Narcolepsy with cataplexy

Have had an enquiry re whether Homeopathic treatment could help with this? I am always of the opinion if you find the right remedy most things are able to be helped if not cured? but was wondering if anyone els out there has treated it - had any success treating it? any tips/hints for treating it? Have found rubrics for it so presume it has been treated before. Havent a case yet so cant define any single remedies that may come up yet. Again thanks in advance.Pauline

Sorry I can't help with finding cases - quite the opposite: a friend of
mine intended to write about narcolepsy for her final dissertation but
was thwarted by the lack of treated cases. Even a trawl through the
Glasgow database and through internet homeopathy sites brought up only a
couple. If there are homeoapths here who have treated the condition, I
too would be keen to hear about experience/cases, because my friend's
preliminary work on this brought up much of interest in terms of miasm,
causation, likely Rxs etc.

I think to find homeopathic cases or rubrics you'll perhaps have to abandon the diagnostic terms and just look for symptoms and causes. It's an interesting question, indeed.

Hi Suse, I would be interested in anything your friend has thought about regarding miasmatic thoughts this was one reason I posted as i can rep on case for remedies but it is the deeper concerns like miasms that I was trying to conceptualise - I guess these would become apparent once I have a group of remedies to look at but at this point it has only been an enquiry whether I thought that Hom could help - and as I said if the correct remedy is found Hom can do good work - but it depends upon what their expectations actually are and what time frames they are prepared to accept and how deeply they want to investigate on all levels. Do you think that your friend would be open to sharing with me some of her thoughts and preliminary work? Thankyou for your reply Pauline

Hi Pauline-
I treated 2 cases -
long back - both responded very well to homeopathy-

The first case got Nux mos- drowsiness with faint feeling, the
patient had extreme dryness but no thirst - cured with Nux mos alone-

The second one had extreme day time sleepiness but had disturbed
night time sleep- somnambulism - young boy in early teens, ( his
brother elder had something similar, very occasionally but became
aright of own accord ) - Artemisia v. 200 3 doses cured... Later on
the boy needed Silicea for other reasons...
Gave Indol for another person for similar sleepiness- never heard
from him again - may be put him to sleep ... ( Indol has very good
narcoleptic treatment potential - sleepiness, vivid dreams etc).

There are very good medicines in Homeopathy and I think most of the
cases would respond to homeopathy...

Gelsemium, Nux.mos, Nux.vom, Cocculus, Calc.p, Tabacum, Cimex and a
host of others should be effective.

But get the concomitants... in this, as in most of the prescriptions
for other conditions, concomitants hold the key...

Symptoms not connected with the main symptom sometimes decide the
remedy...
