new case for kadwa or rishimba

If you would be so kind as to help to pinpoint a remedy for my symptoms, it would be much appreciated. I've had different homeopaths prescribe different constitutional remedies and I am confused. Thank you.

Sex: Female
Age: 45

1. Describe your main suffering? Digestive issues including gastritis, extremely low energy (maybe thyroid?), PMS – bloating, breast tenderness, extreme sensitivity, ringing in ears, and the biggest one is INSOMNIA…I have trouble sleeping and most supplements will cause me to stay awake all night.


2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? Pressure in ears, can’t focus, lack of motivation to get anything done (really severe right now). Very sleepy all day, but as soon as I go to bed I am wide awake. Pain at occipital area that moves through ears and teeth and into the face. Eyes feel puffy. Sometimes tightness at thyroid area. Nerve pains in right hip. No libido. Tingling in feet and sometimes in arms too. Pin prick sensations in my right calf. My abdomen is always a bit distended, no matter what I eat. I am not too gassy, but fruit makes me gassy. I look a few months pregnant.



3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? Depression (a hopeless kind of depression), fears of illness, fear my cat is going to die, not wanting to “be here” on the planet. Isolation – I don’t want to be around any people. In fact, I get very agitated and irritable around people.


4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Irritable and weepy at the same time.


5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease? I had many vaccines 10 years ago and a dental surgery where the antibiotics messed up my gut. Over the years I have chelated heavy metals, got the viral load under control, addressed chronic fatigue. I’ve never been able to heal my gut, and I just recently started having gastritis.


6. Which time of the day you are worst? It just gets worse as the day goes on. I might feel a bit better in the evening. They it gets worse in the middle of the night sometimes.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? I don’t know.


8. Do you think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)? I don’ t know.


9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather? I feel better in moderate climates, not too hot, not too cold, but I would choose hot over cold and dry over humid.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc. I am quiet, a perfectionist in my own home. Most people irritate me. I often say “people are stupid” – more out of annoyance/irritation than arrogance.

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm? I haven’t noticed.

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times? No, I want a solution to my problem. I often get mad with sympathy. I often need to clean and organize the house to feel better again.

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless weeping, talking to one self etc? I am addicted to chocolate, I love soup for breakfast, my house must be kept orderly and clean, I twirl my hair in my fingers, .

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife? I don’t want to be around anyone, except my husband. I feel better knowing I am not completely alone, that my husband is here, but I often don’t want to be around him. I can go to work and interact with people and be friendly, but as soon as work is done I isolate and go home.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly? Fears of my health situation, fear that my cat is going to die (she is not sick at all). I haven’t been recalling my dreams lately.


12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions? Crave chocolate and soup. I like sour things, but I can’t eat them since I’ve gotten sick. I like spicy things, but I can’t eat them now with the gastritis. Onions disagree since I’ve gotten sick.
