But there has been periods of time when I have been feeling better. But 1,5 year ago I had an infection with fever and throat pain and after that my joints are aching and sometimes they are swollen. I also have a TMJ disorder with radiating pain in the face, jaw, and neck,

What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? I have sometimes constipation and then I feel worse both tired and aching joints. If I am not constipated I have diarrhea in the mornings, I feel better when the stool is loose.
What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? I feel that I am in a heeling process probably due to the homeopathic remedies I have been taking. It,s like many old stuff is coming to mind and a lot of old feelings to deal with. I feel like I am cleaning my inner space up I have a lot of suppressed anger that comes up. I have a lot of issues from the childhood that makes me suffer. I have been very irritated before but that has been much better. My mood is much happier. Now I am just so tired, I am so tired I can hardly get up from bed. Everything is very hard to do, I have to force myself to do the housework and so on I am so tired
When did it all start? Well, I seem to have a weak immunsystem since I was a child and I get very easely tired and exhausted, not much energy. I am a very happy and openminded person. I like people and like nature, animals and flowers. I am very positiv, and have a lot of ideas but not so much energy to do things.
What are the things which aggravate or ameliorate your suffering? Cold and windy weather. I just can´t bear it. My hands and feet are very cold. I f I am hungry I feel very bad, have to eat often.
When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather? I like hot weather, I don´t like when the weather is changing, pain in the joints due to weather changes. The wind is the main problem, I like cold weather if it is not windy.
What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions? I crave sweet, sugar and coffea. I like warm and saucy food, hot soups. I don´t like fruit so much.
How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive? I think normal but somedays v ery thirsty in the mornings.
How if your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive? I need to eat often, I get anxious when hungry.
How is your bowel movement and stool type (Constipation etc.)? Depends on what I am eating, if I don´t eat a lot of fibre I get constipated and then I feel very bad. I also get constipated when I am anxious and if something unusual happens. I need to follow routins. Usually I have diarrhea in the mornings.
How sleep, how are your dreams? I have nightmares often. It´s almost always about some terrible things that have happened in my life. I have some themes: When I was a little baby my mother and I had to run from my father that was very violent. We packed our things and ran from home. I was very scared and I am dreaming about this packing and escaping a lot. I also was engaged with a man 20 years ago that was very violent and I dream a lot of him. That he is hunting me and that I am escaping from him. I am very frightened when I wake up. I also have dreams about that someone is hunting me and my children. I am very scared of that someone is going to hurt my children. I have a lot of nightmares about dangerous men that is taking my children and we have to escape from then. I am saving my children in my dreams, and wakes up totally exhausted.
Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? Gets very tired of being with people, needs to be alone with family and to have a calm environment.
What medications have been taken earlier? I have tried a lot of remedies the last 8 months. I have not written down exactly for how long and so on but here is a brief description. Kalium phos 6X this I ate for at least three months and this made me feel much better mentally. I am now more stable psychologically and I am not so anxious anymore. Very good! I have eaten as I sad before Rhus tox 6x and some CM. It helped at first but it seems to get worse now in my joints. I think the problem is coming back again. It helped a little bit for a while. Ihave also taken ignatia CM 3-4 times and I think that this wasn´t good for me. I got very dizzy, spiritually opened and dreamt a lot of strange dreams. I now know that you have to be very careful with especially the high potencies. I now eat only Natrium phos 6X but I have not noticed any changes. I have also been taken some complex remedies with hepar sulf for my red throat and this has helped me very much.
How do you look like (Appearance (fat, thin, smart, tall, lean etc)? I am very thin and quit tall. Light hair with blue eyes. I am a positive, and happy person. Very communicative.
If your are female how is your menstrual cycles and from how long (normal, irregular, painful, clotted, colour etc.) It always comes at the same time, very regular, it is very small amount and is dark colour and clotted. I sometimes have bog problems with PMS. Very irritable and angry and after a few days I cry a lot. But the last months this has not been the case, maybe due to homeopathic remedies
Family history - What major diseases are running in your family? Fibromyalgia, ADHD, cancer, a lot of nervous and mental diseases.
Any other information? I feel as a weak person. I get easy colds and they last for weeks. I always seem to have low energy. My greatest wish is to get help in finding my constitutional remedy and hopefully get a longlasting relief
Thankyou very much for your time and effort1

