Hello anon-thanks for answering my questions, but just call me A and use your eyes as little as possible at the computer.
Complementary means that deeper and longer acting remedy like phosphorus is very often indicated to complete a cure after shorter acting remedy like nux vomica.
In other words phosphorus follows nux v. well.
Arnica is very useful also when trauma happened even several years ago! For that you use higher potencies (1M and higher). Homeopaths use the phrase "never well since" some e.g. physical trauma or grief or some disease and use remedies that account for that cause as well as for all the symptoms a person is showing at the moment.
like nux vomica is often called a "modern day remedy" since the cause of its ailments may be traced to sedentary life, too much food/drink/medicines or stress (the last part sounds like you, doesn't it?)
Aggravations after both arn and bell mean -unfortunately-only medicinal aggr. =sensitive vital force reacting to similar but wrong remedies, as opposed to homaopathic aggravation which is followed by amelioration of symptoms=right remedy.
Now, I do not recommend repeating the doses. My approach is: single dose and watch. If the remedy is right you may know it immediately by feeling more positive or more energetic. And when your vital force reacts to the remedy repeating it too soon may only cause confusion. But as Sabra put it I'm a "purist".
You picked 4 remedies from repertory - ((great pick in my opinion!)
HAMAMELIS
CROTALUS-H
NUX VOMICA
PHOSPHORUS
I believe it is better to take them in succession than make a combination. Since your vital force is sensitive I'd advice you to take "a split dose" ie take hamm.30c (or whatever you have) put in half glass of (distilled? spring?) water , mix and take a teaspoon 4 times a day (mixing before each time)- it would probably last 2 days, then a day off and crot-h then nux v. and then phos; that would be quite gentle.And quite fast.
You can make it stronger - let me know if you can get spring water in small bottles where you are.
Vit C is good for capillaries (2 x a day 500-1000 mg) and beta-carotene for retina-(25000 i.u. once a day) but if you eat lots of veggies/fruit you probably do not have to supplement your diet.
PALM a lot. Contiunuously is the best since it takes retina 10-15 min in darkness to relax and start healing. Yuo rub your hand to generate healing energy -imagine it flowing to your eyes and healing them. Palming is your time for visualization and imagery. Breathe deeply, slowly, evenly.

just wanted to add that whenever the improvement sets in STOP taking the remedy. Repeating it at this time may spoil the improvement.

Thanks A:
i was a bit slow in starting with ham, as i had difficulity finding it, especially in the liquid form. finaly i got it from a doctor and started taking it on friday evening.
finding spring water is not a problem, but it is the distilled water that i have difficulity finding. i have used filtered water for now.
i use vitamins often but not regularily, had stopped taking them because someone on this board had suggested that they interfere with the homeopathic remedies.
beta-carotene basically comes from carrots, rarely take it as a suppliment. i am trying to follow your instructions as closely as i can.
Thanks for your patience.

Hello anon!
I'm sorry I must have not been clear-and you unnecessarily wasted your time.I mean when you searched for liquid formula.
Usually people just take dry doses, let's say 30c. (one dose)To avoid aggravation (or antidoting but I really do not believe that you can antidote homeopathic remedies with anything you eat, including vitamins)
you may dissolve that dry dose in spring (or filtered) water in a glass and take spoonfuls from that glass.
If taking a dry dose doesn't cause any aggravations-it's easier and less messy, and it's ok.
Take just one dose of each remedy -in water or dry-(at least a day off between remedies, but maybe you cold take more days off after crotalus and after phosphorus?A week?),
I was talking about you with (obviously much more experienced) homeopath and he sugested a very fitting remedy:SALICYLIC ACID 30c (one dose) It is for retinal hemorrhage worse at night and in cold.Try it as a 5th remedy-just take a week off after phosphorus
It's health problems are caused by flu and aspirin overdose!
REST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

