Dear Janey:
Thank you very much for all your information. As I said, today we can revise all your symptoms. The symptoms that I repertorized was:
1. Panic, attacks of anxiety
2.- Urticaria, hives in cold air
3.- Abdomen, dystension general
4.- Heat
5.- Heat, flushes
6.- Dry skin
7.- Female, dryness
8.- Emaciation general
9.- Stool, yellow orange
10.- Stool, thin yellow
11.- Perspiration profuse
12.- acne
And a new one
13. Vaginal discharge greenish after menses.
As you told me in post before, symptoms 1,3,4,5 and 11, are becoming light. The other ones are in similar state.
In my opinion this new modality of sweat and another can be produce by Ant tart third dosis you took before. Doesn't matter, that's indicating you have not to take more dosis.
I'm surpraised because you have greenish mucous discharge . This is a new symptom for me. Can you tell me when you have had this symptom before? Had you ever had this symptom before? If yes, when?
If I am wrong in the valueing of any symptom, please, remember it to me.
As you said in your last posts, we need wait for your new menses and then (more or less two weeks), take again the symptoms that remain and look for a definitive remedy to drive you to health.
As you can see, the great problem of Homeopathy is -in certain cases- the time spend in the treatment. But it's a little few if we get the total amelioration.
Best regards
Andrés

