Revisiting "What's Up, 'Diana Ross'?"-- Elaine Lewis, DHom |
 |
|||
| It saddens me, the state of homeopathy in the world today, where so few homeopaths can recognize a line from "Back In My Arms Again" by Diana Ross and the Supremes! (see last month's quiz)
Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, Florence Ballard
But three cheers for Way-Cool Homeopath, Ute Seebauer, who wrote the following:
That is rhus-tox. Sciatica, >warm application, rubbing, continued motion < at night Headache and neck trouble She took 3 doses of ___RHUS-T____30c before bed and one the next morning. The song Elaine was humming however isn't Rhus, it's "Ross" [ha-ha! Cool and funny!] Diana Ross & The Supremes - "Back in My Arms Again" (see lyric below) Have a great day, Ute Seebauer Back In My Arms Again All day long I hear my telephone ring I lost him once through friends' advice (Ooh!) But now It's easy for friends to say (Ooh!) 'Cause How can Mary tell me what to do (Ooh!) I got him Ooh! I'm satisfied
All right! You go, Ute! Oh, and Sherill got it right to, but...she got the wrong remedy, but who cares! Congratulations Sherill! Now, the rest of you.... Get with it! OK, now, back to the quiz. Here is last month's quiz for those of you who didn't see it: ******************** Around 2:03 last weekend, a friend of mine stopped by to visit. It was obvious she was uncomfortable so I asked, "What's up Mary? It looks like your leg is bothering you." Oh my, I hate to have to interrupt again, but, was Mary her real name? No, it's a name I made up. Oh, now see, Kelly, I know you're new to homeopathy, but, part of presenting a good case has to do with choosing the correct fictitious name because you don't want the listener to be distracted by any associations he might have with the name you use. Now, you see, the name "Mary" can very easily be confused with Mary from the Bible, or Mary Wilson from The Supremes. Ohhhh. I didn't even think of that! That's why it's so important to work with a professional like myself. Right, so, let me start again. Around 2:03 last weekend, a friend of mine stopped by to visit. It was obvious she was uncomfortable so I said, "What's up, 'Diana Ross'...? How's that? Great! "What's up, 'Diana Ross'?" I said. Rubbing her left outer thigh, she said, "Oh, I have sciatica and it's really acting up the last couple days. I was up pacing the floor around 2:00 this morning!" (Meanwhile she's up and down in the chair as we speak.) "It really hurt first thing this morning, but feels a little better right now." (Elaine, could you stop humming, it's really annoying!) So, later on I phoned to set up a time to exchange our children back to their respective homes and I asked how she felt. "Better, I've been sitting on the heating pad and stretching it out, it helps to rub it too." A little while later she showed up to pick up/drop off kids and said, "I feel so out of it and kinda foggy. I have this really bad headache." When I went to her house to retrieve yet another child, she was in the bathroom but didn't know I had come in. She yelled down to her husband, "I'm in here again!" I asked how she was doing and she said, "The headache is still pretty bad and it extends down my neck, in the back." She still had the leg pain and was acting a bit "spacey." She took 3 doses of _______30c before bed and one the next morning. She said she slept really well and much of the pain was gone by morning. The next day she was almost completely pain free--another happy customer! Elaine? Elaine are you even listening? ************************
OK, now for the quiz results! Out of seventeen votes cast, an overwhelming 12 of you got the remedy right, which, of course, was Rhus tox! Here's what some of you had to say (note: < means worse, > means better):
No I don't know the name of the song, but I think the remedy that covers it best -- sciatica > walking/motion (eliminative) sciatica > pressure sciatica > warmth brain fag copious urine headache -> back < morning < night ......is Rhus-tox. Love & peace, Karen Wehrstein
I feel the Diana Ross Rx is Rhus-t. because
of: Thanks for these exercises !!
Dear Elaine, This case is a good opportunity to use Bönninghausen Therapeutishes Taschenbuch for repertorisation. I have worked hard to be capable of using it in German (its original langage) as no good translation does exist in English. After taking into account the following information (corresponding to 6 rubrics) Localisation: outer thigh, left lower limb Sensation: what kind of pain ? Modality: amel. becoming warm, amel. extending the limb Concommitant: corporeal restlessness agg. at night after midnight I would suggest RHUS TOX as the best medicine. NUX VOM comes second from the repertorisation but affects more the right lower limb and would not tolerate such moving about. ARS which would come to the mind spontaneously (restlessness agg 2 a.m.) is clearly farther in the list with only 4 rubrics covered. Moreover would we not expect an ARS patient to be anxious with the restlessness ? Michel
Hi Elaine
Since I don't recognize the song, I'll submit my entry of Rhus Tox: Restlessness, dazed mind, left-sided sciatica Better for heat, continued motion, rubbing, stretching out limbs Worse after midnight, aggravated by rest Thanks! I have been learning a lot from the ezine articles! Brooks
Back in My Arms Again by the Supremes... Arsenicum Sherill [it was a good guess, Sherill! You probably saw the restlessness, the amelioration from heat and worse around midnight and thought of Arsenicum...it's not that it's a bad guess, it's that Rhus tox has more symptoms, such as better from stretching, which is a big indicator for Rhus tox, as is better massage. Also, let me just say that although Arsenicum and Rhus tox have restlessness in common, Rhus tox is actually better from moving whereas Arsenicum has a psychological restlessness and isn't necessarily better for all the moving around.]
Hi dearesst Elaine! Hi Nooshin! How I missed You! You were gone? We were moving house and that is the reason why I couldn't write sooner and why I'm in a hurry now!!!! You're moving the house? Is it in the wrong place? Don't they get The Supremes in Iran? The remedy is: RHUS TOXICODENDRON (rhus-tox.) because we have : restlessness [I was up pacing the floor ...,she's up and down in the chair] left sided symptoms, >motion, <beginning to move, night, morning on waking (all indicate < rest) > warm application, >stretching, >massage [ Rubbing her left outer thigh] and we have a concomitant: headache : it is surely because of cervical stiffness [extends down my neck, in the back] Thank you again Elaine for being there and helping us to think better. Say hello to all dear Hpathies!! Lots of love and a big hug, Nooshin Azadi
