Follow-Up on de quervain's tendonitis

The patient returns for followup visit after 15 days. She is about 15 days status post her last Bryonia 30C dose. Meanwhile, she saw an orthopedic surgeon who performed the same manuever Finkelstein maneuver, which i had performed on her and told her to suffering from tendinitis, which is caused by taking care of her baby and washing cloths. She advised her some anti-inflammatory medication and calcium and avoid to holding her baby with care and with appropriate hand position, avoiding washing, and certain household activities. She was given a prescription for gloves and physical therapy at patient's request.

She consulted physical therapist for gloves ant PT, but was unimpressive about gloves as they were not same as shown by me and also about physical therapist as she asked to do some maneuver, but not that which i have done and the orthopedic surgeon and said that your problem is very mild and would be cured completely in 10 days physical therapist so she did not go ahead with any of these.

She is taking the anti-inflammatory medication when the pain is severe. She consulted me on 31 December because she started to have periods and has some breast pain after breastfeeding. Now, she has noticed that her pain is worse at night, with eating sour things, and overuse of hands. She states that her pain is somewhat better with measurements taken by her, Bryonia, and anti-inflammatory medication (Paracetamol) when pain is quite severe.

She is asked to take Bryonia 30C three dose once again and visit for followup visit in 10 days. She was also shown the Thumb_Spica_Splint image which should used and this link to purchase online Thumb_Spica_Splint online in India was shown. She was very appreciative of the care and shown interest to purchase the Thumb_Spica_Splint from http://www.tynorindia.com/.

Acne: Homoeopathic Treatment: Acne Online free consultation #2

This request was made by the patient's husband. The patient is a 31-year-old female who has pus and blood filled pimples mainly on forehead and templates for five-6 years.

Her acne were previously worse before menses, but now they are even after and condition is worsening for some time.

Upon further questioning, we noted that the patient has irregular, clotted, late menstruation. She is generally less thirsty and decreased tolerance to cold.

Sulphur, Sepia, and Causticum were in picture and as the patient is less thirsty, chilly, habit of talking loudly, I went go ahead and advised her husband to give her wife Sepia 30C 2-3 drop directly on clean tongue three times at 10 minute interval only for one day.
Another method of taking this in distilled water was also described to the patient and he was asked to try this method if he can arrange 1 liter distilled water. This method has less chance of any type of aggravation of condition.

No response up until now by the husband (April 5, 2009).

Kent's Homoeopathic Rubrics For Acne Treatment

Acne, comedones, pimples, papules, pustules, and tubercles From Kent Homoeopathic Repertory

In acne usually skin of face is affected. There are many homoeopathic medicines, which are very effective successfully used for skin eruption of face. They are mainly Sulphur, Ant-Crud, Psorinum, etc. (Face Eruption), and many of them can be used for Acne on face. If one has acne, which are markedly aggravated by becoming heated i.e. after sporting activities there is aggravation of acne or new breakthrough of acne. Another indication for Causticum is that acnes are red and occurs in groups. Acne with marked reddish tint are defined as Acne rosacea for which there are about 15 medicines.

If one had acne only on any particular area of face i.e. only in forehead, chin, and nose and if one has acne only nose then he would be benefited by Causticum very much while individual with acne on forehead would be benefited by sulphur quite well.

Homoeopathic medicines are also given according to the severity of acne as well. Very mild form or stage of acne is comedones, which are skin colored bump and may black colored so called blackheads. There are some homoeopathic medicines including Calc. Sulf, Graphites, Sel, and Sulphur, which can remove the comedones on face. Comedones on forehead can be removed by Sulphur very effectively.

Itching (face eruptions with itching) is usually absent in acne eruption, but if you have acne with itching then Sulphur would help you along with some other homoeopathic medicine.

Eruption papular and pimples
The next stage of acne is papules (inflamed pimples), which are small bumps with pinkish color. They may be painful also. Papules are mild form of pimples and pustules (inflamed and infected pimples ) are severe form pimples. Papules are inflamed bumps without infection while pustules are inflamed and infected bumps. At this stage some other homeopathic medications are given according to presence of itching (Graphites would work along with others) and according to location i.e. once again pimples on nose Caust would work along with Am-C. and Calc. Carb.