Andres,
Most of your symptoms are correct but some are not and a few need revising. Maybe the picture will be a bit clearer if i post my symptoms with a little more detail including the severity, when it started and if/how it's changed.
1.I DO have anxiety but i DO NOT have panic. I had panic attacks 5 years ago but not anymore. Anxiety is more general and it is more of an apprehensiveness...apprehensive about my health, the future etc. Anxiety is much improved in the last 2 weeks. Also i have nervousness...this is a seperate symptom, different from the anxiety. It is just nervousness but often with no cause. Sometimes i am nervous about my health, or whether i am 'adequate enough'.
2. Urticaria, hives in cold air. THis symptom started as a child. I would get hives ONLY ON MY FACE after being in VERY cold air. They did not itch. THis problem went away maybe when i was 11 or 12 and did not come back until i was 19. HOwever when it came back it was different and worse. I get the hives all over my body EXCEPT MY FACE after swimming in cool water. And i also get them MOSTLY ON MY LEGS/BUTTOX after walking in cool weather. THe weather does not have to be VERY cold. It is especially bad in cool WIND. I do not actually get the hives in the cold, but when heating up AFTER being in the cold air. sometimes they are VERY ITCHY. Also, my face does not get hives but has edema (swelling of the tissues in face) and VERY BRIGHT REDNESS after being in cold. ALl of these symptoms go away in about 15 minutes.
3.Abdomen, dystension general. Started after sepia. Entire abdomen swells and bloats OCCASIONALLY after eating. At all times in general, my stomach feels heavy and awkward, especially if im bent forward. This symptom is much better for past 2 weeks.
4. Heat. Started a little over 1 year ago. Heat comes from lower back and moves up my back. The heat is internal....up until 2 months ago there was NO SWEAT, even when i had this heat. It has progressed to a general heat intolerance, as warm places either trigger or exacerbate the symptom. HOWEVER.. it DOES NOT have to be warm for me to get this symptom. This symptom has improved some since 2 weeks.
5. Heat, flushes. Again...started same time as #4 and really they are sort of the same symptom. Happens in my back...occasionally spreads to upper legs. Can make head hot too.
6. I DO NOT have DRY SKIN. I NEVER had this symptom, not sure where you got it from :) The skin on my face is oily but not VERY oily. Sometimes around my nose it is crusty but still greasy. The skin on my body is perfectly normal and actually quite nice. ONly skin problems on my BODY are RINGWORM usually around underwear line. One on other thing is the skin on my elbows is sometimes dry and red, maybe cracked a little bit. Skin on elbows also gets very itch after cold air. Oily skin started about 5 years ago...started as just a shiny forehead. I DID NOT have this problem as a teenager. RINGWORM started as a kid, comes and goes. SOmetimes i may not have it for few years, then comes back. RIGHT NOW i have 2 places with ringworm.
7. Female, dryness. This is correct but also it is a general irritation of whole exterior genital area that is sometimes itchy. I think this symptom is a result of brown discharge after menses. Itchyness can spread to anus area. This symptom started a few months ago, not exactly clear when. I ALSO HAD THIS symptom while on SEPIA, but then i got some cream from a female doctor and it went away.
8. Emaciation, general. Started losing weight a little over 1 YEAR ago despite a very good appetite and diet. My backside is the most emaciated area. Stomach has increased in belly fat even though rest of body is emaciated.
9&10. Stool, is NOT YELLOW, but sometimes has a little bit of ORANGE color to it. Also is very inconsistent. Sometimes stool is NORMAL other times is very LOOSE. NOT DIARRHEA but just loose and thinner than normal stool. ALso there is A LOT of stool at one time. It is the amount of about 3 times added together (like if i went 3 seperate times normally it would add up to how much i go lately). This symptom started few months ago and is not better. Liver and pancreas are NORMAL.
11. Perspiration, profuse. This is a newer symptom, started as an extension of the heat flushes and has progressed to be a seperate symptom. Started early this year but was very gradual. In past MONTH has gotten WORSE. First i sweated only when feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious. Now instead i sweat while talking to people or laughing. SOmetimes i sweat from warm room or slight exertion but NOT ALWAYS. Sweat is only underarms and on back. Also it is very warm sweat...i.e. i am warm and sweating. Last month i also got COLD sweats, but i havent noticed that lately. Sweating is NOT BETTER.
12. Acne. Started about five years ago after i started to get oily skin. Was very bad when first started then has had its ups and downs over the years but has never been as bad as when it first started. Currently it is flared up again. Its appearance is...small with some medium size pimples that affect right side of face worse than left. THey come in clusters. Some get small whiteheads but most dont. I also get them on my forehead. The ones on the right side of face take a long time to heal and leave red/purple scars that take a few months to fade. The ones on forehead can take a long time to go away too but dont leave scars. Skin in general though looks healthy besides the spots. Skin is not inflamed or irritated EXCEPT IN COLD.
13. Vaginal discharge BROWN after menses for 3-6 days. this symptom started maybe 6 months ago but i cant be sure. And then also THIS MONTH, AFTER the BROWN discharge, i had some green mucusy discharge for 2 or 3 days. It came only like 4 times total though, not like the brown discharge that comes throughout day. I have had this symptom before but i dont remeber when and it didnt last. Right now the green discharge is gone so i'm not too worried, ill see if it happens again. Sometimes you get green discharge if you have too much bacteria or something so maybe it was that. The BROWN discharge is what bothers me. It happens every month after menses for 3-6 days and is what causes the female irritation/itchyness/dryness.
Ok i think i got everything. Just want to add a few things. Past 2 months i had very bad depression but right now since 2 weeks is gone. Also, about the nervousness, sometimes i get shakey and feel very weak, like my brain is starving. ALso this can happen if i havent eaten in a few hours, but doesnt have to happen only then. Can happen other times too. I will feel like i cannot handle anything...dont want to have to make my brain think, i only want to lay down or eat. Usually at this time i crave milk. I drink only almond milk for the past 1 1/2 months because i think i am lactose intolerant but im not sure.
Iknow this is long, but i hope it gives a better picture of symptoms. I think the mental symptoms are the ones improving some over past 2 weeks. My self-esteem is coming back slowly, but i am still not confident like i used to be. But depression is MUCH better. And anxiety is a lot better too. Just nervousness and feeling self-conscious i still have sometimes.
Hope this helped,
Janey

Dear Janey:
Thank you for the input.
I'll consider all the symptoms you've posted, but for the present, wait and watch.
I think you'd be a very good homeopath, because you have a lot of sensibility to sense and describe all the symptoms. I think too you'd be a very fine watcher. And what medical speciality are you thinking to follow? ;)
Best regards
Andrés

Andres,
Thank you for the compliment! :) I'm not sure what type of specialty i want to pursue but i do definitely want to incorporate a more alternative approach to medicine as I think that many allopathic medicines do more harm than good. I think during medical school i will get a better idea of what i like and what i dont. I do think i would like surgery also, but that is a very intense career. We'll see. IN the meantime i will wait and watch. I am going to see the GI tomorrow so i will tell you if he finds any problem...hopefully he doesnt!

Andres,
I saw the gastroenterologist today. He SUSPECTS malabsorption of small intestine. He did some more blood work and will do a stool biopsy. He aslo wants to do an EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy..same as upper endoscopy). BUT the procedure is $3000.00 and i have no health insurance so for now he is waiting on other results to see if EGD is absolutely necessary, and also he wants me to see another GI in 4 weeks. So basically problem is still unknown.

