has the occasional bulimia.
"I can't say no to someone as I think I have failed."
"All of a sudden I will let rip and I will feel stupid afterwards, I feel immediately I shouldn't have done it. I feel I am no use to my daughters alive. Dead they would have my house."
"As long as I have enough to pay the bills that's Ok."
Dreams - vivid in colour. "Of past bad things."
The following Sx came out as Conium

Acne face

scars

fastidious

hypothyroid

herpes mouth

anxiety conscience

guilt feelings

remorse

migraine Sx

menses Sx
Nat Mur looks good . Also Sepia and Thuja.

Dear Rochelle, not sure why you were thinking Conium but here's a few comments, a montage of what you have written - not in any real order of ranking but just a collection of sx from your post

acne
oedema and bloated face
fastidious - maybe evolving out of a level of indecision or anxiety - never happy - conscientious about trifles
hypothyroid - with a mixture of thermals
low self esteem, timid and prefers to be alone (averse to company)
swollen breasts
retro-version of uterus with heaviness
cutting pain going down thighs
clinging to the past = dreams of the past bad things
averse to meat
burning in stomach
lots of abdominal problems that could mimic a hernia
problems with nails
history of grief and fear
herpetic eruptions
allergic constitution
anxiety of conscience - regarding temper + anxiety regarding the future + thoughts of death (much of these contribute to what appears to be a hyperchondriacal nature)

Put that little lot together and I move rapidly towards Graphites but maybe others could also make suggestions. Joy

Not to bud in but wanted to mention - might seriously consider
Carcinosin. May not rep to that but lots of indications.

Acne & Boils
Fastidious
Fears crowds
History of suppression
Guilty feelings
Eating disorders
Craving chocolate
Gastro symptoms
Allergies
Headaches
Problems with menses
Cold sores
Ovarian cysts
Pain in legs
Precancerious cells of cervix
Love of nature? (happiest at the top of a mountain)

Nat Mur and Sepia symptoms. See Roger Morrison's Desktop Guide to
Keynotes and Confirmatory Symptoms. Also, The New England Journal of
Homeopathy, Fall 1996, Vol. 5, Num 4 has excellent articles. Also,
see great info from Don Webly on Carc here:
http://www.lyghtforce.com/HomeopathyOnl ... atmed.html.

Last thing - this stood out to me as SRP: "Then I had my miracle
baby as sex wasn't penetrative."

Thought it worth mentioning.
Truly,
Erica

Thanks Erica. I always consider Carc in complicated cases with
fastidiousness and abuse issues. Folliculinum was another one I was
considering.
