This is my second problem case this week. Now I realise that this appears to
be a badly taken case but it was soooo difficult. She was a nervous woman
and never stopped talking and I was having difficulty following what was
going on. It was as if she presumed I knew her history. I was also repping
the case as I was going along and have found Fear of robbers in my rep but
not in my written notes!!
I gave the woman Psor. 30C WP to take 3x a day with 5 succussions 29/April.
She is continuing with the anti histamines when the itching is bad and she
is due another. I have spoken to her tonight and things don't seem any
better. She is in absolute despair with the itching and has now come out
with 9 red spots on one knee (I forgot to ask which) and one on the other.
She can't bear underwear on as it is irritating her. She is taking cool
baths with bicarb in. She couldn't go to her friend's for long as the
heating was on making the itching worse. She is still talking about her
anger about this partner and that it all started with him. I have told her
to increase succussions to 10 and that if she wakes at 1 am like she did
last night itching she is to take a Psor. 30 pillule and she is to phone me
tomorrow to tell me how she is doing and to note if there was any
improvement after the pillule. She is also going to use the EFT techniques I
showed her. Again she said the itch is better when she is busy.
I also see a lot of Ars. here but Ars is > heat. She hasn't mentioned the
word burning to me.
I have also looked at Dolichos but don't have any!!
The case!!
Background
This 66 year woman d.o.b. 01-06-36 presented as a thin, nervous lady. She
talked all the time but had to do it a long way round. I had difficulty
following the story she was telling me until we did a timeline. She had back
hair, going grey at the sides, which had been badly home coloured. She had
no make up on and all the time appeared to be scratching her hands. There
was a red rash on her chin but didn't mention it.
29th April 2002
PC is lumpy raised rash on various parts of the body .
"I've had this rash since I had a domestic in January. My doctor wants me
to use this scabies cream but the instructions say you can itch for 4 weeks.
Acrivastine anti histamine helps for a few hours.."
She takes Bendrofluozide for hypertension. Also takes HRT and Citramol for
depression.
She is very restless, maybe because of the itchy rash - mainly on her
buttocks where it appears as a few lumps. Also she itches where there is no
eruption. There are blotches where she scratches.
"I am a basket case. If I ever come in contact with him I'd stick a knife
in." She was referring to an ex partner that she was with for 11 years, the
first 6 loving with him. She met him after her husband died and he got her a
job at the gas board. "We use to have such lovely holidays abroad together.
'79 husband died, '86ish started living with J. '97 stopped living with him
but was still seeing him until she threw him out in Jan '02.
"I didn't want him to be around me as there was nothing left anymore
sexually. The night before we broke up it was in my house. He's sitting back
and something went ding up her (pointed to her head.) He said you are
talking to me like a dog, don't you think you are getting rid of me. I ran
out with my keys round my fingers. He pinned me back from the stairs and
trapped my fingers in the keys and I couldn't breathe. The skin split in my
fingers and I said I didn't want to see him any more. I had waited on him
hand and foot."
She can't stand the heat indoors as it makes the rash worse.
"This has left me feeling lonely. I have never been on my own for long
periods of time. I am just finding myself on my own."
Food - Eats a lot and anything but not spicy. Loves bread. Dislikes
tomatoes. " I don't think chocolate agree with me but I like it. I try not
to eat it. (How does it disagree?)
Sleep - wakes at 5am
She has had an op on nose for breathing about 15 yr. ago but is very vague
about details.
Neurotic, restless and doesn't like her own company.
Says she is a born worrier especially about her health.
"I think I have SAD syndrome. I prefer to be outdoors than in."
Extremities - circulation poor. Has cold feet.
Very neat and tidy.
Eyes - has the start of cataracts.
"Frightened that I won't be the person I used to be when nothing was a
problem to me. I have let myself go to pot. I have never been like this. I
can't even be bothered to wash my hair."
"I hate dark things about me. My bedroom is white."
She said that she was still upset about the death of her husband but I didn'
t get any more details since this isn't relevant at this time.
Knees - just started getting arthritis > moving.
She says that she has always scratched herself (her body) with her fingers.
I noticed that she was continually scratching her hands. It was sort of like
a Kali Brom thing.
