Water Blisters and Edema Around Eyes

[Guest guest]

I am putting this out to several lists and would appreciate a CC to my

private email so that I can check the lists that

do respond: garnet@...

I have a friend who recently had prostate surgery, December 20th. For

several years before, during the several years

they were watching

his PSA and had diagnosed Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy he developed

edema around his eyes, upper and lower

areas. (He had several years of intense stress preceding his marriage

ending in divorce two years ago.)

He developed intermittent water blisters below his eyes, just over the

orbital ridge. He would apply iced towels

and gently massage the water out of the area.

After having Robotic Radical Prostectomy, done through five incisions in

the abdomen, through with small tubes

are passed, so no major incisions, clear margins were obtained.

He is now about two and half months post surgery and the water blisters

that had disappeared after the surgery

have returned. His eye area has remained puffy above and below the eyes

but the water blisters had stopped

appearing.

February 13th he took a constitutional dose of Silicea, 10 M, and is a

clear Silicea type. Two weeks later the

water blisters returned. Other issues such as pain of adhesions from

incision sites and bladder spasms with

some incontinence improved significantly within days to weeks. This

remedy is deep acting and powerful,

and is known to have actions up to six months.

I suspect that he is recycling his symptoms as they are healing. Any

ideas on how to aid this healing would

be appreciated. As you can imagine the eye swelling is a hindrance to

working, he works on computers,

and is uncomfortable as well as cosmetically bothersome.

I have thought of Apis and gave him 200c for three days in a row just

this past weekend to see if that would

clear the edema and water blisters. He does not seem to be holding water

or puffy in any other body parts.

Although his abdomen is slightly bloated after a heavy meal and he seems

to crave carbs and fatty foods

like Water Blister, and bread, crackers, he also does drink some alcohol

daily, a martini after work and a beer or

wine with dinner.

Thanks for any ideas of remedies or other lists to post to. I am puzzled

by the history of the eye symptoms

in the absence of other edema. He is thin and tall btw, not at all over

weight, walks several times a day

and seems to be in fairly fit condition. He is 57.
