what do you suggest

hi
in the last 8 years I have gained a lot of weight (I'm 130 kg now, h.1.70) and my feet and ankles have hurt so bad it's become increasingly difficult for me to walk. It's true that I'm heavy but I feel the problems with feet and ankles are independent form the load factor. In the last 4 years I've also had chronic diarrhea, that seems linked to an intolerance to wheat and dairy.
The problem with weight is new in that I've always managed to being shape, but I have had always to control myself a lot, and diet often. But after my son was born, or more specifically after he was 3 months old, it just wasn't possible any more to control like before. At that time I suffered a very severe post-partum depression that kind of resolved in time, but I'm still in great grief most of the time, although I keep it for myself. The feeling is that this problem is linked to problems I had with my mother, which in turn generated my problems with food at early age. She seemed to have troubles letting my on the breast, in fear I could gain weight, so she let me have 25 sucks and then no matter if I protested she wouldn't give me more milk. Later when I was a kid, she was nagging and being critical, and my beloved father was always away for work.

I went to a homeopathic doctor last year, who prescribed me ammonium iodatum, but it didn't do anything to me. As it wasn't working and he insisted on me continuing it after 2 months, I left the doctor. More recently I went to a new doctor who prescribed me 200ch calc carb and 9ch ammonium muriaticum. Now, I couldn't be more far from the type of the calcarea carbonica! So after a week where of course nothing happened I self-treated with Ignatia 200ch. I immediately felt it energetically, and I felt for a couple of days slightly uplifted in the mood. Also the diarrhea seems to be much better. Then the third day I found I had a sort of enormous pimple or rush on the upper part of the left thigh, and my legs are now aggravated in that especially my left leg is having problems moving at the knee, so I can't walk properly. They also hurt. I take these two aggravations as positive, but I want to ask you here for confirmation. I also would like to know how to proceed from here, should I take more Ignatia, at which potency and when? at home I also have a bottle of 30ch Ignatia, that my husband bought for me on his own initiative, but it's no problem for me to buy whichever potency you think is most suited. Thanks for help!

ok :)

I wanted to add, my left leg is actually in quite a bad shape, today I went out and I can't lift it properly when I walk and it hurts when I turn. Maybe some swelling has created problems to some nerve. On the same left leg there's this enormous pimple. These are the two aggravations I got after taking Ignatia 200ch last thursday or friday evening, don't remember exactly.

Hi,

Please get hold of Phytolacca Decandra 1X, Bryonia 200C, Arsenicum Album 200C and Colocynthis 200C asap.

Good luck.

I'm puzzled, why do you think I should change remedy if Ignatia is working? (I mean the aggravation are a good sign, y/n?)

Ignatia has already done its work. Please do not over dose.

'I mean the aggravation are a good sign, y/n?)'
n
Aggravations = over dosing, wrong remedy, wrong potency or reading too much about it
