Multiple Conditions & Treatments - What do I treat first?

Thanks.... I will try it.

My store has only the 30C not the 200C.

They said it might be two weeks to get a special order in.

Would 30C work? I am still having trouble understanding the difference between 30C and 200C.

One is supposed to be more specific.... but not necessarily stronger.

So I don't get it.

If I can use the 30C, what would you recommend on how many pellets and how often per day... and how many days?

I know this isn't medical advice.... just wondering what would be recommended...

Or if I should wait until I get can the 200C and then treat it.

Until then, can I retake the sulphur? I would like to do another dose.

Thank you!

Oh one more thing.... a dose means....

Does that mean take 1 pellet of 30C, 3 times daily, for 3 days?

(Even if the bottle says take 5 pellets?)

It helps knowing this, as I don't want to waste them.

Thanks much Ruth and Erika!

My husband and I are on a limited budget....

He wonders now whether I should wait until I can get the 200C in rather than taking the 30C. If you think that the 30C would be beneficial without having to get the 200C at all - I will pick some up. Otherwise I might wait after all. All this stuff adds up.... different medications.... but it seems as though it would be cheaper than tons of doctor appointments and worthless prescriptions.

My husband is hesitant right now because this is fairly new to us.

From what I read now, it appears that Staphysagria is supposed to be good for genito-urinary tract and skin diseases.

I have had trouble with the skin of the vagina cracking and tearing in the past, I frequently have bleeding afterward. And I haven't had regular sex now since the surgury! And just the other day I tried stretching the opening for when we DO finally have sex again.... and there was lots of blood afterward.

Does this still seem like the best treatment to use first?

I also noticed that people who need this treatment sometimes have rash or itching above the ear.

I have a rash on my left ear - on the upper portion of the ear, along the crevice. (not above the ear... but on the ear itself) Just wondering if you think there might be a connection or if a better treatment would be appropriate.

What do you think would be the benefits of taking this product before starting on something for the pus-like discharge and before treating the mucous membrane with the silicea?

I am just curious about how one determines which item should be addressed first.

And if you believe I will likely be needing the 200C, I might just wait and buy that one instead.

In the meantime, I would like to continue with the sulphur. I reached a point where symptoms are returning now.... so I just took 1 more 30C. (last time was last Monday)

With using 30C sulphur, do I still wait to see what happens.... and just take more when it stops working?

I noticed the first time I took it that a day later I had fatty, mucousy stool... which i took as a good sign that it was cleaning out my system.... And i noticed great relief of allergy symptoms, skin rashes (the ear issue came back today), relief of odor symptoms, post nasal drip etc.... so I like this stuff. It helps.

How long does one wait to take a different medication after the last dose of the prior one?

Wondering how to prepare to switch over to the other one... and whether they can be taken on the same day or not.

Thanks so much for your help! I do appreciate it.

Change of plan.....

I have decided to start with Sepia.

I have a rash on my ear is more like a Sepia. It itches.... I scratch it, it peels off in layers, turns all red and looks infected at times.

I also have been having trouble with very stiff legs when I get up to walk - can barely move them at first, but after walking awhile they improve. Also a sepia issue.

I had terrible flatulence after my surgery, only relieved by laying on my right side. That would be sepia too. That isn't as bad as it was - but sometimes I still can't pass gas without laying on my side like that.

My discharge from the urethral is very sticky. It is yellow. It stinks to high heaven. Oh... and i do get stitches up my urethra and in the vagina! That is also a sepia thing. I have had thoughs for years! Scared me very much the first time it happened. Lately they have been very sharp feeling when they happen.

I have been having intermittent heart palpitations that the doctor hasn't figured out yet. And I have had beating in arteries before as it mentions with regard to sepia. The doctor ran some basic tests, and doesn't know what to do other than lower my thyroid medication.

I have terribly sweaty, stinky feet too.

And also had some horrible pains near my liver last year that the doctor never could diagnose. I had to put a pillow under my right side in order to sleep. I had all sorts tests and scans, and nothing surfaced as an obvious cause. I am not a drink at all...period, so it isn't that. There appears to be no disease to the liver. Just pains that were severe for a week or two, then it disappeared. Occasionally I do get twinges, but nothing like before.

The hot flashes intensified after having the urethra widened, and opening myself up to infection from all this.

It is very weird to read about all my symptoms like this - that just taking this medicine could address so many things.

