The ABC Homeopathy Forum

52 year old female with multiple symptoms

Menopausal - Night Sweats, waking every hour, no libido, high blood pressure, weight gain, finger joint stiffness and swelling... Have taken several consitutional remedies with little to no relief. Started with Sulfur, Calc Carb, Nat Mur, Phos. Originally Sulfur helped the hot flashes, but then I started to prove the remedy. Looking for any recommendations going forward
