A 20 yr old girl came with acute severe menstrual pain. She had taken cyclopamine without relief at home. She was given an analgesic and antispasmodic injection (allopathic medication) as well without any relief. As hours passed, her pains increased in severity. It is in this situation that she sought the help of homoeopathy. She was bending double with pain, was crying and trembling as the pain came on. She was given colo 1m, given the severity of her pains without any relief. Bell and mag phos also failed to provide any relief. Almost an hour passed without any change in her condition. I was desperate to provide relief to her but was failing again and again. It was then that I decided to repertorize the case. Fingers crossed, a dose of nat carb 200 was given. She slept in the waiting room after 10 min. Later her scan revealed that she suffered from endometriosis.
Explanation
The rubrics taken for repertorization were:
Pain with trembling
pain with sweating
I used Knerr Repertory (the one I had easy access to at that time).
The only remedy that came in 3+ was nat carb in both rubric. I was skeptical as I had never
used nat carb in acute dysmenorrhoea, but the symptoms chosen were marked and
characteristic, and repertorization result unmistakable. A dose of nat carb 200 showed its
mettle and taught me to think outside therapeutics. (of course, she needed a long-term
treatment of her condition to fully recover).
