Dear Dr.Udaya,
He took 3 doses of Psorinum yesterday. There wasn't a significant improvement in the itching. It was slightly better but he said he did end up scratching his scalp during the night.
I am going to have him try Graphites 30. I noticed you said 3 doses of graphites. Is that 3 doses in one day or one dose per day for 3 days?
Thank you,
Skill

Continue with psorinum upto three days. It starts working slowly. Graphites can follow psorinum well. three doses for one day only. You have to be very cautious and gradual when you are dealing with skin ailments and in particular psoric. Go slow.

Sorry, Dr.Udaya. didn't mean to sound as if I was in a hurry. I assumed you wanted Graphites to be admintered immediately after Psorinum.
Will adminster Psorinum for 3 days and report back.
Thank you,

I generally mentioned it skill. Because hurrying may flare up the skin ailments out of control. That is why.

Dr.Udaya,
The 3 day course of Psorinum 30 has been completed. I took some pics just now. Sent them to your account shortly.
Observations:
There isn't much improvement in itching.
Should he revert back to Nux Vom 200 or should we just wait? The only remedy being used is Chrysarobinum6C in
vaseline base at nights.
As I mentioned before scalp area covered by lesions has increased. have noticed that missing the application of the chrysarobinum laced vaseline even for one night makes the skin look pretty bad with lot of dryness and scales. But even with the application, it's not smooth like how it was when we had first started using Nux 200.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
Skill

You have not used the Sulphur 10M single dose with which the treatment was supposed to be started. You may use higher potency of Nux of 1M one dose a week and see how it works. Also give other symptoms. Do not focus only on skin symptoms.

Dr.Udaya,
As mentioned in my post dated (8.45PM PST on 3/20/10), Sulphur 10M was adminstered on March 19th.
I will give him Nux Vom 1M. Should we resume Arnica 6C which was being given 3 times a day along with Nux vom 200 or is that not required?
He hasn't consumed alcohol from the start of this treatment per your instructions.
I haven't noticed any changes in his eating habits. no other noticable changes.
He said he hasn't felt any noticeable changes either.
Thanks,
Skill

Dr.Udaya,
My husband took the single dose of Nux Vom 1M on Saturday. He left on Sunday on a business trip. He will be returning tonight. I will be able to report on the status of the scalp lesions upon his return.
One thing that I wanted to mention was that Nux really seems to help him stay calm.
Best Regards,

ok. The expression of the ailment or the manifestation of the aillment has one of the root cause in the stress he is undergoing. His job seems stresseful, his home environment with ailing son seems stressful. Therefore, I am not surprised at the continued manifestation of psoriasis. Nux Vomica do to large extent justice in correcting the liver, the anger, the composure, the equanimity, that the person feels less stressful and thus abating the manifestation of the ailment spreading to larger areas. The adrinal also need fundamental support through Natrum Mur and Thuja. With best wishes.

Dr.Udaya,
You are right about stress factor, mainly Job oriented stress. Also I don't know if you recall but he also has high BP from a very young age as described in the initial post. He takes one pill a day for that.
When should Natrrum Mur and Thuja be adminstered? Should I get him started on them now or should we wait? Also, please specify the dosage fequency/duaration.
my husband returned last night. There is no hint of reddish hue on the spots on the forehead 
Lot of dry scales on most of the scalp 
While on the trip, he said that he could not apply Chrysarobinum laced vaseline properly on all areas of the scalp as he cannot see them. Ususally, I apply it on his scalp every night.
Also, what about Arnica 6C. Do we not need to resume it? You had asked us to stop it along with nux while taking Psorinum.
Thanks,
Skill

You can put him on Thuja followed by Natrum Mur any time. This will address the root cause or reason or the tendency to high blood pressure and consequently cure it. Arnica can be restarted any time. It was only time specific when I asked you to stop it.

