Sometimes he feels a little better after the stool but not always. These 'attacks' started about 3 months ago. A month later (2 months ago) he had a blood clot in his leg and was diagnosed with Factor V blood-clotting disorder and was started on blood-thinners. It all was a shock to him. Other symptoms he started experiencing were chest pains, getting tired easily even from a little walk, high anxiety, feeling down, fear for his well-being, etc.

He usually feels very anxious and stressed around people. Also he has a lot of fears especially about his health. He is afraid of not ever feeling well again. He is afraid of having deadly desease. These fears are especially strong now after he was diagnosed with the blood disorder. His date of birth is 05/28/1989. He feels gloomy on gloomy days.

Because he has a bad case of OCD/anxiety, it has a huge affect on him. He pretty much lives in constant stress and various fears. He dosn't socialize, it difficult for him to go anywhere. His biggest fear is any illness or disability. He likes sweets and meat, he is not a big fan of potato and soft eggs. His stomach 'attacks' are unpredictable, they don't seem to be triggered by food. But when he doen't feel good he is afraid to eat.

Especially when he doesn't feel good, he says things like his body is giving up on him and he might never feel better and his life is over and there is nothing to hope for. He is very aware that he has severe mental problems and cannot do anything about them. He is also aware of the expectations from a young men and feels bad that he is not capable of much. As far as his anxiety, he feels very anxious and stressed most of the time. As far as his digestive problems, these attacks can happen any time (mornings, noons, evenings, late evenings), he might wake up in the morning already not feeling well, or he might be 'ok' until noon and then start feeling sick. His father has anxiety problem as well but less severe. I had digestive problems years ago in school.

He has tried a few remedies for his OCD awhile ago, they are captured under our old thread http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/117485/.

He might feel angry/irritated that he doesn't feel well or for being too crazy and not being able to do what other people could do (work, have friends, be independent). So far we haven't found anything that would stop/ease his digestive 'attacks' or his anxiety. I am not sure what to say about his will. He wants to get better and was willing to even fast in the past for a number of days even though it was not a pleasant experience for him. He has social anxiety as well (no friends, doesn't talk to anybody).

Thank you! Are there any rules we need to follow while taking this medicine? Can it be given any time without any dietary or other restrictions?

One more thing I forgot to ask. Can it be either teaspoon or tablespoon? And can the spoon be metal or it has to be plastic?

Hello, just wanted to provide some new information. While waiting for the remedy to arrive my son started experiencing somewhat different symptoms. What's bothering him the most now is the chest pain on the left. The faint feeling, extreme tiredness, some digestive discomfort and anxiety are still there. The anxiety is to the point that he is sleeping in my room now and wants to go to ER every evening. With these changes in his symptoms I wanted to confirm that I still should go ahead with 1 dose of Lachesis 1M as soon as we receive it. Thanks!

Hello, just wanted to give an update even though it hasn't been 2 weeks yet (the dose was taken on 03/21). My son took one dose (1 tablespoon from a glass of spring water with 2 pellets dissolved) of Lachesis 1M. His symptoms are really wide spread (faintness, dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, headaches, nausea, digestive issues, aches in the body, extreme fatigue, etc. He has done a bunch of tests: blood tests, MRI, CT-Scans, ultrasounds, x-rays. So far the blood-clot with Factor V blood-clotting disorder is the only thing that was found. My son's grandmother has neurocirculatory asthenia. Her symptoms are somewhat similar to my son's symptoms. So far after taking the dose I don't see any changes, But I'll report back on Wednesday (it will be two weeks). Thanks!

Hello, it's been two weeks since the dose. It doesn't seem like my son is feeling any better. I'd appreciate if you could let me know what our next step should be. Thanks!

My son had a strong chest pain and was afraid that he was having a heart attack and could die. His fear of dying was very strong so that he was sleeping in my room. We actually went to various doctors with all his symptoms, but each specialist just picks some of the symptoms relevant to him/her and none of them could address a whole thing.