Dear Janey:
Well, the problem is unknown still, but we can help to your small intestine. How? Well, I have two propositions:
1.- Take dietetic fibre (in Spain is sold in packets, and you take one spoon of this powder before each eating. There are a sort of fibre preparation that contain probiotics, that help to repair and alkalinize the digestive system.
2.- Take Nux Vomica 6x, three drops before every meal.
These two propositions, will heal your digestive system, and probably (or if you prefer, surely) you'get a cleaning and detoxication of your digestive system, with improving in your acne, in your stools, and in your emaciation.
When you try, please, report.
Warmest regards
Andrés

Andres,
Thank you for the suggestions, i will try them right away. I have a couple questions though..
should i take the nux vomica right before i eat, or should i wait 30 minutes after taking it and then eat?
About the fiber..in the U.S. there are very many different types of fiber supplements/powders. Are you saying i should get one that contains probiotics?
And lastly, since the nux vomica treatment seems sort of long term, is it ok to take wine and beer on occasion while on this treatment (of course i would not have wine or beer within 1 hour of taking nux) or would this interfere with the treatment? I dont drink often but some nights i have wine, or go out to have drinks with friends so i am just wondering.
Thanks again,
Janey

Dear Janey:
If you can, you must take at less 15 minutes before eating, but if you can't, then take 30 minutes before or after. But no just right before eating.
Yes, in Spain this fibre supplements contain probiotics inside and these probiotics are protected against the acids of the stomach, favouring to arrive till the small intestine, and then pass till the colon.
Please, if you can, don't drink too much alcohol, because Nux Vomica is a depurative remedy, and act on the liver, on the small intestine, on the big intestine and cleans the blood and desintoxicates the organism. If you drink alcohol, you are stopping the process. But you are an inteligent person and you'll know how much you can drink :)
In my opinion, this process we are talking, is not for a long time; otherwise, in more or less 15 days, you'll feel better and better, although sometimes you can feel sick (specially in the first time and in last times).
After your first week, please, report.
Cheers!
Warmest regards
Andrés

Andres,
I just wanted to let you know that i just started the nux and fiber/probiotic powders today because i had to order nux and it took a while to get here. Just to clarify cause i was a little confused by wording of last post, is it BETTER to take nux 15 minutes before, or 30 min before? either one is fine for me. Also i should take fiber right before or after eating? And finally, do you think it would be okay to mix the fiber powder in something besides water, like milk or juice or something? Doesnt taste too good in just water, but if i have to i will.

Dear Janey:
The best is taking the remedies 30 minutes before eating.
You have to take the probiotics diluted in glass of water, 10 minutes before eating, although this is elastic, if you can't, mey take just before eating.
When you begin the intakes, please, drink a lot of water (more or less 3-4 liters every day. This water help to drain your smalll and big intestine.
You can take to with juice, but -if you are able- pleas, don't take dairies, nor milk, nor milk derivated. Avoid some kind of fat (animal or vegetal, except vegetable oil) and don't drink coffee for these 15 days. You can drink tea or herbal teas.
Report after 15 days or when you like ;)

Andres,
Well today i am back to being very hot, sweating, abdomen feels stretched and heavy, but not bloated, just too big for my body. Is very flabby and feels like it is retaining liquid or something. Kinda how it feels if you drink a whole bunch of fluid. Anyway, i am also very irritable and intolerant of heat. I am getting fed up with all of this. My appetite has been very good, hungrier than normal. However, i feel no matter how much i eat all food goes to tummy and still i lose weight everywhere else, and disproportion is making me very uncomfortable both physically and mentally. I feel there is definite connection between stomach, sweating and weightloss, and mental symptoms as well. FOr instance, physical symptoms cause bad mental symptoms which probably further cause physical symptoms, etc. An endless circle!! I know FOR SURE that heat and sweating can be caused by mental symptoms. But sometimes heat comes on own also. Anyway, i will continue with nux and fiber/probiotics. One good thing i noticed is that stool was very normal after only one day so i hope that is a good sign. I am just feeling discouraged again, mostly because the sweating and stuff are back. Today i had a huge surge of heat come out of my ear! its the 4th time its happened this month. It doesnt bother me at all, it feels kinda nice...but weird. Also, i think the fact that i am sweating all the time is also why i lose weight, cause i sweat mostly in my back and that is where i lose the most weight. Maybe as we first suspected it is related to menstrual cycle, as right around now is when symptoms usually get worse. But also could be some effect of nux. We'll see. I just felt like venting and telling you how i feel!
Also i got my results back from GI, stool cultures were normal. No blood, fecal fat, or parasites, etc. As far as i can tell bloodwork also looks normal.

