fibromyalgia help

[Tamara Der-Ohanian]

I need some help/feedback/advice on a hyper, hyper, hyper sensitive
patient who reacts very strongly (both good and bad) to homeopathic
remedies. I am afraid to try remedies on her because of her violent
reactions. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Here is her case (as at April, 2004)

- Female, 60 years old, a little overweight.
- chronic fatigue since 1992. Started while working as Supervisor of a
Social Work Agency, in a mouldy basement with cobwebs. She's learned to
manage the CFS with diet, yoga, supplements, etc. She is tired in the
a.m. and can have higher energy in early p.m.
- She also has fibromyalgia (shoulder, arms, elbows, legs, back) dry, sunny warm. Takes tylenol for pain quite often.
- chilled easily; needs socks to sleep
- takes one hour to fall asleep (if no tylenol, takes longer to fall asleep)
- very often wakes up with a headache > bowel movement
- has premonition dreams about the future and life issues and about her
mother (still alive and healthy at 96)
- vegetarian ("for health and spiritual reasons") eats small meals.
Craves bread, but does not eat it for health reasons. Likes all flavours
- small appetite; nibbles rather than having big meals
- can get bloated very easily with wrong foods and mixing foods.
- can get nauseated, with warm uncomfortable feeling in the chest, with
wrong foods and mixing foods
- tendency towards constipation
- frequent urination - every hour with some urgency (every test shows
silent UTI)
- prone to yeast infections
- periods were regular and menopause was smooth (lately gets hot flashes
on and off)
- mental foggyness < a.m.

Personality:
- extremely conscientious
- perfectionist
- looks calm on the outside, but mind is racing "if I have a project, I
won't let it go until completed - I can drive myself crazy until it's
perfect" "I want people to be absolutely happy with what I give them"
- some obsessive-compulsive behaviours
- strong claustrophobia
- strong fear of flying
- fear of dogs
- fear of security (checks and rechecks locks, stove, etc before bed)
Remedies given

Carc. LM 1 - 20 days in a row. She felt a surge of energy and could not
believe how good she ffelt for 3 weeks. The first night she had itchy
skin all over < legs. The 2nd day she had "3 severe bowel movements".
Then her energy went up, up, up, with improvement in digestion, bowels,
sleep and fibromyalgia pains reduced by 80%. By May 1st, however, her
energy dropped drastically, and she developed a severe headache for 3
days, with blackouts in upper right corner of eye.

Silica 12C helped the headache. She started taking Silica acutely for
headaches with good results. Now the Silica does not work for the
headaches.

Her symptoms started coming back so I gave more Carc. - but she got
worse on it. More headaches, blackouts, fatigue, etc.

I tried Silica LM 1 - she did well on it for a few days then got severe
headaches, tiredness, fogginess, forgetfulness, etc. etc.

I tried Silica LM 3 (one pellet) felt exceptionally tired for a day,
then had a bowel movement and felt pretty good and energetic for one
day. Then Sx returned.

The only lasting improvement is the fibromyalgia pains - about 50% -
with the initial Carc LM 1

Thanks for listening.

Hi Tamara,

Whilst she sounds v. Calc'y, have you looked at Glon. ? It is
oversensitive, severe h/ache rx. Just a thought, without repping.

Good luck, Barbara

Tamara,
Why the repeated doses using the LM potenices? If you see a good response
from the first dose you should wait before dosing again. Repeated dosing in
itself can cause you complications. Have you read the information in
regards to dosing with LM's on the site of David Little?
You may want to try this approach with the next remedy you choose.

Tamara,
Please contact me off list about this case. I have had several remarkably similar cases, and have some suggestions about maintaing cause that may be of some help. I've also seen a very frequent connection between fibromyalgia and the lac remedies, so even if they do not 'rep out' high, you may wish to consider adding them to your reading list for this case.

Thanks Donna: I've used LM potencies because she is so very sensitive.
What I did not mention in my original case is I waited about a month
before giving more Carc. By this time, a lot of her symptoms were
coming back, so I felt it was time to redose.

Also look at magnesium supplementation.
Do a google search on magnesium & fibromyalgia.
Many improve just with repletion of magnesium

I would suggest that Carc was the right prescription but, she took so much
of it that she began to prove it. I would consider letting the effects of
the remedy wear off or trying a different potency.

Hi,

This case appears to me Agar based on the causative factor and
a cursory exam of the following rubrics.or probably the case
presentation by Jayesh Shaw that I recently attended is still haunting me.
But he arrived at it by the vital sensation method. Based on my experience
with
lac-d which beautifully worked for a case of chronic headache whenever
she was constipated, etc; I would value it too for a consideration in your
case.

MIND - ANXIETY - future, about
MIND - ANXIETY - health; about - others; of
MIND - ANXIETY - health; about - own health; her/his
MIND - SELF-DENIAL
MIND - SOCIABILITY
MIND - THOUGHTS - rush, flow of - sleeplessness from
SLEEP - SLEEPLESSNESS - weariness - lower limbs; from tiredness of
SLEEP - SLEEPLESSNESS - sleepiness - with - thoughts; from
HEAD - PAIN - constipated, while
HEAD - PAIN - stool - after - amel.
GENERALS - HEAT - lack of vital heat
GENERALS - DIARRHEA amel.
EXTREMITIES - CHILLINESS - Foot

VES also suggested agar.

hope this helps,
V.T.Yekkirala.

Hi Tamara,

I also am wondering whether over-repetition could be the problem? Maybe
have her try a single dose (maybe of LM2 this time), and wait (a week or
so?) to see whether that single dose acts?