The other thing I noticed is that sometimes I have sulphur symptoms and sometimes sepia ones. My feet are boiling, my feet are freezing, for example. I am freezing, no I am burning up.

My tongue is always white but with a red tip. Sometimes the edges are red, sometimes not red.

My lips are always sore.... always cracking, especially the bottom lip. Usually red all the time too.

I have been having sensitive hair follicles when shaving, but they are improving on the sulphur. And it sounds as though the Sepia might help that as well.

Feeling like there is a ball in the rectum is EXACTLY the sensation I get. Sometimes I can't get the stool to come out until I push hard on the outside between the vagina and the rectum to force the stool to come out through the rectum. It has been like that for months now. When I push there, it feels like there is a large ball under the skin.

And I must say, I decided to take one 30C pellet and after about 5 minutes I actually felt my chakra's open up and got a rush of energy through my system.

Wish me luck!

I am planning on just taking 30C 3x per day until symptoms are relieved. Any thoughts on that? Is that too much? Too often? I am just going by what I found in a book.

And I am assuming again that one pellet will suffice.

Erika,
Thanks for your reply. I understand about the staphysagria, not knowing whether one would have to switch over to 200c from 30c or not. It might have been best to start there - but with feeling so uncertain and feeling a sense of urgency to start a treatment - I guess I jumped the gun on the sepia.

I know you are now saying don't trying switching around alot. Right now I am sticking with just using sulphur and sepia.

The women at the health food store it was okay to use both, but I am not taking them at the same time, just on the same days.

I do want to report to you, that I do experience excellent improvement when using the sepia 30C for the discharge.

I don't know if it is from using both of these (sepia and sulphur) or just the sepia that is helping.

At any rate, the health food clerk told me that sepia would be good if there was infection present, blood and pus at the same time.... so I figured that with going off the antibiotics sepia would be a good choice.

Maybe I was wrong.... and I appreciate all the feedback you give.

Hopefully next time it won't be so urgent. I was determined to get started ASAP because of stopping the antibiotic. And I think I made the right decision.


Feeling good in myself is good guidence. Thank you!
I DO feel much better! In fact, what I notice is the ability to be more in the present moment. I feel as though I am more in my body. It is a good feeling. I also feel more kind, sensitive, thoughtful. Those are good things - less selfish and less self-centered, more appreciative.

So I think those are good signs.

Questions:

Do you think that taking Sepia 30C and Sulphur 30C three times per day for 3 - 5 days is a good idea? (When I stopped the sulphur for 2 days i notice symptoms returned.... so I don't want to wait too long between.)

In fact, i am having symptoms right now - burning down below that wasn't there most of the day. But the sepia and sulphur are at home.... and I don't go home for another 2 hours! Shoot....

So I am thinking that maybe I need to take it closer together after all.

I think the sepia is important right now.

If I take just the sepia.... how much 30C... how often, how many days?

If I take both sepia 30C and sulphur 30C, how often of each one, how many days?

That is what I need help deciding on right now.

Thanks so much!

Abimn

Passkey,

Thanks for your reply! The silicea is one of the treatments I am hoping to start sometime in the future. The stinky feet is really an issue!

Abimn

Erika,
Okay....here is what is up with me....

I did some reading on the internet and in some books about using sepia - I wasn't trying to follow the advice on the other therapy you mentioned.

One of sources them said on the 1st day, take the first 6 doses of sepia 2 hours apart. And after that, take it 3 times a day for 4-5 days.

I decided to try this during the weekend....taking it 2 hours apart. I did at one point wait too long, and I noticed that I was getting some sensations in my genitals that told me I was late taking it. That cue is a helpful reminder.

I must say I have had VAST improvement since I did that. I even peed out a scab from my urethra! I believe my urethra is becoming healthy again. :)

I am now taking it three about times a day. I can feel or sense when I need a dose. There is a sensation in my genitals - a hot sensation.

I think I am doing excellent. The pus appears to have finally reduced a great deal. It used to ooze out after I urinated when I wiped myself off. Now there is nothing on the toilet paper but urine - no pus! So I know this is working. Also there are few bubbles in the toilet. Also a good sign.

Also, I feel so much better emotionally. I don't feel irritable like I did. I find I feel at peace, a sense of harmony - and that my chakras have opened up considerably.

When I take the sepia, I get a tingling sensation in the groin - which I relate to chakra energy. My root chakra has always been my weakest. And when I feel this, I feel reassurance that it is working.

I no longer get abdominal pains like I did. I no longer feel intense urgency to pee like I did. I feel like I am becoming more and more normal!