Dear Janey:
Nux Vomica acts in that way. Don't worry. It's a very good sign that Nux it's acting deeply.
In a few days these sensations have to dissappear.
Let's wait
Nice weekend

In a few days these sensations have to dissappear.
Let's wait
Nice weekend

Andres,
This may be very long as i find i have much to say.
First of all i want to say that i think overall the treatment is working in a positive direction. Nux is definitely having some effect.
Over the past few days i have come to realize many things. First, i have a lot of built up anger that is so deep i maybe did not even know it was there. What is this anger about? i have no idea. I think it comes mostly from pent up emotions and months of frustration about not being 'well' or 'myself' or adequate enough. I am the type of person that does not express feelings well. I can do it here in writing, but face to face or even over the phone is very difficult for me. I immediately get choked up and my natural instinct is to suppress my feelings. I do not like to be thought of as being weak or unhappy, even though on a rational level i know that my emotions are perfectly normal and dont make me less of a person. But this does not change the fact that my entire body has programmed itself to keep my feelings to myself. And this is frustrating, because i can feel them all wanting to burst. But because i dont let all of this negative energy out...what happens? well you already know the answer. I manifest symptom after symptom because of all the negative energy just swelling up in my body. It's no wonder i am constantly hot and sweating, where else would all this energy go? So it doesnt really matter what the anger is about, the problem is i have no outlet for it. How do you release anger in a positve way when the anger is at yourself and your situation? I would never physically hurt myself, but in the end i am hurting myself anyway by not dealing with how i'm feeling in a way that can help me get past it.
So secondly, i have concluded that at the root of all of my symptoms is definitely an anxiety disorder. It can explain every single one of my symptoms. I think that because the physical symptoms have become so prominent, i was convinced there must be some real physical cause because my feelings were not at the surface. One very good thing is that ever since finishing ant. tart. depression has been completely gone. If i really confront my feelings in a positve way, i feel sad that this has taken over my life, and just sad that i am in this situation. But not depressed. The sad feelings are a good sad. On the other hand, if i confront my feelings in a negative way, i feel angry, anxious, and start sweating and feeling like its 100 degrees. I think that nux has brought all of my feelings closer to the surface, and i have been able to identify that it is the constant nervousness that accounts for all the other symptoms. Being around other people is difficult because i am so self conscious and ALWAYS thinking about how i am inferior, mostly because of how i look (too thin, and very young). But when i say i am self conscious, and unhappy with the way i am right now, i dont mean i wish i were more like someone else, i just want to be myself again. For most of my life, i have been a very confident person, and never thought twice about how i appeared to other people. Now sometimes i am even sweating when i talk to people on the phone. But in the end it is not people i am afraid of, it is that i dont feel comfortable in my own body. (seriously, i look much different since these problems started. If you saw a 'before' and 'after' picture you would see. I just do not look healthy at all anymore) And i worry that people will never take me seriously as a doctor because at the present time i am not confident or assertive enough. I know i am very bright, and most of my life i have interacted well with people and been very confident in everything i do. I just wish i could regain these things and not feel so consumed by negativity.
Anyway, this is getting a little off track, and i dont want to write you a whole book. The point is, i definitely have some anxiety problem. But like i have told you before, it is not panic or fear really...i dont feel like i'm dying, or that there is some impending doom. Instead i just feel constant nervousness. And very apprehensive about the future...will i ever feel good about myself again etc. I am sure that this causes all of my symptoms...
nervousness causes sweating and heat, and i know that anger makes you hot as well. Also my stomach i notice only bloats when i am thinking about it, like i am worried it will, or i am anxious for some other reason. And weight loss i'm sure probably comes from constant sweating, and digestive disturbances due to nervousness. The digestive problems i think are much improved since starting nux and fiber. Stool is now completely normal. Appetite is very good. Bloating doesnt happen often and when it does its not as bad. ALso i think that because i have been so stressed for like over one year now, i have been producing too much cortisol and this is why i have so much belly fat that i never had before. And also, bloating has stretched out my skin, so it is flabbier there. Other things i noticed are i am always sucking my stomach in without even realizing it. I started doing this after SEPIA because i was self conscious of how big and swollen my belly had gotten since the rest of me is so small. And i think i never stopped and now i just do without knowing and im sure it cant be good, probably makes the whole stomach issue worse. Also i spend many hours sitting in this one chair at my desk and i am alway bent forward so that everything is pressed towards my abdomen.
I am surprised because i didnt know nux could act deeply in such low potency. SOme things since starting nux...i got an outbreak of small pimples on my chest that were very itchy. I never usually get any pimples in that area. Anyway it is almost gone. Acne on face is better, but not gone, and different. Skin is not as oily, but i have a lot of dandruff.
ONe big problem that makes all this worse is that my nervous system is very excitable and over-reactive. And also i am suddenly very sensitive to caffeine. Even if i have a little bit, like in tea, i can feel anxious and a little bit shaky. I did not have this problem before...i used to tolerate a lot of caffeine very well.
I have been jump roping everyday because exercise always makes me feel good even though i worry it will cause me to lose more weight. But in the long run i think it will help very much with anxiety. Its weird because the heat and sweat i feel from exercise dont bother me at all. In fact it feels good. I dont even get as hot as i do when i get hot from the nervousness. In fact i sweat more from the nervousness than i do from aerobic exercise!! Anyway, i will keep doing it becuase i think it helps. Plus i spend so many hours studying..i need a way to wind down from that. I would not say my life is sedentary, but i do spend A LOT of time sitting in one spot studying.
So those are all the things i have been thinking about the last few days. I will tell you if there are any changes after second week of treatment. Right now the nervous disorder is very bad, but i feel like it is at least changing and coming closer to surface so that i can hopefully work it out. Maybe nux will help? but i dont know if such low potency treats that type of thing. I told you that 5 years ago when i had panic attacks all the time i was given nux and it really helped. Can the same remedy help again even though the symptoms are not the same at all? I have started seeing a therapist to talk about how im feeling but i hope that homeopathy can help as well. I'll take all the help i can get! :)
Well thanks for listening...i know you probably dont want to always be reading such long stories about peoples thoughts. But you have been very helpful so far so thank you for that.
Kindest regards,
Janey

