Seems to have started around menopause time

Agreeable, used to worry a lot about our finances, like to laugh, head strong, some might say I am too strong of a personality
- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
Cozy and happy if I see it coming but while sleeping I do worry if lightening might hit our house but it is not a huge worry but if it gets loud I do wake and listen to be sure
- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
Sometimes I will call one of my daughters to talk to her but in many ways I just deal with it myself inside

dont like perfumes that are strong but not sensitive to lights or noise and I can sleep in a crowded room no problem
- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless

I used to have some tics where I tried to pop my neck a lot..sometimes I do that with my fingers, and sometimes I do talk to myself really talking to God but do it out loud as I work out problems
- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
I enjoy my friends but often feel that I am the one doing all the work in the friendship I often give a lot maybe too much but I love to laugh and consider myself very social
Enjoy my kids very much all of them..my only son is harder to talk to than my girls but I love him and enjoy him but he is not as close to me I think in part because he lives further away but now that he is older I enjoy him a lot more daughters are wonderful and I love having all my kids home together
Husband..he was my high school sweetheart saw him from a distance and knew I was going to marry him been married for almost 34 years..but it is tense between us sometimes because he is very demanding and intense I think sort of selfish too but also because I have no libido he is mad a lot at me for depriving him of that
11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
Fear of not having enough money and dont hardly remember my dreams but no reoccurring dream now..i did have one when I was a child when I was getting sick I always had the same dream of a talking german shepherd dog who talked and was my mother!!
12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?

I have no libido anymore but before yes now I could care less about sex
20. How do you think you are different from others, if at all?
Honestly I think I have a quicker mind than most..i think I see things at a deeper level..i dont want to sound arrogant because I do respect that everyone has their gifts but I am very analytical thinker and good problem solver..and have a very good intuition about what is really happening on a deeper level while others might just see surface or obvious stuff .i also feel a deep spiritual connection to God and dont do well with organized religions as many of my friends do I have a balanced personality not addictive and many of my friends drink too much but they are fun!

Hi Dawn,
This remedy is made from an animal- it is the Koala bear.
You can only get it from Remedia.au ( huge Austria Pharmacy,)
like Helios UK but has more things.
Takes about 5 to 7 days.

ok i will order it..should i still take the sulfur suggested since i have already ordered it?
dawnv5 last decade
I think there might be a little confusion here- bc it
sounded like you had taken the sulphur.
To recap- you took Pulsatilla, then you did not
take Lyco and you did not take Sulphur-
so the antibody reaction where you asked about
remedy causing any of it - would have been
Pulsatilla bc you had no other remedies..
sounded like you had taken the sulphur.