Dear Dr.Udaya,
It's been a while since the last update. After the dosage of Thuja30 and Natmur 30 were completed, we stayed with the weekly dose of Nuxvom 1M and the daily 3 doses of Arnica 6C. Chrysarobinum laced vaseline was stopped because he felt that his scalp itched more with the application of Chrysarobinum.
You had always asked me to observe symptoms other than skin but to be honest with you, there haven't been any other obvious outwardly symptoms. The only thing that I can notice is that he is calmer than before. Also, he hasn't been drinking Alcohol per your instructions. However, there were 2 occassions when he had consumed 1 beer each time and I was extremely upset about it-- to the extent that I told him that I will no longer post any updates since we had failed the condition that you had imposed, I felt that we had no right to ask for advice. He has since understood and I can't stand back and watch without attempting to cure him. So, please excuse the slip up and guide us. I made sure that he got his weekly dose of Nux Vom 1M and that he is taking the wet dose of Arnica6C daily.
There is no reduction in the flakes on the scalp. Some days are more worse than others. One thing that I noticed is that application of a heavy mositurizing cream seems to calm the condition a bit. The dryness on the index finger is under control but we noticed that the area around the nails of the other fingers is very dry and peeling.
I know that this is not a condition that can be cured quickly but I have lot of faith that you can cure him.
Should we continue NuxVom or give it a break since he has been on it for a while now? Please advise on the next steps.
Best Regards,
Skill

Pleasegive me further details now:

1. Arsenic Album 30 three doses for one day.
2. Carcinosinum 1M one single dose.
3. Next day Arsenic Album 30 three doses for one day.
Wait for a day. If no improvements are seen
use
4. Ignatia Amara 30 three doses for one day.
5. Mercurious Bin iodide 3X
6. Mezerium 200 one dose.
7. Petroleum 200 one dose
The medicines are to be taken in this order and stop at the point where benefits are received. Benefits will be seen in itching first and burning, if any. Stop and report when any of the medicines give benefit. In arsenic album the following areas will show benefit i,e, itching, burning, stomach upsets, hurriedness, anxiety, nausea if any, When Arsenic is taken you may find some aggravation, it will subside, if not use one dose of Carbo veg 30. with best wishes.,

Dr.Udaya,
Answers to your Questions:
1. Is he restless and what is his stomach condition? Is there burning anywhere? Is the burning any relieved by warmth? Is there nausea?
-- doesn't appear to be restless and stomach condition is normal. No burning or nausea.
2. Is there any aggravation after anger or disputes?
-- haven't seen an immediate aggravation but Stress seems to be cause aggravation. What I notice is that he tends to run his fingers through his hair/ picking at his scalp unconsicously while
busily engaged in work and ususally there is incraese in thsi type of behaviour at night.
Coming to the remedies, I have Ars Alb30 and Iganatia30, do not have Carcinosinum. Also, have Mezerium and Petroleum in 30 potency and not 200. Mercurious Bin iodide in 6X instaed of 3X potency.
Have someone coming to the US next week. WIll procure all the remedies in the correct potency and then try the treatment in the sequence mentioned in your previous post. Could you please specify any other remedies that we may need in the future? I will procure them now, it's ok even if we don't use them.
Please advise.

Use one dose of Sulphur 10M. Next day onwards use Psorinum 30 three doses a day for three days. Step up Psorinum 200 to one dose a week.
Use Carcinocinum 1M one dose every month.
If it still does not yield use Single doses of Tuberculinum 200 one dose a week up-to three doses.

Never mind about it. It is only since you asked for all medicines. In fact, Zea Italica itself is an alternate medicine as it works in conditions when no other medicines cure.
It is not well proved medicines and its only provings are on skin diseases and psoriasis so I kept it in list. See the following :
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/homeopathy_advice/Remedies/MATERA_MEDICA/zea-i.html
Materia Medica (Boericke)
Zea italica
Zea italica [Zea-i.]
General.
Possess curative properties in skin diseases, particularly in psoriasis and eczema rubrum. Mania for bathing. Impulse to suicide, particularly by drowning. Easily angered. Appetite increased, voracious, alternating with disgust for food. Pyrosis, nausea, vomiting, better drinking wine.
So you do not have to worry about it much.

Thank you, Dr.Udaya.
The 3 day course of Psorinum30 has been completed. On teh second day, he said the itching of the sclap has reduced a little. Meanwhile, there was a very stressful situation at work which necessitated participation in conference calls over night and of course, he ended up unning his fingers through his hair and scratchhed/picked on areas around the scalp making them all Red and irritated and in some cases bloody.
Carcinosinum and all the other remedies will be here by Sunday evening.
Please advise.

