The ABC Homeopathy Forum

help!!

i am a 21 yr old guy. i have a history of constipation and depression since i was 14. i was diagnosed with clinical depression and IBS when i was 17 and the allopathic medication hence presribed for about a year, has only increased my constipation. i had an operation for left inguinoscrotal hernia last year. the surgeon said that due to the anti depressive medication, hernia had grown due to constipation. i have been recently seeing a homeopath who is very professional. He is infact, so professional that he does not take responsibility for anything that goes wrong with the medication he prescribes. His treatment is expensive. in mid may, he prescribed me some medication, for which the existing problems magnified and there was not a single improvement. i complained about it and he said he would change the medication next month. so i had to wait for a month. My original complaints(symptoms reported to him) were constipation(IBS), severe headache and sinusitis due to constipation, irritation and restlessness due to constipation and also sleeplessness due to constipation. the root cause of all my problems are constipation and it is so irritating that i have pimples and boils on my forehead and upper arms and upper backs.i stoop due to the irritable feeling and weakness sensation at the back of my neck, possibly resulting from constipation.

So, The next month the medication was supposed to work but then it was worse. then after taking it for 15 days i gave up and stopped the medication. The doctor told me that i am sensitive and i should be prescribed only least potency drugs. indeed i am. I waited for two weeks for the effects of the previous medication to come down. But it didnt. It still hasnt. So i contacted the same doctor and enquired with him about it and he said i should take a anti dote. And so, he prescribed me Coffea Cruda 30, 10 pills a day.Although its been 3 days that i have started it, it has already made me calmer and i feel like i am more in control of myself. However, the problem of constipation has remained the same and has not improved. I am feeling that having taken all the homeopathic medication and paying so much money for the treatment, the medication has only done worse and this is so irritating and it sometimes that i cant control whats going on in my life. And now, when i have said this to my doc, he says the next prescription will be given after 18 days(which i dont understand?!)

Coffea Cruda 30 is working for sleeplessness and inducing calmness although at a slow rate. But the constipation that exists is nullifying the medicines' effect. I want to know what i need to take now. the lowest possible potency to stay on the safe side. I dont know if its risky but lowest potency , i hope will not harm

Help me and God will show you benevolence that is eternal(!).

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
Ans. IBS (Constipation type).

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Ans. most of the other physcial sufferings are due to the constipation problem i have. bloating, gas, headache, ear pain, feeling of head exploding, top of the head aching, weak and almost inactive legs, discomfort and rigidity in upper thighs and the back of upper thighs(due to constipation),Right indirect inguinal hernia(diagnosed) that tends to push towards my scrotum when the constipation increases, weak urine flow(experienced more when there is too much bloating due to constipation), difficulty passing flatulence(trapped gas) stiff and uncomfortable shoulders, chest and armpit, weak and slightly painful ring and little finger, weak and slightly painful wrists, sinusitis, pimples or boils on the shoulders and upper back, pimples and boils on the forehead,loss of flexibility in the abdominal area, pelvic region the portion below right rib cage(liver) pains when there is excess constipation, inability to do any physical activity.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
Ans. Highly decreased overall productivity, ineffective, unreliable at finishing any work on time. Very slow at eating food, almost struggling to thrust food down my throat.Irritation, frustration, Many of the mental sufferings are decreasing with the current medication of Coffea Cruda 30. i also had too many sleep disturbances but that is being corrected effectively by Coffea Cruda. Anger,

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words.
Ans. a feeling like my brain is going to explode, extreme confusion, indecisiveness, a feeling like i dont have legs, most of my lower body is almost numb( this is slowly being corrected by Coffea Cruda but it is not being sustained when the constipation increases). i masturbate without any sexual urge if am too frustrated due to constipation and also in the hope of feeling 'lighter' in my abdominal area. It somehow works temporarily as i also pass flatulence after masturbation.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
Ans. i think it started when i was 14 years old. i dont know why but i was slowly getting very depressed for no reason that i can think of. i also remember masturbating a lot without any sexual urge. As far as i can remember, i was extremely depressed and i also had difficulty eating and was really slow at eating. Since 14, when i started masturbating, my legs started feeling weak. As far as i can remember, i never really had a normal sexual urge/ feeling. it was almost always diminished. however, all the doctors say the reason for there being a diminished sexual urge is due to intense depression. the depression was maximum from the years 14-18. When i went to the psychiatrist at the age of 18, i was diagnosed with a major depressive disorder/ emotional disorder for which i was put on psy medication for about a year(course was over). After and during the medicatiion, the sexual urge diminished and constipation and bloating increased; also lethargy set in which wasnt prevalent before the medication. Not any significant advantage having taken the medication. the medication is lexapro 20 mg (escitalopram oxalate). i was also diagnosed with prostatitis 3 months after the medication was over. i was also diagnosed with a spermatocele or an epididymal cyst( color doppler result).

