The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Can someone help my wife? - will donate for any definite help
Hello,My wife suffers from a serious problem that causes great suffering in her life.
I will use pay-pal to pay anyone who can give definite help that works. [We are slightly desperate.]
Conventional Western diagnosis is menstrual migraine for which she uses an anti-migraine drug. Obviously, she wants to find the root cause and so wants to try homeopathy.
I have some shallow knowledge of homeopathy, so I have tried to include useful information that homeopaths look for. I have used the online Remedy Finder but it gave very weak matches with the symptom list.
Problem occurs roughly twice a month.
Normally once in middle of menstrual cycle [but time varies because menstrual cycle is irregular and period itself is very light]
2nd time at end of cycle of a few days in to new cycle - so day 25 to
day 3. My wife always has a painful menstrual cycle. often complains of
a sore waist.
My wife is 34. She is Taiwanese. She is a English teacher. Personality
is responsible. She is a perfectionist. She is perhaps 5kg underweight.
Active busy person. Sleeps very lightly. Often has insomnia. Is busy
with job. Quite a driven person. Not because she is ambitous, but she
cares about doing the best to help her students. Private person. Very
few people are close to her [just me and her mother] Vata type. She
does not have soft.yielding personality of the Pulsatilla type.
As to the problem itself:
I have a theory that she has some symptoms that are compatible with a serious flu. We have seen a couple of Chinese doctors who said perhaps she had a flu she never properly cured and it is resurfacing with the symptoms below. However, they seem unable to help.
Problem description
Normally the night before the problem she will have little or no sleep.
She almost never sleeps 8 hours. She will dream a lot.
1st stage of problem
Flavor of spit changes from normal.
She says her spit becomes flavorless. Wants to drink something to try
and get some kind of flavor into her mouth.
Eyes feel sleepy and starts to yawn a lot.
Once starting to yawn a lot, her nose starts to run.
Urge to blow nose. Stuff from nose is watery.
Nose becomes blocked if it is not blown. Discharge comes from both
nostrils in the nose.
2nd stage
Feel pain in vein on left side of nose.
This then progresses up to behind left eyebrow bone and behind left eye and simultaneously pain begins on left temple and left side of the
head. Occasionally pain at back of head, but not normally. Pain is very intense. Feels as if it is boring into her head.
Sometimes, but not all the time she feels hot then will feel really cold. Will not sweat.
Heart palpitations and a feeling of finding it difficult to breathe
last for an hour or so near the beginning for when pain is serious
She always feel nauseous, and very occasionally will vomit.
Urge to stay still when lying on bed. But will move because the pain forces her too.
Will urinate and defacte more than normal during problem.Urine is less
in amount, but there is a constant feeling that she wants to urinate.
So she is constantly going to the toilet. Occasionally will have
diarrhea, but not always.
Muscles in back of neck and shoulders will feel really tight.
Feel like going to die. Talk of death.
Feel abandoned by God.
Think of suicide to end pain.
Doesnt like loud sounds. Not sensitive to light.
There is a desire to eat fresh watery food [sour fruits such as apple
or orange] Aversion to oily food or heavy food.
The problem normally lasts around 24 hours or so. It comes on gradually. It ends gradually.
What makes her head feel better is applying pressure to certain points.
For example, to left side of nose or to back of neck at the base of the
skull [slightly on the left side]
My wife will also get pain on the right side about once a month, but
compared to the above it is just a twinge. We know if the pain is on
the right side she will NOT have to suffer strong pain.
Thank-you in advance to anyone who takes the time to apply their knowledge of homeopathy to come up with a good remedy.
If you have any further questions, please ask.
Kind regards, Simon Jacques

Hello,
Please give more details about mental (as much information about her behaviour/temperament/fears/odd traits/food cravings/aversions) and physical(temperature preferences, general things that make her worse/better, any sensations she feels, or any other odd trait).
I will ask questions if needed after I start analyzing it which might be in a day or two.

Thank you taking the time to help me Sameer.
Astrology: Sun, Mars and Venus in Scorpio. Moon in Gemini. Ascendant Leo. Saturn in 12th house. Vata type.
Aversions:
Afraid of sleeping alone [although she can if she must] because feels unsafe - as if a devil is watching her.
Dislikes snakes and caterpillars and worms and silkworms.
Has great trouble accepting less than 100% effort from her students. So often feel burdened from job.
Still has moderate level of sadness and guilt about father's death. Believes she didn't do enough taking care of him. [death happened 7 years ago but this condition began before that]
When falling asleep she will twitch.
However problem was relatively infrequent [once every 4 months or so to now, once every 2 to 3 weeks]
Personality.
Very private about life. Slightly paranoid about protecting privacy. Does not show true self to anyone except me. High-strung person.
Very brave and confident on the outside but full of self-doubt concerning own professional competence. [despite her being one of the best English teachers in our city - the proof being her great financial success with it]
One of the most unselfish person I have ever met. Very devoted to me and family.
Intense person. Very honest and strong internal moral code. Does not follow societal norms if she believes she is right.
Very straight and strict person. Can be very blunt.
Gets sad easily. Not a naturally happy person.
Good, close relationship with her parents and with me. Sex life is fine.
No particular food cravings.
Saunas, or exercising too much, such as when we went hiking for one hour will trigger this problem.
No preference for hot or cold.
prefers winter in Taiwan because it is much less humid than summer.
Comes from a poor background and has become well-off from sheer hard work.
Ok, if you have any further questions, please ask.
Thanks, Simon

Please answer these questions with the 'you' being her:
Are you able to wear tight clothing or high neck clothes?
Are you suspicious ?
Do you ever have exceptional loquacity marked by a rapid change of subject i.e. jumping abruptly from one idea to another ?
Do you use your tongue in a very refined but cynical and critical way ? As if you have an intuition about the weakness of others and hence an ability to hurt them with precise sarcastic words ?
Do you ever get jealous ? If so, in what situations?
Are you intense and passionate ?

