This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
A homeopath had recently prescribed me Nat Mur 30C as the constitutional remedy but i have not started taking it till now.
Will do so if you think it is suitable.

Please don't take any remedy now and also stop the Zinc & cod liver supplement. Observe for a week and then update your symptoms.
These things are messing up the true symptoms.

Does Kali Brom 30C reduce the sex hormones?
