Okay, I wanted to make sure this man was invested in trying homeopathy before proceeding...HE IS.

I have given aspects of his case before, but he wasn't willing to give up whatever he needed to give up at the time. Now he is willing... so here goes:

Cluster migraines as described above. Pain is like head will burst. Like a swelling and a tightening at the same time. "Feels like something trying to get out". THese cluster migraines started when he was about 14 years old.

Physically: Thinner arms and legs as compared to a pot belly that has grown a bit larger since starting a sedentary job.

Has developed a non-cancerous lympoma on sides of face, chest and back. The worst nodules are the size of a large pea and red...a little shiney. The ones on back and chest sometimes itch. Has been getting funny little minor shooting pains around the ones on face (Maybe because they've gotten large enough to seems to have started after a slip in his drug and alcohol recovery where for a couple months he got back into drinking heavily once or twice a week and then tried cocaine again a couple times before giving it all up again. HE smoked the cocaine and on his last night he did a LOT of it. That was about 10 months ago now. (the lymphoma started about a month after that) He has not drank or did any drugs since. Obviously he had a previous history with this and had been clean and sober for about 6 years before the slip.

HE still smokes cigarettes but wants very much to quit. Loves to eat. Eats lots of garlic, butter, other spicy foods. No real dislikes towards foods. Within an hour after eating beef or pork meals MUST use the toilet for bowel movement.

His skin is often very warm. Must have a cool or cold bedroom to sleep well. But he doesnt' like winter weather. Like sunshine. Tans easily....of darker skinned Dutch heritage.

Can develop anxiety where he finds it hard to hold conversations, be in certain places...wants to get away. He doesn't always have this...it comes and goes.

Currently the migraines have just switched sides and are very bad....coming on about 10 times a day.

Also, a couple times this summer he lost his voice for seemingly no reason for a morning before slowly getting it back during the day.

Anything else I can ask him about himself to help?

Thanks
