Belladonna for teeth grinding - has given aggravation - can anyone advise?

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone could help me,
I have recently taken Belladonna 30C as I grind my teeth during sleep. I have done so for a long time but in the past 3 months it has become bad enough that recently I get aches in my jaw during the day, and can see my bottom teeth slowly being moved out of place - over time.

I live in a place without many homeopathic clinics at all, and where traditional medicine is given out like candy. I recently became quite deteriorated by a bout of bronchitis and I ended up having to go to a doctor (mainly because my family and I became worried due to how long the cough had been without curing). I was prescribed a strong antibiotic for 4 days (the prescription was 7 days) I stopped it due to ridiculous reactions - I was depressed, unable to move, vertigo, no energy at all - and the cough barely cleared. Prior to that I hadn't really had anything more than a painkiller in over 2 years - only homeopathic remedies. But this was the first time I take belladonna... Calc carb. was prior but it hadn't been long enough between that dose and the antibiotics to truly tell if there was progress.

Following the 4 days on antibiotics is when much more intense teeth grinding began and the pain in the jaw started, as well as a serious increase in my anxiety levels.

The Belladonna, which I took both acutely for teeth grinding and menses pains, gave a great initial reaction - I slept great. Followed by a horrible 2-3 days of being intensely low and depressed, irritability and sad with a sort of forsaken feeling. I then woke up feeling much less emotional, but developed thrush about the genitals which just burns and itches beyond belief. I usually suffer this following my period - but this it feels very very aggravated and I wonder if this is due to belladonna..

Can anyone advise whether in their opinion belladonna is working here? I am not sure if I need perhaps a higher potency (perhaps I'm being flushed out of prior illness and emotion...) or it's just the wrong remedy and I'm going deeper into pathology..

Thank you

You took Calcarea Carb first right? For what complaint?

Dear Dr. Thoufeeque

It was prescribed constitutionally for weakening memory, ailments from winter weather, lethargy, anxiety.. Prior to that I had had Sulphur and Pulsatilla before that - taking Aconite when necessary for anxiety/panic attacks. And then a year and a half or so before Calc carb for mastitis of one breast - which had a miraculous overnight cure (I had had the condition for 4 months without anything working) - this was my first experience with homeopathic remedies.

My complaints for the pulsatilla prescription and sulphur were predominantly of a psychological nature - aversion to people, lack of confidence, inability to exercise even though there is desire etc. Coupled with chronic bronchitis and overall vital weakness.
There is also cystic acne (sparse but painful) and hidradenitis suppurativa (which disappeared without recurrence somewhere between the aconite and sulphur i think) - cystic acne remains occasionally on buttocks, jawline and cheeks (one or two coming with menstrual cycle)..

Thank you

1. Age: 30

3. Built up:obese/moderate/slim - very slim, athletic build (smaller hips) difficult to gain weight [as a child was the opposite entirely - change occurred around age 18 ]
4. Complexion: fair,dark - pale skin (mediterranean undertone - takes tan relatively easily although pale), dark hair (darkblond as child)
5. Occupation: lawyer, vocalist, entrepreneur
6. List out all your complaints with its duration,location,sensation etc:in an order
ANS: From most recent…
Thrush - outer genitals - sore, swollen, itchy especially in bed - cannot wear underwear [however does occur after period]
Anxiety with panic attacks - trembling, shortness of breath,
sometimes caused by excitement, usually when confronting someone or being confronted, sometimes even from just telling someone about a prior incident; it can come from thoughts, and from not being able to understand a situation. It used to only come in the form of stage fright before having to sing in public. Over the past 2 years it has developed so I can no longer control the visible signs of it (trembling, shortness of breath) - this has begun to hold me back from interacting or confronting people.
Grinding teeth during sleep; more recently (2-3weeks) day-time clenching
Discolouration of skin on face only - brown on forehead and temples; cheeks and nose pale; darkness under eyes
Dry, flaky skin on forehead and hands (between fingers)
Piles - internal, only painful from time to time when they protrude
Cystic acne on cheeks; comedones on chin, cheeks and around nose; scarring from deep pimples

