Dear Dr.Kadwa ,
Thankyou verymuch for your response.I didn't take Pulsatilla before ,I will do it now.
Also wanted to let you know after I posted my previous thread I went for my physical and learnd vitamin D deficiency (everything else is good) . I had been taking my vitamins and fish oil regularly and vitamin D levels are good now .
I also refined some of the answers for my questions as some of the symptoms effected by vitamin D are no longer there.

Please don't take any other remedies for 2 days. You may take these when Pulsatilla is done.

Dear Dr.Kadwa ,
I took pulsatilla 2 pills 2 times a day for 2 days. I stopped taking other medicines including my vitamins during those 2 days .
I wanted add few more things to my symptoms which I forgot before .
1. Describe your main suffering?
I have a very big problem in that I find it exceedingly hard to focus is almost everything I do. At Work, most of the time when I am supposed to be doing work, I'll end up daydreaming or browsing . My work is not hard at all for me . I keep delaying and end up doing everything last minute just so I don't lose my Job.
I often find reading from books to be difficult, not because I don't like reading, but that I end up reading the same sentences over and over again not comprehending what I am reading.
I end of lying just to cover myself.I tend to lie very easily although deep in my heart I know its very bad.
At times I tend to talk too much altough its not neccesary , I give more details than what was asked for.
Am very negligent when doing anything being be at work or home . I keep postponing and forgetting.
I go upstairs to get 3 things but forget to get them all or get easily distracted
I almost forget the names of new things (food/people/places/movies) , its getting worse with my age.
Facing unexpected situations or meeting somebody unexpected , I get too nervous can't even find simple words to talk.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Too much dandruff and slight pain near top middle part of my head , thats where I loose my hair too.
13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
very less. Sometimes I don't remember drinking water at all if I don't keep a bottle of water in front of me.
At times my day goes by just by one glass of water.I don't feel thrist at all.

The remedy is suggested after knowing your current state. Therefore the remedy suggestions may change from time to time. In many cases the same remedy is suggested always. There is no need to take any remedy daily. It acts internally and offers adequate stimulation to the vital force over a long period.
