The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Dr. Sameer, please help!

Dear Dr. Sameer,
I would first like to appologize for my English.
I am writing you because I am in a lot of pain because of my jaw problems. I would kindly like to ask you for your advice regarding homepathic remedies for necrosis of a jaw bone.

Below I have written the description of my problems related to teeth as well as everything else I thought could be important. I hope it is not too long.

The main problem: Ever since the extraction of my wisdom tooth in October 2008 I have been having pain in the area of the tooth extraction and constant pain in my neck that spreads to my right shoulder and top of the arm; headaches are present more and more often also. My neck became painful to touch right after the extraction and the pain has not subsided ever since. The same goes for the area of extraction, but here pain is periodic. The pain at the jaw area normally becomes more prominent towards the evening. Each time it feels for the pain in the area to be coming from the jaw bone. It is not linked to biting but present mostly when the jaw is still. The tissue around is slightly swollen. The area also feels warmer, a slight burning sensation – this feeling never goes away. The jaw often feels heavy. Something like a hard tissue knot is visible and felt at the extraction site. Stronger pain is also present if I open the jaw and press in the area between the site of upper and lower wisdom tooth. The pain sometimes spreads towards the ear. When eating with the tooth 47, pain is present at the mentioned tooth as well as sharp pain in the ear.

After the extraction of my wisdom tooth I also developed numerous other health problems all over my body: local sharp pain in different parts of my body (mostly on the right side – the side of both problematic teeth), enlargement of cartilage or bone (it has not been established yet) in different parts of the body (punction cannot be performed), rapid growth – nothing else has been established about their nature nor any diagnosis given; masses usually grow after a day of strong pain in this area followed by hot sensation the next day). However the strongest pain has been in my jaw bone and jaw joints, in my neck (mostly in its right side – the neck is sensitive to touch in different places) and in the right shoulder. Since the extraction I also became extremely irritable. Noise has become overwhelming. If I tried to pull one hair out it feels as if my head will explode.

- My dentist highly suspects I might have osteomyelitis at the area of the wisdom tooth extraction – and I feel he is right.
- I also had my wisdom tooth area tested at a good bioresonance practicioner. It showed presense of streptococcus at the area of the wisdom tooth extraction. It also showed that something is not right with the tooth 47-the tooth closest to the extraction area (it has no cavities,…) and at the tooth 15 where a new white feeling was put in a year ago, but the tooth remains sensitive. However, I was told the problems shown with the tooth 47 by using bioresonance diagnosis might be the consequence of an osteomyelitis in the area.
- General health condition: Doctors performed an ultrasound of my neck: thyroid gland is inflammed and so is the saliva gland. Other glands of the right side of the neck are very enlarged also. Antibodies related to thyroid glands have been very high when checked 3 monts ago (diagnosed Hashimoto disease). Sometimes my body temperature is higher than normal (37.2-37.5).
Before the extraction I was a healthy 30 year old woman. A history of bladder infections, kidney stones and constipation (constipation stopped when I moved from my family).
I was put on ciprofloksacin four weeks ago (for 10 days) due to suspicion of bone infection.
- I am sensitive to criticism, a perfectionist, prone to anxiety – mostly due to high lack of self esteem. Social fears since 11 years old. I was taking anti-anxiety pills for my anxiety for 8 years , however, they had strong side effects. I have not been taking any medicines for the past two years (occassionally I take extraction of valarian or other herbal remedies). Ever since I stopped taking antidepressants, I have had problems with my memory, lack of stamina and concentration. I had a lot of energy before I started taking them and my energy went over the roof while I was on them – I went into some sort of maniac state, with a sense of self-aggrandisement and racing mind, but also mixed with extreme mental sensitivity. My body totally collapsed after I stopped taking them, I changed once again mentally as well as psychologically. Now after almost 2 years I feel I have very slowly started to return back to my mental and physical state I had before antidepressants, but there is still a long way to there.
- I sleep well, usually cannot recall any dreams when I wake up.
- I am an introvert, I like spending time alone – I enjoy reading and researching. I analyse things too much.
- I do not like if people pity me. I want to appear as a strong person.
- I get offended very quickly.
- I am afraid of failures.
- I cry easily.
- At the moment, I tend to be quite suspicious.
- I am afraid of arguing – when argument is in sight, I become very nervous and start shaking.
- I have had very high goals set, but I am not able to achieve any of them because of my lack of self-esteem and my social fears. And I go into deep despair because of this. I have studied hard, I love doing what I do, but the two reasons prevent me from advancing.
- There is a lot of duality present – on one hand (when alone) I feel I can achieve everything, the very next moment any contact with another person will make me feel useless and I start feeling I have no control of life. Seeing people having fulfilled lives makes me realize even more what a failure I am. If I am alone for longer period, I also feel as a very happy person – as soon as I am faced with people, I become very anxious and start doubting about myself - I start to feel as a child with no support anywhere. One moment I feel that life is great, the very next moment (after disappoinment) everything looks the very opposite. This duality in my life is present in many cases.Also for example, I am afraid of people, but on the other hand find them very interesting and also love to help them.
- As a child I was creative and smart, but also possessive, agressive and jealous. I had very strict upbringing. I was an overachiever, but nothing was ever good enough for my dad. He always admired everybody else, but found faults only when it came to my mom, my sibling and me. However, he has changed a lot ever since and has now become supportive. My mom was not very stable emotionally either, a lot of jealousy was also involved. Both of them shouted a lot at me and my sister as well as at each other. I was relieved when I moved out, since I did not find any support in the family, only experienced a lot of chaos. There were times when I was very mad at my parents because of that, but now I am getting less and less as I know they are both great people but their own insecurities were too strong.
- I eat healthy. I am very sensitive to coffee. I like any food that is juicy, with a lot of water content as well as drinking water each day.

