Please help

My husband and I have both had health issues for quite some time I posted a couple days ago to see if there was anyone who could help us out and point us in the right direction for a remedy and was told to provide this information. Thank you s much whomever helps us! Our family will forever be in debt to you.

Smad01, Age 22, Female, Married, Stay at home mom to 7 month old son,150 Pounds, 5'7, United States, non-diabetic, lives in typical continental climate with cold winters and hot summers, no past surgeries or hospitalizations, no known allergies, unsure of current BP (but in the “normal” range), No childhood diseases.
Energy, has been experiencing the following symptoms for 6+ years: Fatigued. Very low energy. I need to have a minimum of 10 hours of sleep per night. If I get any less than 10 hours I become cranky and irritable. I am unable to complete simply daily tasks if I have not gotten adequate sleep. After 10+ hours I still feel tired throughout the day with most of the concentration being in my eyes, they feel weighted. During the evening hours I am unable to read. My eyes start to get blurry.
Sexual Desire: No sex drive, been experiencing since beginning of pregnancy (1 ½ years ago)
Skin, 6+ years: Generally unhealthy skin. Pale, Dry. Stretch Marks and cellulite in thighs and buttocks areas. Belly fat, flabby stomach skin area. I get razor bumps very easily.
Hair: 6+ years. Thin brittle hair. Breaks and splits easily
Fingernails: 6+ years: Brittle dry fingernails that split easily.
Toenails, 6+ years: Brittle discolored toenails Thick and rough, pieces break off front of toenail. Grey discoloration.
Circulation. 6+ years: Feet are always cold and feel empty.
Mind: Difficulty thinking. Feels like two weights are on both sides of my temples weighing my mind down. I have trouble coming up with an answer on the spot. I know what I want to say, but I usually don’t come up with it until hours afterward. I have a difficulty letting things go and am always bringing up problems from the past. I have have no trouble forgiving but forgetting is the problem. I tend to worry and get upset about other peoples problems. I get very nervous about many things. I tend to take mistakes that other people make and bring them up over and over. I tend to over think everything and am always thinking about something. I am forgetful, even though I think that I remember a lot. It seems to be some things I remember and some things I don’t. My husband says sometimes I think about things too much and then will imagine certain situations happened a different way. We'll get into arguments because I'll think we had a conversation go a certain way, but he thinks it went another. I'm also extremely impatient. I like predictability and get anxiety when things our out of my control. I don't mind change as long as I plan it.
Diet, been experiencing the following for 6+ years. Extreme unquenchable thirst (worse with pregnancy). I must drink at least 3 liters of water each day or I become restless and incontinent. It must be distilled water. If I drink regular tap water I find myself needing to drink an endless amount and am still feeling the restless and will start to get incontinent. I know that I need to go to the bathroom and will start to experience pain in the urethra area but most of the time I can't make it. The incontinence usually begins the day after I have skimped on water. I have a dry tongue. I also snack constantly throughout the day. If I am not eating something I become nervous. I am constantly preoccupied with food. I must have a large amount of sugary foods throughout the day or else I become panicked, irritable, and obsessed with the sugar and my cravings. When I eat fruits and vegetables I tend to feel more hungry afterward. I also crave a lot of breads, lasagna, meat, and salty chips. I have an particular craving for vinegary foods like salt and vinegar chips, mustard, Italian dressing, etc.
Back and Neck pain, experiencing for 6+ years. Entire back hurts. More in the upper end (shoulder area) and less in the lower back. Had an x-ray done of my neck and instead of the neck being curved backwards it is pointed forward. I have trouble turning my neck from side to side. I cannot stand and lift things for long periods of time. I also cannot generally stand for long periods of time whether or not I am holding an object. When I get sick the back and neck pain become debilitating. I usually get a pulsating headache along with the neck/back pain. The pain affects my daily life because I am unable to be as active as I want to be. I get exhausted from going up and down the stairs a few times. I also strain my relationship with my husband because I am unable to care for our son as much because of my pain and fatigue. I cannot hold him or carry him for more than a few minutes.

Relief/Triggers, Exercise creates some temporarily relief for fatigue and back pain. Lack of sleep is a huge trigger as well as contracting a cold. I experience my symptoms throughout the day and they are not better or worse during a specific time of day.

