Ten years ago, at the age of 57 my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I had only been married for 3 mos. My mom was my hero. I took care of her until her death 5 months ago. It was the worst thing that could of ever happened to me. As I was losing her I felt I was losing the air that keeps me alive. It was a slow painful process. My dad and sister along with our husbands and a large supportive church group helped. 3 months after my mom passes my mother-in-law unexpectedly dies. To relive my mother's death through my mother-in-laws was the last straw. I feel like doing nothing. I don't consider I am necessarily depressed. I get up every morning 5:30am to excercise. I love my job. I work on-call as a court interpreter. I love my husband. I cook and eat healthy, drink plenty of water. I sleep an average of 7-8 hrs/nite.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take Ignatia 200c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for only one day (not daily) and report back after 15 days.

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Update:

Never took Ignatia 200c. Have been recently diagnosed with severe depression. Currently taking Lexipro 5mg. a day since March 2011.

Still taking birth control pills - (Lo-Ovral) daily.

Friends/family think I am suffering from ADD not depression.

Do I start with Ignatia 200c as directed before.
 
maritzapc last decade
Please take ignatia as suggested earlier and report back.

Update:

Have lost a lot of weight due to pancreatitis, acute colisticitis, colitis.

It started with really bad menstrual cycle that was paralizing back in July 2012. I then had food poisoning. Had severe diarrhea and had a upper gi and lower gi test.

Ended in emergency room with pancreatitis. Treated the pancreatitis and removed the gall bladder because test revealed stones in gall bladder. Ater surgery, had 2 bladder infections accompanied with diarrhea. Have been on antibiotics 2x since. Also found 4 stones in kidneys.

Continue to lose weight and saw a gastroentorologist. Blood work came back with high level of H. Pylori bacteria. They have given me the antibiotic treatment for this bacteria. Am taking probiotics.

Is there anything else I can take to alleviate the nauseau, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia, pain under rib cage, bloating and belching no matter how little I eat.

Update

Time has passed....

Was better from the nauseau, diarrhea, fatigue, not from the bloating and belching.

Fast forward to now...
A lot of issues have been resolved and I have come to terms with one episode of molestation as a child. Stress with family has been resolved. Feel very loved by husband and proud of his accomplishments.

Having severe chest pains in sternum and in back where kidneys are (left hand side). Always thirsty and urinate a lot but also drink extreme amount of water. No urinary infection. Appetite is weird, only hungry late and have been extremely exhausted. EKG and xray and lupus test all negative. Excessive belching even w/o consuming food. No passing gas, just through mouth. Some acid reflux from time to time. Diarrhea may come and go for no apparent reason. Off and on headaches. Doctors found rosacea in both cheeks & nose (butterfly zone) and psoriasis on legs and arms. Still suffering from insomnia from time to time. My normal temperament is usually an anxious person by nature. But nothing out of the ordinary at this time, as previously stated, issues have been resolved.

day 1

Please take a single dose of Sulphur 200.

day 2 onwards
whenever there is pain take a single dose of Nux Vomica 200. If this doesn't help take Belladonna 200. Only one or two doses should be taken in a day.

Again,I'm writing on my friend's behalf.

She took the Sulphur 200 5 days ago. Prior to taking the pill, she came to the realization that she could be suffering from depression. She states she is in a funk. No desire to do anything for over a month. Also, waking up in the middle of the night. Feels better from her stomach. She usually can't say no to people. Always being pulled. Has a job that requires her mental best. Hears a lot of stories of abuse and injustice. Husband changed jobs recently and she doesn't comprehend his change to jobs, as she is a more stable one. As of today, she feels like she doesn't have the energy to do anything. She want's to know if she needs to take anything else. Results from doctor - negative H.Pylori blood work, pancreas levels normal.
 
2spanishgirls 9 years ago
Nux Vomica should help her.

Lac equinum and Aurum Met are other remedies that may help. She may take the remedies with reasonable interval and note her response to the remedies. The remedies may be taken im 200 or 30 potency.
 
kadwa 9 years ago
She started taking Nux Vomica 2x a day in 12 hr intervals.

Texted me and feels like a zombie, floating in air, not self, horrible, mere exhaustion.

Still working, saw husband briefly this weekend, he had to leave for job again for a week. Had to say no to people again and feels bad about it.

Still waking up at 2 am. with busy thoughts.

Should she take Aurum Met with Nux Vomica?
 
2spanishgirls 9 years ago
Nux Vomica 2x is a dangerous potency. Nux should always be taken in 30+ potency. i mean above 30C potency.
 
kadwa 9 years ago
She took a total of three doses. I will inform her not to take more. She was desperate and was complaining of nervous stomach.

First day - 1 dose of 200c. per bottle instructions (she took 4 pellets every time)

Second day - 1 dose (4 pellets) am & p.m.
and continued doing this for 3 more days.

Should she take something else to counteract the Nux?

Still not able to sleep. No desire to do anything not even type this up. I have to be on the phone with her to get her to speak to me.
Doesn't wan't to do her bills or house chores but is pushing herself to go to work and function there. There is no sexual desire, but has not problems in the marriage. Mouth is dry but doesn't feel like drinking. Constipated, Feels jittery from exhaustion.