I have been taking Gelsemium and Ignatia two and a half months ago. After that and after antibiotic treatment I was prescribed Hecla lava and Plantan….(I cannot see the entire name) for my jaw bone problems and was taking them for appx. 15 days.
I noticed the enlargement of bone or cartillage stopped for a while, but is now back again.
Last two weeks I was taking a prescribed pre-made mixture of different homeopathic medicines (content: Matrix-Entoxin®: Aconitum napellus (Blauer Eisenhut) Dil. D4 0,01 ml, Bellis perennis (Gänseblümchen) Ø 0,05 ml, Cinchona pubescens (Chinarinde) Ø 0,80 ml, Eupatorium perfoliatum (Wasserhanf) Dil. D7 0,10 ml. Fella-Entoxin®: Chelidonium majus (Schöllkraut) Dil. D3 0,50 ml, Citrullus colocynthis (Koloquinte) Dil. D3 0,50 ml, Silybum marianum (Mariendistel) Dil.D3 0,20 ml. Uresin-Entoxin®: Gautheria procumbens (Wintergrün) Dil. D3 0,20 ml, Polygala (Senegawurzel) Dil. D3 0,20 ml, Strychnos nux vomica (Brechnuß)).I stopped taking the mixture yesterday.

My pain in the jaw is getting worse and worse. After observing my body myslef, I wanted to continue with Hecla lava or Pyrogenium C 200. I have also just gotten Syphylinum 1M that I wanted to take a day before.

Dr. Sameer, I would highly appreciate your opinion and your suggestions about how to cure the osteonecrosis of the jaw bone in my case and on the remedies I have plans to take. And I am sorry for making it so long and for all mistakes I have made!!!
I look forward to your reply!

Thank you very much for helping me!

Ana

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Dr. Sameer,
Regarding my case of jaw osteomyletis I am sending you some more information on me. I hope it will be helpful.

