The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Possible Fibromyalgia?
Hi,I could greatly use some help with this. I'm a 20 y/o male and have had headaches, aching joints, back pain, anxiety, depression etc for many years.
The best way I can sum it up is.. When I wake up in the morning my back and neck are very stiff and sore, I have to stretch and pop the bones in my neck and back to help the pain. The stiffness and pain doesn't subside all day. I'm continuously stretching in all angles to loosen my muscles up and pop the bones to release pressure.
It can be a sharp pain or dull pain. Headaches are usually quite dull. Chiropractor a while back said my muscles are very tense all over.
I also have depression and anxiety due to various causes. Many issues of the past contribute to it. I worry easily. No crying, just gloomy, feeling bad mentally.
Also have an essential/intention tremor in my hands when I'm doing a fine tune task, or holding something at a specific angle. Sometimes my head has small tremors as well.
Hm I'm not sure what else you may need to know, as I'm new to this, but please I'd greatly appreciate help with it.. if anything else needs to be added please let me know. Thank you

Dear psalmthirteen,
1) Take two doses of Podophyllum 200 in the morning and Night.
2) Take one dose of Ars. Alb. 200 in the afternoon.
3) Repeat 1 and 2 for three days.
Example:
Day 1 Morning : 1st dose of Podophyllum 200
Day 1 afternoon: 1 dose of Ars. Alb 200.
Day 1 Night : 2nd dose of Podophyllum 200
One dose means
The medicine is in liquid dilution form, add 3-4 drops in three sips of mineral water. mix with a spoon and sip up slowly.
Please follow homeopathy restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, and no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
Do update me your progress on daily bases. Stop other medicine (if it is not an emergency).
Regards,
Nikkie.

Nikkie,
Thank you again. Out of curiosity, what symptoms of mine do you feel matches the podophyllum remedy?
Just curious as I couldn't find a lot of information on it, and it almost looked like a digestive system remedy, but I rarely have digestive issues.

Hi Zahid,
Thanks for your response. I will look into that. Something that caught my attention is Sulphur as I have a slight slouched posture near neck/shoulder. I bad posture and heavy computer usage for many years, which may also tie into all of this.
