Will do. Right now I feel very bloated.

What about the pain?
 
Astra2012 last decade
The main is mainly across the middle back, and about 70% of what it usually is in the cecum valve area.

Friday's update:


During the remainder of the day the bloated ness was still strong as mentioned and the pain across the back was still strong.
Saturday Morning: upon waking my back still aches across the back, this time my left nostril was congested instead of my right and my colon still felt constricted, it is holding on to everything it makes passing stool difficult. I had another good sleep last night. I have some work to do around the house today so my mood is that I am a bit of anxious to get it completed.

Thank you Merisel-keep posting.I will ask you additionally some questions on Monday.
 
Astra2012 last decade
During the remainder of Saturday I was still bloated and the back pain moved up a bit to my kidney area I did notice that since the cecum valve was feeling a bit better since Friday I had bad halitosis. My transverse colon was now sensitive, below my navel.

I went to be last night and had a good sleep, I woke up this morning and I was congested on the right nostril and puffy in my face on the same side. The back pain was very strong in my kidney region. The cecum valve pain was there but not as strong as the back pain. My colon still feels like it is holding on to everything. I am still somewhat disappointed in how I feel. My energy level throughout this is still about a 61/2 out of a ten.

Hello Meriseel
Thank you for your posts.
today is a weeek since your last dose of lycopodium. I wish Murthy was here to evaluate but he left some instructions.
When you compare now and before lyc. (but without hydrochloric acid) how do you rate (e.g. in %, 100% before lyc)
1. your backeche and cecum valve pain
2. your tiredness
3. your irritability
4. your feeling bloated
4. your sllep (that is feeling refreshed after sleep)?
 
Astra2012 last decade
Your request is not clear but I will do my best to answer accurately.

1. your backache and cecum valve pain – back pain 130% but moved to both sides and about the kidney area, the cecum valve is about 40% better
2. your tiredness – 25% improvement
3. your irritability – 20% improvement
4. your feeling bloated – same or worse
4. your sleep (that is feeling refreshed after sleep)? My sleep is good but I am tired upon waking, this is worse by about 30%

hi Merisel
Thank you-that's what I meant exactly.
Please take ARSENICUM ALBUM 200c, one dose only (3-5 pellets)-one hour after and before eating. (and of course do not take any medications, avoid coffee and things containing camphor, there shouldn't be strong smells when you open the vial with remedy.
and of course-write updates! Thanks.
 
Astra2012 last decade
Will do!

Monday update:

I took the Arsenicum Album as instructed at about 7:00 pm. I went to bed feeling bloated and tight in the abdominal area and my stomach was a bit upset. Upon waking first thing I felt was a backache on my right mid back. It was not as piercing as before but I felt like I wanted to stretch it. I also had some sensitivity in the transverse colon area and about 11/2 inches below my navel; it makes me feel sick a bit nauseous. I still have the pain in the cecum valve area but not as intense as before it is sensitive to pressure and I still have halitosis and some nasil congestion on the right side.

Thanks Merisel.
How's your BM?
 
Astra2012 last decade
I had a small one this morning, but it burnt a bit while passing.

I keep recommending this since I really believe it is a great thing: recommended by dr. Johanna Budwig, 6-times nominee to Nobel (so her credentials are a bit better than mine :)):
FRESHLY ground flaxseeds (2-3 tbsp) mix (immediately) with a cup of lowfat cottage cheese (or yogurt)
mix well. The idea is to "fix" linoleic acid of seeds with sulphur-rich proten in cheese-and you will get the best oils possible!
Of course is best to use organic (without toxins) ingredients.
If you can-eat it even every day.
 
Astra2012 last decade
So for the remainder of Tuesday and all remained as stated yesterday. So I purchased all the organic ingredients you suggested, mixed them up and at about 8:15 pm I ate it. About 1 ½ hours after eating it I was even more bloated and had some cramping in my abdominal area. I went to bed feeling the same. I woke up at about 3:17 am with stronger cramps and I had to have a bowel movement. I felt like I drained everything out of me. After this the pain subsided. I went back to sleep and upon waking I noticed that the cecum valve pain was about 25% of when we first started with this and the back pain was only in the middle right side and 40% of what is was originally. I felt great but my energy level was a bit lower than normal. After having lunch I felt bloated again, but my thirst has increased.

Thanks Mersel!
That huge BM was a great news - too bad it had to be in the middle of the night. Hopefully it will get better with time. Keep posting.
 
Astra2012 last decade
Merisel: maybe you could eat it earlier in the day?
(I eat mine for lunch without problems)?
 
Astra2012 last decade
The remainder of Wednesday I felt good, I took my Yogurt mix at night because I did not mind getting up to go to the bathroom. I slept through the night and my wife told me that I snored very heavily, upon waking I had the pain in both the cecum valve and mid back (right side) as it was before starting with The Lycopodium intense pain and my colon seems to be holding on to everything. My right nostril is congested with some congestion on the left side. I hate this feeling. One observation is that you have told me “there shouldn't be strong smells when you open the vial with remedy” I just recently placed a strong scented air freshener in my car and yesterday I found the smell to be very strong. Could this play a part in my symptoms today, if so should I remove the air freshener and repeat the Arsenicum Album?

Merisel
 
merisel last decade
Did you open the vial where the air freshener was?
The point is in keeping the medicated pellets away from strong smells.Since the remedy seems so minute there is a popular belief that the medicated pelets lose their remedial power if they are exposed to strong smells.

Anyway- you were snoring because of this congestion. Hopefully it will also go away. You will probably need to repeat ars - but could you wait a day or two?
 
Astra2012 last decade
I did not open it where there were strong smells. The strong smell in my car was on the following day.

I'll be patient and wait a few days. I will keep posting my updates.

Hello Murthy and Astra,

I went thru' the whole case and thought about considering Nux Vomica (bloated feeling , worse in morning, blocked or stuffed up nostrils, thick white coated tongue, backache as a strong concomittant, and difficulty in passing stool ? ineffectual desire / scanty stool , chilly pt)

Regards.
 
magicure last decade
Thanks Merisel - in that case the remedies are fine (just when you open the vial you don't want any smells)- air freshener stays!

burning pains relieved by warmth. - it's a VERY typical arsenicum case!
 
Astra2012 last decade
I just noticed Magicure's note and my old Homeopath told me, a few years ago, that Nux Vomica (colubrina) is my constitutional remedy.

Hello Merisel,

I was thinking WHY arsenicum so abruptly stopped working and the only cause seems to be accidental antidoting of its action (before healing was completed-so this restrictions will not be for always)

So maybe this airfreshener antidoted it after all (can you think of other culprit?).
before repeating a dose you have to make sure they are all out.


btw I don't think it's nux here.- it covers not burning but spasm. Only ars has burning pains in cecal region relieved by warmth.

White tongue, constipation, chilliness? ars covers that too!

Thursday’s Update:

The remainder of Thursday was as it began, 100% pain in both the cecum valve & mid back. I went to bed and stirred all night and when I woke Friday morning the pain in back had intensified with the pain in the cecum valve also increasing about the same amount. So I took a hot bath for 11/2 hours. My back & neck (back and right side of neck) muscles are very tight, I constantly want to stretch them. I also noticed last night that I would kick the covers off my legs up to my knees.

As far as the air freshener I removed it from my car and left the car in the garage with the windows opened to get rid of the scent it started to make me nauseous.

Merisel
 
merisel last decade
yes-seems that it was the culprit after all!
please repeat ars alb 200c tonight - we'll see how it will do now.

Actually no strong scents -and no coffee-throughout the treatment.
Forget air fresheners...
