Feeling Fragile & Sensitive, Please Help :) Page 5 of 6

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Thank you Evocationer. I did see your last post. I took it that day Of the 200c Sepia. I already had that remedy from when I was prescribed that around a year ago.

This week I have felt a little sensitive to the weather changes and there was a coworker at work it was sick and I think that even though I haven't gotten full blown sick. that my nose was feeling wet is like it was going to run on a flat yesterday. mostly my right nostrise felt congested a few times yesterday my left nose felt wet and enough my throat has been cut of dry and irritated. but I don't know if that's from the remedy because people have been sick at my work.

Sometimes my right wrist or hand gets itchy.

I was just curious what the remedy that you would give me was. would you give me that remedy over sepia if I was close by? is that room anymore of a match? does that remind me not exist? or are you trying sepia first?

I'm not sure if has made a change yet as I was very upset on Tuesday because my brother cancelled our nephews birthday party so he could watch his baseball game.

During the same time I was happy because I got a new haircut that was a birthday present and I felt really good because my haircut look nice. and since I've been working out I've gotten better and shape so I feel happy about that too.

I also stopped taking melatonin at night 3m dose as I think I was becoming dependent on it and it was making me groggy in the am. i had my partner wear nose strips for sleeping and I put in ear plugs in. And lock the bedroom door. with out the melatonin I cant sleep till sometimes 12 or even late as 2am and with my usual difficulty of getting up early at 8am when I have to actuallt work in the morning.

I always feel so groggy amd achy in the am Maybe partially due to a bad bed. Its so hard not to just fall baxk aslee. I habe to force mtself out of bed. My eyes are always sensitive at night and in the am to the light. Somtimes my eyes get watery at night or am. like right now my right eye has a little water.

Also recently I have been driving myself as my car finally got fixed a while ago. So that is a plus.

what changes should I look for to see if sepia is helping me?

I still feel sadness and feeling of non caring. I just wanted to lay down after work and do nothing. I will keep updating. Thanks.

You should have let me know you have already had it. Obviously with cases that have been under other practitioner's care, we can end up going down the same unsuccessful paths. I would have chosen the other remedy instead in that case.

However, you have taken it now. Let's see what it does. Can you tell me how you took the Sepia 200c last time, how many times etc.

Im sorry I thought I out that at the beginning of this case that my presvious homeopath gave me sepia.
He gave me this in the beginning of 2013.
 
beth88 9 years ago
I took sepia like you said one week ago.

With 2013
It was sepia 200c.
He did the homeopathics differently.

He had me take it 3x a day. Until I saw improvement or an aggrevation which then meant healing response.

Did he do things wrong?
He is very old and about to retire. He is a naturopath and homeopath. Main focus is the homeopathy. I recently met a naturopath dr at a fair that said she offers homeopathy and only studied a several units in naturopathic medicine school.

I wonder how many naturopathd Say they practice and dont really know what they are doing. This is unfair as you can only legally practice homeopath if you are also a naturopath. I think this is a very big concern that needs to be addressed in the homeopathy community.

I followed your advice exactly. I wait for your direction.

Hi Beth-

Every state has their own laws
on who is licensed to practice
in the USA. One has to research
the person's education and experience and then find out
if they follow Hahnemann or
what they are following.It is
very confusing out there.

Would be good to let Evocationer know
the results you had with the previous
dosing schedule.

I am just upset that in the US that you have to be a certifid practioner to legally practice which means 3-4 years, clinical hours and exam. And yet in this state I am in says it is illegal to practice homeopathy unless you are also a dr. I just do not get how these 2 can contradict each other.

Not to mention there are naturopathic drs that misrepresent homeopathy, can potentially have patients have unhappy results and thus giving homeopathy a bad name and could actually bring harm.

Of course it makes sense that my state has these laws. It is one of the top insurance capitals of the world where mainstream medicine and money is focused on the pharmaceutical and medical profits then helping people get healthy. Just making money off of sick people.

I took sepia long ago (abour 2 years ago and I am not sure how many doses I took.

Then I recently took the dose of Sepia as instructed by Evocationer.
 
beth88 9 years ago
I agree. It is very confusing and one must do there research.

This is my doing on lack of understanding when I Originally received treatment of homeopathic medicine.

I guess the lesson is everyone should do their homework.

I jusf wish their was an advocate group for this matter.

I do not think drs should be able to offer homeopathic treatment unless they are certified as a homeopath. That is like a dr taking a small course in acupuncture then sticking needles in patients giving full acupuncture treatments. Sorry for my upsettness about this but I feel strong about this and wanted to voice my opinion about this.
 
beth88 9 years ago
The entire thing is a mess.

First you have people who barely know anything-
chiropractors, naturopaths who took minimal courses,
and they prescribe remedies as if they are vitamin
supplements.