Very dear Janey:
I don't know how begin...
First, nux vomica is a great draining remedy (for good things and for bad things). It can drain all you have storaged for years... It's a great liberation, but some times may be too much explosive.
Second, Nux Vomica may be indicated to throw out or away your bad feelings and thoughts, but -in my opinion- it is not your constitutional remedy.
Third, Nux Vomica didn't cover the older symptoms, because you are more worried by your surface illness looking, than for the deep implications. There is no a big problem. The only problem is accepting it.
Fourth, when time passed and we finish with nux vomica, your reality will be very very clear, and we can treat all the symptoms that remain.
Fourth, thank you, thank you, thank you for your deep confidence: confidence in my prescription; confidence in my understanding when you tell me all your thoughts; confidence in both of us, trying to find a way to cure.
Fifth, I'm sure at all you'll be a very good doctor, homeopathic or alopathic; specialist or general... Your thoughts show your heart and your mind. You haven't to worry. You have a place in this world, and in the future your place will be safer and friendy. Only a time problem.
Warmest regards and post when you like or when you finis this two weeks treatment.

Andres,
Well it has been two weeks. I still have no depression and in general feel very good and positive. However, i still have a lot of anxiety/nervousness. And this still sometimes causes intense sweating. Acne is still bad. Bloating is better, or at least i havent noticed much bloating. Stools were normal but then in the last 5 days i have had diarrhea 3 times with 1 normal stool in between. I tried to figure out if diarrhea is caused by something im eating but i cant tell. It could be egg, but ill keep an eye out and see if diarrhea continues.
I did not have any brown discharge this time after menstruating, so that is good.
So overall the biggest problems are still nervousness and anxiety (which causes sweating) and might also possibly still be causing digestive disturbances. I am still worried about my weight but i think that will get better once nervous problem gets better. And also acne.
So what do you think? should i continue treatment with nux and fiber or stop?
Best, Janey

Dear Janey:
Your news are good news.
Please, if your stools are normal (colour, density...), stop NUX VOM: and follow two weeks more with probiotics, but twice every day instead thrice.
If your stools are no normal or your have another digestive symptoms, report.
After these two weeks more, we'll revise again all the case.
Warmest regards
Andrés

