The client service is very polite, available and a bit clueless about shipping, but not their fault in my case, DHL missed giving my phone number to the French postal service rendering my package undeliverable. I managed, with the help of the local service to trace back the error and get it sorted very quickly. I would say overall everybody failed, starting with me for putting a wrong name of the city. DHL for avoiding notification of relaying to the local postal service and finally the French postal service for not notifying me properly and LYING openly about to pass by my house and not finding me. I corrected now my proper address, to French post standards, and I hope this time DHL gives my number to them. Overall I say that the package tracking online is very vague and prone to lose the stuff as much as if it was not being traced and very late to inform relevant information, like DHL giving me a trace code of the French post not claryfying that, which made me think it was a website problem. About you I say, you packed all our products with very good care and the box arrived very bumped but the contents were untouched, keep up the good work! 5 stars for your stellar, pun not intended, packing, you missed that category in your ratings, here I fix that for you ,). Thank you!

Thank you!A case of Morphinum 
Male, 47 years old
First visit 11 January, 2011
Admitted to hospital Oct. 09, 2009 with severe abdominal cramps; a 3 foot length of his small intestine had died off due to a congested vein, and was removed.
Colostomy until April 2010; total parenteral nutrition.
Removal of gallstones, June 2010 (side effect of TPN); gall bladder is fine.
Between January and March, 2010, 2 bouts of septicemia and hematoma on upper thighs, which required hospitalization.
Current medications are Warfarin, Pepsin and Acidopholus to aid digestion.
Since release from hospital after partial intestine removal, the patient has used a Fentanyl patch.
(Fentanyl is approximately 100 times more potent than Morphine; 100 micrograms of fentanyl are approximately equivalent to 10mg of morphine and 75mg of Pethidine (meperidine) in analgesic activity.) His current dosage is 12 mcg/h, the lowest dose available.
“One patch is supposed to last 72 hours, but after 48 hours I have severe withdrawal symptoms and need another patch. Even though I use it after 48 hours it means a sleepless night in agony.”
Patient describes himself as being an introverted, hard-working person. He has been healthy all of his life, and is happily married and has 2 sons.
“I never tried drugs in my life! No reason for the blood clot could be found. I felt healthy until shortly before, then I had some abdominal complaints, ‘flu-like. I haven’t had any pain since June 2010 and I only use the patch because I am addicted to it; I have tried to get off the patch. I was given large amounts of Oxycondone for when the withdrawal symptoms come, but they don’t really work. They continue to prescribe the Fentanyl patch because of my addiction; once I lost a patch at lunch time and at night I couldn’t handle it anymore; I went to hospital and they gave me a Morphine injection.”
Presenting symptoms
“I cannot relax; my lower legs are constantly moving, trembling. I feel like I want to throw my arms around; I’m extremely restless, cannot concentrate on reading or anything.
I take everything very personally and I become obsessed with things that normally don’t bother me. I say things that I regret minutes later, I’m very impulsive, up and down all the time.
I cannot let go of the simplest things, and I worry about everything for hours, even if it is the most common task. I feel like I am in a constant defensive attack. It is impossible to sleep; if I do sleep it is very restless, with terrible dreams. Everything is dirty and disgusting, dog shit is everywhere and I step into it. I am not actually active in the dream: it is the surroundings that are very disgusting; I had these dreams when I was on high doses of morphine in the hospital.
I have memory gaps; sometimes for days I don’t remember what I did. The day I lost the patch I had hallucinations of a road worker with a shovel; he was in front of the car.
My eyes are very sore when I’m on withdrawal; it’s strange sensation, almost like a headache. Temperature fluctuations: I feel hot and cold with shivering and perspiration when hot.
I can manage a day at work, then I am done - I cannot do anything else.
My bowels work normally. I am sensitive to onions, garlic and cabbage now, which I never was before.
I snore extremely since using the patch.”
Analysis
Neither Fentanil nor Oxycondone are available as homeopathic remedies. The closest homeopathic remedy available is Morphinum. The patient feels like a drug addict; the effect of the drugs and the addiction are what need to be treated in this case. I looked at this as an acute situation rather than trying to find a constitutional remedy.

Feb.8, 2011: Morphinum LM 5, 4 drops daily, 10 succussed. Repeat 2 -3 times if withdrawal symptoms kick in.
Feb. 15, 2011 (after 1 week): I still have about 75 % of the withdrawal symptoms. I’m sleeping a bit better and now go to sleep about midnight; previously it was 3 a.m.
My moods are not quite as aggressive.
Eye pressure is gone.
More tired in general.
Still using the patch every second day.
Morphinum LM 5, 6 drops 15 succussions on regular days; 8 drops 15 succussions on withdrawal days.
Feb. 24, 2011: Still problems with sleeping when the patch is changing, though not as extreme as before. I manage to stay in bed, and the restlessness doesn’t drive me up the walls anymore.
Moods are the same, but I do feel better inside; I don’t have such obsessive thoughts anymore. I feel very positive; there has been a definite change in two weeks.
No more temperature fluctuations.
Eyes are fine.

March 15, 2011: Less withdrawal symptoms, sleeping much more now. Restless legs are much better.
I had my last patch 5 days ago, Oxycontin 20 mg., every 12 hours instead.
Patient decided to cut the pills in half and take them only every 24 hours. After 3 days the withdrawal symptoms (restless legs only) started to come back; he took 12 drops of the remedy and had no problems after that, then took nothing again for 24 hours.

March 24, 2011: GP prescribed Oxycontin 10 mg, which the patient cuts in half and them twice daily.
Still progressing well, sleeping well. “I am really happy to have a life again; after work I enjoy my relaxing time. I’m feeling better overall, less tired. Moods are better, nicer again, and my family says there is huge improvement. I still have a few obsessive thoughts, but much less, and no more weird dreams.”

Unfortunately the patient did not get in touch with me.
“They gave me pain killers which didn’t work so they put me on morphine for 3 days! I was home after 4 days but still had severe pains and needed more morphine.”
Patient is discouraged due to the return of withdrawal symptoms and went back to Oxycontin 5 mg twice daily.
Morphinum LM 9, 8 drops 10 succ. twice daily.

Occasionally I have a few seconds where I feel like I am on withdrawal but it passes quickly.” No more kidney or bladder problems.
Feeling very good emotionally, as well as physically; still gets tired sometimes. Food sensitivities are much better too.
Plan: Wait and look at for constitutional remedy in about 2 months.
April 4, 2012: Patient continues to feel well; energy levels have increased even more.
During a visit to his family doctor the patient reports having discontinued his Warfarin treatment, feeling that it has contributed to his kidney stones. The GP denied the possibility of such a connection, so the patient did a trial for himself: on repeating the Warfarin for a few days the kidney symptoms returned, and he decided to stop the Warfarin.
Prescription: Berberis 200 CH
At this point it appears that Berberis is a good remedy for my patient and we will continue with a monthly dose of 1M.
