So I'm wondering if I should change the dosage again. I've been dosing every 2 days, approximately. Feeling good, and have had a more busy week this week, so I have been needing the remedy more often I believe because of that. I am just fine waiting it out if that seems best.

Is there anything that is not improving - I know you mentioned your sexual desire. Anything else?

Is anything worse than it was?

Is there anything new?

Has anything from the past returned?

Let's see...the sexual desire has actually picked up a bit over the last week or so. So I'm happy about that.
I felt a little more stressed out the last week or so.
Actually, I've had a nagging illness that is not really going away on its own. It's been just a very slight illness, with a runny nose and sore throat in the tonsil area, that hasn't come to a head or really gone away either. It waxes and wanes a bit, but I wonder if that's making me have to use the remedy a little more frequently. Is there anything I can take to help this illness pass? My kids have had a constant runny nose for about two weeks as well, so I know it's just this bug we've got, but it's been kind of annoying.

As for the rest, it seems like the only thing that's maybe a little worse is I feel more tired lately, and a little less able to cope with stress or pressure. Feel like it makes me get all frazzled easily and hard to think clearly about the situation, feel overwhelmed easily. I don't feel it's been out of control, just a bit here and there and needing to take the remedy more often as a result.
Headaches have stepped back up again, migraine-like with pain on one side of the head, phonophobia and photophobia, etc. I have had to take Immitrex more often. I don't like having to take it, but I can't seem to get rid of the headache without it.

From the past--let's see. While my husband was away for 4 weeks, I felt kind of ambivalent about him, like I didn't miss him much while he was gone, and also had no sexual appetite either. When he came home though, seems like the sexual desire came back, which it hadn't been back from some months now, even when he was home more often. I also felt I was able to open up to him more emotionally. So...not sure if any of that helps. Now he's gone again and I don't really feel sad about it, like I can just wall it off so to speak, but then again I am used to this routine as he has been 'over the road' (long haul) trucking before.

I have felt a bit more anxious lately...that has been somewhat of a constant overall, but waxing and waning. I feel like I really would like to ditch the anxiety, but I'm not sure how.

Overall I feel much improved, and that the remedy is really helping. I feel that I'm doing well overall and managing pretty good. Better about wanting to get out and do things socially, having the energy to do them, etc.

That is great progress actually. And it is being done gently and gradually which is also good. I am confident the remedy is the correct one.

The need to repeat frequently might be because of your medication though, and it is not uncommon to see that happening. Unfortunately the medication becomes an obstacle and must be compensated for with frequent dosing.

Let's just see how things go for the moment, as there has been more progress even since starting this conversation. We can move up to 30c in the near future I believe, but I just want the timing to be right.

I'd prefer not to use any other remedies unless there is a clear change of state.

Sounds like a plan. I feel good about how things are going, too. I am getting more and more impressed with homeopathy.

Hey there, wondering if I should try anything different.
Lately I have been really frustrated with being 'stuck' spiritually. I've been trying to make peace with it, fix it, work it out, think about it, etc, but nothing is working. I still feel really stuck and frustrated. I wish I could move past whatever the blockage is and move forward somehow. Any ideas?
I've been taking my remedy every couple of days lately, and so far, it seems to be going ok, except for wrestling with spiritual issues and feeling like I'm at a crossroads. On one hand, I could go back to the faith I used to have, but I feel unfulfilled in it. On the other hand, I could strike out, but I don't know which way to go or what to believe. It just feels confusing.

I'm wondering if I should increase the succussions on my remedy. I'm feeling kind of 'blah' lately...not wanting to go out for walks, or go anywhere, just staying inside and not doing much.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
I increased succussions to 6, and I feel that has done the trick for my mood, more or less. I have been getting frequent migraines again though, and tired a lot.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Hmmm... have the migraines returned after getting better?

I would actually increase the sucussions to 10 and see if that helps, although I am getting the feeling it is time to step up to the next potency.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Yes, for a time the migraines seemed to improve, and now they're getting more frequent. I will definitely increase to 10. Thank you!

Are they worse than they used to be prior to the remedy, better than they used to be, or the same?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Hmm, I think about the same. They start in the morning, are worse if I'm tired. In fact they make me feel tired when I have one. I usually end up taking an Immitrex for them, because nothing else seems to work. Sometimes I wonder if I get them from clenching my teeth at night. I have noticed I've been doing that a lot lately.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
I can't afford to get the next potency up just yet. I think I should be able to this coming week though. In the meantime, can I increase the succussions beyond 10? I don't really feel like it's working like I'd like. I've been really overwrought emotionally and irritable. I feel like everyone needs something from me and I have nothing left for myself. I feel that I want them all to go away and just leave me alone.
I'm wondering if maybe I'm going to have my first period since giving birth? My mood is always worse with my period.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Potency is likely to be the issue. You can keep increasing the succussions but I doubt they will take the remedy much further.

Are you sure you haven't had too much?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
That's possible. I took it a couple days in a row trying to get relief. I will abstain for a couple of days and see if it helps.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
So I have the 30c potency now. I took a dose of the lower potency a day or two ago and have been feeling ok, so I will give it a day or two and then take the new potency.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Yes wait a bit before using it. I would like to make sure it is time for the change.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
OK good to know.

Just wondering if I should give it a go. My husband commented to me tonight about how I never smile, am always overwhelmed by the kids and am never happy. I have been feeling more anxious recently, although anxiety is almost always a constant for me, it just seems more noticeable. I have been feeling rather antisocial as well. I had a boost to my sex drive a few weeks ago but that dropped off again.
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Ok yes, it sounds like it is time to move to 30c. Take only one dose to begin with, exactly as you had with the 12c.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Thank you! I went ahead and took the remedy, and I already feel a lot better! I think I may take the kids out for a walk in the sunshine today. I'm always amazed at what the right remedy at the right time can do.

So I am on the third day since taking the remedy---I actually took it the day before you replied because I really felt I needed it. The first day was awesome. Great energy despite being on day 1 of my menstrual cycle, positive attitude, went for a long walk which I haven't done in a couple of weeks. Got a lot done around the house---had good motivation. Second day was similar but felt a little less energy, a bit irritable in the morning but cleared up by noon. Today I've felt irritable most of the day, mostly due to lack of sleep I feel, from Kody being awake for a couple hours in the middle of the night. Had a nap today but still feel irritable. Should I repeat the remedy?
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Yes definitely repeat.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Thanks. I'm assuming it's just the same as before--repeat as necessary, right?
 
alaskamom 9 years ago
Yes but I would expect you need to repeat less often. 30c is a fairly big jump up from 12c, and we need to keep an eye on how often you need it and what exactly is calling for you to repeat.
