Dear Members

Here is a case for discussion.
I treated this case 4 years ago.
I left the information in its raw state.
Everybody welcome to have a go on it and sort it out.
Lots of fun!

I am 52 , female, married 3 children.
I have heard a lot of good things of homeopathy and decided to give it a go mainly for my hot flushes, which I suffer for the last two years. They come 4-6 times a day and affect mostly my head and are very embarrassing. My doctor put me on the HRT last year, but it did not agree, so I left it off.
I also suffer depression and was on medication for that on and off, but ever since I got the hot flushes, it lessened.
I also had a lump in my breast, which was surgically removed four years ago. They said it was not cancerous, but deep in my heart I don’t believe them, because they also took out the glands under my arms. I won’t tell this to the homeopath, as I am coming for the hot flushes I am suffering, only if hard pressed I would.
I also developed this skin-itch in the last year. It is mainly on my feet and comes on at nighttimes. My doctor gave me a cortisone cream for it, but this does not seem to work anymore. It is very annoying. Looking at it you won’t see much—just a red area. But it can burn like mad, and nothing can stop it.
The periods are gone for the last 3 years and I got a discharge instead, which is sometimes yellow. It is not itching or so and there is no particular smell of it.
My hair is getting thin and light and a lot falls out, but I suppose there is nothing what can be done about. I got this tonic in the health-food-shop but it does not seem to work either.
I get occasional headaches, sometimes when travelling, but I haven’t had one for ages. I am short-sighted and wear glasses. The eyesight did not change for a long time.
My energies are generally good, I am not overweight. Nearly all of my teeth are gone, but I used to indulge in sweets and blame it onto that.
I got a few brown spots lately on my face, but this could be with the age. The hearing good, the sense of smell normal. I got my tonsils removed when I was a child. I used to have a lot of chest-infections when I was younger, but now I only get the occasional touch—actually I am surprised—I hardly got anything the last 2-3 years.
The sleep is grand, the appetite good even though I can’t take fatty things anymore.
Nothing about the kidney-bladder.
The back used to give me a lot of trouble sometime ago, actually that was at least 10 years—but not so now. My digestion is regular.
I have no allergies, cold or hot don’t really affect me either.
I am getting on with live and take a day as it comes. The children are nearly gone, just the youngest is still around. My husband is working long hours and I feel sometimes lonely.
My mother used to live with us but died about 10 years ago. This changed a lot in my live and thinking back—this is where my depressions really started. And if I get depressed, then I have to be alone—I can’t stand my husband or the children. Or I have to go outside and walk , walk fast—that helps. But really, this has nothing to do with the hot flushes, and I would only tell if confident and if asked specifically.
