34-year-old Engineer Finds Relief from Recurrent Uveitis at Life Force

Mr. S. S., a thirty-four-year-old male (Patient ID: 515597), visited the Life Force Homeopathy Chembur clinic on May 19, 2023, with his primary complaint of recurrent uveitis. The condition has persisted since 2011, with episodes recurring (variably) once every 6–18 months. His current episode started on 9th May 2023, characterized by photosensitivity and eye redness. He was using prednisolone eye drops and oral steroids (Wysolone 40 mg) during episodes along with homatropine (anticholinergic) drops in his right eye from May 2023 and had used atropine eye drops from 5-7 days in May 2023. 

The patient also reported a positive HLA B27 diagnosis.

Along with uveitis, the patient also suffered from hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) diagnosed a year prior. He also had hyperuricemia (high uric acid) since May 2022. His past medications included Fenofibrate for cholesterol and Febustat for uric acid management.
Additionally, he developed erectile dysfunction in May 2023. 

The patient, a nonvegetarian, had an average appetite and thirst, consuming approximately 2 liters of water daily. He experienced profuse generalized perspiration and was ambithermal, capable of tolerating both temperature extremes. His bowel movements were satisfactory, and he had no significant urinary symptoms.

The patient is an engineer, living with his parents and wife, and has a 2.5-year-old son. His marital life showed some minor disputes, and he described himself as introverted. Previously enjoying painting, he had discontinued the hobby. Professionally, he experienced no major stress.

His family history revealed significant medical patterns. His father had ankylosing spondylitis, and his paternal uncle also suffered from the same condition. His mother had hypertension, and his paternal aunt had osteoarthritis. Notably, his father tested positive for HLA B27, similar to the patient.

The patient had undergone a hair transplant, which was unsuccessful, and he currently uses a wig. He had a history of dengue and typhoid infections. 
After reviewing the case, Dr. Shah prescribed Carcinosin 30C. 

Follow-ups:
For the first follow-up conducted on 16th June 2023, the patient reported progressive photosensitivity and redness of the eyes and has also started on oral steroids along with homeopathic medicines.

By 14th July 2023, the patient showed good improvement, with uveitis under remission, and continued oral steroid therapy.

In September 2023, continued remission was seen, having completed 25 days of oral and eye drop steroids in July 2023.

From November 2023-January 2024, the patient did not have any recurrence of uveitis episodes since July 2023 and was not on any oral steroids. 

On April 4, 2024, the patient reported a mild uveitis episode, which was successfully managed with steroidal eye drops.

For his next follow-up in July 2024, the patient reported having no complaints. 

From September 2024 to December 2024, the patient showed consistent improvement, and there were no episodes of uveitis reported.

The latest follow-up was done on 17th January 2025. The patient reported a continued absence of uveitis symptoms with no recurrence of episodes since April 2024, and he was also off the steroids.

The case demonstrates successful management of recurrent uveitis through a comprehensive homeopathic approach, significantly reducing the frequency and severity of episodes and also the dependence on steroid-based medicines.
