Ulcerative Colitis/Allergies/Insomnia

Hello,

Over the last couple of years I have suffered increasingly bad allergy symptoms, mainly to food. In the past I have been a fairly frequent drug user (most types), but not for the last few years. I have a good job and live alone.

Within the last few years I have radically changed my diet (through neccesity) and have stopped smoking and drinking. Recently I have had a sigmoidoscopy which has pointed to UC/Chrons (I am waiting for biopsy results to say which).

I also suffer badly from insomnia over the past 18 months. I have seen a homeopath who initially gave sulphur and nux, which I showed some immediate improvement from, but which then dissapeared. I have been taking nux (6c 3x daily) for a while also. My sleep of late had improved quite a lot. I am taking 2mg of diazepam a day at present (reducing at 0.5mg/week).

I recently saw the homeopath again and merc cur 13c was given to be taken 3x per week. I have also stopped taking the nux. I have now started to get terrible insomnia, to the point where I cannot work. I know diazepam withdrwal can cause imsomnia, but this last bout has coincided exactly with starting merc cur for my intestinal issues.

I also get very tense and when I am so tired dislike almost everything. Another odd symptom is a tingling sensation in my scalp. Does nux (6c) sound like a good thing for me? It seems to help, other potencies do not seem to help. Does anyone have any advice on other possible remedies - mainly for the sleep!

Thanks.