I am very indecisive. It can take me for ages to decide on very small things.
I do not like going out in public, since I get very nervous around people. I prefer to stay at home. However, whenever there are moments when I do not experience social anxiety, I love being around people.
I am curious, always looking for more knowledge, more information.
I am intense and passionate and can easily go into extremes. I get very dedicated to an idea. However, I can usually focus on one thing only – like now, I should be writing a very long paper, but am constantly procrastinating because I am very focused on finding a remedy/cure for me. Everything I do, I try to do it very thoroughly.
I am a perfectionist. I always think I should be either the best or shouldn't even bother. Let's say when we had to run in high school, I made every effort to be the winner. But if someone ran faster and overcame me, I did not care to come the second, but usually gave up and ended up in the middle. I guess I am very competitive. However, I would not want to be the first on other people's expense.
I actually make a lot of effort to not hurt anyone. I expect this from others also. And if anyone does hurt me, I start shanking and simply cannot understand emotionally why they did it. I also have difficulties accepting it if they hurt others. I feel that my responsibility is to act in both cases, and I therefore I let them know it was wrong, but unfortunately I cannot do it in a calm manner as I should - instead I get this nervous, high-pitched voice and am trembling. It takes a long for me to calm down after.
So I am very sensitive to injustice, no matter if it is done to me or to others. I am very sympathetic to other people in pain and cry easily if they are hurt. I still (very childishly) believe that the world should be just, that people should take care of other people's wellbeing. I guess intellectually I know how to respond as a grown up person, but not emotionally. Emotionally, I very often still feel like a little girl - like a child, who did not get any protection, and is now still looking and longing for it.

Dr. Sameer, thank you very much in advance for your reply!!!! I truly look forward to it!

Hi Ana123,

Please take three doses of STAPHYSAGRIA 30c for ONE single day as described below.

Dissolve 2 pellets of STAPH 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 7 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

Dear Dr. Sameer,

I am very thankful to you for your guidance! I ordered Staphysagria 30c today and will take it as soon as I receive it. I will follow your instructions and I will let you know about its effects a week after.
I would also like to mention to you that I have already been given Staphysagria, however in LM 6 when I had bladder infection about seven years ago and have seen great results from it. After that the same medicine was prescribed (in LM 6 also) a few more times by another homeopathic doctor. However, I might have been advised to be taking it too long at that time - a few months each time. The last time I took it was two years ago.
I look forward to seeing the results of Staph 30C! Thank you once again for your help, I appreciate it very much!

Dr. Sameer,
I forgot to mention that chronic osteomyelitis in the area of the wisdom tooth extraction was confirmed this week by two dentists and surgery was sugested to remove the necrotic bone (necrotic area might be quite extensive). The area of the wisdom tooth extraction has gotten more painful(as well as the right side of the neck) and a swelling at the lower cheek area has become more noticeable.
Dr. Sameer, I will take Staph 30c as instructed and I will let you know of the results!
 
ana123 last decade
Dear Dr. Sameer,
I would like to report on my reactions to Staphisagria 30C I took eight days ago in order to help cure jaw bone necrosis at the site of an extracted wisdom tooth. Also, my appologies for my English.
On the day one of my homeopathic treatment with Staph. I noticed I was more decisive as usual, more calm, self-condifent and was less afraid of socializing. This was more noticeable on day two and day three also. I truly loved this feeling of calmness and of being more decisive as I am otherwise constantly struggling with social fear and low self-confidence that disables me to enjoy life and to achieve goals. These three days I was definitely able to enjoy life more and loved it a lot more for this reason.
On the other hand, the pain at the site of an extracted wisdom tooth (tooth 48) where jaw bone necrosis was diagnosed did not subside any during the seven day period. The tissue around remains inflammed and the burning sensation is still there. Also, due to pain I still have difficulties chewing food on the side of the extracted tooth. Just like months before I could also feel pain at some other teeth – at the one next to the wisdom tooth (tooth 47) and at a few others. I do not know if the later pain could be atributed to jaw bone necrosis as well. Furthermore, my lymph nodes remain noticeably enlarged. I have also felt tired during the entire week, just as for the last couple of months. Difficulties concentrating remained also. And just as for the past few months, I felt something like brain fog, my memory failed often and I also experienced that feeling of being »spaced out« often. I got so »absorbed« into now that I forgot for a second where I was, or what season it was, which month. I still do not have any physical strenght. I still wake up tired and exhausted after 8 or 9 hours of sleep - I feel similar as when having flu when I would want to rest for the entire day. However, I would like to empasize that the symptoms regarding jaw problems stated here did not worsen during this seven day period of homeopathic treatment in comparison to before. Nor did they improve.
However, I had very strong cramps during my period on the day three of homeopathic treatment which was unusual. I used having them until a year ago - however, after I was given Pulsatilla D6 and Badiaga D6 last autumn, I noticed strong improvement and I did not have to take any painkillers anymore. However, this time on day three of homeopathic treatment the cramps were so painful that I was unable to stand or move, and I had to take a painkiller again although I truly wanted to avoid it due to homeopathic treatment.
And an interesting thing (and strange at the same time) I noticed in the last months that I have not written about yet. That is - if I keep for example one half of a cotton pad soaked with water in my mouth (a smaller chewing gum helps also, but to a lesser extent), I become much more calm, focused, I am less afraid to look into people's eyes and better deal with everyday life as my social fobia decreases. Therefore I put it in my mouth whenever I expect meeting other people. However, on the day one of homeopathic treatment I noticed I was calmer even without such cotton pad.
Dr. Sameer, I hope I wrote enough information to help you guide me further. Please let me know if further explanation would be needed.
I look forward to your reply and thank you very much in advance for your answer and guidance.

