Please stay out of other people's posts. I am not interested in hearing about your situation anymore and butting in to other people's cases just to get your desperate need for attention fulfilled will only create ill feeling amongst the people who are *genuinely* seeking help.

Hello Dr David
It has been many days since you have prescribed me Medusa 200 but I'm afraid I have not been able to get this remedy till now.
I looked for this remedy in many pharmacies but it was not available.
I know I might sound foolish but is there any other remedy that can be substituted for Medusa or another remedy having similar indications? If yes then please suggest.
Anyways, I have come to know about one pharmacy that is somewhat far away but keeps rare remedies. I don't know if Medusa will we available there or not but I will surely make a visit to it in this week.

It is difficult to replace one remedy with another. However, looking at it from another perspective, there is a possibility that Calc-sil may be suitable.
Get Calc-sil 200c instead.

I have got Calc-sil 200c. I have got Calcarea Silicicum and not Calcarea Silicata. The pharmacist said they both are same.
Now please guide me about the dosage. Do I have to take it in the same way as before - one drop in cup of water?

Yes, although reduce the water to only 1/4 cup. Take one dose a day for up to 3 days, stopping the moment you feel any symptom worsen, or any old symptoms reappear.

I took Calc-Sil 200c one dose a day up to 3 days as you advised. It has been 6 days since I have taken the remedy.
As for now overall physical and mental state is more or less same.
About aggravations, since yesterday and especially today I am feeling sudden increase in intensity of acid reflux problem. There is an unusually increased burning with some pain in esophagus and sometimes during burping it feels as if vomit comes up in my throat.
I am unsure if its an aggravation from calc-sil or not. Is it possible to get an aggravation after 5 days? Isn't it necessary that first the mental symptoms improve then the aggravations occur.
I think I should wait more to see what happens. Please guide me on what to do further.

No there should not be any improvement before there is aggravation.
Aggravation can happen anytime within the first 3-5 days of the last dose taken.
Improvement always has to follow aggravation to be movement in the right direction.
Obviously I was less confident with this choice, but that fact that something has happened still could show the remedy has some usefulness.

Ok, so meanwhile we are noticing the effect of Calc-Sil, do you still want me to get hold of Medusa 200?
I can make a last try for it at few pharmacies that deal with rare medicines.

Wait a bit longer. I will reassess after the Calc-sil has finished what it is doing.

It has been 10 more days since I reported you the symptoms I was getting after taking calc-sil 200.
The symptoms that I told you continued for few days and then I got fever for 2-3 days with very severe tension-type headaches. I was again suspecting it to be from Calc-sil. But the fever and the symptoms went away and since then I have not noticed any improvement or worsening in any of the symptom. So I think it was probably due to some kind of an infection or something that was creating all this.
Some things that are happening since past many days that may or may not be linked with calc-sil are:
-very low appetite especially at night
-waking multiple times during sleep at night
-returning of the catarrhal symptoms of throat that were earlier corrected by silicea
Other major physical problems are same as before.
Please advice further.

I am waiting for you to analyse my case again.
Anyways I want to suggest my opinion. I strongly feel that my remedy must be from Natrum group or may be Natrum Mur.
I am copying down some indications of Natrum group which I feel are strongly indicated for me.
-general state of mental depression and gloominess
-It seems as if they almost delight in making themselves and others miserable by looking on the dark side and their alternating gaiety and gloom
-Natrum has the feeling of being incomplete. This dictates the need to find a supportive relationship.
-The Natrum person does not need many but just one and is therefore very much dependent on that one relationship, without which she feels very isolated and, therefore, very insecure. It is this tremendous need and dependence on that relationship that makes the Natrum patient very vulnerable to hurt. Out of this vulnerability he develops a fear of people and tries to avoid contact.
-They respond with great sensitivity, especially to the feelings of others and also on what others say and think about them
-being closed and alone; restriction, denial and prohibition; sensitive and vulnerable and; inclination to withdraw
-They are glum, melancholic and pessimistic
-They keep their problems inside; they are closed and do not feel like talking about it and thus carry the burden of their sadness alone
-They hide their grief from the outside world
-They feel that they have lost the faith that things could become all right again and will not put any effort into regaining what they had lost
-they are so sensitive that they feel hurt by the slightest comment or gesture that might imply ridicule or rejection
-Natrum-mur adolescents are reluctant to date for fear of rejection
-they become introverts and turn to emotionally safe activities like books and music etc. Thus they become quite content in their isolation; self-contained, trying to solve their problems by themselves
-The main feeling is of being betrayed /disappointed by the person with whom he /she seeks a relationship.
-Difficult to make them express their feelings but once they open up, then there is a flood of grief.
-Sensitive, romantic, can be passionate with much desire for music.
-They have a fear of being hurt, disappointed and hence are reserved.
-There is a bitter feeling, tremendous anger, irritability, hatred and malice. Dwells on past disagreeable occurrences
-silent and one-sided love
-a feeling of being all alone in the world
So, I think that I should try a remedy from Natrum group may be Natrum Mur or some other. But I will not take it if you do not agree for this. Do you think I belong to Natrum group? Can I try a remedy from Natrum group?

It is always a danger when a patient begins quoting from the materia medica. If you need a remedy that looks like Nat-mur, it is now unable to be seen because you have identified with the picture of Nat-mur.
However, there are still strong indications for it, and as I do with students when they come in with their own ideas, I am happy to allow them to take the remedy.
Jan Scholten said something in a seminar that always stuck with me. There are two things that will happen when a patient requests a particular remedy. It will cure them, or it will cure their belief that they need it. Either way, it is a positive result.
If you wish, take a single dose of Nat-mur 200, as a split dose (diluted the way I have instructed for the previous remedy). I will keep thinking about other directions we can go.
