Analysis of the Case
History of rheumatism, gout in the family indicative of sycotic diathesis. This state was further complicated by acquired sycosis from her husband (suppressed gonorrhea). Boil suppressed by injection in childhood and some of the mental symptoms indicate the latent psoric state. So, it was a case of mixed miasm.

Comments
Based on my 14 years clinical experience, I can say confidently-LM potency is the safest. We can cure the sufferings without any fear of medicinal aggravation. She was a pregnant women. We must avoid any danger that might happen at that stage. So, I used the dose in more diluted form. If we would apply low potency nosodes, there would be possibility of aggravation. So, LM/6 potency of Medorrhinum was used.
