Almost like someone has taken a bike pump and blown me up - mostly below tummy button.

Spaced out means like I'm not here, not quite with it - only happens if I've eaten something that doesn't agree with me

Tight - like someone had put me in a clamp and was pulling tight - feels restricted.

I constantly have to watch my diet and what I eat and drink - if I eat too much the bloating becomes really bad - sometimes tummy takes on a hard and shiny look like you had painted it with vanish - hate feeling like this and hate the way it looks

Nothing I can think of happened two years ago - I've always had a bloated stomach but think as the years go on it gets worse - maybe it's due to age - maybe digestion doesn't work as good - I do get heartburn and indigestion if I eat a lot of fat

No periods - gone through menopause - 55 years of age

I'm very much a doer - I don't give up and work hard to get what I want - struggles in life have always been around trying my hardest to keep fit and get rid of this bloating - being successful and happy and healthy. I have a friendly personality get on with everyone I meet but I don't take prisoners - I speak my mind and if people don't like it well you take me as you find me. I can stick up for myself - I do let a lot of things go over my head and bite my tongue but sometimes I do let rip.

Since being a baby had this phobia - can't touch or be near one - no feather duvets etc. cope with birds outside but not keen if they come near me but doesn't affect me going out etc. Never touched one so can't really say any more and have no desire to touch one - had this for 55 years and to be honest I've learnt to live my life around it. Friend and family know they have to move them for me if they are in my space.

No reoccurring dreams.

I have to restrict my diet - would be lovely sometimes to have bread or coffee and cake - but I daren't because as soon as I eat these foods - I bloat - so I do without - I have a very strong willpower I have to add.

Go to bed at 10 pm and sleep for 2 hours then after that wake up every hour or so - usually get up around 5 am but get up and can bounce around after 10 mins - always been like this but think when going through peri meno and meno it got worse.

Not sure about the 'no way different' from other people - think we all share similar problems but we are all individuals.

Hope this helps.

Yep all very helpful. Just a few more clarifications though.

Even though you may not be able to think of anything, what *was* happening two years ago when it got worse? Where were you living, where were you working, what relationship were you in, who did you live with etc?

Ok no periods is normal post-menopause, therefore this is not a symptom of disease.

Describe more on the struggle with your fitness.

Describe more about 'not taking prisoners'.

Describe what it is like when you 'let rip'.

Imagine what it would be like to touch a feather, and describe the sensation or feeling or thought. With any phobia, just naming it isn't enough, we need to understand how it makes you react, what the specific reaction is.

Describe more about 'very strong willpower'.

What happens when you wake every hour, what is happening to wake you, what happens to keep you awake, what can you do to get back to sleep?

Each answer provides further access points to deeper levels of your case. You are doing well so far.

2 years ago still living in the same house with same partner - we had gone through a difficult patch but we're fine now - all relationships go through this and it was our first 'bad spot'. I was working as a temp so would be in an out of work but I'm happy with that. I've now secured one year fixed term so safe for next 12 months.

I feel I constantly have to work at keeping fit otherwise I gain weight very easily - I don't want that as I'm very aware of the problems being overweight can bring - plus I like to make sure I look good. I'm not tall so any weight gain shows immediately but for me it's a constant struggle - hence when I said earlier that I have to constantly 'keep my eye on the ball'. If I have over indulged etc. I find I don't feel well, get heartburn, indigestion etc. feel lethargic and tired. Don't like feeling like that it's uncomfortable.

Not taking prisoners - I won't let people walk all over me - this relates more to my work life than home - guess I mean if I require something at work to get the job done - I'll hound and push till I get it - I hate it when other people stop me from getting my job done because I'm waiting for their input.

Letting rip - I bottle things for months and say nothing then when I do - it's like the top came off the bottle and it all comes out - stuff that happened months ago and has no relevance to what has just occurred.

Feathers - don't want to touch one! Get shivers down spine and I walk away from it - think I'm so used to avoiding them now that I just react as normal but they make me squirm. Hard to explain how it makes me feel.

If I set out to do something I'll do it - like stopping smoking - I knew I had to - did it cold turkey and stuck to my willpower. If I don't want to do something or I want to do something I'll do my best.

Just wake up - look at the clock then go back off again - but it's broken sleep all the time. Very rarely sleep all the way through the night now. I find I'll go on like this for a while then one day I'll get up be really 'shattered' and that night I'll sleep like a baby - wake up the next day refreshed and the proces starts again. Guess I don't need a lot of sleep. In bed by 10 pm and usually up work mornings about 5 am.

Hope the above helps. Let me know if there's anything else.

All I want is for this bloating to go away for good - and it just seems impossible - so downhearted at the moment with homeopathy - feel that there has to be something to cure it once and for all!

I would not judge homoeopathy too harshly at this point. Forum prescribing is rarely as sucessful as that done with a qualified homoeopath in a face-to-face interview (although not without its victories of course).

I am having some problems with my internet connection (something that never affects me in my clinic with my own clients) so I am working on this when I can.

The remedy Nux-vomica seems indicated here. I would procure 30c. Let me know when you have it and I will give you instructions on using it.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thank you - I will be able to get some today.
 
kohler last decade

Thanks.
 
declanparkes last decade
Declanparkes could you please create a seperate post for you problem. Someone can discuss it further with you there.

What form do you have the medicine in - drops or pillules?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I have nux in Nelsons pillule form.
 
kohler last decade
Get a small bottle and fill it with water. Place 1 pillule in the bottle and allow it to dissolve. You will make your daily dose from this bottle.

Hit the bottle firmly against the palm of the hand twice. Place one drop into 1/4 cup of water and stir thoroughly. Take 1 teaspoon into the mouth and throw the rest of the cup away.

From the step where you hit the bottle, repeat this process 2 more times. This means you will take one dose each day for a maximum of 3 days, hitting the bottle twice each time.

Stop if your symptoms worsen, or very markedly improve, even if you have not done all 3 doses.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thanks for that - and are we talking about 30c or 6c?
 
kohler last decade
30c
