The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Explosive headache in my sleep
This is quite odd, and happened now 2 nights in a row. The first night I was woken by an explosive headache that started at the front of my forehead and split all the way to the back of my head, like an axe gone through the centre of my head. Within a minute or two it happened again, then it stopped and I went back to sleep. It happened again last night, the same 2 times, woke me up from my sleep. I do know that last night it happened somewhere between midnight and 6am. Then in the morning I still have a small dull ache across my forehead on waking. I may have bought this on by aggrevating my neck during the week, but I thought Id also try here. Major event going on in my life right now is a marital separation.AusAlly on 2014-07-23
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This is the kind of peculiar case I enjoy solving. I notice you have given your case previously but no prescription was made. Since I am also treating your child, did you want me to take your own case on as well?

HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS (Physical Components)
In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or a cough would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard. Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.
LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.
SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.
WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:
Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.
DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge in detail including colour, consistency, appearance, odour etc.

So I have a lot of complaints, but we might just start with the headache. I think the mental and emotional state responses may answer some questions.
AusAlly 9 years ago
LOCATION: Starting at the forehead, in the middle then made its way stright through the centre of my head to the back of my heed, like splitting the brain in half. On waking its in my forehead.
SENSATION: felt explosive, came fast and went fast. lots of pressure and burning, not like heat but how you would feel with an explosion. it was fast and I felt it move from the front to the back of my head with detail.
Just stood up fast and my whole brain pulsed, almost like a balloon in my brain pushing things out, about 5 times then I sat down and it went away
WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:
I had no reaction to grab my head, I just stayed completely still until it was over.
DISCHARGES: nil
1] Your Complaint:
What is your complaint? Headache
When did the complaint begin? 3 mights ago
Where is it located? across my forehead and straight down the centre of my head
What sort of sensations (and emotions) do you associate with it? NIL
When does it tend to occur (time/day) between midnight and 6am, and on waking
Does anything make it better or worse? no
How does it bother you? How is it coming in way of your day-to-day life? NIL
How does it feel like to have this/these problem/s? NIL
What is the effect of this/these problem/s on you? NIL just the pain
Did any event happen which caused the complaint? Describe the emotion associated with it.
The major event in my life right now is a relationship breakdown. I feel I am dealing with this quite well as I wanted this, but money is the main stress right now, how I will survive and feed my kids and keep a roof over their head.

I have been accused of having affairs - unjust, I dont deserve this and his claims are ludicris.

My sibling dying when I was 6 and she 16. I went though depression as a teenager I think this was tightly related as I couldnt understand why I lived past 16 and she didnt. I would sleep all day only get up to eat, a short walk would exhaust me. A homeopath helped me through this with Opium.

Dogs- I wont leave my house if there is a dog in the street, I expect it to be vicious and attack me. This has stopped me from taking my kids to the park. This stems from my brother getting some kind of pig dog to attack me when I was a child, and he held it back from my face by its collar. It was some kind of joke between him and his mates. he was 10 years older than me.
Bees/wasps - I try to stay clam, but I left a childrens party last week because there was a bee in the hall. I pretty much run.
Men - I see all men I dont know as predators.
flying - Just the thought of flying and I see the plane crashing, and my children in the crash, so I put off holidays.
Driving long distances - I think something bad will happen so will put off holidays.
A long time ago I was terrified of leaving my house, it was just so scary. I would drive past a shop 3 times, and not be able to go in, just drive home. This was me somehow thinking I was faulty, that people were looking at me, that I was disfigured. I went through some counselling which helped me.
5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?
I have no hobbies. I used to draw until I was given a bad grade in school for Art, then I gave up.
6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they? No
7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?

16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?
quiet and shy. I would ask my mum before I would take anything from the fridge, as if a child needs to ask to eat!
If I lost sight of my mum in a shop or anywhere I would lose it!, completely break down. If she didnt pick me up on time from a party or school, I would lose it.
17. What kind of environment did you grow up in? What problems where there at home, with your family, with your parents, with your siblings, with school?
parents were alcoholics, there was violence and abuse. This scared me a lot, any type of situation that had anger would scare me. I was scared of my dads reactions to anything. He would just go off at the drop of a hat, and My mum was in the firing line, (not us kids)This was from the first of my memories to when I left home at around 16. This combined with my depression made life pretty hard. I wanted to kill myself as a teenager on many occassions. It also made me grow up pretty quick. I hated alcohol and anyone who drank it, then I turned 18 and drank 5/7 nights for maybe 3 years.
I have been controlled for years - ive had my self esteem taken away, im unable to make decisions for myself because for years Ive been told I cant.
I have been accused of having affairs - unjust, I dont deserve this and his claims are ludicris.

This combined with my depression made life pretty hard. I wanted to kill myself as a teenager on many occassions. It also made me grow up pretty quick. I hated alcohol and anyone who drank it, then I turned 18 and drank 5/7 nights for maybe 3 years.

I just updated my sensations but it doesnt show in the forum there has been an edit, so Ill paste it here
SENSATION: felt explosive, came fast and went fast. lots of pressure and burning, not like heat but how you would feel with an explosion. it was fast and I felt it move from the front to the back of my head with detail.
I Just stood up fast and my whole brain pulsed, almost like a balloon in my brain pushing things out, about 5 times then I sat down and it went away

This is actually a somewhat complex case - there are a lot of symptoms here (I managed to get 3 full foolscap pages!). I am working now to find an angle to view them all from (find the core of this case).
♡ Evocationer 9 years ago
Alright this is how I repertorized the case:
Face, picking, lips
Fear of poverty
Ailments from domination
Ailments from reproaches (accusations)
Ailments from being abused
Ailments from fright
Fear of men
Fear of strangers
Fear something terrible will happen
Biting nails
Undertakes many things perseveres in nothing
Yielding
Irresolution
Desires coffee
Desires hot drinks
Aversion to milk
Menses suppressed
This gave me a group of remedies to consider. The remedies which appeared in the most symptoms were:
Carcinosin
Lachesis
Nat-mur
Nux-vomica
Arsenicum
Nitric acid
Phos-ac
Phosphorous
Stramonium
So I looked at these remedies and the smaller more specialised rubrics which might shift the balance of choice between them.
Nux-v:
Head, shocks, forehead, as with an axe
Carc:
Head, pain, pulsating, deep inside
Ailments from domination for a long time
Ailments after being abused with indignation
Ailments from severe fright
Ailments from long lasting fright
Weakness from grief
Fear something will happen to his family
Stramonium:
Ailments from domination for a long time
Delusion dogs attack him
Delusion people are animals (creative interpretation of 'Men are predators')
Nat-mur:
Fear, because of previous fright
Fear of flying in an airplane
Arsenicum:
Fear of flying in an airplane
Nitric acid:
Delusion dogs will attack him
Mouth, biting, cheeks
Perspiration, staining brown
To me, this brings out a clear swing towards the remedy Carcinosin. Could you obtain 200c, in a liquid dose?

I can get it in pillule. Can put in water or alcohol, whichever you suggest. As i was writing it, I can see a real pattern of fear of attack.
AusAlly 9 years ago
The fear of attack really stood out for me as well. I didn't pursue it at this point because of the indications for other remedies, but there is a rubric in our repertories 'Fear of being attacked' and Carcinosin is one of the medicines listed.

If you have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.
1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand
2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water
3. Stir very thoroughly
4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.
This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.
One dose only to begin with.
