Diabetes, sciatica pain, sleeplessness 03599 & 02726...USA
A 75-year-old female 4’10” in height and 52 kg in weight had, high fasting blood sugar FBS (260 mg/dL fasting, normal being 90 to 130) in spite of taking three different tablets and 3 units of insulin daily, for more than a decade; sciatica and back pain with only 50% improvement on taking homoeopathic treatment for 4 years and also sleeplessness, not able to have good quality sleep. Her hypothyroidism for two decades was under control with allopathic tablets.
On 8 Sep 2022, she was given:
For diabetes:
#1. CC6.3 Diabetes + CC12.4 Autoimmune diseases…TDS
For sciatica and back pain:
#2. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC15.2 Psychiatric disorders + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.2 SMJ pain + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.4 Muscles & Supportive tissue + CC20.5 Spine...TDS orally, also in water for local application
For sleeplessness:
#3. CC10.1 Emergencies + CC12.1 Adult tonic+ CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic + CC15.2
Psychiatric disorders + CC15.6 Sleep disorders + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic…one hour before bedtime & again at bedtime
For general wellbeing:
#4. IB…OD
She immediately stopped the homoeopathic medicine for sciatica but continued the allopathic medicines for diabetes. In three weeks by the end of Sept, her FBS dropped to 160 and both sciatica and back pain were reduced by 70%. By the end of Nov, the FBS came down to 130 and sciatica & back pain were completely gone. #2 was reduced to BD for 2 weeks, OD for 2 weeks and then stopped.
On 15 Jan 2023, the insulin dosage was reduced to one unit by her doctor. Her sleep quality had also significantly improved and she was taking #3 on rare occasions only.
At a case review on 27 Apr, #3 was not being taken and #4 was stopped. She happily continued #1 at TDS.
The patient’s sugar level continued to drop and on 16 Sept, her FBS was down to 119. Her doctor stopped the insulin but advised to continue the three allopathic tablets.
As FBS came down further to 104, the patient took #1 until 2nd week of Dec 2023 when the remedy finished. Thereafter, her FBS fluctuated between 93 and 104. On 19 Feb 2024, the doctor advised her to stop two more tablets; so now she is taking only one and she feels absolutely fine!
Editor’s note: CC15.1 should suffice to take care of stress; CC15.2 which includes both CC15.1 and CC18.1 is generally not preferred in the first instance unless a deep-seated problem is envisaged or reflected in the symptoms or mental state.
