Case referred by Dr R from Israel. Mr E, 44 years old, from Israel, was born in Russia, migrated to Israel in 1992. He is an artist.
Diagnosis - Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Eczematous Dermatitis.

Complaints:
Frequent urging to defecate; with pain in abdomen; better after stool; worse anxiety or when depressed. Sometimes diarrhoea or mucus or constipation.
Eruptions left foot right thigh and left forearm.
Spreading since 3 months. Discharging eruptions. Whole body itches. Difficult to work with the pain this eruption brings. With restlessness, dancing on feet and feel cold.
Thermals- Used to be a hot patient, now chilly. Consumes normal quantity of water.

Mr E has two sides to him: One side: extremely compassionate to other’s that are suffering, children, old people, animals. He can tell a sad story and cry. He is a very gentle and sentimental,very good with children; children love him. Very loyal to his parents, especially mother. He would gladly give his life for his parents. Symbiotic relationship with his mother. [Married at the age of 38].

On the other hand: has a harsh streak in him, unfeeling and cruel. There were years in our marriage that he was obsessed with paranoid thoughts, that I [his wife who has written the history], scorn him, do things against him, think badly of him, have plans to do something against him, think, he is stupid. At the outbursts of this paranoia, he would yell and loose his temper completely, curses and then withdraws for many days, weeks or months. There is no way to talk to him with sense. He would lock himself completely. He would become cold, unfeeling, says he wants to leave the marriage. He would not tell anyone or talk it over with any friend. Only one close friend in the past.He is very sensitive to guilt. Cannot sleep because of him someone is suffering.

He is sure that he has a bad smell. Now with the eruptions, he says that he is disgusting. But this is something he comes up very often, even before the eruption. He often complains of gases, fullness of abdomen and frequent urging to stool when stressed.

Life Story:
When he was 1 year old, his parents had to move and work somewhere far away. He was weaned and they left him with his Grandmother; his Mother visiting him once a month, for 6 months. After that the family united again. When he was 6 years old, his brother was born. The Mother clearly prefers him to his brother. Until this day, she brings him food, worries that he should be dressed warm enough, etc.

When first married, for a few months, he had problems with erection. Slowly it became OK. I gave him Phos, don’t know if it helped or it resolved with time. Together with the paranoiac outbursts there were feelings of rejection, that he was sure that sex with him was bad, and that I reject him physically and mentally. After immigration to Israel, he became very religious. He always was a philosophical person, out spaced.

He stopped doing art, and was praying almost all day. Since then he had a conflict between art and religion. He is a martyr, never needs anything, and never asks for anything. Suffers quietly.

About a year ago, I decided to go about this paranoia in a more assertive way. I became very distant from him, until he requested that we go for counseling. We did and at the same time he took Calc-br and there was a big change. Since then he was more relaxed, stopped biting his nails, no paranoia, family matters were much better, it was a normal relationship. He was angry and distant, but for a short time, and no accusing of unrealistic things. When he was angry there was a reason and it could be worked out.

Until this day, he is not making a living, and feels very bad about it. He is always sure that he is on the verge of a breakthrough and that very soon he will sell his art through the Internet etc.

History in Patient’s words:
‘I was a sensitive child, saw someone stammering and started stammering. Also extremely absent minded. Would draw animals in danger, and heroic strong characters, that someone is running after the animal. Was afraid of spiders. Loved sports. I was a very good student. Studied art for 9 years, and was very good at it. In Russia worked with art. In Israel it did not work out.

Like to be at home. Just now, after being in the house for 3 months, [because of the eruptions] I felt I want to fly outside. The beard started to fall out. I have cracks in the corners of the fingernails. And also on the knuckles, all my life I bite my nails.

Eruption started in the left foot, then on the right thigh, and left forearm. On the thigh it is spreading. It discharges, and the whole thing is disgusting. I hide in the house because it is disgusting for people to see it. I have no sex drive for last 3 months. Whole body itches. Difficult to work with the pain of this eruptions. I am also disgusted to attend urge to defecate frequently.
After some remedies, the foot was better and felt pain in abdomen, liver, heart.

Pessimist, feel I doomed. Have an overpowering sleepiness, can fall asleep standing-chronic symptom. I want to be a strong rock that others can depend upon; the thought that I cannot be efficient makes me panic. The pain of my life is that I don’t provide for my family.

From the lab report -TC-10200/cu mm. Neutrophils 48% Lymphocytes 30% Monocytes 20% Eosinophils 2%. Barium enema-Nil. Stool exam.-Nil. Urine: N.

After one dose of Sulph LM6 taken at intervals of 15 minutes for 2 hours, an eruption started on left foot between the toes. It was itching, but there was no eruption. A month later he took Thuj in LM6, LM9, LM12, LM15, over a period of 6 months, every 5-6 weeks a long dose [every 15 minutes for 2 hours]. After the first dose of Thuj an eruption appeared on the foot and started to spread. He scratched his left foot with the right foot and it started to appear on the right foot, between the toes.
