Miss S.S., Mumbai, India
In April, 2002 I incurred severe pain on right side of my
face. I never felt this kind of pain in my whole life. The
pain was excruciating. The pain was so vigorous. I felt
like burning and cutting myself. I had pain like someone
is stabbing and tearing my face. It affected my teeth,
ear, eye, nose, head and throat. I use to have sleepless
night with tears in my eyes.
I went for allopathic treatment. They diagnosed my problem
as Trigeminal Neuralgia, which I had never ever heard
about. I was on heavy doses including painkillers and
sleeping pills. But it only includes sleep, drowsiness and
relief for short period. The doses were so heavy that even
while dining, I use to sleep. It disturbed my life and my
family members. I had visited to best neurosurgeons in
Mumbai but nothing helped me. I use to bang my head
continuously. At the age of 25 I felt my life is gone.
There are no fun and color in my life anymore.
Other details:
I am an executive working at a call center, for an
American company, whereby my job involves selling services
to the clients in the US. There is no much stress except
working till late hours.
I am a soft spoken, kind hearted person; tend to get wild
if things do not go as per my wish. This is more at home.
I am considered considerate and helpful. I have helped my
friends and even strangers, simply out of compassion. I
have three pets, which is not common in the social circle
I move in. My love for animals is since my childhood days.
I have love for animals and those who are deprived of
privileges. I often look around for hungry dogs and cats
and try to feed them with some food. I am content and not
too ambition.
My family history comprises of Trigeminal Neuralgia
(mother), Systemic Lupus (maternal Grand father) and
cancer of breast (my aunt). My brother had tuberculosis
and my sister has some skin disease, not sure of the name,
as she is in Canada.
I sleep well. I need a long nap in the afternoon or in the
morning due to the fact that I work at night. I eat well.
I love sweets and chocolates. I do not eat meat, as I hate
killing animals. I have taken lots of medicines for this
painful disease. I was considering going for surgery or
some gamma treatment, and wanted to try homeopathy before
such procedure.
Homeopathic case processing:
Looking at the case in the homeopathic view point, the
patient is one who has a family history of neurological
diseases (TN and Systemic Lupus), which is suggestive of
genetic predisposition to TN. Here is a patient who has
certain strong emotions such as an element of sympathy,
which is remarkable. (Love for animals, helping people out
of the way, etc.) There is an excitability and expression
of emotions. Besides, the nature of the TN pain which is
on the right side of face, severer, stabbing, shooting,
etc.
The treatment:
The totality of the case, which includes the study of the
genetic tendency, the emotions, the nature of the pain and
other details, suggest a homeopathic remedy called
Causticum. This medicine was administer to the patient in
centesimal potency, supported by another remedy called
Carcinosin, addressing the genetic predisposition.
The result in patient's words:
Then one day while surfing net I came across Dr. Rajesh
Shah where I found that he has been treating patients
suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia in Homoeopath. I went
to his clinic and met him. I am under his treatment for
last 5 months and my pain has reduced a lot up to 85%. It
was a miracle for me since I have stopped all allopath.
Now I can enjoy my life and I have joined a company. No
more of banging head, disturbed nights. Thanks to Dr
Rajesh Shah for this miraculous treatment. It is my
personal advice to people suffering from Trigeminal
Neuralgia to get their treatment done by Dr Rajesh Shah
and see the tremendous change in your life. Thanks to Dr
Shah. |

This is the case of Mr. M.F (Patient Ref. No. L-6546), a 54 years old male patient who
reported to the clinic with complaints of left sided
facial pain since 6 years. He would get episodic pain
involving the left side of the face, teeth and eyes. The
pain would be very severe and inspite of being on a high
dose of carbamazepine, he would get at least 3-4 severe
attacks daily. The pain would increase while chewing,
talking, laughing, and whenever he would get a cold. If he
would decrease the dosage of carbamazepine even
marginally, the attacks would come back with increased
severity.
Patient was also a known case of hypertension and diabetes
and was on regular treatment for the same. Apart from this
he also had complaints of recurrent colds due to a
deviated nasal septum. He would also get frequent throat
infections after taking after taking cold food or drinks.
Patient had an obese constitution and had marked craving
for fish. He had an aversion for sweets. He would
occasionally take beer. He had a tendency for profuse
perspiration. Stools were normal except that occasionally
he would have to rush to pass stools after eating. There
was mild urgency for urination also. Sleep was not sound
and he would often feel restless during sleep.
He was an anxious person by nature and had lot of anxiety
about his business and the competition therein. There was
marked insecurity about the financial status since he was
experiencing some problem with his business partner and
hence was low on income. His daughter's marriage was an
added cause of anxiety in his case.
In the past he had suffered from jaundice, renal calculi
and typhoid. He also had hypothyroidism in the past which
had been controlled with homoeopathy.
There was a strong family history of diabetes,
hypertension, ischemic heart disease, obesity and
bronchial asthma. His brother had hemophilia.
Based on the above history he was prescribed homoeopathic
medicines and he improved very well with the homoeopathic
treatment. He was given Mercurius Iodatus Rubrum with
Capsicum for the TN. He also required doses of Carcinosin
during the course of his treatment. Within 6 months of the treatment the frequency
as well as the severity of the attacks had come down
significantly and he was able to lead a near-normal life
without worrying that the pain may come on the next
moment. Also his complaints of recurrent throat infections
had improved significantly.
Gradually the dose of carbamazepine was also reduced to
the minimum required. This case shows that homoeopathic
medicines can provide significant relief in TN and help in
the pain control even in those cases which are not
responding favorably to the conventional medicines.
