Well it does sound like an aggravation - a sudden worsening of your symptoms soon after the dose.
Dry pillules will cause larger aggravations when they happen, will cause those aggravations to last much longer, and on their own cannot be adjusted in any way to deal with such reactions. They must be dissolved into water so that they can be divided into smaller doses to avoid this (thus they are 'split').
The other problem with them is that you develop resistance to subsequent doses when they are dry, as they cannot be altered in that form. Pillules become less effective the more you use them. Dissolving them in water allows the medicine to be increased in potency through succussion (striking the bottle) or stirring. Water is the key, it's unique nature is what allows homoeopathy to heal.

How will I know when it has stopped working?
I started off getting a severe headache and neck pain that lasted for most of the week. I have also experienced odd pains in my hands and ankles. I then got severe shoulder pain. I couldn't think of anything I had done to trigger such a strong reaction so I have been inclined to think it is a past problem that has surfaced. I did have exactly this type of pain at least 10 years ago and I had to have cortisone shots. It is getting better now.
The vibrations have not bothered me for a little while but returned yesterday. My blocked nose comes and goes but is generally better than it used to be. i feel like it might be working through the problem. However with all these pains I have nt experienced a feeling of well being like before and I am worried about getting worse pains with future doses.

update - I have been feeling good, no more headaches, few vibrations, blocked nose giving me small amounts of discharge which I take as an improvement but things finally seemed to have ground to a halt so I took another dose of 30c. It doesn't seem to be doing anything, should I try the 200c? I have been happy with the choice of remedy I felt like I was making progress but I am worried about the intensity of the aggravation that I had. Would it likely be better or worse with a higher dose?

I took it 2 days ago in a split dose. I may have jumped the gun though, I woke with another splitting headache this morning - another aggravation? Of course it could be from something else but it is the same kind of headache as before.

The dose needs to be adjusted, because you keep getting strong aggravations. Next time we need to address that.
Now that you have repeated the 30c you need to wait at least a week to assess what it does.

There is definitely nothing happening now. My nose is feeling blocked and my headaches are starting to come back, the first for a while this morning when I woke.

I'm concerned about having more aggravations, what do I do if it gets bad again?
Yes, I already have the 200C.

Aggravation is controlled by dilution and the number of succussions. How much water did you use last time to dilute the dose in?
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
You need to measure it. Knowing how much water you used, and therefore how much to adjust it by, is crucial to controlling aggravation.
I cannot see where I have altered the amount of water from the first suggestion, so you should have been doing 1/4 of a cup (62mls). To decrease aggravation I would move to 1/2 cup or 3/4 cup.

I took a dose on Sunday evening in 3/4 cup of water. (I always use the same cup for dosing as it is glass and easy to judge the amount, I was mistaken when I said I had used 4 fl oz. I was trying to guess the amount from looking at my water bottle, it's actually about half of that.) So I have tripled the amount of water and at first I had no problem but I got the headache today, quite bad, 3 days later. Is this possible or is it something else? I felt just a little better on Monday morning but haven't noticed any further improvement.

Definitely nothing happening. I couldn't really say for sure that I noticed any further change of any kind.

Well that elminates the remedy as the correct one. The initial effect must have been palliative.
I will revisit the case.

I think we might be talking at coss purposes here. I haven't yet tried the 200c, I was just stating that I don't think the 30c is working any longer, I wasn't going to take it until you said so in case it was just too soon. So having clarified that, should I take the 200c or are we starting over?
Thanks David and sorry for the mix up.

I took the 200c, I didn't get much of a reaction at first but after a couple of days it seemed that I was feeling better, my head felt clearer and I hadn't woken from any vibrations. I was quite happy just to wait and see assuming this was going to be a slow progression. A week or so after that I developed some serious stomach bloating and then started getting cramp like pains in my lower abdomen. I am still having some problems with this. Could this be an aggravation? I have checked out Causticum and it does refer to bloating. If so is there anything I can do or will it just go away on it's own? I have had it for 2 weeks now.
