Minutus

Background: Female 80+ with limited mobility after accident. Recovery is taking a very long time. No pharmaceuticals. Overall health good.

I have a decent set of rubrics that describe her situation, however the temperature sensitivity is something she says has always been a tiny bit, but now she is noticing more and more- so I would like to focus in on that and see if a good rubric or two will shift the basic analysis or not.

Temperature 'hypersensitivity': There are no measurable temperature swings (i.e. body temperature or in the environment), just the small changes that are normal and appropriate. There is no indication of thyroid disorder. She is now more sensitive to temperature changes than she remembers being in the past. At night, she describes being too hot in the bed for a few hours, then being too cold. In the day she also will require blankets for a while, then request the blankets off and a fan move air onto her. No specific pattern of time of day is reported.

Thank you in advance for your help.

GENERALS - TEMPERATURE - change of

First Rx that comes to mind is Mercury who likes to be in a specific temperature range.

From Clarke:-

It provides us with weather glasses and thermometers, and it turns those who are under its influence into weather glasses and thermometers likewise. [An electrician, who at one time was required to work with his hands frequently in a trough filled with quicksilver, thereafter could not bear the slightest shock of electricity, though before he could stand very strong ones.]
And herein lies one of the grand characteristics of the remedy: as the thermometer is sensitive to changes either to hot or cold, so is the Merc. patient. Other remedies are predominantly one or the other : Merc. is both agg by heat and agg by cold. This is keynote No.1.

I thought that was reaction to external changes in temperature – as opposed to an internal sensation of temperature. So you would use this rubric for the internal sensation not related to external temperature changes?

GENERALS - TEMPERATURE - change of

I had always assumed that this was the internal temperature, but perhaps I have misinterpreted that. One way to check would be to look at the individual remedies in the rubric and see how they tie in.

Oh yes, thank you – Mercury is high on my 'reading list'. My concern is that this is not in response to environmental temperature changes, but rather seems to be her perception of temperature changes. Of course, one could argue that she is hypersensitive to the least changes, imperceptible to others around her – which is why Mercury is definitely on my list. I was just looking for a rubric which would focus on her perception of temperature variations, if they were internally based.

Was the injury to the spine? If so the parasympathetic system may not be responding correctly, especially if it was the cauda equina area at the base of the spine. If so also consider hypericum.

Interesting – Hypericum was used extensively during an earlier phase in her healing. It worked well to a point, then seemed to be finished. I'll put it back into the 'reading list'. Thank you.