Eruption pustules
Pustular acne are very troublesome and wants great effort to clear them. Pustules indicates something more serious within body economy and wanted some deeper acting medicines like tuberculinum

Pus containing pustules and tubercles
If one have acne which tends to suppurate quite easily then Ant-Crud, Psorinum, and Rhus Tox are best indicated. Tubercles (cysts) are the severe form of acne and unfortunately they are very difficult to be cured by any means.

These are some main description related to acne which on can find in Kent Repertory.

Please do not take any homoeopathic medicine based upon this article. You can take any of them under supervision of qualified experienced homoeopathic person. Homoeopathic self-medication without proper knowledge about of homoeopathy and homoeopathic medicines may be harmful.

Follow-up on De Quervain's tendinitis case

24 hour after the dose of Bryonia, The patient told to have no effect on pain or anything else happened. She was advised to take three times a day at 3-4 hour interval for five days because it has benefited for breast pain of same nature in past. On third day, the patient reported some painful lump in the breast and the patient was advised to stop the Bryonia as not to take anything else. She was also described about this possibility and now she said to me that she would stay on homoeopathic treatment as if it also treated allopathically it may appear once again whenever she takes any homoeopathic treatment for anything else. I asked her to report in 24 hour and she reported only mild pain relief, which does not progressed yet any more on December 9, 2008.

I told her to wait for two days more and report me after that. I think due to presence of exciting cause i.e. taking care of her baby, which she cannot avoid and other activities of daily living she is not progressing much.

I once again suggested to take complete rest at least three days. I also suggested trying physical therapy also.

Follow-ups on Acne in 30-year-old female

On November 23, 2008 patient reported
"I took the sulphur this morning, 3 x 30c every 10mins from 9am till midday. Through out the morning i felt increasingly achey in my muscles, mainly my gluts, my back and across my shoulders. I put this down to my workout this morning but i did nothing i normally do and it was not strenuous. I am thinking it might be the sulphur. I am also shivery/cold but with a hot face, very lethargic and disoriented and nauseous (though not been sick. This is all totally out of character for me and I felt fine until about 10am after the sulphur. Is this possible and should this be happening? It is now 1430 and I still feel unwell as above. "

I reassured the patient and said wait and see

On November 24, 2008 the patient reported

"Right now I feel normal again! I have been to the toilet twice this morning with very loose bowels but now I am fine. I have little appetite. My skin seems worse these last 2 days, but mainly on my left and spreading higher up my face. The spots are painful and swollen. My hands and feet do not feel so cold! Will the excess sulphur cease to work or will the desired outcome still be the same?"

Once again, I reassured her and said "it is good indication, outcome still be same, please do not take any medication now for anything until any major requirement"

On evening of November 24, 2008 she reported
"I will ammend and say I have been to the toilet CONSTANTLY all day! Still no appetite but apart from that I feel OK. Not taking any more medication, homeopathic or otherwise. I will update you in 3 days as requested originally or if anything immediate changes, then sooner."



Comment by Dr. Rakesh: So this is a classical case of homoeopathic aggravation i.e. short and sharp aggravation, but patient says "i feel OK". Second onset of diarrhea suggesting discharge.

Keep in touch to know the outcome after this homoeopathic aggravation

Running Case: Acne in 30-year-old female

This 30-year-old female has acne mild to moderate in severity for many years controlled with oral contraceptive, which has been stopped in order to conceive.
Her acnes are papular and pustular with purplish tint. Sometimes they suppurate. They did not itch and the main location of acne is chin and lower jaw line. These are worse during warm condition.
Generalities: The patient is a cheerful lady with increased need of sleep for refreshment. It is hard to her to awake from sleep in the morning. Her dreams are vivid. Her menses are regular, scanty, short duration, brown fluid with clotted blood. Her acne complaints are much more worse during and just after menses. She wants a definite tasty food. At present, her thirst and appetite are increased. The patient has very dry skin in hands.
She is an active and exercising lady with fit body structure. Her bowel movements are regular.
After considering all of these, Lyco, Sulphur, Lach, and Graphites were considered.
Graphites have many of acne symptoms and menses symptoms of this lady, but is discarded at this due to her fit body and regular bowel movements.

