thank you. This is precisely why i asked this question . i am not a homeopath, but was shocked when the one i went to prescribed such a high dose for such a long time.

This is a homeopath/MD. He has been practicing for many many years, with a very successful practice. He was my son's pediatrician (now 21 yrs. old). He is known however for dosing way too high, and once my son went into febrile seizure after a remedy he was given for bronchitis. it did clear the bronchitis though! I know a bit about homeopathy, and when i was told to take such high doses of a 1M remedy I became concerned, especially since a proving might actually cause tumors...or in any case that was my concern.
My problem is that i have no way of determining whether it is working as i can not go in for xrays every month to see if the cysts have decreased.
perhaps i should dose once a month, and then go back in 3 months to see if it has had good effect? would this be appropriate?

would you please help me choose the proper remedy? i am longing to avoid the surgery, and heal my self without such an invasive and risky procedure. Which information would you need to choose a remedy?

the symptoms of having a cyst in my jaw are none because it is a silent condition that was found on an xray. would you like me to just describe my person as i am now a 52 year old menopausal woman? i am told the cyst has been growing probably slowly for many years. Will this matter?

1. my main problem is a dentigous cyst in my lower jaw that has pushed my wisdom tooth very far down. i also have pockets in my gums but now redness, or swelling, just gum disease with deep pockets. I have had 3 infections with bacteria deep in the pocked of the wisdom tooth in the last 2 months.

2. I also have insomnia for the last few months. i am awake sometimes 2-3 hours in the middle of the night. no anxiety, just can't sleep. I will usually be woken up with a strange dropping heaviness in my stomach almost like anxiety, then i will have a hot flash and a little sweat in the middle of the night, and then i can not fall back asleep.
i have eczema on my hands and between my fingers usually from stress, or if i drink a beer or two (i almost never do). My stomach is usually the cause of this.
i also have a condition over the last few years that if i even am scratched, or bang up against something on my forearms or hands i get petechia - blood bruises on my skin. my skin rips or tears very easily - like an older persons skin. i have been in the sun for many many years.


3. I have some worry about the surgery i might have to have. I have alot of frustration, and anger, and worry with my daughter's condition. she has much rage, anxiety, and defiance, and no matter how calm i remain she can be very abusive and out of control. this causes me much stress and i feel it in my head and stomach when i am really upset.

4. When i am at my worst with sleep i am tired, and when i am at my worst with my daughter's anger i am completely enraged and exhausted myself. I have a strong heaviness, and stone in my gut, and my teeth clench, and i am hot in the face, and i just want to cry with her defiance and abuse. When my tooth is infected it is mostly just a local symptom.

5. THe cyst growing in my gums has probably been growing for many years. my problems with my daughter began

6 years ago. the sleep issues just about 4 months ago - when things with my daughter became very difficult. the tooth infections also began with the stress of my daughter a few months ago.

7. walking outside always helps me with everything. chinese herbs help me with my sleep. also putting my hands on my belly and meditating in bed lying down can help me sleep finally. talking with friends helps.

8. My sleep, and the strange sensation in the pit of my stomach when i wake in the middle of the night with a warmth, and then sweat is related to my menopause. it comes and goes, but usually i could fall right back to sleep after a half hour, or hour. now i can lay awake as long as 3 hours.
i do think the stress from my daughter makes it all worse. but the cysts - which are my main concern, seem to be a very common problem with impacted wisdom teeth. My gum disease has been with me slowly over the years but i did not know because it has no symptoms at all and my teeth look and are very healthy.

9. I like dry, cool to warm weather. i don't like to be too hot, i dislike humid very much. if it is dry heat with water near by then it feels good.

10. I am agreeable mostly but very sensitive. i am easily frightened by angry men, and dislike them. i am very loving, and generous, and my whole life is about helping other people with their health and their peace of mind. I love my family, and my children, and i love my life. i feel blessed, and joyful most of the time.

thuderstorms hurt my joints before they happen, but i love them.

i like being consoled, held and listened to when i am sad or worried.

I do not like loud noises. i have a very strong sense of smell and can smell things most people can not. i do not see well at night and am easily blinded by bright lights.

no habits

as i said, my friends and my family are what i live for. at times i feel estranged from my husband because he is distant, and not very emotional. i sometimes feel lonely in our marriage after 30 years though we are good and old friends and we appreciate the family we have together.

11. My greatest fear is that something will happen to me and my daughter will be left without a mother.

12. I crave salty foods. i can not tolerate very sweet food, or fatty greasy food. both make me sick to my stomach

13. i don't have too much thirst usually although lately the little sleep makes me crave more water.

14. my hunger now is much less than in my younger years. i eat very healthy food, and tend to eat larger portions than some because i love good food.

15. I do not like licorice.

16. i sweat on my head mostly - i have alway sweat alot from my head.

17. my stools are normal, easy to evacuate, and some times 2 times a day in the morning right when i wake up and again after breakfast

18. Sleep i described above. before the menopause issues i have been a great sleeper with never a problem falling or staying asleep.

19. my sexual desires are satisfied yes.

20. i notice that i am not afraid to stand up for what i believe, and to fight for what i think is right. i will question authority, and i will go to people in high positions and tell them what i think is not fair, or working right. i am able to work in a peaceful way with almost anyone, and am able to let go of my way of seeing things long enough to hear the other side, but i will stand up for what i believe as well.

21. i take chinese herbs for my menopause symptoms. i have had to take antibiotics for the gum infections. otherwise i do not use medications

22. none

23.i am 5'7, strong body, blonde hair blue eyes. i am in the sun alot so i am brown skin even though my skin is pale without the sun years ago. my legs are muscular and strong. my belly is larger down around where my c-section scar is, but the rest of my body is well porportioned.

24. My periods were regular but very painful my whole life with large clots and horrible cramps and sometimes very bad headaches. a few times the cramps were so bad i would vomit. chinese medicine helped with the cramps, and homeopathy - sanguinaria helped with the headaches. i had terrible PMS, angry, irritable, and sensitive especially with my husband and kids.
my menopause was harder in peri menopause with many difficult moods - mostly triggered by my daughter's problems.

Thank you so very much for your time and help. i noticed i made one mistake on the questions and i don't know if it matters but thought i should mention it. i wrote that i had no redness, pain, or swelling in my gums - that my gum disease was 'silent', but rather than writing 'no' i wrote 'now'. I wanted you to know that there is no infalmmation in the gums except locally when i have the infection in the deep wisdom tooth pocket.
Thank you again, and i will begin my remedy and let you know how it goes in two weeks.

Hi,
I am reporting back after taking the suggested dosage of Sepia. I realize that to report back is somewhat difficult as my main concern is the cyst which is growing in my jaw, and the only way to know whether that has changed at all is via xrays which i am unable to receive regularly. I do have a follow up appt. with a surgeon in a week and a half and there will be another set of panoramic xrays taken.
I will say however that the waking up at 4am with the flutter/anxiety like feeling, and then the hot flush have actually gotten a bit worse not better. It is almost always around 4am, and then i am awake for quite some time.
I don't know how to proceed without being able to measure the progress of the cyst in my jaw. I wish it were more clear cut!
With gratitude.