With the sulphur, I am taking that about 3 times a day. With the sulphur, I notice that I need it when my chest gets congested and I get the urge to cough. I could probably cut back - but I know it is also helping my genitals as well. So I am continuing with it a bit longer.

I think perhaps my hesistance to stop and wait longer before taking more is because the first time I took the sulphur, I waited for 3 days before taking it again..... and that was too long. I didn't follow the signs well enough - the symptoms that tell me when it is time for another dose.

The odor I get diminishes when taking both of these. The sulphur is helping with the odor problem - related to the discharge and urine. I no longer can smell my own odor all the time. It would just hover around me - i would get embarrassed by it - wondering if everyone else could smell my genitals besides me.

My husband is slowing coming around. He was at first saying that if it didn't work immediately that I should take the next antibiotic my doctor wants to try. (My primary gave me a RX for Suprax if the homeopathy didn't work. He said though it was a shot in the dark - he didn't know it would do any good or not - because they don't know really what is going on with me. He says I don't have to go back to that urologist... but if I need to see different one, he will right another referral for me. I am very hesistant to spend $30 on the RX if I don't have to - especially when antibiotics can reduce my resistance to other things and actually make matters worse.)

I want to make sure I give my body time to heal. I have no idea how long it takes to recover from something like this though. I am sort of just playing it by ear.

:)

I wish homeopathy was clearly covered by my insurance. It would really help. My insurance policy says an administrator of some sort has to determine whether homeopathy is medically necessary or not.......and I suppose I could check on that - but I was afraid I would disappointed if I spent a lot of time on it for nothing.

Thanks Erika...

I will keep you updated.

Hi Erika!

I thought I would give myself some time to see how things proceed prior to writing to you again about my condition.

Can the discharge get worse again before it finally goes away???? I was feeling so good in many other ways.... but the discharge starting coming back again.... and now I don’t know what to do next.

I had been using the sulphur, then added the sepia. I was getting some good results with the discharge reducing. Then I thought I needed to use one of my boric acid inserts because the discharge changed. It seemed more like the discharge was drying on my daily pad like a yeast might do – sort of caked on the pad. So I did an insert – while continuing the other two treatments.

I got immediate results. The discharge stopped completely for about three days. Then it resumed again! But not yeast-like. I was so bummed that the other discharge was back.

My husband suggested that I get some borax to take homeopathically – and I jumped at the chance. I hate having to make those other inserts (gelatin capsules filled with pharameutical grade boric acid). Using the borax seemed much simpler.

So now I am taking 3 of the treatments – and I know that seems a bit extreme.... but I am desperate. The borax is helping too now....

You had said to take a treatment, wait until I see if I get results.... then take it again when symptoms return. I am concerned about doing this when it comes to the discharge.... I don’t want the discharge to return. When it returns I panic over it.... and wonder what I did wrong.

I know I needed the boric acid added. And the borax seems to be helping. My clitoris was extremely red, swollen, and looked like it was distended and sensitive – like it was erect. And once I started the borax, this reduced and it seems normal again. The borax also cured the rash on my left ear! That was nice. I had thought the sepia might help that but it turned out be borax related.

The big question is why my discharge smells like matches! It is like someone lit a match and blew it out. The smell is very strong. When I use the boric acid, the smell finally comes out on the pad – normally that smell only is noticeable when I stick my finger in the vagina to smell what the discharge is doing.... I have been hoping it will go back to normal. Only I don’t know what normal will be like after having the hysterectomy. Sometimes the smell reminds me of mustard.... sometimes matches.... And when the search features on this website use certain terms to describe the discharge when it comes to odors, I never know which one really describes mine. It used to smell very musky all the time when I was on the antibiotic.... but that was when the discharge was like all over the place.

Now that I am not on the antibiotic, the match-like smell is all I get – and that is what it started out as... about 5 weeks after my surgery. What would cause that odor? What kind of bacteria causes something to smell like matches????? I thought the smell might be related to sulphur.... don’t matches have sulphur in them? And since like cures like – I thought for sure the sulphur would help that.

The discharge diminishes when I take numerous doses of the 3 treatments in a day – like taking it every 3 – 4 hours. Perhaps that is too much – but it seems to stay away when I do that. If I reduce it to just 3 times a day, the discharge comes back.

This is frustrating.... but I am waiting a bit longer prior to trying that antibiotic the doctor wrote up for me. But I am not sure how to adjust the frequency.