Sulphur and Lyco both have dry skin in hands so it was decided to start treatment with Sulphur 30C, but it seems that she is a Lyco female and would be given after some dosages of Sulphur 30C.
I hope good improvement in her acne condition. She is presently using aloe topically which is quite beneficial for her and is advised to wash face with luke warm water and take Sulphur 30C in the morning that would certainly help.
Keep in touch and know her progress

Dengue Fever and its Homoeopathic Treatment

Dengue fever is a benign acute febrile syndrome.

Dengue fever is caused by four closely related virus serotypes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae.

Infection with one of these serotypes provides immunity to only that serotype for life, so persons living in a dengue-endemic area can have more than one dengue infection during their lifetime

In a small proportion of cases, the virus causes increased vascular permeability that leads to a bleeding diathesis or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) known as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Secondary infection by a different dengue virus serotype has been confirmed as an important risk factor for the development of DHF.

Infections produce a spectrum of clinical illness ranging from a nonspecific viral syndrome to severe and fatal hemorrhagic disease

In 20-30% of DHF cases, the patient develops shock, known as the dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Worldwide, children younger than 15 years comprise 90% of DHF subjects.

Symptoms appear 3—14 days after the infective bite.

Symptoms range from a mild fever, to incapacitating high fever, with severe headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and rash.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, bleeding) is a potentially lethal complication, affecting mainly children.

History of Present Illness

Fever with abrupt onset, rising to 39.5-41.4°C. Accompanied by frontal or retro-orbital headache (pain behind eyes). Fever usually lasts 1-7 days, then return to normal body temperature for 1-2 days then recurring with second rash but not as high.

Rash

Initial rash transient, generalized, macular, and blanching; occurs in first 1-2 days of fever. Second rash occurring within 1-2 days of normal body temperature, lasting 1-5 days. Second rash morbilliform, maculopapular, sparing palms and soles. Occasionally desquamates

Bone pain

Absent in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS)
After onset of fever
Increases in severity
Not associated with fractures
May last several weeks
Most common in legs, joints, and lumbar spine

Miscellaneous symptoms

Nausea and vomiting
Cutaneous hyperesthesia
Taste aberrations
Anorexia
Abdominal pain (severe in DHF/DSS)

Physical

Fever, Signs of intravascular volume depletion, hypotension with narrowed pulse pressure, delayed capillary refill, hemorrhagic manifestations

Positive tourniquet test
Petechiae, purpura, epistaxis, gum bleeding, GI bleeding, menorrhagia
Rash
Hepatomegaly (inconsistent)
Generalized lymphadenopathy

Homoeopathic Treatment Of Dengue Fever

As other diseases homoeopathy works great if treated according to symptoms of patient not by the name of disease. As written earlier, Dengue fever clinical manifestation ranges from mild viral illness to severe DHF. The symptomatology produced by Eupatorium Perfoliatum is similar to dengue so it is very useful medicine for treating dengue fever and preventing dengue fever while epidemics.

Eup Per 200 C can be used for prevention for dengue. Take 2-3 pills once a day for 4 days if you live in epidemic areas and if you are suffering with fever with classical symptoms of dengue i.e. fever with lots of muscle pain, eye pain, headache, weakness, and live in epidemic area then you can use this medicine 3-4 hourly for 4 to 5 days.

If you do not get prompted relief then you can take additional Rhus Tox 200 C 2-3 pills alternating with Eup Per 200 C.

If you have vomiting and nausea symptoms then you should take Ipecac 200C instead of Rhus Tox 200 C.
For persistence weakness after fever and recovery phase, use China 30 C and Carbo Veg 30 C. to make recovery faster and get back strength soon.