Thankyou all for your response! I have already been to the healthstore and they have ordered the Nat mur 200CH. I will get it tomorrow or the next day...
I will also try to describe my mental symptoms for you dr sharma.
Mental Symptoms: First of all I have to emphazise that my mental symptoms have changed dramatically to the better for the last 6 months. I belive it is due to kalium phos and rus thox and maybe ignatia. You see I have tried some remedies and am not sure of which has helped me. I am much calmer now but still I am an anxious type. I do get very upset when it comes to especially my children. My greatest concern is whether they feel okej or not. If they are unbalanced I worry a lot about them. I get easily overwhelmed by things. I engage in things which are important for me and totally drain myself from energy. Overenthusiastic. The things that have been better is that I usually have a lot of suppressed anger that pops up from time to time especially the week before period. I am angry with my husband and other people. The anger remaines a couple of days and then I get very lachrymose and feel so much love to my family. This anger is a lot better nowadays. I fear a lot of doing mistakes especially at work, I fear not being good enough. I feel very lazy and have trouble to get things done. When I have started it feels much better. I am very tired and lazy. Just feel that I need to rest and sleep all the time. I can also be very dominating with my familymembers and I try hard not do because I really don´t like that part of me. Another thing is that I feel like I am stuck with the things in the past. I have trouble letting go all old stuff that has happened in my life. My mind is often concerned thinking about childhood and earlier things that has happened. I want to let go and go on with my life now. If I don´t get my sleep, regularly food or something else happens that makes me unbalanced I get very irritated and angry. I have big trouble dealing with unexpected things that occur. I need to have some control over the situation and I think the reason is because I have not so much energy so I have to be careful not to drain it. I am very quick in mind both in thinking and talking, changeable and I am very forgetful, impulsive. It´s sometimes difficult to live with me becaus I have new ideas all the time and start new projects but has limited endurance to finish things. I get easily bored and is in some ways quiet restless. But I can also sit and do nothing for days to recharge my batteries. Things that makes me better is staying at home and follow strict routines. Being in the nature, I love animals. I hope this will help or otherwise ask me some more..
Thamkyou very much for your time and effort.

Hello again,
It has now been ten days since I took the prescription of Nat mur 200c 3 doses on one day. The first 3-4 days I felt better. No headache, more energy. I dreamt very vividly during the first nights. After four days I got worse again, headache in the mornings, pain in the joints especially my hips and wrists. My breast got very swollen and sore. The last three days I have been feeling very frustrated, angry and irritated with my family. (These problem are probably due to PMS, but this time they seems much worse than normally)
Thankyou very much for your time and effort I will wait for your reply on what to do next.

please continue NAT MUR 200C once in every 3 to 4 days. take it for two to three weeks based on your condition.
finally, you can take NAT MUR 1M one dose every week for three weeks.

Thankyou very much for your prescription. It seems like the remedy is working for me now. I took one dose on monday and it only took one hour until I was feeling much more energy. I could get up from bed in the afternoon which is unusual for me. But the next day I was totally anxiety-ridden, felt terrible. It lasted for about one day and then resided. At thursday I got tired again and the headache came back. I took another dose of Nat mur 200c and felt better again. I am still feeling much better, more energy, happier, sleep better.....I feel that an so much is going on in my body. thankyou for your advise on this remedy. I thank you from all of my heart.

Dear homeopathic doctors,
It has now been about 4 and a half months since I got the prescription from you. The prescription was to take Natrium Mur. It has helped me a lot and I have taken 200C potency for about three months (june, july, august). then I have taken Nat Mur CM (our health store doesn´t have the potency 1M which you suggested) once a week in september. For the last three weeks I have not taken anything and I have been very much worse. Many symptoms came back like very tired, pain in joints and muscles, headache, depressed and so on. Yesterday I took one single dose of Nat mur CM and today I am getting better again. I just want to check with you if it is ok to continue taking Nat Mur CM once a week. And for how long do you think I will do this....
Thankyou so much for this prescription! You have given my life back again. I completely understand that it will take time to become fully healthy again because I have been suffering for about 10 years...
Sincerely Mrs Pia

please note that CM is a very very high potency and can give you long term aggravation.
please dont use it in such short intervals.
if the symptoms are re-appearing even after taking a few doses of CM potency, the case should be taken all over again. its possible that nat mur is not the similimmum at all.
otherwise, for the time being, please take CM only when the symptoms return. please dont take it every week.
a dose every month for three or four months is ok at the most.
please dont use it in such short intervals.
if the symptoms are re-appearing even after taking a few doses of CM potency, the case should be taken all over again. its possible that nat mur is not the similimmum at all.

