Is there any pain anywhere in your body? If yes, please describe in detail? The Parotid Gland is sore from time to time and my cheek swells lightly as if the cheek skin becomes thick and then will go back to normal. Tired body, lower back pain but this is due to over exurtion.

Are the B cysts hard? No they are soft. The left side is grape size and soft and is a clear liquid inside but I have not pushed it in a long time. The right side, small one (3 peas size) is soft as well. no irritation, no discomfort

Do you feel comfortable in summer? I feel ok but I prefer the dark cold in the summer time. I like to sleep late in the morning but have not been able to for 2 months. Its been 100-105 with high humidity and I don't like the hot, sticky wheather. My muscles are tired from work, I am very very busy with my kids. I don't sleep well when I go to bed too tired and I wake up with my back and shoulders aching like today.

How do you feel in winter season? I stay warm and wrapped up in the winter, I don't like running the dry heater so I have very warm blankets that I wear around the house. I don't like to go out in cold. I'm in Arizona because I love the warmer, DRY air but we are having monsoons this time of year now so its humid.

When do you feel better? After a looong sleep 10 hours. I'm extremely active but I enjoy laying and sleeping when I'm not busy.

When do you feel worse? Right before my period it seems my immune system goes low and acne does not heal properly, I feel unusually tired, bloated, hungery and crave sweets/salts. Right after my peroid, then I feel energy again, better healing but the smallest scratches don't heal well for the past 4-6 years, I feel much better AFTER my period.

What is the color of right side of your face? Normal, no discoloration, no redness, no swelling.

'should I take Calcerea Phos?'
How did you arrive at this?

I read a ton of information online about 3 months ago so I bought Silicea 200, and Calcium a good multi vitamin. I did take the Calcium from time to time and noticed an improvement in a cough I had at the time. I've been too afraid to take the Silicea because I didn't know if it was the right kind. I've been increasingly worried about further health problems coming from the B Cysts and the Parotid Gland swelling is quite a strange experience. I just would like to resolve this know whats causing the gland swelling and correct it and be back to normal.

Thank you Dr. Nawaz, I hope you find my responses helpful.

Also one note I forgot to mention...2 months ago I got a rash of about 30-40 tiny bumps on my left hand and this itches really bad off and on and has never gone away. One month ago on my left shoulder I developed a spot that itches alot and has turned to a bit of a sore from sratching it and its not healing either. I attributed it to our hot/humid wheather.

Dear Dr. Nawaz,

Can you kindly explain what symptoms each of these remedies are treating?

Thank you,
Sedara