Then you have people who are homeopaths but are doing
protocols similar to allopathic and people who are
using machines to choose the remedy and make the remedy.

After that there are people with experience but
none of them agree on using LM's, using wet dosing vs.
dry dosing, combo remedies and prescribe remedies
that have no real proving done on them. This includes
famous homeopaths.I like Dr. Luc, he is retired
but you can read his education pages on the web,if you have
to go to a homeopath in person again, I would go to
someone who works like he does.

Very good insight. I agree.
 
beth88 9 years ago
It's a situation the pharmaceutical companies are quite happy with. This level of disagreement and discord plays into their hands quite nicely.

If more credibility was given to homoeopathy, there might be more pressure applied by governments to have standardized training and ongoing practitioner assessment. As it is, in many countries, since the authorities, even society generally, doesn't believe homoeopathy works anyway, they let any old charlatan practice it.

Having said that, the real issue is not that people do so many things (at least not in terms of the actions of the qualified homoeopaths actually practicing proper homoeopathy) but that we cannot seem to accept that multiple methods will work in different situations and with different patients.

Flexibility is a valuable, in fact a necessary, quality of a good homoeopath. I use the methods, ideas and concepts put forward by many different homoeopaths, and I have found them useful in specific situations.

I went to an excellent seminar by Dr. Rajan Sankaran. He spent an entire day forcing the audience to look at cases in different ways - repertory, key notes, pathology, sensation, miasm and so on. He was making the point that you cannot rigidly stick to one way of doing things, that patients and human health is so complex and individual that you must be able to adapt to the patient you see before you.

This makes sense.

So I am not sure if Sepia has taken on effect yet. I will reply back to let you know.

Why would yoy have given me the other one over Sepia?

What is the differences relevant to my case?
 
beth88 9 years ago
If a remedy has been used and not helped, unless there are good reasons to try again (picture of the patient has significantly changed, doubt about quality of medicine, wrong potency or dosage used, poor reporting by patient or poor follow up by practitioner etc.), you usually don't go back to that remedy. That is the main reason I would probably have given a different remedy.

Sometimes though, it is good to revisit them. You never know - if the remedy looks really good you can avoid it without good reason and the patient might miss a remedy they need. I know I have seen this occasionally - patients have sworn that the remedy didn't help, but my prescription of the same remedy does. Timing can be important.

So perhaps it is a necessary step, at least to eliminate the remedy from the list of possible remedies.

Sepia, as the polycrest of the Cephalapods, will always show for more symptoms, just because it is the one everyone knows best, and has the most information recorded about it. In any analysis, it will be at the top of the list.

Anyway, let's see what happens first, and then decide how to proceed. It is still a very broad acting medicine and does have similarity to your case.

Im not sure if it has helped or not.

I still seem to have this meloncholy feeling. My fiance has the week off so I sde him during tbe day then have work at night. Amd it seems that even then I do not want to do much.

I have been pushing us to get outside and walk in nature. The sun feels really good.

At work I seem to pick up when I feel I am connecting to customers and helping. I especially feel super happy when they thank me for help or tell my boss which happens a lot.

I did have 2 days where I had a lot of pain in my stomach and one day with looser stools. And I had one day where I freaked out because I thought my fiancd changed plans for us and I have anxiety around paying bills, doctors etc. I eventually calmed down and was not feeling as reactive or panicky. And he went and took care of it for me. Which helped me not feel so stressed.

I am not very good with basic things like bills, apts etc. Like responsabilities give me a lot of anxiety and I push off till the end, procrastinate, avoid and cancel apts sometimes. I have gotten better over time.

The other time I got upset and a freak out was different. I saw something that reminded me of his ex and what happened last year. This really stirred the pot. I havd been pretty good this padt month or so. But this really set me into being really angry again and hurt by him. I got very vocal with him saying how I felt he did not care about me at the time and never really did something super special to make up for what he contributed an let go on for so long with her.

Afterwards I told him I was sorry for being that way. And sometimes stuff from my past comes up and retriggers feelings and things replayibg in my mind and me feeling really sad or angry.

But other then those 2 times I have just been feeling sad. Or want to zone out to tv and not do too much.
 
beth88 9 years ago
Let's keep waiting. I want you to be sure either it has OR it hasn't made a change of some kind.

One thing that may happen, and in a way it will be a good thing if it does, is that in response to the Sepia your true state will become more visible or louder.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok thank you. I will wait
 
beth88 9 years ago
It seems every 3 days I go into a cycle of feeling really angry.

Everything at my work is going super great. I feel appreciated and values. I excel at my job. i am very knowledgeable and great with being able to help the customers and am able to multitask and confidently navigate myself there on a daily basis.

