Drooping eyelids (Ptosis) 11632...India
In a monthly vibrionics camp at an old age home, an 80-year-old woman, sought treatment for drooping of eyelids that started in Jan 2022. Initially, she had difficulty in opening her eyes upon waking, feeling as though her eyelids were stuck; she had to open them with her fingers. As the day progressed, her right eyelid would droop fully, while the left only partially. Within 2 to 3 weeks, her condition worsened. Upon waking, the right eyelid after forcing it open, would shut within 1 to 2 minutes, and the left would close partially. This significantly impaired her vision.
As the only literate inmate, she diligently read spiritual texts to the others every evening, a ritual she cherished. Watching TV was another favourite pastime. However, her deteriorating eye condition made it hard for her to continue her hobbies; after just 15 minutes of reading or watching TV, pain would set in, relieved only by short rests.
In Feb, a doctor attributed her eye condition to old age and prescribed vitamin supplements for five months, these had no effect. Homoeopathic treatment from Aug 2022 for five months did not help her either.
On 6 Feb 2023, the practitioner gave her:
#1. CC3.7 Circulation + CC18.4 Paralysis + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.2 SMJ pain...TDS in coconut oil for external application
#2. CC10.1 Emergencies + #1...TDS
Gently and carefully, she massaged #1 on her eyelids. There was steady improvement in the next four months. On 9 Jun, she reported being able to open both eyes without using her fingers, albeit partially, within five minutes of waking up and they would stay that way throughout the day. Additionally, there was 50% relief in pain felt during reading or watching TV.
In another three months by 13 Sep, the pain was totally gone. Moreover, she could open her eyes normally within one minute of waking up. In another two months by 15 Nov, her eyelids were functioning normally. She joyfully resumed her daily reading ritual and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to vibrionics.
On 27 Dec, the dosage of #1 and #2 was reduced to BD and after a month to OD, before stopping it on 1 March 2024.
As of Apr 2024, there has been no recurrence.