6. Which time of the day you are worst?
Ans. No time as such. the whole day is nagging and brutal. it feels like time is too slow. However, there is some relief in the evenings.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.
Ans. things that aggravate my suffering:
1) not keeping occupied
2) sitting in one place the whole day
3) being alone
4) lack of physical activity.
5) tight cloting, especially trousers
6) hot weather
things that ameliorate my sufferings:
1) fibre supplement( if i dont have it every day, the problem would have been much worse)
2) tea(this makes me feel more active and also increases chances of a good bowel movement).
3) one glass milk a day.
4)yoga and exercises that aim at improving flexibility.
5) going for long walks.( this is an important and compulsory remedy).
6) keeping physically and mentally occupied the whole day(this is by far the most important task that i must undertake everyday, but there is difficulty initiating it).

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
Ans.Problems are more in extremely humid weather and extremely hot weather.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
Ans. Cool weather with a humid temperament.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
Ans. Very moody( this is how people close to me describe me as), friendly, egoistic but never showing it out, introverted, never intending harm to anyone, my friends and relatives describe me as being very knowledgable(generally), excitable, extremely vicarious. I think this is the basis on which my doctor prescribed me Coffea Cruda 30.
- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
Ans. Irritated.
- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
Ans. Most of the time, yes.
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
Ans. cant stand noise when i am very constipated, cant sleep if there is light on.

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
Weeping, talking to one self etc?
Ans. No.

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
Ans. I had too many problems with my parents but that is now being sorted out pretty well. My parents are very patient and good people but there seemed to be a fatal communication gap for the past few years concerning my health problems. They believed that most of my problems are very basic and just needed some psychological corrections and heavily insisted on that. i had to shed a lot of energy to explain to them that it wasnt as they thought. They later understood. There was a feeling of humiliation in me etc etc.
11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
Ans. I just fear sometimes that my career may get affected if i dont do anything quick about my existing problems. But i have a feeling that i am on the right track for the treatment of my problems because just now, i have finished with my engineering studies and will be going home in 10 days for which i can concentrate on my treatment.


12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
Ans. i like all kinds of foods; i guess it depends on my mood. I have no food aversions.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Ans. A bit above normal. i drink more water and it helps my digestion, just a bit.

14. How is your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Ans. Hunger is normal but i get bored midway while eating since i consume too much time. Now that is being effectively remedied with Coffea Cruda.

15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand?
Ans. I am a vegetarian and i dont eat non veg food. i tried it last month and i think i cant stand it.

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?
Ans. Sweat is Normal. Trunk sweats more than the others.
17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
Ans. a bit less than hard if i am regularly taking fibre supplement. bowel movement is kind of restricted. there is no sensation of being in control while passing stools. This may be due to the previous homeo medication(pls read previous post). the bowel movement was much less restricted before the previous medication but there was still the problem of constipation, only now it has increased after having taking the first( or previous) medication.

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
Ans. My sleep was very problematic. But thanks to Coffea Cruda 30, the problem is very effectively being solved.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
Ans. I dont know how to answer this question. I dont have much of sexual desire.

20. Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? How are you different from others?
Ans. No peculiar or strange feelings. I think i am different from others in a way that i am more versatile in the talents that i possess and also have a decent intuitive discretion and understanding; only that i am unable to do even a 20% justice to my talents and potential.
21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?

22. What major diseases are running in your family?

23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance.
(For Females)
24. If your menstrual cycles are not normal, please describe the irregularities, like pains, moods, flow type, clots etc.

Ans. Lexapro(escitalopram oxalate) 20 mg for major depressive disorder when i was 18(age) for about a year; tegaserod maleate 6 mg for IBS at the age of 19; ulcikit(omeprazole + tinidazole + amoxycillin), pantoprazole, serratiopeptidase, rabeprazole sodium : all of these for the stomach ulcer and superficial pancreatitis that i had when i was 17( there was an endoscopy and an ultrasound that diagnosed them); Ofloxacin 400 mg, clarithromycin, levoxacillin for my problem of prostatitis when i was 19 years of age.

i am sorry yet again, i forgot to add two more things to the last questions:
5) viral hepatitis (age 20)
6) surgical treatment for left inguinoscrotal indirect hernia(cause: congenital, aggravated by: constipation), right indirect inguinal hernia was not treated citing later self- repair(doctor's advice).

i would like to add: i am not one bit depressed now, currently the only problems are constipation that causes irritability. i had sleep problems which are very effectively being treated with coffea cruda. other mental symptoms too are reducing due to coffea cruda.

Right now i am taking coffea cruda 30, 10 pills every day. My doctor told me to take it for 15 days and later review it but there is still 10 days for that. So i am hoping a remedy which is of least potency ( as my doc said i'm 'sensitive') without my already existing medication of coffea cruda.

Correction: the last few words of my last sentence of my last post(!).

'....without changing or affecting my already existing medication of coffea cruda'
, is what i meant.
