Do you mean you don't get tears, even when you weep?

What are the other symptoms?Symptom is anything which is a deviation from normal.

When I get stressed or excited about doing something I don’t get the same adrenalin rush that I use to I find my body gets drained. It does not take too much to get the feeling of too stressed. For example I look doing my job and when I get focused on the task at hand once the task is completed I am drained. Even if it is a small task, also when I take time off I get sick.

12. What is your level of energy like? Rate it from 1-10 (10 being excellent). How does your energy fluctuate throughout the day (and night)? 8 all day and the same most nignts. On waking I usually have a severe back ache and my cecum valve is painful. After moving a bit and going to the bathroom they both improve.

My confidence is at its worst when I am in a work situation with more senior members of the company (board of directors) when I am not totally aware or in control of the topic at hand and I hate to be questioned. I always have the feeling of defending my position or decisions, which I need not do but can’t help it.

25. What fears do you have? Do you have any phobias? What things in life do you have trouble facing? Fear of failure(not achieving the goal), disappointing others and financial failure.

26. What parts of yourself or your life would you change if it were at all possible? Having more financial security, having the ability to relax once out of the office, being able to have more patients.

Ok.Merisel.

Thanks for your patience.It may take a couple of days to analyse your symtoms,and come out with the prescription.

Pl.be patient.

you say you are better with hydrochloric acid.In which form you are taking it?what is the dosage?

Murthy
 
bandarbabu2000 last decade
Is drained the same as exhaused or fatigued?
 
Astra2012 last decade

Dear merisel

We are working on your case.Probably we will tell you the remedy tomarrow.

Murthy
 
bandarbabu2000 last decade
I am at the office and don't have the dosage with me but I believe I am taking 300 mg of hydrochloric acid 3 times a day and it is in the form of capsules. After 3 weeks or so I have to back off totally from taking this as I start to feel as though I have too much in my system as the acidity seems different.

Merisel
 
merisel last decade
Why are you taking hydrochloric acid? Your stomach doesn't produce enough? Then, would you need to take it for the rest of your life or it's supposed somehow to make your stomach produce it?
 
Astra2012 last decade
Below is the website where I read an article on Colon Therapy which point out my symptoms and lead me to the adrenals being drained.

ok.Merisel.

You have to stop your hydrochloric acid tablets for three days,and tell us if there are any changes in your symtoms.

these tablets might have changed/masked some of your symptoms,and we want the true picture to come out.

Pl.confirm

Murthy
 
bandarbabu2000 last decade
I have gone through the website you mentioned.So.you read that and self diagnised what is the problem.Perhaps the medicine also you selectedon your own.!!

Pl.stop it immediately.No adrenals are drained.You will get relief with homeopathy.

Come back after three days,and tell us if you have any new symtoms.

We are working on your case,very seriously,and you can be cured.

Murthy

I will follow your advise as I trust Homeopathy, I have been to a homeopath for many years but she has moved and it’s difficult finding another good Homeopath that is close to me.

So as of today I will not take the hydrochloric acid, and will update you on Friday of any changes.

It is comforting to know it can be cured, as that is what I believe. I started taking the hydrochloric acid tablets as a result of my chiropractor recommendation. She did this because when I get stressed, (I seem to get stressed too easily) my body (muscles) tighten up and I need an adjustment to relieve some of the mid to lower back pain. I also get a burning feeling on passing stool, when in this condition my cecum valve (Ilio cecal valve) is very painful she sometimes applies pressure in this area, as she would say “the valve sticks” causing the pain. I have noticed that I can’t stay on the hydrochloric acid too long, so I go on it when I have the burning and it seems to temporarily neutralize it.

One point I forgot to mention in my initial request is that prior to going on the Hydrochloric Acid I had a burning sensation at the back of my right heel, when I looked at it later that night the skin was black and cracked. Once I got on the Hydrochloric Acid the burning feeling subsided and the blackened skin was not as raw.

Prior to your instructions, I took my last Hydrochloric Acid on Tuesday morning at 7:45 am. So here goes the outcome:

Not much change during the day of Tuesday but at night I was extremely bloated and had stomach pains. I took a camomile Chamomilla 30 C which took the pain away in 15 minutes and I went to bed. The reason I took this is when I had the same pain before my homeopath prescribed it. The following morning when I woke up the old pain in my cecum valve and lower back (mid lower side) came back. I was also mildly congested in my right nasal passage and the right side of my face was puffy. My back muscles felt tight. After a hot shower my air passage opened but the puffiness remained. While in the office I would find myself moving my mid section from side to side in an attempt to stretch my back, it increased that back pain but I kept doing it in an attempt to have it pop like a chiropractic adjustment as I felt it would help. I was still bloated especially at night.

The following morning the back pain, right nasal congestion, puffy on the right side of the face and cerum valve pain increased. The cecum valve pain was like a pointed knife being twisted at that spot. I also have some burning when passing stool. After passing stool the pain become about 25% less intense. The rest of the day was much like the previous day.

The following morning all symptoms were increased except for the nasal congestion which was about 33% better than the day before but it is lasting longer. Today I felt very disappointed in how I am feeling and my attitude is somewhat concerned that I am feeling this way. Noises tend to bother me, as I seem to be very, very focused on what ever I am doing. I also get stressed about the littlest things and tend to hold on to them. I am also somewhat of a perfectionist. It is only the morning here so I am not sure what the remainder of the day will bring.

Lycopodium 200 3 doses.A dose is 4 to 5 pellets.

Take first thing in the morning.Just rinse your mouth with water,and keep the pellets under tongue till they get dissolved.

Don't brush till atleast for half an hour.

Make sure that there are no odors around you,on you(perfumes etc),and in your mouth,while taking the medicine.

repeat in the same way in morning day 2 and day 3.

try to post progress everyday.

So I will be placing 4 to 5 pellets x 3 = 12 to 15 pellets under my tongue each day for 3 days or is it 4 to 5 pettets per day for 3 days.

I just want to be sure as I have never done it this way.

4 to 5 pellets per day.

bandarbabu2000 last decade
I took 4 pellets of Lycopodium 200 first thing Saturday morning, before taking it I still had the pain in the cecum valve area and my back. Saturday was an average day and I carried that pain throughout the day. I also remained bloated. I woke up at around 2:00 am with a very sharp piercing pain in my transverse colon, about 11/2 to 2 inches below my navel. I went to the bathroom and sat for about 5 minutes before having a bowel movement. Once finished the pained was reduced by about 75% and I went back to bed.

I woke up on Sunday with the same pain in the cecum valve and mid to lower back the pain seemed to be about 33% greater than the day before. In mid mind I disappointed to still feel these pains. I was also bloated this never went away. I also noticed that the bloating intensified about 1 hour after supper and remained until I fell asleep. I did not have a very good sleep last night as I tossed a great deal.

Stop the medicine.By now,you should have completed three doses.

When does the pain start?What time?

Yours is a chronic problem,and you have to expect slight worsening of the problem,which is called aggravation,in homeopathic parlence.After a few days,the pain should become less.

Are you able to attend to your normal duties?

Pl.try to give an hourly resume of your problems,which will help us a lot,in deciding next course of action.Keep a diary,and record and post the next day.

I also notice that I seem to dwell on all issues no matter how large or small, I am holding on to them.