7. Worsening factors like-by pressure,what time,heat,cold,season,food,eating,after sleep,by sweat,,by stooping,after stool & urine,after bathing etc.?
ANS:
Worse from cold, and damp/wet, except with a rash which, if itches, will be alleviated by pressing an ice cold water bottle (same for migraine)
Worse from dark, fear of dark, don’t like walking in it
Worse in winter (unless in a place with lots of sunlight - snow to look at - and if its warm inside)
Worse from not eating (but often will skip meals because sometimes also worse from eating - gastro)

8. When Its Better—like by pressure,what time,by heat, by cold, any season,any food, eating,after sleep,by sweat,after stool & urine ,after bathing etc.?
ANS:
Better by pressure and heat - example: menses pain needs either hot hot application, or to have heavy pressure applied to abdomen
Better in summer - sunlight
Better in the morning
Better after bathing (sometimes will avoid if its too cold to get wet and room cannot be heated)
Better from sleep
Better from hot drinks (but cool water - not ice cold though it hurts teeth)

9. Mind:sensitive/angry/sad/weeping/fear of etc.,memory,desire company,grief,lewd etc.
ANS:
Memory is scatty - sometimes a little disconnected/confused, mixing up dates or locations of events (but good with academics)
Sensitive to things others say; tendency to overthink; over analyse
Tendency to become demotivated and lazy — sometimes I dislike this very much but cannot overcome it
Timid around new people, but then can open up - becoming chatty - sometimes wish this was easier with strangers as am witty but will hold back witty comments as am unsure of myself
High achieving academically but low self esteem
Many fears - used to be very scared of dogs and the dark, robbers as well - used to worry someone was hiding in the house (grew up first years of life in a very unstable country where this was a very real fear - still find it hard to be alone in a big house or a big house with two or more floors) — at same time often have a desire to be alone to recuperate or to play music loud or practice singing (in day time usually)

10. Thermal:which weather do you prefer hot or cold? Which is intolerable?

ANS: Motion sickness if reading or concentrating on something while in anything moving

Leucorrhea thick white, will cause itching and burning if left without bathing (stains underwear)


12. Stool:regular,quantity,frequent urging,satisfied,bleeding?
ANS:
Usually diarrhoea often, stool frequent (every morning, and after lunch or eating heavy) - after belladonna constipation with urging and very little stool for 4 days

15. Sweat:profuse,scanty,offensive,stains
ANS: During heat profuse on back of thighs if sitting; on back

25. List out all medicines you have taken till now and changes it made:
ANS: Past 2-3 years
Homeopathic:
Calccarb (this is 90%, the homeopath I saw did not write down what he had given me and told me this from memory): major relief from 4 months of swollen breast, over night relief, with initial diarrhoea very intense, running nose, even some drooling during sleep, became very tired, when I woke up swelling and tissue of breast was completely back to normal. Changes in behaviour, quit job and moved following this.
Ignatia (acute - loss of family member) : great relief and strength of mind
Pulsatilla - changes in skin condition but aggravation of bronchial problems, not much alleviation for mental symptoms, began to see deterioration with more anxiety symptoms
Aconite (acute - anxiety): relief and sort of relaxation, but temporary
Sulphur: unsure of any reaction
Calc carb: mind and memory more sound, night sweating may have stopped soon after, felt strong but soon developed the bronchial cough again which caused the visit to the doctor and antibiotics (listed below)
Belladonna: 2 days of sadness and extreme emotions (forsaken feeling), aggravation of thrush, aggravation in anxiety levels - not sure if grinding has stopped, but has lessened

Other:
Clarithromycin 500mg (prescription of 7 days - took for 4) - horrible reaction, slight change in cough and then cough became heavy with a lot of mucus coming up (clear/white or light brown in color); no energy, vertigo, depression/sadness


