   This is a case of Mrs. S.D.D (Patient identification number: S 4097), a 33 year old lady who was suffering with Hypothyroidism since the year 2005. She came to the clinic for her treatment. When she reported to the clinic, she complained of easy fatigue after mild activity or house hold chores. She had breathlessness which was worse after physical exertion of any kind, and when she used to climb stairs. She also complained of amenorrhea, since the last 3 months. She had severe hair loss with dryness of the skin. She had swelling of the feet and face especially after exertion. She had severe back pain and neck pain. She had gained over 12 kg of weight in the last one year. She was overweight and weighed over 100 kg. She was diagnosed as PCOD in her recent sonography report. She refused to take allopathic medicines for her PCOD and hypothyroidism. She had approached the clinic for alternative medicines with this background. Dr. Shah accepted this case as a challenge. Her blood tests dated 8-1-07; TSH levels were 25.48 (0.35 to 4.94) Her Free T3 was 2.30 (1.4 to 4.4), Free T4 was 0.60 (0.8 to 2.0) Personal details: She was a irritable and sensitive lady, she would hold anger for a long time and brood over it for along time. She would get angry if anyone contradicted her. She would weep when alone, she disliked consolation. She was pampered in her house by her parents and as such was lazy in household chores. She had difficulty adjusting after marriage, where she was dominated and was expected to do all the household chores. She would react to the attitude of in-laws and sulk over small matters. She had a craving for salty food and spicy food. She would feel uncomfortable in the summer, she felt comfortable in the winters. She perspired profusely. She would feel irritability before menses. Based on the case details, Dr. Shah prescribed Natrum Mur 30 and then Natrum Mur 200 C in various schedules. Just two months after treatment, she found good improvement in her breathlessness and tiredness; she would feel energetic and could do her household chores with ease. Her menstrual cycle normalized from the 4th month onwards. There was good reduction in hair falling. Within 6 months of treatment her ankle swelling had reduced substantially. The swelling on the face in the mornings also reduced. There was good improvement in her back ache and neck pain. Her thyroid results improved gradually and the latest blood tests done on 28-8-07 showed TSH results as 8.52 (0.35 to 4.94) Free T3 was 1.90 (1.4 to 4.4) and T4 was 0.80 (0.8 to 2.0) Patient had stubbornly refused any thyroid supplements and she was very happy with the near normalization of her thyroid reports and over all general improvement.
