body heaviness and swelling
I feel a great heaviness in my whole body and especially in the legs, feet and hands (swelling), also I have also put on some extra pounds.Feeling of heaviness in the body increases during the mensural cycles and sometimes even in between. DOC. says its could be due to some harmonal imbalance in the body and especially because of thyroid malfuctioning. I havent gone for any diagnosis for this yet to avoid any cyclogical affect. PLEASE ADVISE THE REMEDY. I am 25yrs female. Can this condition also affect the chances of pregnancy. PLEASE ADVICE

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
in order to help you we need to know more about your menstrual cycles, more detail about your swellings and more information about you as a person - personality, food preferences, weather preferences. Also since this problem begain have you had any emotional upsets? Have you been trying to conceive and had problems or are you considering pregnancy?

Thanks for a response. As a person I am of reserved nature, emotional, impatiant. The body built is stout, tall, wheatish complexion. I am sensitive to heat and like to eat things when cold. As for my past health history, I was quite OK till the age of 19-20, then somehow i put on some extra weight and to avoid this flabiness when i indulged myself in some hard dieting schedule, i developed the problem of Gastrentereology! and indigestion, which still persists in summer seasons.

and yes I suffered from emotional disturbances during last 2yrs and this is also I think the beginning of body swelling, delayed (generally about 1 week) and painful periods, although the periods were gone right in between but 4 months back when the periods were delayed by as much as 15 days and i consulted the DOC and came to know what could have happed inside me (harmonal imbalance). This was also the first time when I was planning for pregnancy and may be why got concered about the whole things.

Other symptoms include, falling hairs, cold feets, sneezing in the morning and also with sudden change of weather (cloudy day), have developed ASTHMA aswell (its since last 2yrs, seems to be started with emotional disturbances), suffered from severe neck and shoulder pain in the last winter. It further to tell that I do have a deep sleep, but I dream a lot and few times I have woken due to some fearful dream. Hope this all may help you in understanding my problem. Please suggest the remedy I am tired of these sufferings now.

if you feel able it would be very helpful to know more about your emotional disturbances 2 yrs ago.
also have you taken the contraceptive pill in the past?

well the disturbances were there due to the problems which i faced in approving my marriage which was then not acceptable to my parents. and then after the marriage few earlier problems were there in process of setling the new life. Also in between for about one year I had to live alone as i took a job in different city than my husbands, now that all has ended and we are together since last 5 months but still my health problems and few minor problems still distubing the life as I feel that I am not able to give all the things which I might have been able to give my husband and his family. NO as such I have never taken any contraceptive pills.

glad you are now back together living with your husband - when you say you cannot 'give all the things' to husband and family do you mean affection or other? I do not mean to pry too deeply but I need to understand the emotional upset more fully to help you.
Also - are you usually warm or cold? thirsty?
Could you describe your period pain - when it is better, when worse, whether the flow is heavy or light (clots if any) and what the pain feels like.?
Are you still working now you are together with your husband?

Thanks for your concern Erika. As far as my emotional upsets is concerned it is more or less the distractin which i now feel for the ones whom i loved the most. like I was very lovable child of my parents but then 2 yrs back hey made me felt negleted, disregrd and even disrespect. i was alone than and had cried a lot and it was then when i faced my first asthma attack! and then i thought i will be very happy after this all but this doest really happened, my mother-in-law was then problem, and due this there was a change of attitude of my husband (as such he is very caring for me, but due to what was going on he himself was losing a control over himself), and this has somehow distracted myself from him even!

I do feel insecure aswell, and health problems are also cause of some of my depression, and i feel that this way i cannot give him anything. I do have headaches almost every day which i rarely experienced in the past. i feel vey hot in summers and very cold in winters, further i donot like to wear woolens in te winters even when its very cold! as such i do not feel very thristy, thrist is normal, apart from all premensural syndromes, like cramps and pain in the thighs, headache, i do have severe pain in the initial 6-7 hrs. periods are as such irregular and delayed atleast 7 days, many times the flow is heavy with clots but many times there isnt much flow! i do feel relaxed a bit after taking baths and like to wash my face very often.

Hello - I'm sure you will get through this - is your husband now more caring again or do you still feel a change of attitude from him? what is this about your asthma? pls tell me how frequently you get this?
could you tell me if you feel better (pain and emotion) once the first 6-7 hours of your period have passed, and in particular do you feel better once you start to bleed? Also, could you describe your headaches more exactly - when they come and what they are like, what makes them better. Do you get hungry when you have a headache, or get a headache from hunger?
Homeopathy asks so many questions - but they are all related and necessary to help find a remedy!
Do you crave salt? If not then what food do you crave or avoid?

well no doubt that he is very caring and concerned for me. as for my Asthma i told you about that earlier aswell, right now i am controlling it by inhalers, and in a week i have to take that for about 2 times in average, usually at night or when i am emotionally disturbed or when i am tired and breathing becomes difficult, it starts with a dry coughing.
sonikasingh last decade
yes as soon as the bleeding starts i feel very much at ease. as for my headaches, it is of pulsating type on the right side, and many times it is present when i wake up in the morning, or sometimes it comes in the eveaning aswell (this may be due to the days work i guess), Rest makes me feel better (i like to lie on my right) well i do feel week when there is headache, i dont know if this is hunger. but surely i do not get headaches due to hunger. yes i dont like salt much. dont like hot things and like to eat when hey are cold, dont like pulses or spicy food.

I suggest Lachesis 30c - take for one day only, 1 pillule am, one around noon and one in the evening. Report back after 2 weeks whether this has had an effect.