Is taking something every 3 – 4 hours too much? Would it cause harm for these three: Sulphur, Sepia, Borax.

It is hard to know when to stop – when to give up on something.... and when to switch to something else. Right now I just took another dose – because my groin feels hot.

Also, there have been some urinary issues as well. The other day I swear there was some large junks of sediment. Sometimes i think there are scabs that have come out. At least the frequency of urinating has diminished....and I can hold more. But the color of the urine is much darker, golden color. It used to be almost clear for a while, like someone needed sulphur. Sometimes it is bright yellow – but that might be vitamins.

I have no idea what is really going on, on the inside right now.... one can’t look in the urethra to see how things are progressing. All I can do is monitor other symptoms.

I know the sepia makes me feel very at peace. I know the sticky discharge goes away when I take it frequently enough. And it seems to help my lips too. It especially helps the emotional turmoil. I am not near so overwhelmed or worked up. I am much more at peace.

I know the sulphur improves my congestion a great deal. My cough is gone when I take it. And I know I need more when my cough returns. And I know that sulphur is good for pus-like discharges. I also know that my personality is usually more sulphur-like.

I know the borax fixes the distended clitoris and clears up my ear rash. And I know it is good for discharges. I know that boric acid is the one treatment I felt I was led to one year ago – synchronistically – so I feel that is an important one too. I had chronic yeast infections for 15 years prior to using the boric acid inserts. Nothing worked – even diflucan daily didn’t work – and I took it for like 2 years. I tried tons of stuff... but the boric acid inserts cured my problem with the yeast.

I keep hoping that one of these will work like magic for this discharge.... that just taking the right one will somehow do it.

But I don’t know how long it takes.... I have read about some people being cured magically with one dose.... My condition is chronic though....and my immune system has been having trouble for many years now – since I have CMV in 1991.... and the doctor assumed that it was already in trouble in 1991 or I wouldn’t have gotten the CMV in the first place. No one knows why I have these infections... why my body can’t handle bacteria on its own. I have had test, after test, after test....and nothing shows up.

I have been hoping that using homeopathy would help boost my immune system. But I just need to find the right treatment.... and the right dose.... and the right frequency.... and then finally perhaps be able to stop....and wait.... and maybe the whole nightmare would end.

There is nothing more frustrating that feeling totally helpless. And having this happen to such a private part of my body makes it very frustrating – very humiliating – very embarrassing.

Any suggestions would helpful – I need a good solid resource to refer to.... a book on homeopathy that is very detailed or something. The books I have don’t focus on just the genital area.... if there is such a text – something that goes in much more depth with regard to the genital areas, I could use it!


Thanks again for your care and concern.... and I wish I could talk to you directly or do some sort of IM or something – it would make this much easier for me.

By the way – I also have ADHD.... and some OCD issues – so perhaps that I why I tend to over-react – jump right in – make hasty decisions, etc....

This affects how I pursue my therapy – and I might not always make the wisest decisions because of this.

I told my husband the other day.... that now we have bought 3 treatments.... and if we had bought the one you suggested in the first place, we might not have needed all three. And you would think it would relent to have me try the first one.... the one for after surgery.... because it is supposed to help speed up recovery.... but he STILL doesn’t want to do that!

Very frustrating. I wish he wasn’t so fussy on spending the money because I would have tried it in a heartbeat.

If I am going to continue taking all three – should I be staggering them throughout the day?

I am afraid to just stop one of them out of fear of symptoms returning. Help.

Abimn

Erika,

Is Sulphur an Antidote for Sepia..... if so... perhaps taking them both at the same time makes them both not work.....

Saw that some place....

Abimn (Abigail)

Passkey,

That might explain why taking them at the same time reduced the effectiveness.

It is okay to take Borax with Sepia???

Matches smell of Sulphur Dioxide - found this on a website somewhere.

I think it is time to stop the sepia and the borax for a while.... and do just the sulphur. (although going downstairs is always difficult for me... fear of falling when going down stairs)

I just used the Remedy Finder to look at numerous symptoms... and sulphur still leads the list with most of my issues... I think I just need to give it more time.

If I use sulfur, can I expect some symptoms to get worse? Like it sometimes gives me indigestion I think....

Also, the smell actually gets worse at first.... the mouldy urine smell... I think maybe from cleaning something out of my system.

It still really helps the way I feel... and reduces the discharge well i think... both nasal and urethral.

What can you tell me about using sulphur and what to expect???
