For the first 3 days I hardly noticed anything. My stuffed up nose was sometimes slightly better and sometimes worse and I had occasional twinges of pain in my head which moved around. On the 5th day I developed ear ache in my right ear, it was not severe but uncomfortable and spread across my cheek bone. The following day I woke to the vibrations and although they were not so bad I still developed a headache which lasted all day. I still had the ear ache as well. At the end of the day I also had nausea which may have been from the headache. It is all improved this morning but not gone altogether.
I am not really sure how this works having never taken a higher dose than 30 before. What can I expect? Can it cycle through old diseases like a constitutional remedy or just those specific to the remedy?

An aggravation can happen any time within the first 3-5 days. Typically it starts by the third and peaks by the 5th. After that things will improve again. It sounds like that has been the way it has happened here.
I have chosen this remedy as your constitutional so it should do deep work.
If this was a healing crisis, then things should continue to get better from this point.

For the last 3 days I have been feeling the vibrations as soon as I lay down in bed at night, usually I don't notice them until the morning. There has been no other change to my ear/nose problems, yesterday though I developed a pain in my right shoulder. I had this problem a year ago. I had forgotten all about it. Does this mean we are still on track? Do I need to do anything more?

Can you list all the symptoms you originally presented with, and next to each one put Better, Worse, Same or Gone. Also if better or worse, put a score or a percentage to represent how much.
It is imporant at this point to do an overall assessment to see if we are on the right track.

dry blocked nose - better 30% (was a lot better but has got worse the last 2 days)
cheek pain - better 70%
dry throat - better 80%
right ear pain - better 80%
headache in general - better 60%
headache at back of neck in morning - better 35%
vibrations - better 20%
tinnitus - worse 10%
noises - worse 10%
It seemed to me that I was doing better a week or so ago and I was realy quite surprised at the overall positive picture that still presents as I felt that maybe it was wearing off. The noises do seem a bit louder than before as does the tinnitus. It's possible that the tinnitus seems worse because I have been keeping aware of changes whereas tinnitus usually improves if I am able to forget about it. The blocked nose has got quite a bit worse in the last few days.

Ok interesting. A lot of improvements overall, but the actually reason I prescribed that specific remedy is slightly worse.
This implies direction of cure is at work.
Which are your oldest symptoms?

♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
oldest symptom is the hearing problems/earache followed by the tinnitus. Newest symptom would be the vibrations.
winnieandco last decade
Yes that is direction of cure - newest symptoms tend to cure before the older ones.
Ok that confirms that the prescription is still appropriate. Most likely we have an issue with potency and/or dosage.
It has now been about 12 days since the last dose of 200c, so I would suggest retaking that now and see if we can move things along further.

I took the 200c on Sunday night. This morning I woke with a headache and stiff neck and my back was tense and achy as I had been picking up the vibrations whilst asleep. I also had some pain in my right ear. The headache is now just a slight dull ache and the ear I get occasional twinges. The only other change has been that on Tuesday my nose was running slightly for most of the day but the following day that had stopped.

vibrations have been less severe until this morning when they became worse again. Alternating between blocked nose and clear, sometimes alternating sides too. Have been having sharp stabbing pains on top and back of head, very short and sudden, then they are gone. Also still having pain in right ear.
winnieandco last decade
Can you go through all the symptoms you mentioned in your first post (and I do mean all of them even the little ones). Next to each one write better, worse, same or gone. If better or worse, write a percentage or score to represent how much.
This will allow me to assess what kind of progress we are making on Theridion.

Hmmm....ok this is interesting. The only symptom that is worse is a craving (not unusual during treatment) and many things are better. Some things are unchanged, one of those being the anxiety which is high up in the hierarchy so that is concerning to me.
The symptoms that remain unchanged become the primary focus for finding a new remedy (if needed)or help me to refine how we can get more out of the current remedy. So can you just repeat or give more information on the following.
Tinnitus
Restless sleep
Anxiety
There is actually a separate group of remedies for this 'picking up of vibrations' - still in the same big group but part of a smaller quite distinct group.
Seeing as how I am going to still focus on the vibrations as the main way of finding the remedy, can you give me a little more on that idea of 'picking up vibrations', especially during sleep.
I just want to see if anything new mentioned.

Tinnitus : Started in my left ear but later affected my right ear also. Currently my right ear is the worst. The sound is like chirping birds or squeaking. It gets worse when I am tired or stressed, less noticeable when I am occupied like at work, shopping or watching t.v. Sometimes I go for days without noticing it, although it probably does not actually go away.
Sleep: Most nights I wake up once or twice. Usually I wake about an hour after going to sleep and have to get up for the bathroom. I often wake up around 4 am. Sometimes having difficulty getting back to sleep, remaining awake until it is almost time to get up then dosing off and waking unrefreshed. I change position several times during the night even on a night when I sleep well, I know this because of the state of my hair in the morning. If I hear music during the evening this will likely run through my head all night and often stop me from getting off to sleep at all. It is actually better than it was a year or so ago when I had trouble getting to sleep and would toss and turn constantly. It is always worse on a Sunday night having to go back to work the next day. I have remembered that at least part of my recurring dreams involve elevators or escalators or stairs. With the elevator I am simply getting in or leaving but it is always a large dirty service type elevator. With the escalator I am going up but the top is blocked off and I have to climb out.
Anxiety: I worry about something happening to my family members, but especially my husband. I get anxious if he is late home. I worry about our future, (as do so many people these days). I get very upset at hearing about injustices, about greed and corruption. I feel powerless and frustrated. I have to make a conscious effort to shut it out.
Vibrations: I only get them when lying down, if I sit up I cannot feel them any more. It is as if the ground beneath my bed is shaking. The vibration transfers to my bones. Im sure the vibrations are real its just that I shouldnt be able to feel them the way I do. I have assumed it is like when you have a bad sinus infection and every step you take reverberates through your body. I dont feel anything early in the night so either it is something that fluctuates like traffic noise or something on a sensor or else it has to build up in my body before it bothers me. Often I can feel it when I wake at 4, almost always I can feel it by 6am. Sometimes when I sleep through I will wake very tense and with a pain in the back of my neck which spreads upwards giving me a headache and then the vibrations are very dominant. When I sit up they are gone although the headache will last a while longer. I have only had one episode that was bad enough to give me a headache in the last couple of weeks.
Cold feet: worse 50%. I missed this off my last post. The last couple of days my feet have been much colder than recently, especially at night in bed. They feel warm to touch but actually ache from feeling cold.
I remember this happening a little while ago and then going away again, this would roughly coincide with just before we moved up to 200c.

I took a dose on Friday evening. had vibrations and dull headache on Saturday am. Sunday morning had more vibrations and worse headache. Headache lasted all day until 3am Monday. Couldn't sleep for noise Sunday night, it seemed like there was a continual humming sound like a car engine idling. My husband says there was no noise and that I am imagining it. It doesn't feel quite the same as my other tinnitus though which I can clearly tell is inside my head.
winnieandco last decade
a week later and the vibrations are just as bad. No improvement anywhere. Could this remedy be too strong for me?
winnieandco last decade
It appears the Theridion has gone as far as it is able. I will work on a new remedy choice for you.