I just have a lot of anger and fustration about the whole getting back out there and teaching again. I guess because of various circumstances (health, relationship problems, some ptsd things that came up and also some other people pushing me out of the circle of teaching at different places -I am shocked at how many of these health healing people are competitive and cut throat) it is a real challenge being able to get mtself back out there again.

Sometimes I feel scared bur I think most of it is the fact thaf I am holding on to this anger of being wronged by these people. I felt taken advantage of, manipulated and stomped on by these other people in addtion to my fiances ex situation with him believing her over me and that turning into a downward spiral of depression because he had such a difficult time giving up a friendship with someone I blatently knew was trying to crush our relationshio and she admitted to doing so in the end when he cut her out of his life for good.

I also feel fustrated because I changed myself to make him happy and stopped being my bubbly self becaause he was more of an introvert and was over worried about a lot. Then over time between these different things I became more and more isolated ans withdrawn.

So as much as I have made great strides which I work super hard every day to grow and overcom these things, and I feel good at work and now have a few friends I still have all this fustration and do not even know how to get to feeling good about the idea of teaching or feel comfortable with dealing with these kind of situations again as of now.

As for my family for quite awhile I just have been building more and more boundaries. I keep talking to them at a minumum because they are too needy and I really need to focus on myself. So I help them when my energy is good and I realistically can have time to help them.

My relationship has started to progress forward in some ways.

Now thar I think of if if the Sepia did do anything I guess I can see how much anger I sometimes still have with my fiance for his actions (I know he was having his own wmotional difficulty with letting go of his ex but I still felt it was selfish- he even aditted thaf he was giving my left over scraps for attention and love -and the biggest insult it that when he cut her out he mwas upset for 2 months, all sad and saying it was like a family member died- which to me I feel insulted!

I still have not put back on the engagement ring.

I am just so fustrated that most of my life I tried to please others and focus on them instead of myself. I had to work so hard and stuggle to get where I was with my yoga and healing business and then it all fell apart between competitive people and my fiance saying there was not enough time for us and a bit of jealousy and worry because he was not social like me.

I remember when I went to Las Vegas and Asheville and I how I felt in my prime, in my element and I thrivs off of that.

Then I came back to Ct from Vegas and was bedridden for the summer. I think this whole thing with the yoga studios and the insecurities from my fiancs brought on my being sick that summer and then the next spring/summer just completely annihilated me completely.

After that I felt like I was completely nothing. I was so far from who I used to be. My light was blown out. At that point I could not even reaoly reach out for support.

I just feel so sad and angry.

Really the family thing is so little importance compared to my fustrations to what happened between my partner and I and how the career went downhill.

I feel like I missed out on so much time where I could have grown and expanded as a person. I misses out on precious lif. I feel jealous of the other people in my community that having thriving businessEs. And it terrible that Im not there shining not only because of other people pushing me out of the circle but also becauss I lost myself and gave up my life style to make my fiance feel more comfortable.

Even though I have let go of a lot with him I still can not let go of being angry with him. And sometimes we do not match up and he does not care as deeply as I do about the environment or eatinf healthy and stuff like that.

Anyways this is where I am at.

I wish I was at work right now instead of home at least I feel there my life has actual meaning and I feel fulfilled making a huge difference and getting acknowledged and appreciated for my passion and abilities for beinf able to help people with their health!

I feel so heart broken and just want to close off to people. I feel so sad inside and cried tonight. I feel shut down. My breathing is slow. i just want to zone out and this s ucks
 
beth88 8 years ago
Today Im doing ok I guess.

Also on and off I get these little bumps on some of my toes. They are super tiny and have clear liquid in them. I was itching them last nighT. Also on and off my hands get itchy.
 
beth88 8 years ago
What do you mean by ok?
 
Evocationer 8 years ago
Ugg I mean ok as some days are not as bad. Last night I felt sad again but I guess I feel fustrated by being asked what does ok mean. Truth said usually when i say I am feeling fine I am really not. Ok means not terrible but I guess I still dont have a lot of motivation On most days. I do try to push myself if I have the energy to go outside though. I just want to zone out and not do much when Im home. A lot of sadness comes at different points but Im doing the best I can to do things that help me stay as calm and stress free as possible.thats all. I dont really feel better.
 
beth88 8 years ago
I barely ate anything all day today. Just layed in bed and cried a 1/2 hr ago. I think I felt worse today because it was the end of my fiances vacation. I should be happy because its birthday but it was cold and rainy all day. And I wanted to go out to get stuff to make him a nics meal but it was too depressing outside and cold outside and inside.
 
beth88 8 years ago
That is what I am asking about then - if ok means you are feeling better. If ok means the same, then that is not ok :)

So, if I look at the reports since taking the Sepia, I can see the following picture emerging. It may be as a result of taking the Sepia which has some similarity to it.

