Multi-yr illness. Numbness. Tumors. Fever. Help!

Allopathic doctors have few answers, please help!! I’m a 42-year-old female with many symptoms that the allopathic doctors cannot find a basis for. I’ve had many tests run but am without any “diagnosis” or any hope of feeling better. I’m frustrated and a little desperate. I’ve used a few acute remedies in the past, but I need help determining if longer use of the right remedy might bring relief for these chronic problems.

I tried to be specific, so here’s a lot of information on my symptoms:

Constant fatigue!
Brain fog.
Memory problems.
Difficulty sleeping.
Difficulty swallowing – feeling as if there’s something in my throat (2 years).
Light-headedness (mostly when standing).
Low-grade fever for the past year. I don’t track it closely enough to know what time of day, etc.
Recent weight gain (20 pounds in 3 months).
I feel cold during the day, especially in the evening;
then sweating and hot at night.
Ears ringing constantly since last pregnancy (11 years);
rushing sound when I lay down.

Vasospastic attacks in my hands and feet;
usually begin and are worse on right side;
hands and feet cyanotic and bluish-purple in appearance for approx 30 minutes;
attacks can happen indoors/outdoors, winter/summer;
but more often when I’m sitting down, or when I’m cold.

Intermittent numbness/tingling hands and feet;
especially in left foot early in the morning;
and in right hand in the evening.

Wakened multiple times by total numbness of one/both arms;
from shoulder to fingertips;
Numbness (1 yr) began same day discovered lipoma (fatty tumor) on right side, back of neck
Lipoma also on abdomen, right lower quadrant

Right upper quadrant abdominal pain continues after a cholesystectomy (gallbladder removal) 2 years ago.
Hemangioma (benign) tumor on liver.
Many digestive problems including frequent morning diarrhea, bloating and distended abdomen.
Very sharp right upper quadrant abdominal pain yesterday lasted approx. 5 hours and was much worse than what I normally experience.

Neck pain near where lipoma is located (herniated disc between C5-C6);
pain radiates into right side of chest and right shoulder blade.

Severe migraine headaches (11 years), predominantly right-sided, centered at right temple, then spreading outward;
headaches occur around time of menstrual cycle and immediately after.
Length of time between menstrual cycles has decreased and cycles are sometimes very heavy.
I have taken topiramate preventatively for 6 years for the headaches, but I would very much like to stop taking this drug!

Many things in past medical history which may/not be significant;
very severe case of mononucleosis at age 15;
miscarriage, followed by two difficult pregnancies in my twenties;
very susceptible to illness and sinus infections;
I have used many antibiotics and now have many drug allergies (especially to antibiotics).
I have many food sensitivities;
I cannot eat garlic at all because it gives me low abdominal pain for 24 hours;
I have trouble digesting many foods including cabbage, broccoli, corn, and beans.

I would very much appreciate advice on selecting a remedy. Thank you for taking the reading my post and for any reply!

Thanks for your response! Here is additional information:

1. Age 42
2. Female (fair skin)
3. Married
4. 165 lbs (was 140 lbs 4 months ago and have been unable to lose any of the weight)
5. 5 ft 5 inches
6. Living in the southern U.S. Hot in the summer months, cold in the winter
7 Not diagnosed with diabetes, but have never had glucose tolerance test
8. Crave sweets! and sometimes salt
9. Very little thirst
10. Not sure about tongue – I think it looks pink and normal
11. BP has been low-normal (110/65) all my life, but recently I have had some episodes of blood pressure 140/85
I mentioned most of my symptoms in previous post, but forgot shooting pains behind knees. This happens when I am walking or exercising, and mostly on the right side.
12. Sometimes when I have symptoms such as my hands/feet turning blue, or numbness I fear the doctors have missed the diagnosis of a serious illness. I was very fearful about the tumor on my liver for several months when they first found it on a CT-Scan.
13. I have no energy now for my normal routine. I no longer work. I was a mathematics teacher and have not been able to teach for two years. I do not feel well enough to participate with friends and family in many of the activities I used to.
14. Medications: Topiramate 100mg QD; Promethezine 12.5 mg QD; Zolmitriptan 5mg PRN
15. Family history of heart disease, thyroid disease, cancer, migraine headaches, asthma
16. I graduated from college with a degree in mathematics and computer science for secondary education
17. I have taught math and computer science, and worked as a software engineer.
18. I cannot drink white or red wine, which contains sulfites because I get a migraine headache almost immediately. I have found an organic wine containing no sulfites, which I can drink with no ill effect.
19. I am very impatient person. I get agitated waiting in traffic, and am short-tempered when I feel people are not doing things fairly or efficiently. But I am also unorganized. I am having great difficulty with my memory (which began before I started taking the topiramate). I still try to tutor a few math students but am having trouble remembering how to solve problems that were simple in the past. This is very stressful. I am also forgetting conversations that I have had with people, etc. I feel a great deal of stress, and am fearful about my health and constantly worrying about my children. I enjoy teaching, but not public speaking in front of large groups. I do get up in front of groups and speak if I need to. I love my husband and children very much, but did not have a very close relationship with my own parents. My grandparents both died last year and I was close to them as a child.
20. I feel like over-all I am worse in the fall-winter months, when the weather is colder. I do have symptoms year-round.

Thanks again for replying. I will send any more information that you need.

Dear Faisal,

Thanks for your reply! I can order the Nat Mur 200c.

I am very eager to learn about homeopathy. I have spent several days trying to figure out what remedy to take by reading books and websites, but since I have had no training I could not decide. Would it harm my recovery to understand how you chose this remedy?

Sorry, one more question. I have Natrum Mur 30C and 6C, could I use either of those instead? Or would 200C be the best?
 
Ada88 last decade
Yes Ann first day you can use 6c then rest of the day you can use 30c ok if you feel better then you can use 200c .

thanks

Hi. I used the Nat Mur 30C for 1 day, and then 6C for 4 days. For those 5 days I felt no real difference. The next day, I had a severe migraine headache on the left side (mine have always been right-sided in the past) and this new headache occurred with an aura where I saw flickering lights (which has never happened before). Since then, almost 2 weeks now, I have had a headache everyday (mostly on the left side). My intestinal symptoms have also worsened. Please help – I’d like to know what to do next!