Hi Andres,
Just want to give you an update...
My stools are mostly normal but sometimes still a little too soft. But color is normal. However, belly is still growing larger, and past 2 days i have had bloating again after it had been gone for some time. I have no idea what makes it swell up so big like that sometimes. It doesnt seem to be any certain food. Plus my abdomen keeps increasing in flabby fat but rest of my body still doesnt seem to be gaining the weight back.
Nervousness is still there but has gotten better...same for the sweating since i usually only sweat or have heat flushes with the nervousness. But both of these i think are improving.
Acne is improving but is not completely better yet.
I am still taking the probiotics twice a day.

Dear Janey:
Again your news are good news. Great!
I think we are in the right way with this treatment.
In my opinion, the only rare thing you are suffering is your stools: fiber and probiotics use to conglomerate the stools and make them more compacts, and no soft. Perhaps that may be produce by your water ingestion. If you drink a lot of water, your stools may be more soft. Please, follow watching.
About your belly, that's not a problem, because fiber produces gases and swelling, but -when you finish your treatment- this swelling will dissapear.
Please, as I have said, continue this week with fiber plus probiotics, and the two next only with probiotics, stop the fiber. I think you'll feel better and better in all your aspect.
About your nervousness, I don't remember whether you took before Argentum Nitricum and which results did you get.
Please, clear this aspect to me and I'll prepare a prescription for your nervousness.
Warmest regards

Andres,
I have never tried argentum nitricum before.
I will keep watching the stools. I noticed that caffeine affects me very negatively now. I think i may have already told you that. However, if the caffeine is in cola or something, it doesnt bother me. Only tea and coffee...but i dont drink coffee anyway.
Also acne is getting worse but only on right cheek, its not a problem anywhere else.

Andres,
My regular homeopath finally called me to see how things were going. I told him that i had stopped his treatment (ars alb) because it made me worse and told him about the treatments i've done since then and how i'm doing now. He suggested that i take Calcarea carbonica 30c 3 days in a row before bed and then wait and watch. What are your thoughts about this? I trust your judgement very much so i would like to know if you agree.

Dear Janey:
Your homeopath phone call is a good new, because he think of you and your health. Good done.
In my opinion, Calcarea carbonica may be a good option. You can see the symptoms in the Materia Medica (homeoint.org web page. See Boericke Mat. Med).
If you think your symptoms are covered by Calcarea Carbonica, then follow his instructions.
I think that it's always better you are treated by an homeopath IN PERSON than by mail or forum. If you have confidence to him, then follow his prescriptions. I'm sure he'll make his best efforts to recover you as a confident patient and to improve your health definetly.
Warmest regards

Dear Andres,
Well the thing is I'm not sure I do trust my homeopath's judgement completely because many of the remedies he has prescribed have made me worse, but he never does any type of follow up or advise me what to do next. This is first time he has done that...and probably only because i had left a message with his secretary regarding a different matter about one of my family members. Anyway, it's not that i don't trust him at all, it's just that so far in just a short time, and without knowing me at all, your treatments have led to a great improvement.
So i looked at calc carb, and many symptoms fit but i'm not the 'typical' calc carb patient, because it says that calc carb patients are fat and flabby with large heads...and i'm none of those things. Except that it does say bellies grow large, but mine is not that large, just big in comparison to my small body. But it says it covers emaciation and is a good remedy for impaired nutrition. And it covers many of my other symptoms as well. However, i dont crave undigestible things.
I guess i will try it...does 30c sound like an okay dosage?

Dear Janey:
When you look into the Materia Medica, you can find a lot of symptoms, but not all of them you have to suffer. Because of this, we try to rpertorize, i.e. find in the materia medica which of this remedies is closest to your symptoms at all.
You don't need to be Calcarea Carbonica type to get benefits from intaking. If you have this problem with your bellie, and with your emciation and perhaps with your anxiety, then you can take Calcarea Carbonica. In my opinion, this remedy will be one more in your way to health. When you finish with your digestive ailments, then will be necessary treating your anxiety and your nervousness. An Calcarea Carbonica doesn't cover this symptoms at all. But, anyway, may be a good election. 30c potency is right to wait for the results.
Don't worry and trust.