Periodicity
Dwells on past disagreeable occurrences
Recalls disagreeable memories
Grief from deception
Ailments from disappointment
Grief/Sadness from disappointed love
Hatred of persons who have offended
Desire for solitude from sadness

This picture is 100% Nat-mur, which is a remedy that had appeared in my previous analysis of your case as well. It is also a differential with Sepia, and a complementary remedy to it.

Alongside it, although not as strong, are Phosphoric acid,and Aurum. Overall I feel Nat-mur matches your current state more exactly.

Can you get 200c and take a single dose as you did with the Sepia?
 
Evocationer 8 years ago
Yes. My fiance has some left from his apt he had a year ago from dr. I will take one dose Nat mur 200c
 
beth88 8 years ago
How has that dose been stored? Is it liquid or pillules?
 
Evocationer 8 years ago
Pills. It has been stored in the house. Temperature is never above 70 degrees in house. Not sure of all the details. Also he told me that the dr I saw also gave me nat mur a year before him. The dr I saw gabe me only polycrest remedies and now I wonder what exactly his training entailed or his method was. I hope that going to see this dr so long ago did not cloud my case.

He also would say take 3x of the meds a day until improvment or aggravation and then take again when symptoms returned or things felt worse again.

I do follow your approach and directions though even though this dr did different.


((( last night I figured out I was upset because a friend that I considered real dear to me has not really been there for me and I acknowledged wifh my fiance how sad I realized I was.

I only have had 2 friendships in the past year that needed to transform. One with J.C. We had dated in the past and had cleared up things in January/February and grew our friendship but then he still had some of his tendencies to be unavailable for support.

I realized last night with the help of my fiance that I do not need to be angry and hurt by this friend just realize he can not be there for me the way I want this friend to be. And I don't owe this friend an explanation.

That I have other deep friends that are here for me. Like M and L who we did not see for a while but came to the party last night. They said we are going to hang out more.

And instead of cleaning my parents house today I am going to bake and make cookies with my friend L. I had another girl who I met a while ago and I told her I am always here for her. And she said shes never had a real friend. I feel lucky I have new friends and I realize there is no need to give any more chances to people in my past that consistently showed up as contributing unhealthy boumdaries amd dynamics.

I let them go knowing that even though I am moving forward and might feel guilty if I decline hanging out with them that I am making the right choice for me and I can still have faith in them that they will find their way and wish them peace.

Too much of my life has been worrying and feel like I was always upsetting people, dissapointing others, letting other down, that I was the problem.

I think it may have stemmed from my childhoo. Feeling like things must have been my fauly and that somethinf musf have been wrong with me. And I believed what kids said about me. I was not able to defend myself and no one stood up for me. I had to struggle to survive as a kid because of mt upbringinG. I was the peace keeper in fights and wanted to fix so much as a kid but it was not my job. But it ingrained in me that it was my faulT.

I suffered so much as a kid. I was social but the adhd stuff made flat like a zombie so it messed with my chances to become socialized because I was shut down from the meds on top of issues as home. And the kids picked on me. And one frjemd evetually would only be friends with me only outside of school. I would do anything to just have a friend.

And I think thats why all these years I kept pouring into energy into a lot of unhealthy friendships and relationships.

I did not want to give up on them like I did not want to give up on my family growing up and like others that gave up on me. And some of these people took advantage of my being this way.

I also did not want to be all alone. So I stayed or would go back to these dynamics or they have eventually showed in lesser degrees like my friend JC and ML but it was masked by them being spiritual and focused on love and the new age light.


So I can see more clearly that friends or relationships from my past were not my fault in the sense when they were mean to me or said things. The only thing that I did before which I am changing now is being mindful who and how much of my energy and love to.

In the past I have had a tendency to pour my heart and soul into friendships or relationships and it left me nothing. And I would loose myself and what mattered to me. I would loose my individuality, my shine and radiance. Becomd flat. I would be afraid of dissapointing others. I did not have healthy boundaries because I wanted to feel so much connection and wamrth and that feeling when you hug someone that I would pour out all my love.

Im happy I have true friends and I am starting to let go more of unhealthy dynamics with thos 2 friends and just let go of trying to invest so much energy and heart with people that are not able to reciprocate that back.

It takes a lot of stress off of me to let go more of these parts of my life. And focus on being mindful of my energy and making sure I am getting treated equally otheriwise I don't need to drain my energy because I deserve true friends and I deserve to be appreciate, respected and valued and if I am not then I can walk away knowing there is nothing wrong with me and be happy I am taking care of my needs.

That I matter too. :)

Thank you for continuing to help me out I really appreciate it.