Anon-the homeopath I consulted is very sure you should try SALICYLIC ACID 30C This is from the e-mail from him:
Tell the patient to get Salicylic Acid or Natrum sal. 30C and take one dose and wait and see what happens. If after 24 hours there are no results, take another dose. Take one more dose the third day if nothing happens, after that stop. If there's an improvement at any time, don't redose unless the improvement stops.
So you might want to follow this. (but I'd still try the other 4 as well- remember not to interfere with any improvement)
but the most important is that you REAS & RELAX and REST (PALM) your eyes.

i apologize for not informing you when it first happened. it was the first day of the summer, june 21, 3:30 pm central time.
it is three days now when i took a dose of ham. it seems to be worse than arn, no improvement yet.
i have crot-h, nux and phos,but the salicylic and nat sal i don't have for now.
please advise if i should take crot-h now or should i start with nat sal or salicyclic acid.
will wait for your advice before starting on another remedy.

Hello anon
Are you saying that hamamelis doesn't work? Or did you have aggravation after taking ONE 30c dose? If aggravation-then I think you should be taking your doses in water: just dissolve a dose in half glass of water, sip 4 times a day.
mix before each sip.
Or you may like instead of glass use a bottle with some (PURE) WATER -dissolve dry dose of your remedy and sip from it-before each sip SUCCUSSE =pound the bottom of this bottle against your other palm,1-12 times-the more times you succusse the stronger it gets-adjust it to your reaction.
The phase now is called by homeopaths case management and this will be the hardest part for you-because YOU are the only one who is there all the time and knows best!
I believe you should try salicylic acid (or natrum salicilum-whichever is easier to find) now.
maybe follow his prescription(dry dose) but (after a week) try crot-h, nux and phosph in water.
Your ophthalmologist did what medical profession does best (unfortunately it is not a cure)
has poured his pessimism over you but believe that you can and will be completely healed.
I met few days ago a woman whose son had similar thing to you- in him sal-ac and nux.v. cured but homeopathy is individual
please REST AND PALM

Hello A!
yes, it has caused aggravation. only one dose of liquid remedy was taken on friday evening. it is tuesday morning now and the aggravation continues, no amelioration is noticed yet.
do you suggest a second dose of ham now. or it should be nat-sal etc.
bell and arn both had caused aggravation but no improvement followed the aggravation.
to make the remedy stronger does one have to add more water to the remaining dose each time before shaking it?
one can clean a bottle easily for such a use, but the cap is generally of a different material and it is difficult to clean it thoroughly. just concerned about the purity of the remedy.
Thanks.

I'm really concerned about these aggravations- they mean that you are very sensitive and when someone is so sensitive I learned to recommend remedies in water. And he recommends that you take sal.ac. dry.
You have to decide on that one. Dry doses are definitely easier and cleaner: here you can buy spring water in clean bottles. It is important that it is pure and clean-so maybe it's better for you to just dissolve a dry dose in half glass of water, mix and take sips?
Do not take ANYTHING now when you have aggravation - just palm and relax (and somehow get the salicylic acid 30c (or close)ready because it will be next if there is no clear improvement-if there is:wait until it stops and repeat ham but now in water).
I have Gunavante book "Amazing power of homeopathy"-one case is about retinal hemorrhage and retina was detached and ruptured-it was all cured!

Hello anon,
The homeopath who recommended sal.ac admitted that maybe it would be better if you took it in water-so
put a dry dose in half glass of water, mix and take a sip-this is a dose.
If you have any reaction to it don't take another one until it passes.
If not-4 sips a day (mix before each sip) is enough.
Of course sal.ac. will be tried only after you are done with ham.
REST PALM AND TAKE YOUR TIME coming to computer-your rest is MUCH MORE important.

Hello anon
If you still have an aggravation today (fri-so almost a week) I think you should not wait any longer but take sal-ac (or nat.salic. if it's easier to find) 30c in water-dissolve dry dose in half glass of water, mix 2-3 times, take a sip, and watch your reaction. If any reaction-wait. If no reaction- sip again after about 4-6 hrs (up to 4 times a day).
Don't write unless you have any question. Palm and relax.

I should add that if you have any POSITIVE reaction after sal-ac or any other remedy-stay with it!
Dissolve dry dose in bottle half filled with pure water -succuse 1-12 times (the more times the stronger it gets) and take a sip. And whe you are close to the bottom and you think that it still makes some good-add more pure water and mix. It will still get a bit stronger.
And PALM.

