hi, i am a 30 y.o female, 164cm tall and weighing 93kg(obese). im constantly thinking of food. I eat enormous portions and don't know when to stop. I eat till my stomach feels like exploding yet i don't stop. I have always had this problem but it was more controllable before my marriage break down. After the divorce ive been a comfort eater, when thoughts or memories of my traumatic marriage came to mind i would turn to food, mainly bread and a lot of butter and chocolates.I don't allow myself to cry. I find it hard to do so its almost like im numb. If by chance i feel like crying i will hold back the tears. Even now to this day i still eat a lot bread and butter, chocolates, junk food, large portions of everything. I don't feel thirsty thus i don't drink a lot of water. My mood is generally OK although i do get angry easily and more so to family members. My sleep is disturbed after 2pm. I don't know what times i wake up but i do wake very frequently were i realize im awake, change my position, and go back to sleep.I tend to sleep on my belly turning head right and left throughout the night. I puff out easily, i sweat a lot in my underarms. I stress a lot about my finances and my business (work). thoughts are of how to do things better or in another way or simply repetitive thoughts of finance/business worries. In the past ive taken antibiotics for colds panadol for migraines ventolin for asthma. I haven't used traditional medicine now for a long time (11 yrs). for migraines i took belladonna, for a uti i took berberis, gelsemium for a back injury. my asthma is suppressed i don't get attacks now but when i run i get a burning feeling down the back of my throat and down my air pipe till the level of the Adams applep.p.kana on 2008-08-29

I have to walk on my heels or turn my foot to the side.Sleep is disturbed i wake constantly after 2pm (almost hourly). Nose is always itchy. Bad breath in morning and after meals.
3) Mentally i am terrified of birds! and ghosts. Mentally after the divorce i felt abused, betrayed, i lost my trust in man kind, lonely, depressed (i took ignatia and then nat m for that which helped me gather a bit of strength back) angry, disappointed. Because of that i turned to food as a comfort but i didnt know when to stop.

Rishimba hi! I took Lyc 200C as you suggested.
With the first dose i took i instantly felt a slight burning sensation on my tongue. I also felt calmer, slightly withdrawn with a fuzzy feeling around my head. i also got a pain in my stomach which left as quick as it came.
With the second dose i felt hunger on and off and i noticed my sense of smell was more sensitive which later lead to a cleared up nose.
With the third dose i felt a heaviness on the back of my toungue. I also felt insanely hungry but when i tried to binge i ate a normal amount of food and felt very very full!!!!
The following are responses to the medicine within the next 10 days:
*breasts were more painfull around the nipple area
*sleep was more disturbed than other times-i felt more awake when i happened to open my eyes during sleep.
*i felt immense tension through my shoulders and neck which by the end of the day gave me a headache(took nothing for the headache, just went to bed and was fine the next day). Tension lasted for 3 days
*i felt a lot more hot than normal which caused me to sweat more than usual.
*i was thirstier than normal
*hunger still there
*binging is slightly better but still occurs
*sex drive has noticeably increased
*nose blocked up again after 4 days or so
*takes me longer to fall asleep at nights
Thats how i responded to the`medicine. Shall i continue it for the month or do i need to change the medicine? Thank you Rishimba for your time. Much appreciated!
