Puls.: THERAPEUTIC HINTS - The thirstlessness.

Borland bl4

[Ed.: Is one of Borland's "Complicated pneumonia / bronchopneumonia" - remedies. (Nat-s., Lob., Puls., Seneg.]
I think the next most common of these drugs is Puls.
In the average Puls. pneumonia, or broncho-pneumonia, I think you usually get a history of the patient's having had a frank cold,
a catarrhal condition, which has spread down into the chest.
It is in the slowly advancing, progressive pneumonia that you most commonly get your indications for Puls.
In appearance the Puls. pneumonia patients are always definitely dusky;
it is a red colour, but it is a dusky red.
The patients give you the impression of being rather bloated and puffy-looking.
They also give you the impression of not having a great deal of bite about them,
they are of the rather mild, gentle, yielding type, and they do not stand up against their infection well,
the Subdivision seems to be gradually spreading and snowing them under.
They become definitely anxious about themselves, worried, afraid that they are not going to get better, and they very definitely hate being left alone.
They want somebody about, and they want attention.
In their pneumonias Puls. patients get very marked dyspnea;
it is very extreme.
It is accompanied by a feeling of intense tightness in the chest, or a feeling of horrible fullness in the chest, with a very acute air hunger;
they want to have the doors and windows open, and they love a draught of air about.
This dyspnea tends to get worse as the evening progresses;
They have a pretty violent, gagging, choking cough, and in their paroxysms of coughing they are liable to become acutely cyanosed.
Quite frequently you will get the statement by these Puls. patients
that after one of these violent choking coughs it feels as if something were torn loose in the chest and the whole chest left raw.
After one of these paroxysms there is always a complaint of extreme soreness in the chest wall, which feels as if all the muscles were strained.
These Puls. patients in their pneumonias complain of a very dry mouth and throat, and the tongue usually has a thick, sticky, whitish coat.
But in spite of this dryness of their mouth and throat the patients are not thirsty.
They may like a little sourish drink to relieve the dryness, but there is no real thirst in the Puls. pneumonias.
As regards position, these patients are rather more uncomfortable lying on the side which is mainly involved.
Their most comfortable position is lying on the back, propped up a bit, and particularly with the arms raised out from the sides;
you may even find them pushing their arms up above the head.
All these Puls. patients are, of course, sensitive to heat, and, as you would expect, they often complain of a feeling of generalized hotness.
But occasionally you will come across a Puls. patient who says that intermingled with this generalized heat they have patchy areas of chilliness.
The sputum in Puls. is always a difficult one.
It is very tenacious indeed, and the patient almost chokes in the effort to expel it.
It is usually yellowish in colour, and, of course, definitely blood-stained.
[Free yellowish-green sputa ll1]

Nash nh6

Puls. will sometimes close up the case when the expectoration becomes thick, profuse, green and bitter or offensive tasting,
and the patient feels chilly, yet cannot bear the atmosphere of a close warm room [DD Kali-s. danx].

Cutting pain in pleurisy.

Farrington fr1

(Information possibly useful for cases of Atypical Pneumonia Ed.)
... In the chest a feeling of soreness referred to either subclavicular regions to the apex of one or the other lung,
soreness which is felt when the patient lies on that side or presses against the left chest.
This soreness seems to involve the muscular structures about the shoulder and even down the arm of the affected side.
It has been a valuable symptom to me and to many physicians in the incipiency of tuberculosis, especially in women of Puls. temperament.
Along with this soreness in the lung there may be some cough with expectoration.
Although there may be no symptoms indicate positive existence of tubercular infiltration we will have other symptoms indicating the onset of the diseases.
Puls. has several times relieved these cases. ...
We find Puls. indicated in young girls at the age of puberty when the menstrual flow has either not established itself normally or even not at all.
[Consumption, Florida, suppurative stage in chlorotic girls. k2,kr1]
It is especially at this time that you may find this soreness of the apices of the lungs calling for Puls.,
and you know well that unless you remove this symptom and establish the menstrual flow, your patient will have some form of phthisis.
