Cured case for List
Posted: Tue Oct 29, 2002 4:06 pm
Here is a cured case which people can work on as desired, will post
answer in a few days.
Case:
11 yr old male, dark hair. Chief complaint: inability to speak due to
warts on larynx. Hoarseness started at 5 yrs old after a cold. (Father
also left the home at age 5). Warts came on a few years later, same
year was in a car accident, suffering subluxations in cervical spine..
Warts got progressively worse until 7 months before case-taking when he
began to have breathing problems, excessive mucus, enlarged tonsils. At
that point, the throat was operated on and warts were stripped off one
side of larynx, but they came back quickly, and all concerned wanted to
avoid more surgery.
The boy was a somewhat soft, flabby kid, nice person, did not seem
like he was any problem to his mother or others. His hoarseness was
painless, worse in AM, and generally prevented speech (pt mother was
relaying answers, and pt nodded and gave hoarse answers). He has
vertigo when at heights, after excitement, and after rising from chair.
Has pain in the heels with Rhus-t modalities. He bites his nails. His
legs feel weak on getting out of a car. He has a nasal catarrh with
white mucous.
He weeps sometimes; when spoken to, when remonstrated, and sometimes
without provocation. He has anger about the injustice in school
sports. He is untidy. He gets restless when it rains, because cannot
go outside. He gets sad , which is worse at night. He fears poverty
and spiders.
Sleep position mostly on R, tired in AM on waking; lethargic,
lackadaisical. Generally. < heat, appetite good, desires pizza, cold
milk, spicy, sweets; averse to onions, fat.
Best Regards,