The reason I said 6+ years for most of the symptoms is because that is as far back as I can remember them being there. I feel stuck and unable to change and grow because I want to be a healthy, fit, active young woman and back and neck pain and fatigue keep me from doing that. I also envy people who are smart, witty, and kind. I know that that is who I am on the inside, but I just have a hard time getting it out.
I am positive that most of my issues stem from my childhood. My pregnancy just made them worse. My mother had epilepsy and we had an extremely low income. My father died when I was 8 years old and I from then basically had to raise myself on my own. She had/has a lot of personality issues that I notice I imitate and do the same things now. She would bring up mistakes that I had made and tell me over and over again what I could have done differently. If I did something wrong she wouldn't let me forget about it. As a child, I always felt smarter than her and that I knew what was best for myself because I was raising both me and her. I think this leads to a lot of fights with my husband because I tend to think I know whats best all the time. Aside from affecting me emotionally we were low income we basically lived off of highly processed foods from the food shelf. I remember one year I lived off of ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the whole year. Sometimes we wouldn't have food and I would go over to my friends and beg them to ask their parents to see if I could stay for dinner. I became obsessed with where my next meal was going to come from. When my mom occasionally did buy food I was so overwhelmed and would eat as much as I could right away. Nothing lasted. Now, I’m blessed to have a fridge full of food and I think I so often resume to that overwhelmed behavior I felt as a child.

Homeopathic Remedies in the past: A couple weeks ago I did a self diagnosis and started taking calcarea carbonicum 30c 5 pellets 3 times a day for 3 days. My thirst seemed to decrease a little.

Something I would like to know - describe more about thinking about things in the past.

What things, what kind of things?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thank you so much for replying.

I think I would have to say that the fatigue is the health problem that predoinates my thinking at present. It affects me because I am unable to do many things that I would like to do because my lack of energy. I would be able to ignore the back pain and other symptoms while caring for my son if I just had the energy to do it. When I have colds I think my fatigue level is around the same but I feel unable to want to do anything so it seems like alot more. Mentally I get very irritable and I just want to sit around or lay in bed untill my cold goes away.

brisbanehomoeopath, I tend to think about the some of the same things that I used to think about in the past. I think about what I'm going to do the next day, what people are going to say to me, what I fantasize them saying back to me. I play conversations with people over in my head hoping that they will go the same way (if we even have one). If a conversation ends up going different I'll play it over and over in my head and if I said something I wish I wouldnt have said, then I dwell on it. That's always been the same. Now since i'm married and have a baby I think alot about my husband and baby but then I always fantasize about what my life would be like if I hadn't met my husband, gottem married, and had our son, what I would be doing now and what my life would be like.

In the past I would think about who I was going to meet, the relationship we would have, winning the lottery, becoming a successful business owner, etc. I would come up with alot of fantasies and I still do. I suspect that comes from my childhood because I was always dreaming about being in a better place. Also, my dad died when I was 8 so I was always lacking in a father figure. I thought alot of who I was going to meet and our relationship together.

So what is the feeling of not winning the lottery, not being a successful business owner, not meeting that person you always thought you were going to meet?


What is the feeling of not being in that better place?

Right now, how would you describe your attitude or perhaps problem with food?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
brisbanehomoeopath,
I know that i'm probably never going to win the lottery and I feel content about that. The steps i'm taking now hopefully will get me to that sucessfull place that I want to be. I guess i'm always hoping that i'll be financially secure but if it never happens i'm still able to be very happy with my life as it is. It doesnt bother me that i'm not in that place, it just consumes alot of my time dreaming about it, but it doesnt affect my outlook on my daily life. I apologize if that doesnt make any sense.


Right now my attitude about food seems to be pretty good. My husband and I started a new diet where we took soy, gmo's out of out diet and try to eat mostly organic. I'm very content with it because we have enough food, and i'm able to eat enough to where i'm not hungry. I'm not contantly thinking about junk food and overeating because I cant have the junk food, and its not in the house. Food does still consume alot of my thoughts though but my attitude towards overeating has lessened.

Update,
I started taking the remedy on 6/25 as directed. I feel like my condition has improved but then I also wonder if that's because I consciously know that I'm taking something so I convince myself that its working.
My energy level, back pain, etc. Are all the same as before taking the remedy. As for my mind its still hard to think and carry on conversations and my mind wanders just as much. It still feels like there are two weights on the side of my head weighing my mind down but the weights don't quite feel as heavy. A bit of weight seems to be lifted off, not much, but it is still hard to think and my mind continues to feel weighted down.

