Ok one thing you need to understand about healing, and especially the sort of natural healing that homoeopathy provokes, is that your internal symptoms (disease) will move outwards towards the skin. This is normal, expected, and beneficial to you, despite whatever feelings or social issues that creates.
With the obvious improvements in many areas from the remedy, and the aggravation on the skin, I would judge that we are on the right track. When your internal disease has quietened the skin will also calm down.
Direction of Cure helps us to understand when a remedy should be stuck with, or when it should be changed. Many times practitioners lose confidence in their remedies, or are not observant enough, and change a remedy far too soon thereby cutting their patients off from cure.
Let me look at what has changed versus what has not.
Significant improvement:
Daily pain
Pain running down hips and legs
Lower back pain
Stabbing pain
Bloated stomach
Pain during intercourse
Worsening of pain day after intercourse
Sensation of back breaking
Aching of body
Fear of infertility
Need for painkillers
Feeling heart will pop out
Fear of suffering
Poor self image regarding nose
Aching of body during sleep
Waking easily
Depression in cold weather
Too weak to look after son
Prolonged bleeding
Loose stool during menses
Hard on self if something goes wrong
Lose temper easily
Slight improvement:
Breast tenderness
Pressure around uterus ovaries
Nausea
Aggravation on waking
Craving mineral water, orange juice
Bleeding of haemorrhoids
No improvement:
Fatigue (except in regards to caring for son)
Constant worrying
Anxiety about son
Blocked nose on sleeping on left side
General fearfulness
Indecisiveness
Crave chocolate, fats, sugar, hot food
Tired from dreaming
Overworked
Laziness
Sensitive to being put down
Averse social gatherings
Not fitting in
Desire to remain at home
Clotting in menstrual flow
So improvement is across the board, no level is showing as unaffected. Specific symptoms within each level are still unchanged, but that is often the case after only one dose.
I would suggest waiting one more week, just to make sure there is no further change. After that we can look at a repeat dose of the remedy. Overall I am happy though the remedy seems well selected.

I think there has been an improvement too, especially
I think I'm ovulating today, feeling a bit fatigue and tender around the hips/legs..just feel lethargic and woke up with an increase of back pain and a blocked nose. Back has gotten a better after moving around. Ovaries are feeling okay for now though. Perhaps even the increase of pimples is from the ovulation.
Will see how I go
Will wait a week and repeat the dose with your guidance.

Hi David, I think my ovulation has passed. It was a lot better than other months. I still felt some discomfort and on Friday I felt that feeling you get when your period wants to come, but I didn't have any pain around the ovaries. Just some pressure around the uterus. On the weekend though, I had a lot of upper back pain and neck pain. I had to go see my chiro as it was unbearable. I've still got a lot of back pain today though and my teeth hurt which is bizarre for me.
My chiro wants me to have an X-ray on my back, just to make sure its not anything else.
I'm feeling really lazy today, could also be from the lack of sleep.

It is most likely still the effect of the remedy (indirectly). I would not worry too much as the cleaning up of symptoms can persist for weeks or even months after a dose.
If at any point you get stuck we can look at redosing, changing the potency, or changing the remedy.

When do you suggest I could take another dose? I did also purchase the 1m
My skin has cleared up a bit too

Next dose would be taken when there is either
1. clear relapse of symptoms
2. no further improvement showing
Because of the back symptoms we need to wait to see if they stick or if they resolve on their own.
A single dose of the simillimum can work for months so it is important not to be too impatient with it.

Okay I'll try to hang on.
I'm feeling even worse at the moment though. My back and almost whole body is feeling achy and sore. My mood is really low, sluggish and lazy. My teeth Are just so sore too.
My nose has also been getting quite congested at nights too, so my sleeps are disturbed. It's raining in Sydney too and I am feeling like the weather, sad and gloomy.

Oh ok that is a reason not to wait. I didn't realise you felt that bad.
Repeat the dose exactly as before, since you didn't seem to aggravate too much.

Thanks David, I think today has been my worse day since the last time I took the remedy. Most of the time I get better through out the day, where as today I seem to be getting worse.
I'll take dose and go from there

I get so confuse sometimes if it's endo pain or ovulation

Hi David,
I woke up last night with a really blocked left nostril and a sore throat. I took some difflam for my throat, is that okay? Or does that interfee with the medicine cause it has peppermint?
Also not sure if it's related but I was feeling really itchy a lot yesterday.
My teeth ache has gone and I have overall been feeling better, not so achy.
However, just feeling agitated a lot with my son, for some reason i feel angry and have no patience with him. And this morning my hamerroids bled.
That's my update.

It is better not to suppress your symptoms with orthodox medicine, as a general rule, unless your health is being threatened in some way.
Did you take the remedy?

Yes I took it on Monday
What should I do now since I took the difflam this morning? Will I need to take another dose or will it be okay?

No there is no predicting what the medical suppression might do, so no point in over-reacting to it.
This may be an aggravation you are experiencing, so it is important to allow it to have space to do what it wants to do.

Hi David,
My throat is really hurting me this morning and my ear a little too. I'm losing my voice a bit too. Is there anything I can take? Don't want it to get worse than it is already

Gargle with salt water, take vitamin C. Those things are safe enough.
Is this an old symptom for you? Are people around you getting the same symptoms?
The difflam is just pain relief - it won't stop the illness progressing.
If you are in danger, it is always best to see a doctor, although I can pretty much say they will give antibiotics which will definitely suppress the symptoms (drive them deeper in).

I have gotten it a couple of times this year whilst being on homeopath. When that happen though, i had to change remedies to Merc Sol.
Not sure if It's an aggravation or if i got it from my son. Perhaps that is why he has a dry cough.
I'm doing the salt water and vitamin C, hope that will be enough. Really don't want to go doctors, I hate antibiotics. Does not agree with me.I'll see how I go

If things get really difficult let me know. I prefer not to interfere with remedy reactions by using other remedies, but if you have developed a true acute then we must use the right remedy for that. I don't want you going on antibiotics either.

Hi David, I woke up really achy today, my nose also really stuffy...i think from the weather andnalso had a little thrush...but the thrush sorta went away...which is weird. But just now I have got brown discharge and my period is not due to the 24th, so 3 days early.

Give it time, many of the symptoms will take awhile to fully resolve. Homoeopathy has a very long-term view of things so what we are hoping for is that your vital force, now working better, is busily correcting all the little problems.
