Hello Randy: actually lycopod. wasn't such a bad choice after all-since your headaches are on the right side! (what pot. did you use? just wonder.)
sulphur is left side, or upper left lower right-so this is NOT it.

Dear John & Astra:
First of all, I would like to thank John for quickly replying to my post in an acute stage. Currently, my neck pain & headache is fine, took Lachesis, details below:
I just rested yesterday, did absolutely nothing. My pains were better by 90%. I think just at the onset I rested & might have helped but this does not always happens. By this time John had replied. I had Lachesis 200C at home, not the 30C as advised.
I took one dose of Lachesis 200C & put it in half a glass of water, stir & took one spoon of it & went to sleep. Although, I did not have a very good deep sleep, I was perfectly fine with the pain in the morning when I woke up. I was heavily bloated, like a pressure cooker in my abdomen, but after waking up passed gas few times & felt much better.
One thing wanted to point out again is that the evening on the day before I got headache, I was very gassy & passing gas every few minutes which then stopped & I had headache the following day.
John, to answer your question, no I don't smoke or chew tobacco.
Astra, I had taken Lyco 30C followed by 200C previously. Since, I had some bad neck pain sometime back & had taken Tylenol & Advil after that, so may be the Lyco & CV I took before may have been antidoted. If you & John think I will take it again if needed.
On & off, I do feel a tingling very very light pain on the left side of the abdomen which goes away in few minutes. This may happen alternate days or so but no pattern, not happening frequently. This gives me an indication that things in my colon are still not OK.
Currently, I am still gassy but the "pressure cooker" is absent... feeling of strong pressure not there, but lots of rumbling & noises are there in the stomach.
One more thing, even though I have been saying that I am not constipated, I have been having two bowel movements on the average, making me feel that maybe I am not having a good bowel movement....One of the symptoms. My tongue is coated white too.
Appreciate all the help. Should I just stay put for the moment?
John may I ask where you are located, I already know about Astra?
Thanks & Best Regards

listen---start priobiotics--see chiropractor--yes colon is affected--but only as part of totality---no suprise that there is subluxation(s)cervical vertebrae region...

Dear John:
Usually, the neck pain/headache makes me very weak for at least a day after the occurrence. If the pain is controlled at the onset this weakness is less. This morning (after the day of the pain) I was not weak & feeling quite normal, although still wanted to take it a bit easy & relax.
If Lachesis is my remedy to control my pain (acute) then this will be a major breakthrough for continuation of un-interrupted homeopathic treatment as this has been a major challenge.
I have taken antibiotics twice for my abdominal pain/infection. I think the last time I took was late last year (maybe Nov.). The allopathic doctors give me Cipro 500 mg x twice daily for 10days. There is no cure in allopathy for this problem.
John, I know you are trying to help me, but I am a bit nervous to go to a Chiropractor as finding a good one is not easy & I sure do not want to mess up my case/body by any wrong moves. Regarding priobiotics, I am checking into it (trying to find where I can buy them) & have added yogurt to my diet as it is also in the similar lines... good bacteria to kill the bad bacteria.
I would prefer to continue my treatment homeopathically only at this stage. I really appreciate your input & help.
Thanks & Best Regards

So you can see Randy that PENNSYLVANIA RULES!
As to your symptoms they all seem to draw the same remedies:ars and lyc but also china (it's chilly though)
sulph and aloe (both warm)-
even the white coated tongue.
Nux vomica has this coat (usually white) on about 2/3 of the tongue-at the back, and has most of your symptoms, but nux is REALLY chilly.
John is your only hope- I find it impossible to decide on one remedy based on these symptoms.
But homeopathy is definitely the right way.

Dear John & Astra:
YUP Pennsylvania rules, there are quite a few homeopaths there compared to TX.
Anyway, regarding allergies during childhood, I did try ayurvedic as well as homeopathic treatment but never got rid of it. I had this as a major problem not too long ago, say 4 to 5 yrs ago, and every allergy season say in Spring & Fall would get sick with sinus infection & it was treated here by antibiotics (This was around 1994-1997) One time I realized that every time I would do lawn mow, my allergies would perk up & sometimes get sick badly, then I stopped doing lawnmow myself & this did wonders. I stopped going close to areas where lawnmow was being done. I guess this tells me that I am allergic to grass, I think I am allergic to dust too. I had been taking homeopthic remedies on & off & now almost no sinus allergies.. NIL, I do have to blow my nose rarely but hardly any mucous. Sinus problem is hereditary in my family, my dad had bad allergies & my siblings & kids have the same problem.
Don't know if snoring is because of these allergies I had, but I snore very very loud & think mostly all night, immediately after I go back to sleep.
John, the itching on the lower legs is reducing very very slowly since about one month. The itching is on the lower part of the legs (calves mostly). There is no pattern but mostly once in two days or so. When it itches, it is strong and the skin looks dry & white on scratching & feels heat too on scratching. I was initially itching on both the legs (same area) but the itching was more on the left leg compared to the right. Now I rarely scratch the right lower leg.
I don't know if I wrote this or not, my left foot thumb has a small fungul problem.. beige/dirty look on the right side of the left thumb, half nail about 2-3mm wide. One time it got fixed & the nail broke off from the infected area & I thought that the problem went away but I see that it has gone bad again.
ONE CHANGE IN SYMPTOM today, I am less gassy today. This sounds yak, but I need to tell you for evaluation. I had three bowel movements yesterday (I was very gassy), the 3rd bowel movement was little loose but after that I was less gassy.
Astra, do you have an e-mail address I can use if I need to. John I am sending you an e-mail, please have a look at it, I will copy it to Astra when I get her address.
Thanks & Best Regards,
Rajan

