Unusual Problem

[Guest guest]

Esteemed Members,

 

I hope this finds you all very well!

Its been quite sometime since I posted a message on this forum, today

I have a very unusual problem to bring to your notice.

 

My father-in-law, who will turn 66 this July, has been suffering with

a very strange problem for the past 7 years now. He gets a feeling

(or we dont know for sure if its actually there...) that he's been

constantly attacked by mosquitoes, flies and somethings he

called "gnats". we have consulted many skin doctors, pyschiatrists

but most of them have dismissed the problem saying that its a

phenomenon called "dillusion"...Sometimes he actually gets bitten,

but most of the times there is nothing around him. To give a bit of a

background about him, he is a retired Lecturer in English from Delhi

University and he is now settled in Chennai. He is very fit for a

65yr old, but sometimes he feels there is some problem with his blood

sugar levels. That too we have gotten tested several times, its a

lill higher then the acceptable range but I'm sure that does not mean

he has diabetes (Our family doctor does not think so!)

 

He's really reached a point where he feels he will have a nervous

breakdown beacuse he cant sleep in the nights as he says that thats

the time when the insects bother him the most. He has become a very

angry person as a result of this and sometimes he says he does have

suicidal tendencies too because he is so fed up. He says that Modern

science has completely failed him and there is no light at the end of

the tunnel. Can Ayurveda help him?

 

To give some more details, he does have a very dry skin and an

infected toe in the right leg which he feels attracts the insects

more towards him. He also wants to do a sweat analysis since he feels

that its his sweat that attracts flies towards him.

 

We are really worried for him and would request all you learned

members to give us some insight on this.

 

Thanks very much and I look forward to hearing from all of you.

 

Warm regards

Bhairvi