Again addition: remedies in water can be taken more often than dry without adverse effects BUT in case of crot-h and phosph taking it in glass is enough-when you have good reaction just wait-don't take it in bottle yet.

Thank you very much A
all times i am mentioning here are pacific times.
saturday evening i started with a dose of sal-ac. been taken according to your directions. a slight aggravation have happened, should i just waite for now to see what follows it, or should i take another dose of sal-ac or some other remedy?

Hello anon
Did you have slight aggravation after taking the first sip? When it passes take the next sip (mix only once, and let it be a very tiny sip)
Sal-ac is a very promising remedy (causation=flu and aspirin + symotoms=retinal hemorrhage + modalities=worse with cold and dark - all agree!) so STAY WITH IT for a while. After finishing that half glass let me know how you feel.
You may want to continue with it in a bottle (lasts longer).

Dear A
sal ac 30 c dose been taken sat. eve., a slight agg. had started which got worse later on. sunday midnight now, agg. has slowed down and has thus for caused more scarring especially in and around the center. ham had caused worst agg. of all, but it was not centered around and in the center.
this is the situation eight days after the dose. what should i be doing now?
Thanks

Hello anon,
Seems that you took sal-ac dry and it was too strong. Right? you took it dry?
I hate these aggravations-and I'm sure you hate them even more.
That's why it would be much better if you took a medicated pellet or tablet or whatever you have and dissolved it in half glass of water. Mix once. Take a small sip (or teaspoonful if you prefer). Watch your reaction. If any reaction-wait until it passes.If that reaction is aggravation and persist more than 3 days-discard the water with remedy.
If no reaction in 4 hours mix once again and take anothe sip.And so on until you take the whole half glass.
Now-if you took sal-ac dry take it now that way-in water. If you took it in water - try IN WATER-the next remedy CROTALUS-H. but please take it in half glass of pure water.
Please continue with rest and palming (megadoses of vit C are really recommendable for capillaries!)
I'm always here-never think that I might not answer your post. PALM.

it was a liquid dose of 30c sal ac. in water.

OK. hopefully crot-h will ameliorate (the point is at least to stop hemorrhage and absorb blood; later attaching back retina and bringing vision back to normal)
Think about vitamins (since you know them) when you palm.

Hello A
took sal ac 30c in water sat eve.
within few hrs there was a slight agg.
next day agg. got worse and kept on getting worse for a few days, then the agg. slowed down but was never completely gone.
a day before moving on to crot-h 30c dry dose in water there already was a bad agg.
monday midnight i started on crot-h, after about 10 hrs a mild agg. have been noticed.
i do not keep a diary, so cannot be too specific.
sometime it is difficult to say if it is happening due to the remedy or it was going to happen anyway.

Did you just drink the whole thing sat eve?
And the same was with crot.h I guess.
Well, nothing bad happened, I just was hoping that you avoid aggravation-but I'm not sure (as you aren't) that remedies do it.

sal ac liquid 30c was mixed with half a glass of filtered water and around 10ml of it was held in the mouth and in a few minutes it was swallowed. had it only in the liquid form.
sal ac agg. as i have said before was more in and around the center, which was little or more different than other remedies and the normal agg. that usually is there, resulted in much scarring in the left eye.
crot activity is more in the right eye.
remedies do cause agg. but sometimes like the bad agg.in the right eye eight days after the sal ac dose cannot be explained.
Thanks

So you had such an aggravation after only approx.10 ml sal-ac? you took it just once and the rest went down the drain?
try to take less than that of the remedy-the point of taking remedies in water is to avoid aggravations-that's why people start small and increase how much they take depending on reaction.You have to WATCH FOR YOUR REACTION. I realize it is all very difficult and would be easier if someone (who knows how to look!) did it for you.
and now after crot-h - also after the first sip you have some aggravation? (btw crot-h is mostly the right side remedy-you really can feel your eyes!)
Start small and increase until the glass is empty.
