Mrs G aged 32 yrs consulted me for her migraine from which she was suffering for the last 10 yrs. Various treatments failed to provide any relief. She asked me so many questions about whether homeopathy could help and whether I have treated any case of migraine that at one stage I almost declined to take up her case saying that at every follow up she would continue to ask that many questions. But she relented and requested me to take her case.

I noted the following rubrics for repertorization in BBCR:

• Migraine
• Left side
• Throbbing
• Throbbing, painful
• Upward extending
• Twisting
• Darkness amel
• Cold applications amel
• Noise agg
• Sun light agg
• Desire for sweets
• Desire for salty things
• Desire for chocolates
• Desire for fish
• Agg cold
• Anxious dreams of falling
• Anxious vivid dreams
• Averse to company
• Intolerant of contradiction
• Fastidious
• Desires icy water

Cal carb and Phos were two main contender for the case. However Anxious, vivid dreams and dreams of falling and desire for fish favored Phos which was given in 0/1 on 27/7/2009. A follow up on 27/8, 17/9, 3/10 and 17/11/2009 reported complete relief.

Ps Some food desires rubrics were taken from Murphy.