26. Any other things which you think it make you unique from others ..
Sometimes feel like am clairvoyant.. often through dreams. Feel have an innate understanding of how people feel (sometimes dislike if am not understood) - but not sure how real this feeling may be, could be only assuming to understand.
Sometimes a little bit of a neat freak, but can also have moments where I don’t care (as a child was very messy), now can become a little upset by mess (especially when made by others)

If I’ve missed anything please let me know. Thank you again

Sorry one more complaint. About a year ago I had a very intense cough, which seems to have caused some vocal damage. I have about 3-4 notes now missing from my upper vocal range - all other notes are perfect, but these almost sounds like air passing between two reeds - they are just gone.
My speaking voice has become hoarser ever since, often with mucus getting caught at the back of the throat which I have to clear my throat to loosen - it can also happen when I am singing now. Although there was improvement following the pulsatilla, it never cured..

I was just about to write and ask if i could take aconite since I am suffering from anxiety today and it is difficult to deal with - especially from thoughts.
I do not have aconite 1m and will have to order it. I have 30c here at home - can I double dilute or take this some other way for now until I can get the 1m?

Thank you so much for your time
 
reb25 7 years ago
aconite 1m action is more quick and specific on this mental sphere..i prefer 1M OR 10M..

Hello Doctor,

Just to give you an update as to where I am now. Following the aconite my anxiety totally disappeared for 24 hrs, I became very relaxed and clear headed.
The next day I took Calc and I developed a sore in my left nostril, it scabbed and had a smell - like an infection like impetigo. It was very sore the first through days, and only begun to clear up yesterday. Now it no longer hurts, but there is quite a lot of mucus discharge (yellow in colour).
My cough also changed - it didn't clear - but has moved up from deep into my chest and is now much higher up (constantly scratching the throat), there is also mucus that easily comes up into the mouth when I cough - it is extremely thick, sort of like glue, and it feels like glue stuck in my throat and wind pipes. It's very scratchy but doesn't seem to be fully clearing..

Mentally, for the first 3 days I saw and felt a MASSIVE improvement - so much so I actually started to leave the house and go walking whenever anxiety surfaced - which I found to be exceedingly helpful in alleviating the symptoms of anxiety. I started meditating and becoming very aware of my chakras and where I have blockages. I also had this strange experience with a crystal I had apparently kept for over 20 years, without realizing why or where it was...I was prompted to rediscover it and prompted to move further into healing.

Although I have had such a great alleviation, I do now have anger that surfaces more than before (before was more sadness, self-doubt, depression), now I have some anger which pops out.

Would love to hear your insight, and whether you recommend another homeopathic subscription. Thank you very much for helping me so far, the aconite has definitely lifted some of that anxiety, but it's not completely gone..

Oh sorry one more thing regarding skin - my forehead has become flakey (although there is a shine that would appear greasy/oily - the skin is flaking as if dry). There are a few pimples coming out on my right cheek, jawline and chin...they are red and oily looking with yellow pus. The cystic acne I had on my jawline prior has dried up, but it still looks like dried pus is in inside.

Thrush is also still present - it went away and came back, but not as aggressively this time, much more manageable.
 
reb25 6 years ago
Wait for one or two days and repory back..without any medicine..i hope the complaints you have will reduce on its own...be patient please..

Hello,

Severe regression in symptoms.

Left nostril extremely sore and itchy, has hard crusts attached to the inside which hurt alot. When removed, they just come back. Bright yellow (strange colour).

My cough is also very bad, and I have never quite had a cough like this (even though all the years of chronic bronchitis). The mucus in my chest is extremely thick and heavy and feels as if it has covered my windpipe and lungs. It feels heavy and gets caught when I cough, it doesn't really come up easily although sometimes I will cough and thick mucus will come up into my mouth.

I am not sue if I have also begun to grind my teeth again, but my jaw isn't relaxed in the morning.

I would really like to use Fucidin or some other type of medication in my nose, as the symptoms are worrying me...

Please help!
