Hello Betty,
Stick with sulphur for these 3 doses (your body tells you it doesn't feel bad, right?)then have 2 weeks off before taking calc-c.
It's only one single dose of 200c. Not at all like LMs.

Thanks Astra,
Can you tell me what is the difference between LM and C? cause my homeopath insists on LM. I asked her several times before, but each time she told me that I am not qualified to talk talk about homeopathy and it is either her way or highway!!!
Please explain a little bit for me so I can talk to her and let her know that I am going to take 200 C because ....
thank you
Betty

in the past you took LM and 200c,(arist and kali carb.) right? Only because of that was 200c recommended-although it is not a high potency yet it is quite strong.
LM are Roman numerals for 50000-this is how much is diluted say LM2 comparing to LM1.And succussed (shaken). Succussing makes a remedy solution stronger, dilution-more gentle. Combining of this two is necessary to get a dynamized form of the remedy.
when you have c potencies you dilute , say from 6c to 7c, only 100 times (instead of
50 000 times, so it is less gentle).
When c-potencies are as much diluted as LMs on the other hand they are many more times succussed (again made more aggressive).
So, LM potencies, esp if you start with 1, are much gentler-good for e.g. some mental diseases where you want the change to occur VERY gradually. Or with someone very sensitive: maybe your homeopath -after seeing you-decided that you are sensitive...? Why then would she give you 200c too?
She has to answer your questions: it's your body after all.

Hello Betty,
Your homeopath has seen you-I didn't. Maybe she has some reasons to believe you are sensitive and require gentler approach? Maybe 200c will be too strong for you (I don't think so-but I can be wrong).
And you had other remedies that strong before.
I think I'll best leave it to you. If you think that 200c is too aggressive (it exchanges with +/- LM6) take single dose of 30c (+/- LM3)

Who told you you have to take "8 doses of Sulphur."?That is not correct.3 doses are the maximim for chronic cases.
Now,regarding Calc.carb,I am not offering you any opinion.But,I can tell you this.
Say,your constitution indicates,a possibility of 5 medicines,and you are not sure which one is most beneficial to you.
Start with the one you feel confident.Take just three doses.Wait for a month.
If no improvement,go for the next best,out of the remaining four.
If you do it this way,there is no danger,and one or the other will help you.
I know it is something like a toss,but this strategy really helps.
I will come back, to tell you more about what to do in case one of these help you.

Betty,
Pl. note:
You need THUJA 200.
Day one take two doses...one i nthe morning and another in the evening.
After one week...one dose in the morning.
After lapse of another week ...one more dose in the morning.
Within 5/6 days yo uwill begin to see positive changes in the vaginal cyst.
It will also improve you in an overall way.
When new symptoms get thrown up in the process...post feed back.
Sulphur.....three doses are enough. Don't need more....if some thing had to happen from it, would have happened by now. Murthy is right on that!
"I have yet to come across a text that terms .. a chilly patient as a sulphur patient!"
Cal. carb ...not yet.
Next medicine can only suggest after viewing the results of Thuja.
Best,
Pankaj Varma

Well, after reading all the posts, I must compliment you on many insights. I would suggest that lower potencies be used for awhile
Betty, try not to let the symptoms of Staphysagria seem too severe. All symptoms are written in most acute form so that one can compare more easily.
I also would have suggested SILICEA, but in a lower potency like 200X. One must not take Silicea any closer than one dose weekly. Did you take more often? This would cause aggravation. This too would pass naturally, even though uncomfortable.
SULPHUR has been good here because this remedy works well with others and "resets" the body.
You may think of trying a couple of doses of APIS 200X as it treats swellings, but also cysts that are referred to as carbuncles, which is an old fashioned name for what you have. You have already tried the Silicea and as there has not been any natural emptying of the cyst, no need to continue.
Picture this: during intercourse, the cyst may be small, but pressure may irritate and it swells. This falls into symptoms of Apis.
This remedy sounds severe when you read it, but it covers so many things that one not need become alarmed that one does not fit the entire picture.
It continues to sound like a low grade localized infection that would also respond to ECHINACEA because it corrects blood disorders, even as far as blood poisoning.
Calcarea Carb sounds good as it is also a constitutional.
In my search I kept running across APIS. So let your intuition work for you.
One thing to remember in Homeopathy. Sometimes a remedy just seems right and it just won't do the trick. One has to look for opposites in symptoms on occasion. A remedy that one is sure not to work, may indeed, do the trick.
In 40 years it has only happened to me 2 or 3 times. Sabra

Wow!It got crowded here (while I was at the oceanshore listening to the waves - my favorite activity)!
I also went to bookstore and in the book "Practical homeopathy" but Vinton McCabe (impressive credentials) under calc.-c. was that it is best acting in single doses (and we use c-potencies for that)- rather than in repeated doses (like e.g. LMs).
So that answers your other question.
And I still swear by it.
The best solution for you now (I believe) is to read about all suggested remedies in some Materia Medica and select the remedy yourself (because guess what? you know yourself best!).
And if you have any questions... just look here. Everyone wants to help!