I can wear tight clothing without any trouble. I can wear high-neck clothes without trouble.
Yes I am suspicious of people and their motives. I trust very few people.
Yes I can really talk a lot and express myself through words really well rapidly changing from one subject to another.
Yes I often use my tongue to be very critical of others. I can be very cynical. I have a 'sharp' tongue. Actually, I cannot really sugar-coat words.
I see other people's weaknesses very easily. I am not easily fooled.
By jealousy do you mean envy?
I don't suffer from jealousy in relation to my husband, although this could there is a lot of trust between us and he has no close female friends.
I can be very envious in the following ways -
The main way is if I see others who I think are better teachers or who have better English than me. than me [professional envy] It is not a pleasant feeling. I think why cant I be like that.
I am envious of women more beautiful than me [but this is not as strong as ability-based envy]
Yes I am a very intense and passionate person. I really enjoy sex when my health or time allows for it.
Dr,
I am guessing you are going to suggest Lachesis. I should let you know that 4 years ago my wife tried a very low potency of this and it didn't work. [6x or 12x]
Thank you again.

SBSingh last decade
12x is too low a potency for any significant change to occur.
Three doses of Lachesis 30c to be given for ONE single day as described below.
Dissolve 2 pellets of Lachesis 30c in a 250 ml spring water bottle. If leave the pellets in water for 20 mins, they will melt. You can shake it gently after they have dissolved.
Take a teaspoon from this bottle using a disposable spoon 3 times, spaced by 30 minutes. This is to be done for one day ONLY.
Let me know in 5 days after these 3 doses.
Restrictions:
1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 40 minutes prior to, or after taking the remedy.
2/. Do not touch the tablets with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water .
3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption
4/. Avoid wearing perfume/aftershave, or exposure to anything with a strong smell on the day and 3 days following the remedy administration. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense.
5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicey foods
6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be avoided during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by an MD.
7/. Nothing of a medicinal nature should be applied to the skin

Thank you Sameer,
Since I live in Taiwan, where is a good and reliable supplier of these pellets?
We previously used tiny [non-dissolvable in water] sugar balls put directly under the tongue.
Must these dissolvable in water pellets be used?
Secondly, because I need to pay postage each time I order and to save time, should I also order some 200C lachesis and any other remedy?
Thank you.

You can order 5 ml liquid dilution from Helios UK , for both 30c and 200c, and then use 2 drops of 30c instead of 2 pellets I have suggested above.
They ship to anywhere in the world in 1 week.

Hello Sameer,
I have [finally] received the lachesis from America in the 30c and 200c dosages.
Just one question. And I am sorry if I am splitting hairs.
The suppliers say to dissolve 5 pellets directly under the tongue, whereas you say dissolve 2 pellets in water. Does it make any difference?
Thanks, Simon

Lachesis is anti-sycotic. It covers the totality and the miasmatic state very well.

♡ John Stanton last decade
Speculation does not cure cases. The patient can see who has cured cases on this website and who does not.
Some people believe in boasting with empty philosophy and no cures :)
And, we will see once she has taken the remedy.
And, atleast (unlike some people), I dont throw Sulphur at every case I take up.

I responded because you are trying to unnecessarily confuse the patient, and you have done this now in 3-4 threads in which I am prescribing, and I do not understand, why would you interfere in cases where remedies are being chosen on totality, as there are plenty of cases on this website which need your knowledge.
Remember this, if I start undermining your 'Sulphur at everything prescriptions', you will know what I am saying.

Okay here is what I don't understand, you say
'speculation-i see no inquire into other areas--border line guess work--lead on questioning---etc etc --better if patient or intimate with patient to be allowed free speech ---rather than direct yes no questioning
'
I allowed patient to describe in his own words, and when I had a remedy in mind, I tried to confirm it. Where is the guess work here ?

if had lachesi in mind (maybe right choice --maybe not) ---we as homoeopaths dont dig that way---we work around it --and allow free speech so to speak) --just a lesson on case taking--much more valid if patient reveals without being lead...DONT u agree?
♡ John Stanton last decade
ONLY AFTER THE PATIENT HAD FINISHED WRITING all that he could did I try to confirm the remedy.
If the patient had nothing more to say, and I had a remedy in mind, what is the harm in confirming it by asking questions. Anyways, feel free to prescribe.
You would be spending 10 days going in circles and then saying 'take 1 dose of Sulphur..blah blah'

I never forced the patient to answer in a YES or a NO. And, mind the kind of words you use, as I can also bruise you if I want to. Learn some humility and respect, and please get a better keyboard where the 'space' key is working.
'The highest ideal of a cure is rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of the, health, or removal and annihilation of the disease in its whole extent, in the shortest, most reliable and most harmless way, on easily comprehensible principles'
So, lets cure and not argue.
