Conclusion

This case study reveals that the response to the treatment depends upon person to person. A person's sensitivity, susceptibility, state of immunity, stress coping mechanism are some of the things which are important for this perspectives. We have seen that most of the patients require 6-10 weeks to see positive initial improvement in such chronic diseases but there are some recorded cases like this where patient may show dramatic improvement in a month or some patients may require 2-4 months.

Response to Homeopathic medicines always varies from patient to patient.
