There is still lot of learning to be done by you all.
Let me tell you,there are meds to be given first and then another to follow....in some cases.
Little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

The spine is divided into three major regions based on the position that the vertebrae occupy within the spinal column:
1. Cervical Spine (Neck), C1-C7
2. Thoracic Spine (Upper Back), T1-T12
3. Lumbar Spine (Lower Back), L1-L5
Joyce Martino....your pain is in the lower back area (L 5).
A homeopath has to search for meds that benefit the lower back area.
Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

So sorry about the gender confusion. I just thought it was a woman I was talking to, don't know names from India.
You are very right, there is sooo much I don't know about homeopathy. But taking so many and also so many on a same day, I didn't know what was working.

Are you avoiding the nightshade foods (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc)? . These food are a huge contributors to making you stiff even in very small amounts. Wheat also is a huge contributors to the stiffness and pain
As you get better, you will be able to get away with eating small amounts of these foods occassionally.
I recently discovered that pineapple/coconut combination juice helps the stiffness on my back.
I was able to relate to a discussion Dr. Dean Adell gave on a television program recently on arthritis. He mentioned the above foods and wheat as activating arthritis and that pineapple has been found to be helpful.
In my case pineapple juice is not helpful at all but the combination pineapple/coconut juice is. Check with your health food stores. The ones here carry this juice usually for $2.66. Raley's carries a combination juice also for $3.00 or $2.50 on sale.
I have never been a juice drinker because the sugar bothers me but this combination juice is the only juice ever I have been able to drink.
It really helps keep my back limber.
write to me on my private e-mail, and I'll tell you about Rhux tox.

Jade,
Am looking forward to hearing from you as to how you integrate more than one remedy on one person.
Thank you.

Pat2006,
Pankaj is very correct, a little knowledge about homeopathy can be a dangerous thing. I am not an expert. I merely quoted from my materia medica. Lassitude is 'tiredness' or the desire to do nothing, weakness, desire to lie down.
If one wishes to seriously study and apply homeopathy even just to oneself, I strongly recommned purchasing a materia medica and a repertory. Then one can see in more detail if symptoms match the person. I also suggest finding a homeopath in your area and inquire about starting a study group. This is something I have participarted in over the years. It is very useful, informative and helpful in finding the correct remediesfor oneself, as well as learning about homeopathy in general.
As to integrating remedies, one must know which remedy might antidote another. This information can be found in most through materia medicas.
I use Robin Murphy's.
Rhus Tox has been used successfully in many cases of fibromyalgia - when the symptoms match.
Pineapple will work best when it is fresh or not pasturized, because the enzymes have not be destroyed by the heat of pasturization. Also be aware that MSG or monosodium glutamate can cause many of the symptoms you describe. It's shocking how many foods have this poison it them. Please read labels, but know that sometimes it is merely described as 'flavoring'! There is a good website, truth in labeling dot org that gives a comprehisive listing of names 'food' producers give for MSG.
Hope this helps,
Jade

Hello Jade
Thanks for your answer. Your explanation could explain why the pineapple/coconut juice I've been using has not given me any negative affects whatsover. I've been getting the organic without chemicals in it.
giralal/kuldeep is working on a brand new website. He will be loading up the materia medica and I have also asked him to post information on aggrevations and antidoting. So we will be able to learn a lot about homeopathy from the website he is working on right now. I agree I do not like taking anything unless I know what remedy will antidote it in case I get aggrevations.
Girilal taught me that if I suspect something antidoted a remedy that works for me is just to take another dose.
So the internet is great because we can learn so much from so many different people.
So many homeoapths like keeping people in the dark for various reasons.
That is why I like giralal so much, he has no need to keep people in the dark.
check out the new website. It is going to be the very best site on the internet thanks to giralal.

Hi pat and joyce
I read a nice analogy fo who remedies work Ill pass it along. Imagine a spinning top. When we take a remedy we should take it once -be it dry pellets or a watery potency as described by Jade. If the remedy is correct it will spin. If we touch a spinning top what happens.Yes it stops it falls. By taking other remedies or repeating
indiscrimently we 'touch' the vital force thus interupting our remedys action(stimulated vital force). This probably doesnt apply to the LM scale of potency. Its important not to think allopathically. With cases like fibromyalgia often it is the exciting cause that I would pay close attention to. And what sort of symptoms are unique to you alone. Its quite complex. The vtal force that we attempt to stimulate can not be pushed -and unfortunatly the older we get and the longer we suffer the less responsive we become. The remedies you are working with are pretty superficial in action. You need a remedy that addresses the causation focusing on the mental emotion features. Otherwise we are not much different than orthadox docs. (managing symptoms-but not looking at the root). think about seeing a classical homeopath if it is within your means.

Sycotic: Thanks for your explanation. My fibro came on, I believe, when I was abruptly fired from a job at age 61, I had planned to retire from this job at 65. My whole body went into a 'concrete block type feeling'. So, I see what you say about Causation..getting to the 'root' of the cause of this tightness, etc. This incident was most likely the straw the broke the camels back. I've had plenty of stressful situations in my life and this one pushed me into the condition. That's how I'm analyzing it.
My daughter has a lot of stress in her life and it goes right to my body since I am so close to her and the situation.
From what I understand from you, find a remedy(s) that can help the body/mind from going into a stressor mode.
I think that's what you are saying.
I'll talk to the homeopath at the pharmacy and mention this scenerio. Or maybe I'll jump into a doctor. Problem is I'm on a fixed income and I know each time one has to go back, they keep charging.
Thanks again.

There are so many different ways to use homeopathy. There is no one right one. I am just fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with a homeopath and I learned about what works on me. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing and nearly killed me.
So it is good to have many opinions from so many different people. Many options.
There are no set rules in homeopathy.
Mostly a lot of disagreement. Well if you have 100 homeopaths disagreeing then that means there 100 different methods that each of them has found to work.
So there is no reason to ever give up on homeopathy. Keep searching and keep looking.
I'm always looking for different opinions and different methods.

To Those Who Deal With Fibro:
It is so true that we all have different issues and some of us have same issues. I belong to a FM Support group and some people are more fatigued than others. Some don't have arthritic conditions. Some can't get out of bed some days. That has never been me, thank goodness.
Fatigue seems to be the major complaint of all of us.
My lower stiff back carries the brunt of my stress. Losing some weight would certainly help me. 10 lbs would make a big diff, but it just doesn't want to come off. Although, Joe said with Nat Phos 6X one can lose 1-2 lbs per week. I'm off that now, but will get back on.
I meditate BUT not enough. I can remember a few years ago when I was going to a meditation group I had such an incredible DEEP meditation that all pain/depression lifted like a Miracle. It's interesting when I was driving out there that night, I was seriously thinking of getting on an anti-depressant but after the DEEP MEDITATION that was the farthest thought in my mind. I still meditate but not enough, and not long enough. Must get my mind into doing more meditation.
Meditation is a Miracle waiting for us to claim it.