Hi Dr. Yogesh, I took the remedy as directed. All my symptoms are the same as previously although i've been able to stay up later and get a bit less sleep and not be as miserable as before when I would do it.

I also noticed that its also harder for me to cope with things than before taking the remedy. I noticed this slightly when I took the first dose.When something is frustrating I shut down and snap at people. I have little to not patience for my son and get angry. The frustration is in my head and when I try to think I just become more frustrated and impatient.
 
smad01 last decade
I also want to thank you so much for helping me. I appreciate it more than you know.

I hated writing previously that I am unable to cope with my son. It makes me miserable to say that. I hope and pray that homeopathy will provide some relief. I strive to be a good mother, I want to be so badly- I have this weight on my mind that makes it so incredible hard to understand things.

I wonder if the following things could help with a diagnosis: I have an inability to care about other peoples emotions. This is heartbreaking because when my son gets hurt or my husband is upset I cant look at it from their point of view and fathom in the slightest why they could be upset.I also have a hard time being wrong. If I think something should go a certain way I do it regardless. I have been going to therapy and my psychologists believes that this is because I grew up raising myself and have never had to deal with anyone making decisions for me. True, but I activly want to change. I convince myself that I am going to change these things and then I 'forget' I believe its directly related to this mental block that I have.

I probably sound like a horrible self centered person and I hate that I am. If theres any other remedy you could reccomend I will jump on the chance. I need to be the person I need to be and I believe homeopathy is one of the only chances I have. Thank you Dr. Yogesh

Smad,
Take Sulph 200 single dose.
Wait for 3 days and report back.

Hi Dr. Yogesh,
I took the Sulph 200 as directed. I definately don't feel worse but only feel a slight improvement. When I drink things with caffeine in them I get alot of energy and I feel terrific (I try to rarely ever have caffeine though) my mind completely opens up, the weight comes off and I am able to think more clearly. I noticed while taken the Sulph 200 that I have little spurts of that caffeine feeling throughout the day, but it doesnt stay for long.

Hi Dr. Yogesh,
I know it hasnt been 3 days yet but i'm wondering if I should continue to take the remedy. My head hurts my head feels incredibly weighted down and foggy. I am supposed to have a project done by the end of today but I cannot sit down and concentrate on anything.
 
smad01 last decade
Hi again, I dont feel as bad as I did yesterday. Yesterday my condition seemed worse than usual, today I feel about the same as I have always felt. Although, I have noticed that after taken the remedies I am able to get less sleep and not feel as irritible. I still need the same amount of sleep (12 hours) but I am able to sleep that in increments and not get incredibly crabby inbetween sleep.

Sorry to bother you again, I was just wondering if there was a remedy you know of that I could take to help with sexual desire?

My husband and I's relationship has been suffering so much since I became pregnant because my sexual desire has decreased completely. It's at the point where I am not interested in being the slightest bit intimate with my husband anymore and intimacy was a huge part of our relationship before I became pregnant. We thought it could be because my energy levels are so low and I am breastfeeding and my husband wants me to stop once our son is 1 year old (in two months). I really would like to continue breastfeeding longer but my husband and I havent had an intimate relationship in almost 2 years.
 
smad01 last decade
Smad,
What do you feel about your husband and sex with him?
Regards,
Dr. Yogesh
 
yogeshrajurkar last decade
I feel no intimacy. I cannot concentrate when we try to have sex and my mind is always wandering to other things (I think about what I did that day, about paying bills, about our son, etc. anything to take my mind off sex) When I think about having sex I get anxious that it is going to be painfull. I almost feel disgust when thinking about sex. It ends up being painfull because I cannot focus and I am very dry when we try to do it.
When we do I have sex I am unable to achieve orgasm vaginally and have to masturbate afterwards. The only way I have ever been able to achieve orgasm is through masturbation.
I love my husband but i'm not able to feel any type of intimacy towards him. I don't enjoy cuddling or kissing (something that we really enjoyed before I became pregnant).
My husband is so miserable because of it, I so badly want this piece of our relationship back because It causes so much stress.
