There isn't enough information there to prescribe a spider remedy on. Looking or acting like a particular animal isn't how we decide on the remedy. You must display the unique qualities and survival mechanisms associated with the animal. It's actually quite hard to work out - I have been using that method of prescribing for years now and I STILL find it a challenge.

On top of that, it is rare to see people in the same family needing the same remedy. I have never seen it in 20 years of practice. Sometimes the same group, though even then that is highly unusual. It seems to me that although a similar issue may all be important to all family members, each one has a highly individual way of perceiving and reacting to it. You can get Plant, Mineral, and Animal remedies all in the same family.

I couldn't give any advice here without a proper case. Do you need an animal remedy? Do you specifically need an Insect remedy? Is your miasm Tubercular? Do you show the particular survival mechanisms of the Orange Spider?

I wouldn't feel comfortable suggesting anything without seeing the case first. However I am more than happy to look over your case and see what I can see, if you like.

Ok so you understand the process then. It is quite a bit of work, and Sensation works better in person than over an internet forum like this. In person I can use gesture, body language, tone of voice, appearance and other things to help. Here I am dependent on words alone.

So case-taking takes longer, with a lot of questons and descriptions needed. If you are willing, you can fill out my intake form.

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION

It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.

1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?

Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR HEALTH BY PROVIDING ALL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, EVEN IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN ONE, AND EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER IT OF LESS IMPORTANCE.

You should address each problem separately using the above 7 questions as a guide. Do not put all your complaints into each of the 7 questions. Discuss one problem at a time. If you have, for example, a headache with nausea, do each component separately too (what makes the head pain worse or better, what makes the nausea worse or better).

As well as this, please describe any traumatic incidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.

Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.

Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.

Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow, especially where this occurred around the beginning of your disease, or as the disease evolved.

Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.

If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:

1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
8. Describe your menstrual cycle

9. Also give these details

a) Body type and build
b) Skin colour and texture
c) Areas of the body tends to perspire on
d) Odour of sweat, body, stool, flatus, urine
e) Colour of stool, urine, sweat

10. Give any reactions to vaccines or medical drugs.

This case is not Sulphur, not as far as I can tell. It has a number of unusual features I need to understand better.

Be careful self-prescribing. Sulphur, any remedy in fact, can cause serious side effects some of which can be difficult to cure.

It is also important that you do not talk about remedies, miasms, or any of those things homoeopaths use to classify or diagnose. It corrupts your own natural expression and makes it harder for me to work out what you really need.

Please expand on the following words, statements, expressions.

The one with the most priority needs to be this one

VERTICAL WAVES GOING UP

Then try these ones next:


Taking on other people's pain

Wrapped up

Energy

No barrier

Stuff landing on me

Being the only one to have these problems (acne, white hair)

Abuse

Neglect

High strung

Stops me in my tracks

Have to live near the ocean

Limited socially

Not good enough

Try to hide

Show weakness

Energy field is going weak

Icy skin

Music goes right through

Excellent work.

Always remember that when I am asking you to describe a phrase or word, I am firstly asking for the meaning of it, then the sensation or experience of it, rather than the story of your life where it happens. Giving examples where it happened is ok, but it is still 'what' happens that is important rather than 'why'. Make sure you keep this in mind for the next list of words.

There is some very good stuff here. Can you describe a little more on :

Invasion

Vibration

Everything has to be done fast

Limited

Invisible

Attack


Also, can you describe more on this process

'Something lands on me, then invades me, moves through me, down my neck my spine, my arm...'

So what happens when something invades a body? When something gets inside, what happens once it is in there?

And talk about invasion in a general way too, not just specifically in regards to you. When something invades something else, what happens? What happens to the invader, what happens to the one being invaded?

This is such good stuff. You have done very well, you have done everything I asked (without complaint), and I believe that I can see what you are describing.

Tell me, when you think of something that invades, goes underneath your protective barrier, and slowly spreads to all parts of your body, until only it lives there - what comes to mind?

Actually a couple more questions too.

Describe more on the concept of a 'parasite'.

Expand on the description you gave 'wrapped up in thin string or wiring...gets all over me, I am gridded...I feel enclosed.' Give me some images or other ideas for that.
