Weepy Adult Daughter

Greetings:

I would like to help my daughter who is 25 yrs old. Her husband is away training for a new job for 3 months (He has been gone for 2 ½ weeks now). She cries with little provocation and has not been sleeping well – trouble getting to sleep and then wakes up many times during the night. Very moody. Does not seem to want to be consoled. Last night she was crying and I tried to put my arms around her and she immediately stiffened up and moved away. Ignitia come to mind.

Other history:

Right now, she is having her period, which probably makes her emotional state worse. She has a history of acne, which causes her embarrassment so much that she hates to go out in public when her breakouts are bad although she has to go out because she works. She feels that using a tanning bed helps or being out in the sun during the summer helps. Due to time of year, being out in the sun is not an option. Acne is of the small puss red pimple type and she also has the big cyst type under the surface that does not erupt and lasts forever on her chin, cheeks, and forehead. She also has acne scars. Her face tends to be dry and flaky with some oily spots. When she was in high school, I took her to a dermatologist and he put her on antibiotics. This did not work. The Dr. suggested a combo of antibiotics and birth control pills. There was some improvement for a short time but not lasting. She currently is only on birth control pills. Her hands and toes are chilly much of the time. She is better for open air I would say. She does not like to wear slippers or extra warm socks around the house.

She is a very intelligent – but a very sensitive emotional person. Tends to be indecisive and lacks confidence. Does not want to be a burden to anyone. Growing up, her head/hair was very sensitive to touch. Combing or brushing hair would hurt if it were tangled. Tapping head with a finger would hurt. During high school and afterwards she would have migraines. For the most part, they have disappeared as a result of having her wisdom teeth removed. The oral surgeon did find a bony growth beside the wisdom tooth on the upper right. Took sample of it to test for cancer etc. but found out that it was just a bony growth. She has only had a couple migraines since the tooth removals - so this apparently helped by relieving pressure.

I would call her an introvert. Growing up she always was a very well behaved- but did have a few rebellious months her junior year of high school. She does not speak up for herself, as she does not want to cause trouble. Takes on responsibility at work and home but has felt tired and depressed about being the responsible one – with at work not getting paid for doing the boss’s job in addition to hers. After workday, she needs a lot of down time to function at home. She has a younger sister with handicaps and she knows that one day in the future she may have to take on the responsibility of caring for her. She has commented in the past that people (husband and family) just don’t understand her when she tries to explain what is bothering her and if one does says anything to try to console her, she takes it as criticism even though it isn’t and shuts down.

She likes to eat salads now. Very fussy about her food. She would smell it before she would eat it or drink it. Tends toward constipation. Cannot comment more on this, as I have not talked to her about it since she got married.

She was in a pickup accident 6 years ago where she hit her head on the back window and on the windshield. No concussion. Doctor did not see a need for x-rays. She does go to a chiropractor for an adjustment when her back/neck is really bothering her now. However, in my opinion she tends to suffer longer than she needs to as she waits to get her back/neck adjusted until she really cannot stand the discomfort/pain any longer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Dose and how often also.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
stop all antibiotics and birth control pills.

her remedy is NAT MUR 200C three doses at 4 hours interval.

after 15 days, if the mental symptoms are not fully alleviated, give her one dose of NAT MUR 1M every week for three weeks max.

at night, just before sleeping, give her IGNATIA 30C one dose. she will sleep well.

regarding her neck, if there is no physical injury, just tiredness, NAT MUR will take care of it.

If you stop the birth control pills, the natural thing will probably happen as soon as her husband arrives home. And they may not want that just yet...

Redheads usually have sensitive skin and constitution - sensitive to irritations in the environment, and even sunlight. This contributes to the skin infections. It may also be why she is picky about her food - she has discovered what she can eat that does not upset her digestion.

I would be VERY worried about her condition after the accident - if she hit her head on both the back and front windows then that says she was thrown about in the cab a lot (with no seatbelt?), which means severe blows to the head were likely. I would be even more worried that she has ongoing neck pain that a chiropractor cannot fix. That's serious - neck injuries can affect you negatively for life if not corrected, and chiro adjustment may well aggravate the problems. Time to revisit a reputable medical specialist on the subject based on that info alone!

Otherwise, she sounds like she is simply missing her husband, and is worried for him!

I would use Ignatia 6c.
I have had some wonderful results with this type of problem with that great remedy. Sounds like she grieving in her heart and Ignatia is for that very thing.

A big thank you to those who replied!

Rishimba, I think that ZepOZ is correct in the assumption that she isn't ready to stop the birth control pills right now. With husband's new job and having to relocate to a new city and finding a job herself once they relocate in 3 months would put to much pressure on her/them should the 'natural thing happen'.

Also ZepOz, her back/neck area only bothers her when she is lifting stuff such as in the past 2 weeks packing and putting furniture/belogings in storage getting ready for the move. Also, the stress of doing that herself as husband was already gone + the fact that it will be up to her to find a place for them to live and get moved in as there isn't any time after he gets done with training before he reports to the new job in a new city a 1000 miles away from where they live now has added to the stress/emotions and is showing up as pain.

Aussiejudi, thank you for your suggestion of Ignatia also. I didn't have the 6C but I did have the Ignatia 30C that Rishimba mentioned and gave her some yesterday to take before bed. Talked to her earlier this morning and she said she did sleep last night. She really wasn't full of conversation so don't know how well she slept or details - didn't want to press - just glad she took it.

I have ordered the Nat Mur that Rishimba suggested also. I'll update after I get the Nat Mur next week.

Again, blessings and thank you.