Dear John,
I took a dose of Hepar Sulph 30C as suggested by you. I do feel a little light today in the abdomen... will keep u posted.
I cannot find UDO's Choice priobiotics. The names I have come across are UAS, Bluebonnet & Natures Way. There may be more other brands. I know they all are different. Not knowing if all are OK/good & safe to take, needed your advise. Do u have any other suggestions, or do u want me to take whatever I find as a complete/best priobiotics?

John,
I had neck pain again today. A little while after waking up I felt mild pain & stiffness on the right side of the neck. I monitored & it stayed about the same for 1-2 hours, but then I felt that if I don't take something it might flare-up & become worse.
So I took a dose of Lachesis 200C (don't have 30C). The pain remained about the same on & off for about 6hrs & then has subsided. I was passing a lot of gas for the last two days but the abdomen was feeling light, but this morning when I woke up I was less gassy but has a neck pain. The pain did travel for a short duration to the right side of the head.
For the future, if I ever get neck pain or headache, should I still take Lachesis 200C dose to try to control the pain?
Thanks for the help.

no more lachesis -its not the remedy--maybe helped before---but we're looking deeper and due to fact you had recently taken hepar ...it would have been proper to inform of what was occuring---intensity of old symptom --most likely needed to go up in potency---not sure how lachesis efect the use of hepar--NO OTHER REMEDIES__no panic--post or email --i will respond unless i'm dead...

Dear John:
Sorry about the mess by taking Lachesis. Anyway, I will be starting priobiotics this weekend.
Wanted to let you know that for the last three days I have started getting acidity/heartburn in the day time and has been increasing every day. It is not continues & occurrs on & off. As you know from my case history that this was also a major problem not too long ago. Alongwith heartburn, I am bloated again. Also, the scar swell-up & bleeded today but is same as before. Also, I am very very mentally tired/exhausted for the last 2 days & sleepy type (want to sleep late & just rest).
Thanks & Best Regards

Dear John,
I started the priobiotics today. I bought the "Primal Defense" by "Garden of Life" priobiotics. I took one capsule today in the morning with breakfast. Since noon, I am very gassy & heavily bloated. Right now it is causing me a lot of abdominal discomfort as I am heavily loaded with gas. I am not easily passing or not passing enough gas & just collecting more in my abdomen. There is a lot of rumbling noises in the abdomen. Made few restroom visits, but not helping.
I have not yet taken HS 200C as I do not have it yet. I have ordered it & would receive it in few days. I do not have a homeopathic pharmacy nearby which would carry remedies above 30C potency. I do have Hepar Sulph 30C at home.
Thanks for your help.

put few pellets of hepar 30c in 10-20 tablespoons of water --stir and sip once---

use 1/2 dose priobiotic recommended dosage or less --need to adjust to bodies abilioty to assimilate and respond comfortably--and increase slowly to recommended...may take days maube weeks--whatever you individually access as comfortable

Hello John:
I am having headache again. This afternoon my neck started feeling pain/stiffness in the right side of the back of the neck. It stayed there for a while & now my right side of the head hurts too. On motion or exertion, I start getting spasms, i.e. strong spasmodic pains, please help/ suggest to control pain by homeopathic remedies.
I have not taken anything for the pain & have been trying to manage it. I was out of the house & did not have access to internet to be able to post it at the onset of the pain.
General Update: I have not yet taken Hepar Sulph 200C, as the pharmacy messed up on my order & are mailing it again. My abdomen in general had been much lighter for the last 2 days. I did not have a full, normal bowel movement today compared to other days & a bit gassy & bloated currently. I am taking daily a single capsule daily to initially accomodate my body to the priobiotics before increasing the dosage to 2-3 a day.
Hope I am able to reach you soon.