Dear Andres,
Well i have good news and bad news. The good news is that since i started taking calc carb i got better and better and all of my symptoms were pretty much gone even the heat which was the most prominent symptom after a while. Anyway, i started by taking calc carb. 30c 3 nights in a row then once a week for a few weeks, then i took calc carb 200c 2 times in 3 weeks. Well after the last dose of calc carb i started sweating ALOT. THis was actual sweating not just feeling hot internally, and was not as uncomfortable as the heat i was feeling before. The sweat was under arms, on back and on chest. Had a little bad odor under arms but not too bad. Anyway, i told my homeopath and he said to take lycopodium clav. 30c 4 nights in a row and then 1 time per week for 1 month. Well i didnt really think lyc. was good choice cause i dont really have any lyc. symptoms anymore ( i did at one time) but i took his advice. Well i took it last monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday night. Ever since then i have gotten worse and worse. First i started to lose my appetite a little, but now i am back to feeling very anxious, nervous, hot all the time, but the uncomfortable internal heat with only some sweating but not a lot mostly just heat flushes like before but all internal. And now my eyes have started bothering me again feeling dry and tired and i feel very dehydrated, constantly drinking water. Well my homeopath is on vacation now for 6 weeks so i cannot tell him about this aggravation. I think lyc. was very bad choice as i was doing almost completely better and now all these old symptoms are back. I felt very good during taking calc. and then only after that last dose i started to sweat really bad, but maybe that was a good sign? I dont know but now i feel i am right back where i started with some of the old symptoms and i dont know if this is temporary aggravation or if i need to antidote and maybe go back to calc carb? Please, tell me your advice. I am very uncomfortable with all this heat and nervousness again. However, i should say that all my digestive symptoms are gone, and they have been better since i took your nux and probiotic treatments but still i am not gaining any weight, i think because i am SO HOT and uncomfortable. Please tell me if you think i need antidote or what i should do. Thank you so much.

Anyway, i started by taking calc carb. 30c 3 nights in a row then once a week for a few weeks, then i took calc carb 200c 2 times in 3 weeks. Well after the last dose of calc carb i started sweating ALOT. THis was actual sweating not just feeling hot internally, and was not as uncomfortable as the heat i was feeling before. The sweat was under arms, on back and on chest. Had a little bad odor under arms but not too bad. Anyway, i told my homeopath and he said to take lycopodium clav. 30c 4 nights in a row and then 1 time per week for 1 month. Well i didnt really think lyc. was good choice cause i dont really have any lyc. symptoms anymore ( i did at one time) but i took his advice. Well i took it last monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday night. Ever since then i have gotten worse and worse. First i started to lose my appetite a little, but now i am back to feeling very anxious, nervous, hot all the time, but the uncomfortable internal heat with only some sweating but not a lot mostly just heat flushes like before but all internal. And now my eyes have started bothering me again feeling dry and tired and i feel very dehydrated, constantly drinking water. Well my homeopath is on vacation now for 6 weeks so i cannot tell him about this aggravation. I think lyc. was very bad choice as i was doing almost completely better and now all these old symptoms are back. I felt very good during taking calc. and then only after that last dose i started to sweat really bad, but maybe that was a good sign? I dont know but now i feel i am right back where i started with some of the old symptoms and i dont know if this is temporary aggravation or if i need to antidote and maybe go back to calc carb? Please, tell me your advice. I am very uncomfortable with all this heat and nervousness again. However, i should say that all my digestive symptoms are gone, and they have been better since i took your nux and probiotic treatments but still i am not gaining any weight, i think because i am SO HOT and uncomfortable. Please tell me if you think i need antidote or what i should do. Thank you so much.

Dear Janey:
First of all, as ever, don't worry. Relax yourself and we find the solution to your problem.
Well, I've read your post, and in my opinion, your homeopath prescribed Lycopodium because is the Calcarea Carbonica';s COMPLEMENTARY. As you tell me, that's may have been a wrong remedy.
As I see, the change from C. Carb 30 to 200, was very fast, and the second dosis of C.Carb. provocated an aggravation of your symptoms.
We don't need to antidote Lycopodium, because there is no symptoms. I think It's better you take C. Carb 30, one dosis once every week till your homeopath come back.
With this intakes, we relieves the symptoms provocated by C. Carb 200 and -I'm sure- the symptoms provocated by Lycopodium will dissapear very soon.
I'll be at home till 15th july, later I'll go on holydays for five weeks. Please, try the prescription and report with the changes.
Warmest regards
