Minutus

HI all and especially Andrew, Piet, Joy, Finrod, Wendy and Isali,

I thank you for your contributions to the case. I am learning much about the
different ways you each perceive a situation and the varying ways in which
you go about finding the potential remedy. Also the differing depths or all
encompassing of potential important symptoms between your casetaking.

I appreciate your assessment even if you have felt that the details were not
of your usual depth in casetaking.

A couple of points if I may. It was mentioned that the patient could be
'clairvoyant'. I don't think this is the case. She is more 'intuitive' which
I think is the term I used. i.e. seems to understand people well and be able
to assess a situation and the probable consequences. She also does not
appear resentful of the ills and manipulation around her but rather seems to
have more of an attitude that she will not participate in the 'games' and
allows people to get on with what they will but distances herself even if
that means not having association with family so as to not be embroiled.

'I sense she does not easily feel part of what is going on' perhaps could be
better worded as 'does not feel able to participate or that she belongs in
the way of life of those around her'

I do not see a 'Confusion, identity, as to his
Delusion, far off.
Unreal, everything seems
Dullness, understands questions only after repeating'

She appears very on the ball and always new ideas etc.

I would like to put you up to date with what I have done. I felt I needed
to do something for the patient while your suggestions were being discussed
[as per your okay Joy] so re-repped as basically as I could covering in
particular the physicals and allowing for a mental picture of anxiety but
without my embellishment

chest, tight
sneezing
mucous
fear
anxiety
cough

I looked at a few remedies and came up with kali iod. [which you also later
mentione din your interesting list Piet.] Although some symptoms of kali iod
are not present I find

acute catarrh of all mucous membranes esp. larynx and lungs
acute affections of respiratory organs
pneumonia
swollen glands, hard
present anxiety and depression
must be busy
melancholy
fear of people
desire to travel
fear of evil & overcarefulness
acute inflammation of lachrymal duct
sneezing
difficult almost wheezing respiration
stool variations
wedge-like pain from right ovary to uterus
croup caused by long-continued damp weather
asthma, hay asthma,
shortage of breath when talking
as if something resists expansion of chest
chest - external coldness
oppression sternum
swelling axillary glands
constant, heavy oppressive in region of heart [feels squeezed]
palpitation from exertion
pericarditis in complication with croupous pneumonia
incarcerated flatulence
limbs - constrictive sensations
numb feeling in thighs and legs
tearing in left elbow
enlarged lymphatic glands
worse lying on back and wet weather

5 days ago I made up ioduretted solution of potass. iod. dose 2 drops x 2
day first day. 2nd day patient awoke with rales in chest and coughed up a
lot of mucous. I put dose up to 5 drops twice a day for 2 days, then 10
drops x 2. patient has not sneezed since 2nd day. There has been no
difficult respiration, chest pain , heaviness or palpitations unless a dose
is missed and coughing has been reduced to approx twice a day in short bout
i.e. a minute or two, bringing up mucous which now is little.
Constrictive/bubbling feeling in left arm is almost gone. There has been no
flatulence since 2nd day, abdominal pain/bubbling sensation in ileocecal
region is minimal and patient feels constrictive/tingling sensation around
left knee may be slightly less.

I respectfully ask your kind advice from here

thankyou

Beverly

The proof of the pudding is in the eating!

A remedy is homoeopathic if the patient has taken it and it has shown
benefit!

VERY WELL DONE.
I have found that discussing cases with colleagues often leads one towards
the remedy anyway whatever their input!

My only recommendation about the case management is that as your remedy has
done well, sit back and observe carefully. Do not repeat the remedy too
soon - many a case is ruined by too early a repetition.

Repeat only if the pt needs another dose because some of the symptoms are
coming back. (Watch out for the return of old symptoms).
=======

This case was useful because it allowed us to discuss various issues and I
hope it was of help generally. It certainly made me think [Always a new
experience !! ))))))))) ].
=======

I look forward to more cases.

Thankyou for your support Soroush

I just wonder if there is a depth that hasn't been touched but of course
that will show up and can be re-repped then can't it.

thanks again,

Beverly

I agree that this was a very useful exercise -- a good learning opportunity.
Thanks to all who shared their thoughts.

Beverly,

Nice to hear things are going much better.
I wander when someone had suggested this remedy, how the respons from the
minutes members would have been.
I read some materia medica about this remedy, the physical symptoms are
mostly covered, but the rest, yes you see some points, but, but...........
I'm also curious how the case develops.
What was the given potency ?

regards, Piet

Hello Piet

I used a la Boericke 1tpn [5gm] pot. iod pwder and 2 drops only 10% [as I
didn't have 5% which should have been approx 4 drops] iodine to 1 oz water.
2 drops from that as 1st dose. If I had not see some result in the first 2
doses I would have used a potentised formula.

I agree, I wonder if the depth of the problem is being addressed. I will
keep you up to date on development of the case and appreciate your
continuing comments on it if you are kind enough to do so.

thanks

Beverly
