when my hands or toes get real tight which is almost always they kind of burn and curl in some
but i can work it out some by trying to place them flat or stretch them out. the tightness, especially face and core feels like a corset being tightened to the extreme. my depression can get deep those times and i give up all hope of recovery and

0antivirus0 8 years ago
Thank you. Is that my constitutional remedy? I'm a little scared, cause it seemed the lachesis caused a bit of aggravation but I'm not sure as my symptoms are so up and down from one sometimes hour to the next. I know it's part of the brain healing thing which my doctor said takes 6 months and in only 2
Months and 1 week into. I'll have to order online or see if my naturopath has alumina 200c. I wanted to tell you I woke up in a dream of a grandfather figure from 1983, meeting him in the now, and all of a sudden my body felt and acted 98% normal. I'm really happy about this dream, I know he came to help heal me. Thank you.
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
Thank you so much Alumina really seems to fit me as I am now. I'm excited about following your directions once I find some. Normally I seem to be lachesis but I'm not normal now with this brain injury.

please report as told.

Breathing-

Numbness & irritation of face-
Up & down, no improvement really
Any other change-
Side & left arm & hand numbness, heaviness & spasticity seems worse the last couple days, as if it's settling in
1/3 of stroke patients get this, my neurologist offered drugs, I'm giving my brain a chance to heal, I prefer no more drugs & im still slightly less than 3 months into this. My walking is better. Burnt arm & left side but especially hand & fingers is the part that is uncomfortable
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
So basically
Mood much improved
Walking improving
Face the same
Left arm & hand no improvement
But left leg & foot improved some

hawaiidionne 8 years ago

not daily,
do not engage in much excercises this time,

0antivirus0 8 years ago
Thank you!
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
I just you you tubed the yoga postures. I am unable to do much of it I don't have the strength or endurance. I wish I was at that point, but I'm not. Although my walk is improved I hardly walk more than around my small house & I have been just resting in bed. I have even had to cancel one of my 2 physical & occupational therapy appointments this last week as I've been tired & stiff. I know it's all a part of my brain healing but it does get sad when I cannot even come close to the yoga leg movements. I don't know what else to say. I saw my Naturopath this am who said more magnesium which I will be taking for the muscle stiffness. And drinking in my water throughout the day. I have an Iyengar Yoga book, perhaps I can try any reclining poses?
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
My neurologist called my muscle stiffness- spasticity. I believe she said I generally ahead in my ability to feel all parts of my feet, legs etc.
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
then you should not do much excersies, the remedy will slowy act to cure you.

regards,
antivirus
 
0antivirus0 8 years ago
Thank you
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
I didn't mention that my neurologist was finally able to see my records and said I'd had several strokes before. This will make my recovery atypical. I've noticed that & it's been confusing but also can be encouraging!
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
20 day report
Feeling calm-mostly better
Sleep-good
Energy-improving some,still resting a lot
Self control, good
Confidence-very good on days my body feels better
So so on not so great days
Freshness on waking- fine
Love & affection - good
Mental freshness- varies, better on days my body feels better
Breathing- fine
Numbness of face- up and down but always there. Can change within minutes, sometimes getting very tight to the point my lip & forehead will be above visually even my normal side ( this has been going on off & on for a couple months now) I am handling it a bit better but it doesn't feel good, then sometimes my lip will droop a bit still
Other change-walk improving, did well at physical therapy always showing some improvement, but shoulder very tight which seems to make my arm very tight, and hand, still very tight & a challenge to use although I can move through the tightness.
Generally improved in most areas, the tightness is my main concern, leg not so bad, but left arm & shoulder frustrating as is face but arm/hand is worse as face doesn't really affect anything but my arm affects my hand etc.
 
hawaiidionne 8 years ago
Once For a while the spasticity seemed to be changing for the better, then it comes back strong,
One day last week my left nostril was able to smell again, it just kinda had a tingling then all of a sudden I could smell - I hadn't even realized it wasn't functioning till it worked again! So that's good! Improvements just are happening so slowly and I have a really good day, then rest for 3 days. I'm ready for quicker improvements.

Calm- yes
Sleep- good
Proper energy level- improving, less tired & less quickly worn out at physical therapy
Self control- fine
Confidence- ok
Freshness on waking- good
Love & affection- good
Mental freedom or freshness- good, mental state steadily improving mostly
Breathing difficulty- none
Numbness & irritation on face- mostly same, fades a little at times & also strengthens too tight at times but much less than before. Slowly decreasing in overactive muscles but general tightness not improved a lot
Other changes- sometimes the muscle tightness in my side & leg has been increasing only on some days. Dr & physical therapist says this is normal as my brain is trying to make connections but is over firing certain muscles. but the tighter leg muscles make me walk much slower some days.
I will try a small dose of baclofen to see if it helps, I don't like taking drugs but the tightness, which is up & down is preventing me from moving well when it's strong.
I have strength but the pt is now working on moving quicker, trying to get my muscles to relax when they need,to not hinder my movements. I'm at the next step in the process now. My left arm is nearly the same as months ago, very tight, which is normal the pt says but after 4 months now I'm hoping it'll lessen. That would be nice. If the baclofen helped with that I'd be happy.
I wanted to thank you for your help. I know it is helping & look forward to hearing from you again. Aloha

Thank you! I forgot to mention I have been getting a few nerve impulses in my hand & fingers! I think that's good. And I can use my hand to do very simple things for a while now but no progression like my foot/leg do
