    38yo Female: COVID exposure - Is That Why Her Eye Is So Red and Goopy?

    41yo Female: COVID Cough, Confusion and ”Oversensitive like Chamomilla”

    After her weekend at a wedding with attendees from all around the world, this woman came home feeling ill. Her at home COVID test was positive. She began to feel the strong heat of a fever. As a study group member familiar with acute therapeutics, she chose Belladonna, which relieved the fever. The next day she noticed a spasmodic cough, confusion and a level of upset about her symptoms that seemed out of proportion for what was actually happening.   In this case example, Karen discusses the size and breadth of rubrics, translation of upset into language of the repertory, and aspects of the carbon remedies.

    34yo Female: COVID Exposure, Uvula Pain and Menstrual Cramps

    She reports an exposure to two people who have postive COVID tests; she now has symptoms though home test is negative. She describes having a sore throat ”in the hangy-down thing” at the back of her mouth, along with swollen glands. In this case example, Karen discusses methods of inquiry: clients often do not know they type of data we need, and may not be aware of their symptoms. In this case, following the initial repertorization, Karen shares the additional questions and rubrics used to clarify the final remedy selection.

    32yo Female: Long COVID, Wetting the Bed and So Embarrassed

    29yo Male: Long COVID and Off the Rails Mean Drunk (with a cough)

Now 18 months later, he says the cough is ruining his life.  Well, actually, the cough isn’t trashing his life, but the effects of it are! He can’t sleep (cough is terrible at night when he lays down) and he is hitting the scotch-and-soda hard and often. He gets drunk and goes into mean rages; his wife is about to leave him.  He has already been given plenty of likely remedies by the time of this consult. Are there clear symptoms to show a pattern of a remedy match? Check it out! Follow along in these Series 2 podcasts that are all about COVID.

    57yo Female: Post Covid Chilly, Chillier, Chilliest (unless she gets up to walk around... hint... hint...)

    Her first round with COVID laid her out for 3 weeks, followed by a full recovery. The second round was quicker, but NBWS! Now 3 months later, she gets freezing cold after eating a big meal - unless she can get up and pace around!
