Severe urticaria with angioedema improved despite long standing illness
A 24 year old software professional with an eight year history of urticaria suffered from intense itching, widespread rashes, and recurrent angioneurotic edema affecting daily life. Symptoms worsened with stress and were linked to food allergies, raised IgE levels, and associated PCOD. After a detailed constitutional evaluation addressing physical traits, emotional stress, and hormonal imbalance, individualized homeopathic medicines were prescribed. Within weeks, the frequency and duration of rashes reduced markedly, swelling stopped, antihistamines were no longer required, and overall comfort and confidence improved significantly.
Miss D. N. J., a 24-year-old female, visited our Borivali centre on 1st May 2011 (PIN NO - 15958) with complaints of severe Urticaria with Angioneurotic edema. She had been suffering from this complaint for the past 8 years, which had increased in the past 4 months. She had severe itching followed by extensive rashes and swelling of lips, eyelids, fingers, and toes, which would subside after 2 days with antihistaminic medicines. She had undergone the blood investigation (allergy test) and was found to be allergic to a few vegetables and fruits. Her IgE levels, too, were high. She was under stress due to marital disharmony for the last 4 months.
She was also suffering from PCOD since many years. She had been on hormonal treatment since the last 7 years, but still her menses were irregular.
Her appetite was average, with marked craving for salt and aversion to sweets. She had reduced thirst and scanty perspiration. She was more sensitive to cold. She suffered from mild constipation.
Her menses were regular with scanty flow, she was on hormonal medicines.
Professionally she was a software engineer working in a multi national company. Her husband was a Chartered Accountant working in a private firm. Her father in law was a retired Chartered Accountant and mother in law was a homemaker.
She had been married for 1 year and was having difficulty adjusting to her new life. She had been a pampered child at her home. She was very much attached to her parents. Her parents had never been dominating, and here she was facing this domination from her husband and in-laws. Her husband was not supportive at all. She used to brood about this and weep at times.
Her case was studied in detail by Dr. Shah. She was prescribed Nat Mur 200C as a constitutional and a research based medicine.
Within 4 weeks of her medication she was relieved by 50% of her complaints. The intensity of rash had reduced by 50% and the swelling did not occur even once in the last 1 month. The duration of rash had drastically reduced to 15 minutes as compared to 48 hours previously. She did not take a single antihistaminic in the past 4 weeks.
In the next follow up she reported she was absolutely fine as if she never had the complaints of Urticaria. She was completely relieved of her complaints of 8 years with just few weeks medication.
She is still undergoing the treatment for PCOD and is equally hopeful about her recovery.
