The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Please help

Hi,

I am writing this letter hoping that somebody out there might be able to help me to improve my health.
Somewhere , in July, I visited a homeopathic doctor to seek remedy for my anal fistulas, which I developed two years ago. After a couple of weeks got the remedy, Carcinosin 30C. Had 1 teaspoon of dissolved pellet, as instructed by the homeopathic doctor. Week after I went to the emergency. I was not feeling myself ,like on drugs.(I don't know how else to explain) .In four hours at emergency everything settled down. Blood pressure got down, hearth beat got normal. Electrolytes were normal.
August 20, Started another dose of the same remedy. I dissolved 1 pellet in ½ of cup of water and took 1 teaspoon, 3 days in a row. First day, couple hours after taking a remedy my upper lip went numb, then the lower one. That lasted for 3-4 hours. Second day had sensation in my left temple, numbness, which passed fast. Fourth day, I went to the emergency, left side of my face went numb. In 10 days I was at the emergency 6 times. Every time for different symptoms. Numbness in the lips, pressure in the chest, unbearable heart beats, tightness in the neck and left shoulder, pain above my breasts, pain in the armpits. All this time I was very nauseous, with gnawing pressure in my stomach.
Every time my blood electrolytes were normal. Did few times EKG, ECG, ultra sound of the neck arteries, heart X-ray....all came back normal.
I was for 10 days on the baby aspirin until the neurologist stopped it. He thought that I was having some kind of panic attacks and recommended seeing a psychologist. After 3 weeks my attacks became less frequent and milder.

I was very concerned for my health and wanted to antidote the remedy. The homeopathic doctor suggested Vicki’s rub which I spread on myself few times as well as inhaled some. One day I would be OK, then anxiety returns (or whatever it might be)

In the meantime I got another remedy, Silica 30 C, to antidote the previous one. Took only one teaspoon of the remedy. Got more nauseous, bigger, gnawing pressure in my stomach,light pain in my fistulas. For few days my lips were dry, skin around nails peeled. Week after I was better. Started working. No big attacks. I felt almost normal.
Three weeks later, bigger pressure in the stomach, tingling sensation in the left temple, light pressure in the eye, tingling/tightening around mouth, tightness in the chest. Developed redness on my bottom, like a diaper rush with cracks in the skin. I was not myself again. Could not function properly.
Started taking “Clonazepam” 0,25 mg. Stomach got much better, tightness in the chest lessened,as well as my facial sensations.

I don't feel OK being on this kind of drug. I know that creates dependency and has a lot side effects.
I have not been myself for a long time, since I took the first dose of the Carcinosin. Is my health damaged permanently? My homeopath give me instructions for Donna Eden Energy exercise, suggested Bach Flower Remedy, which made me more sick. I think that she helped how much she could.

Please, is there somebody to help me to safely restore my health?

I am 63 years old woman from Canada.

Some days this lasts for hours. Some other times goes in 5 minutes then comes back later.

All I know that I am not being myself since first time took “carcinosin”remedy. I have never before had this kind of feelings.How pain feels?Fearful .Sometimes comes with numbness in the left temple.Only my left side of face gets affected.
c)What are the factors that causes this trouble acc. to you.
I wish I knew. I believe that the remedy I took caused some kind imbalance in my body, brought symptoms I don't know how to deal with.

I could not find the pattern
f)Any other complaint any where in the body.
Anal fistula
g)Onset time of troubles in detail, i.e which came first, after that what problem and so on.
Two years ago I got constipated due traveling( changed my eating and drinking habits)after few days felt pain in my anus. I thought that I am having hemorrhoids . Did not go to see a doctor because I get so silly embarrassed showing my private parts.Developed an abscess, in my left buttock. Finally a surgeon cut it to drain. Got some antibiotics, twice. The wound healed, but the pain remains. Afraid of going to see the doctor again I started applying plantain leaf poultice( use it in my home country for abscesses).Two fistulas opened, a lot of pus came out. Took me whole month of applying plantain for pus to get out.
h)Treatment method adopted and its result.
Two years later due the constipation and very hard stools the same thing happened. The same position.The doctor cut to drain. Got some antibiotics. After the procedure, I thought that I was going to die due the cold, shaking sensations.The bacteria got into the bloodstream. I have 3 fistulas. One is inside my rectum. That is the one get infected whenever I had constipation with hard stools. The second one is in my anus. This one is still producing a pus. Thick, yellow pus. I see this one in the mirror when stretch my anus gently. The position is 12 o'clock. The third one is above the anus. I think that the second, and the third fistulas are blind. This is my interpretation, have been reading about this for a long time. They were the main reason for me to seek homeopathic remedies.

no major health issues, i think you should relax more to get good quatilty sleep,

take CALCAREA CARBONICA 200,2 drops in a tablespoon water, only 2 dose not more than that, not daily, 1st dose before sleep and next dose next morning after wakeup, dnt eat or drink anything 30 minutes b4 or after medicine,

report how you felt in your mental freshness after 20 days of stopping the course,

also do some exercises like SURYA NAMASKAR (google it or youtube) 5 TIMES DAILY for proper blood flow in whole body,

BHRAMARI PRANAYAM (google it or youtube) 10 TIMES DAILY for mental freshness and proper sleep,

Thanks.

Thank you very much, homeo.mzp for the advice.
My understanding is that I need to get a liquid form of this remedy.Right?
Is it safe to continue with my meds for the anxiety since I can't stop without tapering it slowly?

Regards to you !