^^^ How long did this last ? Is the benefit on this front completely gone now ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Dr. Sameer,thank you very much for your reply. The benefit is not completely gone now. It is hard to estimate exactly how much of it is still left as every day is so different, with different chalenges, but I would say approximately 50% of the benefit from the first day is still present.
 
ana123 last decade
Please order Staphysagria 200c and keep it at hand, but do not take it till I tell you to.

Update me on Saturday
 
sameervermani last decade
Dr. Sameer, thank you very much for your advice. I appreciate it tremendously!
I would say the benefits of Staphysagria 30c are mostly gone by now. I am afraid to have eye-contacts with other people again, start trembling when I talk to my bosses or when I expect the slightest aggressive attitute from the person I talk to. The feeling of being inferior is always present when I socialize. Keeping some cotton pad in my mouth still helps me, though – I become more relaxed and talkative although even in this case social phobia has been far from gone.
I had been extremely afraid of blushing (for 10 years) and of running into another car whilst driving (for 2 years) - until appx. ten years ago. Interestingly, these two fobias hit back a few times this week. In general, I would say I have been very sensitive for the past few days and started crying again very easily.
My energy is significantly lower from what it used to be before getting osteomyelitis of the jaw bone (seven months ago) and even more so as before two years ago (before my body »crashed« after getting off antidepressants I had been taking for 8 years). I have brain fog and often make mistakes when talking (use wrong words). My memory is very poor comparing to before - I often cannot remember what I have just been talking about or what I planned to say. I got dizzy a few times during the past week. A bioenergist told me this week I have four energy blockages, one of them is in the neck. After the therapy I started crying uncontrolably and experienced quite a lot of anger - a lot of it was related to my childhood memories and (subsequent) inability to function normally and enjoy life.I felt that the emotions that I wanted to supress came to the surface. In general, the feeling of unjust world has been often present - unjust to me as well as to other people. It is hard for me to understand why someone has a happy life while someone else's life is an endless fight.
All I want during the day is have a rest or sleep. Even small chores exhaust me. Today when I don't work I slept 9 hours during the night and already fell asleep 4 times during the day, each time for an hour or more. I still feel as if I was only half alive. I have no power in my hands. I used to have a strong handshake before osteomyelitis, now it is very week. The area of the wisdom tooth extraction where osteomyelitis of the jaw bone was found still gets painful and pain occasionally spreads to other teeth.
Dr. Sameer, I have already received Staphysagria 200c and I look forward to your further guidance. If I left out anything important or was not clear, I am most willing to add more information.
Thank you very much in advance for your guidance!