Hallo again,
Thankyou for your answer! I am not going to take the Nat mur again as I felt worse again after one day. I fell fatigue, headache, pain in my joints, earpain and so on again. I did feel better but only for a half day or so. the strange thing is that the homeopath here in Sweden says that taking homeopathy can neder cause any aggravation no matter the potency. If it is not the simillium nothing will happen she says. I am getting confused by this. I am worried that the severe headache I have is an aggravation from Nat mur. Is it possible that you may take another look at my case again. After taking the Nat mur my mental mode changed in a few hours from being irritated and angry to become very sad. I cried and felt depressed but after I felt better and more happy. It was like Nat mur cracked the anger and I came in contact with my sad feelings.
Thankyou so much!

please take ARS ALB 12C or 30C some 2 to 3 doses on a single day.
this is to antidote you in case you are suffering from any aggravation.
if you feel little relaxed with taking ARS ALB, continue it till you are completely ok.
after a week,if you still have some ailments, you should fill up my questionnair so that i could have a look at your real symptoms at present.

Dear Rishimba,
It has now been a half year since our last conversation. During this period I have tried some different remedies from the advise of a local homeopath. It has not been successful at all. Too many remedies mixed up and during too long periods. First of all I took Sepia D12 in december. At first I had a severe aggravation, I felt emotionally collapsed. Old feelings and traumas came up and accelerated about for one week. Then I was feeling better slowly. But after a few weeks of taking Sepia nothing more happened. Then I was taking Phosphor D30 for one month and I felt a little better mentally. I felt a bit stronger mentally and calmer. But then it stopped. About 6 weeks ago I took one dose of NAT MUR CM and the headache started and was not feeling good at all. 3 weeks ago I took one dose of Sepia CM and here I am. The Sepia did once again cause an severe aggravation with old traumas and feelings coming up. I also have had headache and sore throat, cold and feverish. The last week I have only been so very tired almost like a zombie...I just want to sleep...I also feel dizzy and vertigo.
Now I don´t know what to do. Do you think that I should antidote all the remedies I have been taking and is Ars alb still a choice to do that?
Maybe I should fill in your questionnaire becaus so many things have changed since I gave the first information.
Best wishes

Dear,
Thankyou for your interest in my case. I am quite confused about the Sepia CM i took 3 weeks ago. I don´t know if it works or if not. i have tried to fill in the fomr below. Some things are better after the Sepia but some things are worse.
Patient ID: Sex: Woman Age: 38 Nature of work: administrator Habits: family, householding, horseriding
Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.
1. Describe your main suffering? I first must say that the aggravations from the Sepia CM I took has been better. Before I was VERY irritated with my family and now I am better. I feel calmer more mental stability somehow. These weeks I have gone through a severe headache, itching in the skin and genital area. I have been quite depressed and VERY tired, totally exhausted. But after a few days I started to sleep better, then the itching disappeared and the headache also.
Now I still am tired but it is a little better but still is a big problem. I also feel dizzy. My skin is very dry and I have a new kind of itching that is more related to the dryness in skin, on elbows especially. The main suffering right now is the fatigue, with low energy to do things. I want to sleep and lay down often. Sometimes headache.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? Some pain in my joints but it is very mild nowadays. Constipation and a lot of gas in abdomen, haemorrhoids.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? Mental work tires me very much, especially at work when I have to do a lot of thinking. It is like my brain doesn´t work at all, like brainfog. I have low self-esteem and I am often afraid not to manage to do things successfully at work. Afraid to not be good enough. Before the Sepia I was very irritated but now I feel like I am quite apathetic like I have a filter from my emotions.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words. Like zombie, I just want to sleep. I want to get away and be alone. The familysituation feels overwhelming, with too much work and worries about the children.

I first had a caraccident but wasn´t hurt fysically, then I was physically abused by a man and when I was 22 my husband was unfaithful. These memories keep coming up in dreams and so on. I feel like I can´t let these things go especially the last one. The other thing that made my condition much worse is when I had my first baby 12 years ago. Since then I have been very tired from time to time. My son has ADHD also and there has been a lot problems and still are. This often takes all my energy from me.

Thankyou for your interest in my case. I am quite confused about the Sepia CM i took 3 weeks ago. I don´t know if it works or if not. i have tried to fill in the fomr below. Some things are better after the Sepia but some things are worse.
Patient ID: Sex: Woman Age: 38 Nature of work: administrator Habits: family, householding, horseriding
Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.
1. Describe your main suffering? I first must say that the aggravations from the Sepia CM I took has been better. Before I was VERY irritated with my family and now I am better. I feel calmer more mental stability somehow. These weeks I have gone through a severe headache, itching in the skin and genital area. I have been quite depressed and VERY tired, totally exhausted. But after a few days I started to sleep better, then the itching disappeared and the headache also.
Now I still am tired but it is a little better but still is a big problem. I also feel dizzy. My skin is very dry and I have a new kind of itching that is more related to the dryness in skin, on elbows especially. The main suffering right now is the fatigue, with low energy to do things. I want to sleep and lay down often. Sometimes headache.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? Some pain in my joints but it is very mild nowadays. Constipation and a lot of gas in abdomen, haemorrhoids.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings? Mental work tires me very much, especially at work when I have to do a lot of thinking.

