Dr. Sameer please help

Hi sameer would be greatly appreciated if you could find a remedy for my condition as i am finding it difficult to determine the correct remedy for my condition.

I have constant red cheeks and flush easily. I also have sweaty palms and feet and sweat easily. My condition (red cheeks and sweating become worse on exposure to hot/cold/alcohol/exercise). even light exercise worsens my condition. When i flush easily my head becomes hot instantly and my sweating can increase. I am a extremely shy person who fears daily chores ie. being in a crowd, meeting people, getting on trains because of flushing. I feel best when alone or sleeping and my condition appears to become worse as the day goes on.My left cheek is also sightly redder than the right cheek.I am a extremely shy person who blushes easily when around others. It would be greatly appreciated if you know of a homeopathic remedy for these symptons.

Other details on my condition are as follows

Thanks

Pre-condition number 1 while on treatment with me, you will not take any homeopathic remedy on your own. You are playing with fire by taking the remedies in the way you are taking them.

Will respond in a day or 2.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi John,

Give a gap of 10 days from the Ambra dose, and then please follow this prescription exactly.

Three doses of NATRUM MURIATICUM 30c to be given for ONE single day ONLY as described below.

Dissolve 2 pellets of Nat-m 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 10 days after these 3 doses. I look forward to your response.

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

Sameer

Hi Sameer I took natrum muriation 30c as advised by you and here is my report after 10 days

There was a slight improvement in the sweating of palms and feet for approx. 4-5 days but that improvement has subsided. During that improvement my hands were still warm and if I held the remote for the tv, the heat off my hands would wet the remote control. My hands are almost always warm while my feet can be cold and sweaty.

On the first night I had numerous frightful dreams, one in particular where I dreamt of people breaking into my house. when i woke i couldnt get back to sleep for a while and every noise outside the window made me think that someone was outside trying to brek into my house.I have this type of dream from time to time but havnt had one for a while. I usually wake up approx. every hour when I get to sleep at night and my dreams can be frightful.
There is no improvement in bleeding gums, red cheeks,skin and sweating while walking or any of the other symptoms outlined above in previous posts.
What would you advise be the next step

Thanks

John

And, how do you feel overall, how is your general mood and well being ?
 
sameervermani last decade
My general mood is fine, I cant say for sure that there is a major improvement but mentally I feel ok.
 
John 1 last decade
I am still shy and fear daily chores but with regard to self confidence I feel ok and my spirits are high
 
John 1 last decade
Okay, please procure Natrum Mur 200c, and talk to me when you have it with you.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer I have natrum Mur. 200c. Would you kindly advise me on the dosing procedure.

Thanks

John

2 pellets dissolved in 250 ml spring water, and 1 teaspoon from there ONCE.

Report in 3 weeks.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer I took Natrum Mur. 200c as advised by you 10 days ago. I feel that this remedy has had no effect on me and any of my symptoms. I took phosphorous 1
 
John 1 last decade
Hi Sameer I took Natrum Mur. 200c as advised 10 days ago. I dont think this remedy has any improvement on me mentally or my symptoms. Before getting advice from you, 2 and half months ago,I took phosphorous 1M before 4-6 drops directly onto the tongue every 15 days for 1 half months and then introduced an intercurrent tub. bovine 1M taking it 4-6 dropd directly onto the tongue and the next day taking one dose of phosphorous 1M.
Phosphorous seems to match my symptoms totally-cheeks red,nose light redness,humming in ears, eyes red,watery, neck redness,bleeding gums,spits up food, hungry straight after eating,stitching in chest/shoulder,vision blurred and colours and shapes in front of eyes- dark spots floating around and colours in eyes after falling asleep,water is thrown back up into mouth after becoming warm, paralzing pains from rectum,cannot stay or sit still or hold anything without trembling, strong heart palpitations after anxiety, dreams vivid and frightful, wakes frequently while sleeping, sweats while eating warm foor,during light exertion,easily and have blush spots on skin.

Could it be possible that the dosing procedure wasnt correct while I was taking phosphorous as I didnt see any improvement in my condition?
Also I have bleeding gums now for approx 2 half years. All my other symptoms I have had since adolence approx 11-12 years. Im now 24.

Thanks

Hi John,

Please take 3 doses of AMBRA GRISEA 30c, and report after 1 week.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer
I took ambra grisea 200c and 1M (4-6 drops directly onto the tongue) previously before consultation with you. I was told before that you cannot reduce the potency of a particular remedy. Dose your prescription advice still remain the same?
Also while taking ambra grisea before my eyes were more watery while outside the house and while walking past people I wouldnt blush but instead my eyes would turn watery.

Thanks

John
 
John 1 last decade
Yes, go ahead. Do not take more after 3 doses on one day spaced by 1 hour.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer just to clarify the dosing procedure is it 3 doses of ambra grisea 30c, 2 pellets dissolved in 250ml spring water, three palstic tablespoons from there spaced by 1 hour intervals?

Thanks

John
 
John 1 last decade
Yes
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer I took ambra grisea 30c 7 days ago as advised and there doesnt appear to be any change in my condition. Do you have any opinion on phosphorous? It appears to match my symptoms totaly and was told that a remedy should match your symptoms totaly which is called you constitional remedy.

Thanks

John

'I took Calcarea Carb 14 weeks ago 30c (dissolved two tablets in spring water, three capfuls,40 mins apart,one day only) It was also suggested to me that lycopodium 30c may be my remedy. I took Lycopodium 30c 12 weeks ago (dissolved two tablets in spring water, three capfuls,40 mins apart,one day only). '
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer my response to calcarea carb. and lycopodium was that my bowell movements changed approx. 8-9 days after taking both remedies for one day. I had to go to the bathroom 7-8 times for one day and then my bowell movement switched back to normal. My stmptoms didnt really change mentally or physically. I took calcarea carb. because I took sulphur previously and then I took lycopodium after calcarea carb.

Thanks

John
 
John 1 last decade
No mental changes from Calcarea or Lycopodium at all ?

How many days did you wait after each of these remedies ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer mentally there didnt appear to be any change in me. I took Calcarea Carb 30c and then after 14 days took lycopodium 30c. I gave a gap of approx. 5-6 days after lycopodium before i switched to phosphorous 1M one dose every 15 days and silica 200C one dose morning and night

Thanks
