nervous system disorder? joepathy?

Dear,

After taking ritalin (a Central nervous system stimulant) for 5 weeks i developped muscle twitches, spasms, tingeling and occasional nerve pain all over my body.
This is lasting for 6 months now .
I had a CT scan, MRI EEGs etc but nothing can show a physical cause.

Does anybody, especially Joe, knows a sollution for what appears an overexcited nervous system?


Regards

Hi,

Joe is not on the forum very often anymore. it would
be easier to contact him on his own web site http://www.joedelivera.com

I would suggest that you try Nux Vomica 30c, one dose
at night for 4 nights and see if it clears out the reactions
of the ritalin. Nux vomica is for clearing overdoses of
things in the body. Drugs can be stored in the organs
and muscles etc and not show up on medical tests.

Another thing you could do is try a shiatsu or acupressure
massage by someone who is very well trained ( especially
shiatsu) you wear clothes, they work on your spine area and
this flushes out toxins and gets the nervous system to start
flowing well again.

You could also try acupuncture, and they can tell by
taking your pulse what organs are not working up to
par and then give treatment for that.

Thank you for your reply Simone.

Do you suspect the ritalin to still affect me ( as being stored in my system), even 5-6 months after taking it?

I allready bought the Nux Vomica 30C and if i understand it correct then 1 dose is 3 pellets.

I will keep you updated!
 
tara1000 last decade
Yes, I think it is still in your system, otherwise there
would be no effects by this time.
 
simone717 last decade
Dear Simone,

i have been using Nux Vomica for 4 nights as you suggested but i still suffer from what i call an overexcited nervous system ( giving me spasms, stress, anxiety, twitches etc..) but i do feel more grounded again.

Is there something else i could try?

Thank you

Hi Tara,

Wait a couple more days without taking anything and
then report in what your symptoms are at that time.
 
simone717 last decade
Hi Simone,

my symptomes did not get better.

I still have twitches and a feeling of stress/pain in the nerves that change location.
sometimes it is in the right side of my face but other times in the left, or in my leg, arms, chest etc

Hi- I probably typed in the link with an error. What you have filled
out is fine. I will analyze it today-may have a few more questions.
 
simone717 last decade
I would also like to add that my sympptomes change all the time amongst eachother.

for examples i have nerve pains in different areas, changing from location all the time. then the pain stops and i have twitches, then spasms, then tingeling, then twitches again , then pain again and so on. it never stops

:-)
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi Tara,

I want you to start out with 2 cell salts, also called Dr. Schuessler tissue salts.
Tissue salts work by balancing out the cell metabolism and they are
a sub branch of homeopathy. I don't know where you are in Europe but
here is a link where to buy them from the UKhttp://www.homeoforce.co.uk?

Please get Kali Phos 6x and Nat Phos 6x.

Take the Nat phos after each meal 3x a day- 3 tabs under the tongue.

Take the Kali Phos 3x a day, 3 tabs under the tongue at a different time.

If your medication dipiperon is not helping, I would start to discontinue it
asap-Ask your doctor for the protocol to wean off this drug. It has a lot
of side effects, including movement disorders and gastro intestional issues.

Report back after 4 day of doing the salts .

Regards,

Simone717

Dear Simone,

i am sorry for my late reply.

I ended up in the hospital again and now am off all medication.

when you tell me to get the Kali Phos 6x and Nat Phos 6x,

do you mean the cell salt version as i find on the website you posted?

At the moment the spasms are less but since the weather is get colder my asthma is flaring up again.

Regards
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi Tara,

Yes I do mean the homeoforce site and it is the cell
salt version-

What happened in the hospital?

Take care,

Simone717

simone717 last decade
I had seizures again but nothing is seen on an EEG so no epilepsy

again received the diagnosis stress..

it is weird to believe because at this point half of my body aches, like nerve pains and i have some spasms from time to time but less...
well i just really hope they are right and it is stress
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi,

Are the seizures something that showed up only after ritalin-
or did you have them any time in your life before?
 
simone717 last decade
i never had seizures, spasms or tics before taking the ritalin.
now my EEG is clear and i also do not loose consiousness so they are not epileptic and if i have to believe the dr's caused by stress/anxiety.
Ever since i took the ritalin i am overstressed and anxious so this might be true.
i am so nervous that most of the time my hand is shaking or my leg when i sit on a chair :-)
 
tara1000 last decade
Thanks.

Report back after 4 days of the cell salts.
 
simone717 last decade
Hello Simone,

I have used the cell salts for 4 days and noticed the following:

-my nervous sytem issues got better but are still far from ok,
i feel very anxious from time to time and hypervetilate.
-my acidity issues seemed to be gone allready a few days before taking the salts and stayed away untill now, it seems like the acidit was related to stress
- the only bad news i have is that the weather is getting colder and my asthma is on its wayback. if i dont find a homeopatic treatment for this i will be forced to use a corticosteroid srpa, which gives me acidity and nervousness.

Thnak you for all your help Simone!
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi Tara,

1. If there is no acidity, then stop Nat phos. You may
take it when or if you have acidity.

2. Keep taking Kali phos, 4 tabs 3x a day and add to it
Cal Phos6x, 4 tabs 3x a day. You can take these two
together.

3. For the asthma- start taking Nat Sulph 6x cell salt
at a different time 4 tabs 3x a day.

Report back again after 4 days on everything.

Best,

Simone717
 
simone717 last decade
Hi Simone,

i have Nat Sulph 6c at home but those are not cell salts.
Can i take that or better order the cell salts?

Regards
 
tara1000 last decade
Have you tried the Nat sulph 6c before for the asthma?

and if so, what was the result.
 
simone717 last decade
i have tried the 30C version and it did not help.

I also tried Joe De Livera's method of using the 6C in a wet dose ( 3 pellets in a bottle of 500ml of water and then 1tsp a day). i tried it a few days but at that time the weather was hotter so i would not have gotten triggered anyway

my main triggers are firewood smoke and cold humid weather. dry cold is ok and hot humid also ;-)
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi- you can try the 6c again and test it out.

Try it as a dry dose first. Take 3 pills under the tongue,
3x a day and observe if there is any relief at all.
Report after 2 days of doing this.

Get the Cal Phos though- as it helps with nerves and it
also helps people who have reactions to cold weather and sensitive to smoke.

Hello Simone,

the Nat Sulp did not stop me from having asthma when the weather got colder.
i fear that i ll have to start corticosteroids soon.

meanwhile my nerve issue seems to get better.

Regards
 
tara1000 last decade
Hi-

Can you give me a percentage of how much the nervous
system is improving-That is the first improvement was
small ( how much) the second report improving further
( how much)

I would like you to try 3 doses of Arsenicum Album 30c for
the asthma-
put 3 pills or 2 drops in two tablespoons of water and
take it a half hour before or after a meal. If you notice
a big reaction or improvement after one dose, or two
stop taking.

Let me know a day after you do this- carefully note all reactions.

Continue the cell salts as before. btw, if you need the inhaler,
by all means use it bc this issue can take some time.
