| Mortified Through Life -- Dr. Nayana Khopade |
 |

| Discussion: Here we see an emotionally sensitive yet a very suppressed lady. She was not talking much initially and had to be questioned repeatedly to gain more information about herself. She had undergone a lot of hardships as a child and was unable to express herself against the injustice occurring at home, especially with her mother and all her siblings by her stepmother. She was also not able to continue higher studies, as her stepmother was dominating. Then she was forced to marry against her will and the subsequent three pregnancies with anomalies, resulted in severe depression. Also the bad treatment she experienced during her childhood made her averse towards conceiving, as she felt extremely anxious about raising her children. She has had a lot of suppressed anger since childhood, which was now expressed as repeated outbursts at her husband. She wouldn’t tolerate contradiction at all, was ambitious and wanted to live a better life. She preferred to live in a city rather than in a village. She felt averse to her husband as well, as she was married against her will. Time and again pent up emotions and insults would lead to intense anger, which she would find difficult to control and felt like throwing things. She had lost her first child due to megalomyelocele, the second pregnancy was an Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) twin pregnancy, and the patient herself aborted her third pregnancy with the fear that the child would be abnormal. This eventually affected her hormonal system and her menstrual cycles were further and further delayed over the next 2 years. Her main feeling in all of this was of insult and humiliation. The patient used a sentence in Marathi ( her mother tongue) saying "I really felt humiliated and insulted and yet I couldn’t express anything".

Treatment and follow-up: The patient was administered one dose of Staphysagria 200C on 26/06/1997. After one week: The severity of headache had reduced. The itching in the armpits increased, her cold increased. She said, I am feeling slightly better and my appetite is slightly better. Plan: Placebo After two weeks: She got her menstrual period after six months and also the itching in armpits was slightly less. Plan: Placebo Three months after starting treatment: She had her menses in August but no menstruation in September. She said with a smile, “Doctor can you set right my cycles, as I want to seriously think about a child now”.
Comment: We see a shift in the thinking of the patient. She is moving out of her depression. Previously she was averse to the idea of pregnancy, now there is positive change in her. Someone else does not impose it, and she herself wants to set right the menstrual pattern and conceive. Five months after starting treatment: She had a dream that a doctor is performing a Caesarian section, as she has a full term pregnancy. "I felt relaxed and left my past behind me. I am sure I want a child." Seven months after starting treatment: She had regular cycles in October, November, and December. Her cold and headaches had reduced. Her sleep was good. She also started talking better with her husband, she did not have any outbursts of anger. Eight months after starting treatment: In January 1998, she did not get her menstrual period, so she was advised to do the pregnancy test. The pregnancy test was positive. She and her family were very happy about it. She was also advised to have regular antenatal checkups with a reputed gynecologist. The patient was slightly anxious about the growth of fetus and possible abnormalities. The ultrasound and other tests were normal. She had an uneventful pregnancy and delivered a normal baby girl on 17/09/1998. During the span of one-and-half year she received total five doses of Staphysagria 200. Today the child is six years old and is healthy, going to school and doing well. Here we see how beautifully the patient responded to a well chosen (constitutional) homeopathic remedy. She improved step by step towards a recovery both emotionally and physically, and also had the fulfillment of a normal healthy baby, in spite of the hereditary trait of congenital anomaly existing in the family.
Thank you, Dr. Nayana Khopade
