Does Painful Lumps Throughout The Body Signify Dercum S Disease While Having History Of Hysterectomy In A 34 Years Old Female?

Hi. My name is Amanda. I m 34. I had a hysterectomy when I was 25 because of cancer. I believe I started going threw menopause about 5 years ago. I don t take any dr. prescribed medication right now. I have suffered with anxiety and depression for many years but the last 5 years it has made it hard to leave the house and do normal activities. I do have a Canadian Mental Health Worker who is great and has helped me out a lot. I stared getting painful lumps about 2 and a half years ago. 34 lumps popped out on my upper legs with in 3 months making it very painful to stand. I weighed around 115 to 120 in weight at the time, now I weight about 200 to 210. Seeing that I m only 5 3 it s a huge problem. I haven t changed eating habits if anything I eat less, as I hate gaining more weight and my bowls hate me as is. Now I have very painful lumps on my arms (4), my abdomen (5) and I don t even know how many on my legs. I have very little memory anymore, I mine as well be in a bed beside my grandmother. My stomach will bloat out 10 pant sizes bigger over night, when the lumps in my stomach are acting up. My family and I believe I might have Dercum s disease. I ve told my family doctor but he s not sure where to send me. I live in Ontario Canada. I m trying to look for a path to go down to find out if this is what I have? What kind of specialist should I be going to see? And if possible do you know of a doctor in the province that knows or specializes with this disorder.

Homeopath 's  Response
Hello Amanda,
I am also not sure to make a specific diagnosis of your case.
But one thing I can assertively state that your problems are all drug induced and genetic. What you need is not a specialist treatment as you mean to get another diagnosis and the advice to take another lot of drugs.
I am a Homoeopath and so giving you an entirely different advice. Try to find an expert Homoeopathic practitioner in Ontario. If you are not able to find somebody competent to treat you, you can get back to me directly through Healthcare magic. I think I can help you through Homoeopathic method of treatment.
Your problem is genetic and constitutional as is shown by the development of premature menopause, large number of lumps, obesity etc. It is not advisable to continue with more number of chemo drugs or steroids. Keep yourself free from such drugs and start taking Homoeopathic treatment for you.
I hope you will improve through Homoeopathy.
With best wishes,
Dr C. J. Varghese
