Minutus

Okay, the man who had sarcodosis. Now he has scars on his lungs from that
disease, not on his heart like i thought (and that disease in in regression.)
So far this is what i have and i haven't done any looking yet.

He is in a wheelchair.
Pants when standing or walking a few steps. tight feeling in chest with a
feeling that he wants to expand chest but cannot. He said his heart is having
trouble pumping blood...because of the lungs...otherwise, his heart is okay,
but can become enlarged or does become enlarged sometimes. So panting worse
from movement???? Common to any lung problem disease? Worthless symptom? Same
with the wanting to expand chest but cannot..? He is going to get back to me
on which lung is worse after he gets that info from his doctor.

Because of the excess calcium in his bones..elephantitus..he has a lot of
aching at night. If he lies on the right side he can use a pillow. If he lies
on the left side, his shoulder aches if his head is upraised so he doesn't use
a pillow when on the left side. But for the most part...he changes his
position very often all night long...so aching pain better from movement when
lying down. Is the worse upraised head on left side while lying/aching
shoulder/ a good symptom to start with?

Thats all i got at the moment.

Some lesser symptoms:

He gets swollen feet, worse on left side.

Ankle area has purple skin..born like that.

He had shingles on stomach and back 5 years ago.

The excess calcium he has, either due to poor absorption or over
indulgence is important but it isn't elephantitis, this is due to a
parasitic invasion.

The sx you describe as common are not worthless because they help
define the case and so you would always include them but give them
their correct ranking within the case. At the same time you need to be
looking for more characteristic sx, those that are peculiar to the
client which help individualise their case.

You need to build the case with sx that pertain to what needs to be
cured, rank those sx as to their importance, e.g. the fact that he has
had shingles would be quite high ranking to me, the herpes diathesis
possibly still present, if in fact it was shingles, as a varied amount
of rashes are linked to the disease of sarcoidosis. You can start with
any sx but at some point they need 'arranging' as to their importance
within the case. And of course you probably need more. There will also
be rubrics pertaining to pulmonary sarcoidosis as I have said before
which include rx such as Beryllium and others.
