“Rheumatoid Arthiritis diagnosed in the year 1996. Started as a sudden pain and inflammation in the right knee when I was twelve years old (1992). Ignoring it as minor problem, then pain returned in 1994 in the left knee and for few days I was unable to walk and had to take the prescribed medication. AIIMS doctors diagoned it as Juvenile arthiritis with multiple joints involved. In year 1996, AIIMS doctors confirmed that its rhumatoid arthiritis with RA+ and ANA+ results. I started taking medications prescibed by AIIMS doctots but there were side effects like hunger loss, stomach upset etc. In 1998,I faced severe pains all over my body – shoulders, face, fingers, toes etc. One renowed doctor prescribed a medicine which had sulphur and it caused severe itching all over my body. Had to be admitted in emergency and itching controlled by giving Avil. Though the itchy feeling (as if ants are moving on my body) still remains with me to this day. Continued with allopathy off and on.”
“The main complaints I am facing are swelling around both knees and on right foot. A month ago the problem got so severe that I could barely walk. I again went to a allopathy doctor here in US and he prescribed me non steroidal anti inflammatory medications which had side effects like dizziness, nausea and sleepiness. So I stopped taking them again after taking for three weeks. More so beacuse of the severe side effects that these medicines have in the long run. The problem of swelling (as if there is some fluid inside) has aggravated probably because I am overweight. I delivered a baby girl August 2008 by a C-section. The overall weight gain during pregnancy was 30 pounds but I gained 10 pounds more during these last ten months aftre delivery. I got all tests done – blood test ,urine test, thyroid test. All are normal except little bit of less hemoglobin. Recently got my eyes checked too because I had blurry vision and itchy eyes for long. Doctor told me I have dry eyes. So in brief, I would like to try homeopathy till I get cured. Main problems that I face are RA, overweight and dry itchy skin. Persistant rain, dampness, sometimes sweat, stress, tension about anything, not getting proper rest and sleep, exhaustion increases my symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.”
Review after 2 months of treatment: “Hello Dr. Rohit, sorry I am late in writing to you, but was very busy last one month. And so missed taking my medications for 15 days in between. I resumed taking it back from where I stopped a week ago. I am taking tube 9th and tube 10th right now and would take it for one more week before starting with 11th and 12th tube. I know I should not have been careless in completely forgetting the medicines for 15 days but I again resumed. As far as the feedback of the medicine is concerned…swelling below my right knee has greatly reduced and in the left knee too I see some change. Though the bag like structure has not completely gone but definitely there is improvement in swelling. I will be finished with medicines in say another 20 days…so I think the second lot of medinice could be sent. Also I feel improvement in all the symptoms related to RA.”
