This is the case of a 22 yrs old male from Newark, USA, a
student of Computer science, reported with urticaria since 3
yrs. Patient would get red rashes on the skin wherever he
would scratch the skin. The complaints would begin with
intense itching which would later lead to development of
rashes on the parts scratched, more on the back and legs.
These complaints would occur 3 to 4 times daily being worst
at night. He would suffer badly after taking chicken, meat,
eggs and pickles. The itching would get worse after a warm
bath. He would experience relief only after taking anti-histaminics,
the effect of which would also be short lasting.
Other aspects of his case:
Stress of achieving deadlines for projects or assignments
was an important element in this case especially because he
would procrastinate his work till the last moment. He was a
shy person especially when it came to interacting with
females. He would fear dogs, lizards, snakes and ghosts. He
would be afraid when alone in darkness. He was very attached
to his friends and would be extremely hurt when they would
misunderstand him.
There was no history of any major illnesses in the past or
in his family.
Based on these symptoms the patient was prescribed
homoeopathic medicines and he did extremely well with the
treatment. He was put on a drug caled Apis alongwith a few
doses of Astacus and Medusa. Within just 4 months of
treatment, his urticaria was almost cured. He would no
longer get the rashes as he used to get before. He would
occasionally get some kind of irritation of the skin but
that would subside soon enough without any treatment. Thus
he got cured of his 3 years long problem and he led a much
better quality of life. |
