Khairun Nesha, a 40-year-old woman, visited me on 10th March 2002 regarding her issue. In 1998, she underwent an appendectomy, and following that surgery, she developed an ‘Incisional Hernia’ that was operated on in September 2000. She was well for 9 months, and then she began to experience pain in the right iliac area radiating down to the right lower limb. Once again, she sought the opinion of a surgeon who recommended an ultrasound, revealing a ‘Tubo ovarian mass’ on the right side, while the left appeared cystic. The patient’s family reached out to me on the mentioned date to prevent surgery.
She experienced additional symptoms that aided in choosing the medication, which were these:
- She felt increased pain between 1 to 2 pm and when allowing her affected limb to dangle down.
- She was afraid of ghosts and thunderstorms.
- She could not stay alone, always longing for companionship.
- She was soft, tender, and sophisticated.
- She enjoyed salt, meat, moderately spicy dishes and felt thirsty.
- She was not fond of bathing regularly.
- Her period was consistent but limited, dark in colour, painful, and lasted for 2 days.
Medication overview:
March 10, 2002: I recommended taking pulsatilla 200/4 doses twice a day for two days, followed by sac lactis for a month.
April 25, 2002: The patient stated there was no progress, so I prescribed pulsatilla 200/4 doses and Nihilinum/sac lac for 1 month.
June 9, 2002: The patient reported a 30-40% improvement, so the prescription was sac lactis for another month. To continue her therapy, I had to repeat pulsatilla in extended intervals up to 10m potency.
February 15, 2003: Her ultrasound showed no abnormalities, and since then, she has been living a normal life.