Dear Dr. Sameer,
I would like to report how I felt during the last 10 days since taking Staphysagria 200c as instructed.
After two days of taking Staph. the person I am closest to commented that my attitude was noticeably more positive - interestingly, I received the same comment two or three days after taking Staph. 3c0 as well. I agree that my reactions and my feelings (towards me and towards the others) were more positive, especially in the first few days. I laughed more often, I felt more balanced, complicated things less and had less fear of socializing. Now my positive attitude towards myself is getting low again. I am more tense again when I interact with people, my fears are back and once again I have difficulty looking into people's eyes.
In the last few days I have realized a few things I am doing wrong and should be changed from my side as soon as possible as they are too big of a burden for me.
- I have difficulties expressing any emotion other than happiness when I talk to someone in person. This means I act as I should smile unconditionally - even if the intentions are not good or even when I am hurt. Especially, I block anger - instead, I feel shame and blame myself. There is also not enough spontaneous reactions.
- I expect from me to not make any mistakes. On the other hand I treat others' faults completely differently. When I do not have significantly more knowledge than others, I feel - not average, but stupid. Moreover, I feel I am hugely reponsible to not make anybody's day miserable (even regardless of how the person acts towards me) but have a very different attitude when it comes to other people treating me.
- I do not accept myself the way I am. I know I should, but it is so hard. I try, but I the unconscious feeling of being worthless comes to the surface instead.
Physically, I have still been feeling weak during most of the time during the last 10 days. Once - after my bioenergy treatment (after the visit I cried uncontrollably again for half an hour - I felt that some of my suppressed emotions came to the surface) I had enough stamina to go jogging, otherwise I simply cannot do it. In fact, I even had to take last week off as I was so tired, physically as well as mentally (this state had continued from the week(end) before). Even after 15 hours of sleep I could wake up feeling exhausted. I am sure this has been the consequence of the jaw bone necrosis as I was never this way before. My nose is still stuffed, my lymph nodes always enlarged and the pain at the site of the wisdom tooth extraction remains present as well as the pain at the neck. However, I was able to go back to work this week.
Dr. Sameer, I hope I wrote the most important things/reactions. In case I did not, I am most willing to add more.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
I wish you a pleasant rest of the week and look forward to your further guidance!
Kind regards,
Ana

Hi Ana123,

Please take a single dose of

Staphysagria 1M

in the exact same manner as the 200c dose.

Report in 10 days.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Dr. Sameer,

thank you very much for your help. I have just ordered Staph. 1M and will receive it very soon. However, now I have surgery to remove the necrotic parts of the jaw bone scheduled (at the site of the wisdom tooth extraction) for the next Tuesday. Would you advise me to take anything else to support the body prior/after the operation or do I take Staph. 1M as prescribed?
Thank you very much in advance for your guidance!
Kind regards,
Ana
 
ana123 last decade
Wait till 2-3 days after the surgery and then take 1M dose.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dr. Sameer, thank you very much for your reply!I have received Staph. 1M and am now waiting for the operation before I start taking it.
Kind regards,
Ana123

Okay, sounds good.

Hello Dr. Sameer,

I had to log on under a little different name as I do not have my old password with me.
I had the jaw bone operation three days ago. The necrosis was extensive and a lot of the bone had to be removed. There are no signs yet that the operation was succesful and it will be difficult to repeat it as there is not much bone left.
I would need to support the body as much as I can now to function at its best and hopefully recover. However, lymph nodes still do not seem to be normal and I still experience pain in front and at the back of my neck that extends into the shoulder and at the top of my head. To prevent new infection I was prescribed antibiotics.
I would much appreciate your advice: Do I take Spahysagria 1M now or maybe something else, to help the body heal in this specific case?
Thank you very much in advance for your guidance!
Kind regards,
Ana 123

Is the anti-biotic treatment over now ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Dr. Sameer, I apologize, I did not have internet access until today as I am still being treated for the bone necrosis out of my hometown. Thank you very much for your response. The antibiotic treatment is not over yet - I have to be taking antibiotics for approximately another five days.
I would like to thank you in advance for your further guidance.
Kind regards,
Ana
 
ana1234 last decade
Take the Staph 1M dose after the anti-biotics treatment is done.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dr.Sameer, I will wait till the treatment is done. Thank you very much for your reply!
 
ana1234 last decade
Dear Dr. Sameer, Hello. I just found your website. I feel I, too, like Ana1234 have necrosis of the jawbone following many dental and medical errors and procedures. Is it possible for me to communicate with her? Or is that not done? I don't know where to go for help.

With my thanks, robinbird
