Back inflammation rheumatism

Hi Dr Yogesh

My mood and temperament are generally good. I have been told im a happy person and people notice i am usually positive. I did however have a tendency to get angry quickly, but this anger has reduced by about 70% over the past year (i was on the contraceptive pill for over 10 years!! But i stopped it last year). Up until last year my anger was a lot more, and i was not as calm as i am now.

I work in IT so am sitting down infront of a computer alot, which i think contributes. However on days when i am not sitting down, i still get up with the pain.

When i am in pain (every morning when i wake up), my condition is fine mentally. I don't let it make me sad or get angry about it any more, because i have had this pain for so long, i am almost used to it.
To give you some history, in December 2006 i went to new jearsey and the weather at night was below zero degrees at night. One day when i woke up (my bed was warm and comfortable), from my neck to my hip i was in so much pain, i could not move or even call my family for help. The pain was excrutiating for some time, i managed to get out of bed slowly but the rest of the day i had a hot water bottle on my back. I think my back must have caught a Chill when i was in new york as a tourist. After returning to Sydney, the pain only came back occasionally, but when i got a new bed (its latex and has no springs), the pain seemed to disappear. 1 year later one night in the rain i fell down the stairs, on my bottom, although no bone damage occurred. For 1 month i was in pain when i sneezed or coughed. I was not able to get relief from my physiotherapist so i started seeing a Chiropractor who after xyays found i have a small 5% Scolliosis. Since then i have seen her every month and she readjusts my spine and my posture has improved. But when the weather got cold in 2008 – 2009, i felt a sharp pain inside my left hip.
I went to see a Sports Doctor and he got me to strengthen the muscle inside my hip with exercise which relieve the pain permanently, and since 2009, i have not had that sharp hip pain. Then around January 2010 this back pain which was occasional in the past started to increase and some times the pain would move around. At April the pain became unbareable and slowly moved from my left to my right, and some days i could not breath without pain in the morning in bed.
So thats when i saw the Sports Doctor again and he determined it is some sort of inflammation in my body. Around the same time i had a cold which did not go away for 2 months. I try hard not to take any medication, but i eventually took antibiotics to help with the cold, and that dried my nose up.
Right now, the pain is not as bad at it was in April, i can say generally it is better. But i am still sore and stiff in the mornings.
As some background, other health issues i had in the past was ovarian cysts, alot of acne, menstrual problems, too much body hair (and my bust development was affected). Since then my cysts are gone, and i have taken Cimicifuga to bring on my suppressed periods.

Im sorry but i don’t know what you mean by my disliking mentally. Can you elaborate more? Or give me examples?

Ok thanks.

My likings:
I watch very little television, usually i like programs on buying and selling and redesigning homes/property. I also like self improvement, so any programs on the Law of Attraction, self development, i love to watch. I watch some Oprah, and any movies i watch must be comedy/feel good movies. I know negative thinsg affect you in a negative way.

I dislike the news, or anything that makes me sad/upset. I dont read newspapers or fiction (i think its a waste of time).

I read books alot, especially books on self improvement or books by spiritual leaders such as Louise Hay, Abraham Hicks.

I do hate dishonest people, i would prefer everyone to be honest and upfront with me. I dont like being used or letting people think i am letting them use me when infact i am just trying to help them.

I do like to travel, but a few weeks is the most i can handle. After my holiday i am always glad to be coming home, i am never those people who want to always be on holidays. I think its because i like my job and life.

I have good time management skills and i try to be neat and tidy all the time (im not perfect in that area yet but people always comment on how tidy and clean i am, so i must better than most).

I like to have my life and money in order, i always have savings and never borrow from anyone. Usually i am the one they turn to for help and advice.

In general i am very picky, and will not date just any guy that comes into my life. I have high standards with everything, which means often times i must go without something, in order to get what i really want.

I am very slim (i have always been slim with a fast metabolism) but have a stiff body. I would like to improve my flexibility.

Recently i have done food detoxes and my eating is much healthier. So even if i eat fast food rarely, i always crave salads and vegetables, i no longer want the sweets and fast food i used to enjoy.

I hope this will help.

I have been in contact with my homeopath overseas, but he doesnt ask me much about my personality.

He has suggested i take Rhus Tox 30C, 1 drop every 6 hours. Im not sure what you think of this?

Thank you very much Dr Yogesh.

Yes i understand you must treat the person as a whole.

I will use your remedy and certainly report back.

I have already started Rhus Tox, so i will keep going for another week and see how it goes, then i will try your remedy, and report back.

Thanks

O and one other question, i am also taking Echinacea 12C and Omosmodium 30C, 1 drop every 6 hours (for my bust development).

Can i use Lachesis while i am using these other 2 remedies?