i think SEPIA is the right choice but the selection of the potency was not correct.
many of your symptoms are physical in nature and thus repeated doses of SEPIA 200C at appropriate intervals would cure you better.
if you want to reduce the aggravations of sepia cm i would suggest to take PULSATILLA 30C some doses every 4 hours on a single day.
note your conditions during the next 7 days and then if the symptoms still remain, you should take SEPIA 200C one dose every week for some 3 to 4 weeks.
gradually, you should move upwards to SEPIA 1M noting all your changes.
do not jump to a higher potency unless its required.
keep me posted.

Dear Rishimba,
Thankyou for you reply! You are probably right about that the potence is too high although I want to clarifye that my biggest consern is the mental/emotional problems that is the depression, irritation and the fatigue. The fysical matters is much more standable...
As the most troublesome aggravations has reduced by now maybe I just can wait and take some 200C when I am starting to get worse again, what do you think?
The problem is also that I can´t get 1M here in Sweden. They only sell following potencies D6, D12, D30,D200,CM
So I have to choose between 200 and CM...I guess?

pia,
please take SEPIA D200 one dose whenever you feel down.
if the symptoms return, you can repeat it after 4 to 5 days or more.
this will take care of your mental and physical problems.

Dear,
I have now ordered Sepia D200 and will have it in a few days but I am now even worse than I was before I took the Sepia CM. Can this be a socalled palliation? Is it possible that Sepia is not right for me? I´m sorry to ask again but I don´t want to take more remedies if I am not sure it is the right one. As my case is chronical since many years and I am very sensitive to homeopathy. My condition is not strong and I really have to be careful. Now I feel totally fatigue, I just lie in bed all day. As soon as standing up I feel as I am going to faint. I have pain in the head, a heavy feeling from the neck and forward. I feel very weak and I think the bloodpressure is very low.
Do you still think that I will test the Sepia D200 when it comes to see what happens?
If Sameer is reading I really would appreciate your opinion on my case too?
I hope you don´t think I am being not polite!

this is probably the aggravation of the CM potency.
please take PULSATILLA 12C or 30C some doses on a single day and note the changes. this is to antidote the effect of sepia cm.
you can also take a few cups of strong black coffee to nutralise the effect of sepia.

Dear Rishimba,
I have been antidoting with Pulsatilla and coffee and I am now feeling better. I have more energy but still headache but not all the time. I got more irritated again after the pulsatilla, I guess that Sepia helped me with that before. I have now Sepia D200 at home and will take this tomorrow or the next day.
Thankyou for your time and effort!
Sincerely Pia

Dear,
I have now taken Sepia D200 four doses.
No 1: April 30th
No 2: May 5th
No 3: May 20th
No 4: May 25th
I have been having reactions after the first and the third dose. Headache, VERY angry, irritated for a few days and then better...emotions up and down...
I slept better, more relaxed, have been hot flushes in the night with sweating...
My status now is like this. I cannot say for sure that I am better in general. I do feel different than before the Sepia. I am a bit warmer, probably better circulation. The MAIN PROBLEM right now is that I have ups and downs mentally. Sometimes I feel very happy and full of energy and then I feel very depressed and totally axhausted again. Only wants to lay down and sleep...Some days I am very negative, only thinking negative thoughts..like wanting to be alone, wanting to get away, to have peace and silence. Feel very stressful when being with the kids and family...cannot take any stressful moments.. I have stiff muscles in the back, the neck and between shoulders...Mild pain in the joints (not so bothersome).
It is hard trying to observe myself, ofcourse I am not objective. It might be that I am getting better VERY SLOWLY or else it is the aggravations from Sepia that is reducing....I don´t know for sure....
Some days I think I am getting better and some days I think that I am not...How can I be sure?
What do you think about this? I am not planning to take any more doses of Sepia D200 or should I?
Thankyou so much for your time and effort!
Best regards Pia

it seems you are going through the healing crisis. these fluctuations in the moods will gradually go down and overall improvement will be seen.
please dont take any more doses of sepia for some weeks.
i was always advocating to gradually go up in the potency.
unnecessary use of CM potency earlier is the cause of these fuctuations.
the right sequence to take care of any physical or mental ailment in homeopathy is to start at a low potency and gradually go up on return of symptoms. once a threshold potency is reached which brings about a cure, the remedy should then be stopped.