1. Age/Sex/Country/Climate:
9 years 10 months, female, india extreme climate (Gurgaon - NCR) extreme heat and extreme cold
2. Current complain - from how long:
Noticed jerks in sleep - a couple of times during the night.
4 months ago when she had a stomach infection, that night she had these jerks continuously.the paediatric neurologist did 2 EEGs (normal and sleep deprived) and concluded that they were myoclonic jerks (as we didn't mention to him the other symptoms he was looking for like headaches, stomach ache, auras, symmetry in jerks). Basically he found abnormal activity on the left sid eof the brain so he was expecting more jerks on the right side with a pattern. But she had assymmetric jerks of shoulders, arma and legs. We didn't mention the headaches etc to the doc as he would then conclude that she had epilepsy which we strong believed she didn't have. Moreover headaches and stomach pains etc could be due to various other reasons.
3. Current medicine you are taking:
We put her on homeo medicines (starting from MAy 2010)
1. 1.5 months - cicuta 20 + kali phos 6X 3 times a day, cuprum met 1 M alternate days 1 times a day, cina 1 M 2 times a week.
2. Next 1 month cicuta 30 + kaliphos 6X 3 times a day
3. 0.5 months cicuta 30 + kali phos 6X 2 times a day
thought he jerks have reduced there are still there every time she falls asleep. Now the doc believes that these seizers are not epileptic, but purely worm infestion related.
So since 1st aug he has put her on
Chelone gabra mother tincture 10 drops with water 3 times a day, wormcid tablets (santoninum, chenopodium, filix mas, cina, teucrium, atistia ind, sabadilla, spigelia) 2 tablets 3 times a day. Yesterday i noticed the jerks had increased in number. One thing different yesterday was that she had a lot of physical activity yesterday swimming and cycling (while she is normally very sedentary).
4. Sign & Symptom of disease:
All symptoms
1. Jerks just after she falls asleep - in arms, legs, shoulders, on both sides
2. Lethargy and disinclination towards any physical activity (from the start, however has increased since 3 years)
3. irritability (since 3 years)
4.nasal growths - some docs say they are hypertrophic turbunates and others say they are polyps
5. Blocked nose most of the times, running nose sometimes. Allergic rhinitis (increased since 3 years)
6. picks nose, rubs nose (ticking and itching in the nose and throat)
7. sore throat very often
8. Goes out of breath with least physical activity, breathes thru mouth or with a sound at night (from the start)
9. Restless sleep - tosses and turns a lot increased in the last 3-4 years)
10. leg pain (from the start) especially left leg (below knee upto foot) - has to put the leg on someone at night otherwise wakes up (from the start)
11. abdomen pain occasionally - can't find the reason
12. feel abdomen pain, nausea after drinking milk in the morning
13. mostly constipated (from the start)
14. poor appetite and thirstless
15. sensitive, hurt easily cries easily, seeks a lot of attention
16. fond of sedentary activity like reading and watching TV (from the start)
17. feels breathless fast, can't hold breath for long
18. feels hot when others don't or when others feel cold
19. mouth - fowl breath even after brushing teeth
20. itching in rectum - several times
5. Breif medical history:
Has had frequent upper respiratory infections since the beginning. had lower respiratory infection at 5. Has had growths in the nostrils which have grown over time and now block her nose 60-70 % when she has not problem and 90% when she has a cold or blocked nose
had a ganglion on one wrist removed 2 years back.
6. Family Back Ground:
her father's side has some respiratory conditions similar to hers
her father's sister's son was treated for absence seizures
7. Education and Nature of Profession of Patient:
8. Desires and aversion of food:
likes salty, crispy, fried foods
likes cold stuff - cold drinks, ice creams (steals ice cubes from fridge and licks them
likes sour foods - lemon, tamarind.
loves ghee
used to love cream and butter before but hates it now
hates bitter gourd, brinjal
9. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry..etc.:
1. irritable
2. sensitive, feels others are biased aganist her, feels no one likes her
3. No patience, particularly for monotonous activity like regular school work, writing etc.
4. Very slow - e.g. to get ready for school or do her school work
5. mood swings and irritability and behaviour changes have been since 3 years when we moved from mumbai to gurgaon and at the same time our second child arrived and she was deprived of most of the attention she used to get before
10. What makes it worse and what makes it better:
1. Jerks - physical exersion (as noticed yesterday 4th aug)
less sleep (maybe)
2. Generally all her symptoms have increased since 3 years the reason for which could be
a. change of location - moved from mumbai to gurgaon (she was better in mumbai)
b. our second child arrived and she was deprived of most of the attention she used to get before
11. Thirst/Tongue/diabetic...:
no thirst, has to be reminded to drink water, tongue white coated sometimes