I thought id ask

Hi Dr Yogesh
I woke up today after 6 hours of sleep because the pain is unbareable. Im actually writing this in bed at 5:20am because i cant move or sleep. Even breathing is difficult. I have been using the Rhus Tox for 4 days now. I read somewhere if your symptoms increase, it means the remedy is too strong. Is that possible? or does this mean Rhus Tox is incorrect for me?

I am now thinking of stopping all my other remedies and starting your Lachses.
What do you think?

Also yesterday was a sunday, so i was not behind a computer. I did dance a little at the gym and also got a 30min massage which was very nice for my back and relaxing.
So i dont understand why the pain is so much worse today.
This is a chronic pain and not acute, so i dont know if i should stop suddenly and wait and see, or continue like this?

Hello Dr Yogesh

Ok on thursday morning i took4 drops of Lachesis 6C in 20mil of water on an empty stomach. I waited 30min before i ate breakfast.

It is now Sunday night, more than 3 days so i thought i would report back.

In terms of my back pain, i have not noticed any difference since taking the Lachesis. In the past week my back pain did spread to my lower back, but i think that might have been started by the Rhus Tox, which i started Wednesday the week before. I stopped Rhus Tox on Monday, because i did not want it to clash with Lachesis.

The only thing i noticed since starting Lachesis 4 days ago was that today, i noticed some mensturation today. It looks like i am about to get my period, which i was not expecting as i had my period 3 weeks ago. However i was taking Cimicifuga at that time to get my period started, so i do not know if this is the day my cycle should be starting.

What do you suggest i do Dr Yogesh?
I will wait for your response.

Thank you

O thats great news.

Ok, tomorrow morning i will have another dose of Lachesis and then report back by the end of the week.

Thanks

Hello Dr Yogesh

I thought i should update you. It is now sunday and i took the second dose of Lachesis on Tuesday morning.

My period finished on wednesday, (although not completely, it sort of started every morning till saturday and stopped during the day.

My skin on friday suddenly became oily and i started getting the painful acne i used to get in the beginning of the year. I have not had this in a long time.

The pain in my left hip returned after 1 year, when i was walking on Friday.

But there has been no help with my back pain and stiffness at all. If anything, the pain is worse, and seems to move. One day its on the right, one day its on the left. Its really hard to breath.
And the back pain/stiffness does not resolve itself during the day anymore.

I'm getting worried, as i cannot even get relief from Tiger Balm anymore.

What do you suggest i do? Right now i am not taking any homeopathic remedy, as i have also stopped Rhus Tox and Conosmodium/Echinacea.

Help please!!!!

Thanks Dr Yogesh

I just remembered something i forgot to mention earlier. I am taking 1 drop of Sulphur 200C every 3 days. This was for my personality and acne.
Should this also be stopped? I thought it might interact with Platina.
Sorry i didnt mention it earlier, i actually forgot as it is only every 3 nights

Hi Dr Yogesh

I took the Platina on thursday morning on an empty stomach 30min before breakfast.
Friday - my back pain was much worse than the past week or so, very stiff body and hard to breath.
Saturday- Although i was still sore and stiff, it was about 10% better than on friday. I could feel a slight relief.
Sunday - I only noticed a small improvement from the day before, but it was still painful and stiff.
Monday (today) - The pain was worse again today. I woke up around 6am and my chest/ribs were very painful when i tried to breath in. Today the pain seems concentrated on my right side.
But last week before the Platina the pain was on my upper left side.

The pain seems to change almost every day, its never the same when i wake up.
My body still still pretty stiff through out the day.

Also im still getting acne as per usual.

I hope thats enough, if not let me know what else to update you on.

Thanks again

Another thing i forgot to mention earlier is that recently my eyes have improved.

Both my eyes are now stronger by 1 degree (0.25 points) since 2 years ago. Even my prescriptions from many years before then were weaker than today.

So thats actually a health win i have had this year, and i attribute it mostly to the fresh vegetables and fruits i eat this year.

Hi Dr Yogesh

I am 27 year old female. I am single (never been married).
I am the youngest of 3 kids, my sister and brother are 14 and 19 years older than me, as my parents had them at a young age, while they had me unexpectedly at a older age.
My parents have been seperated for a few years now, but always had problems with each other, even before i was born.
I was the reason they stayed married together, as my mum wanted to seperate just before finding out she is pregnant with me. But this has not upset me in any way, as i know how much i have always been loved by my family.

In terms of my being single, the reason is the fact that i have had some very bad experiences in the past with guys when i was 18-19, and also recently last year which has scared me about getting closer to just anyone. As a consequence i am very cautious and picky about guys i date.

Update: I also woke up with a lot of pain and stiffness today. I think around 5am i turned to sleep on my sides and my side ribs were so sore, i had to sleep on my back again.

Do you think Platina was not the right remedy for me?
