Mr. Murthy,
I must jinx myself every time I post 'I'm feeling better'. This afternoon had 'Nux' attack - as I am calling it. This was the following symptoms:
1) Urge for stool, however when at the toilet only flatulence and small amount of stool passed. Can feel stool recede up rectum/intestines.
2)Above followed by headache and angina like pains.
The symptoms have subsided but I am hoping that they don't reappear tomorrow. I wonder how, like clockwork, in the afternoons around 3pm or s o these symptoms appear. Amazing. Thanks for your help as always.

Observe for two more days, and see if the same pattern is repeating.
Once the headache starts, how long it is lasting?

Sir,
The headache last almost all day thereafter. If I go for a run or do some exercise it seems to go away. I'll keep you posted. I have a feeling like th Nux action is slowing down, but every now and again it rears its head! Thanks again for your help.

No. You are having periods of relief after the medicine. That means the remedy is working.
We will not leave a remedy that is working. We may have to increase the potency, increase the succussions, or increase the frequency of administration.
Observe closely, if moderate exercise is helping you. It may help us to choose the next medicine , in case required.

Mr. Murthy,
Thank you for your reply. My half-knowledge is dangerous! I never learn my lesson! However, thanks to discussion with you I have learned a little forbearance is worth it! I'll report back in two days. Thanks ever so much.

Mr. Murthy,
Is there any general duration for specific potencies - i.e. a 200c potency will last x weeks? I'm sure it is remedy specific but are there any generalities? Thanks.

It again depends on the individual, the possibility of antidoting it unknowingly and the type of problem.
Homeopathy is very complicated, and hence difficult to master.
However, if you study systematicaly, you can attain some proficiency, but there is no end.
Even a life time of serious study is not enough. There is so much to learn.

The 'duration of action' you often see mentioned in books is only a surmise, and not at all dependable, for any potency.

Mr. Murthy,
Thank you. I had another Nux attack this morning. Not as severe, but still palpable. I thought it only occurred in the afternoon. But now and again I seem to experience the effects in the morning. My biggest fear is that I have done permanent damage. But, these symptoms - especially angina and headache - I know are related to Nux, as I never had such problems before. Is there any remedy that corrects ineffectual stools due to peristalsis irregularity other than Nux?

Check whether you are really better after exercise. It is important.
Meanwhile repeat Nat.mur after succussion as suggested.

Mr. Murthy,
My headache is definitely ameliorated by some exercise. Its cause is due to irregular peristalsis. I'm sure of it, as I see it start sometimes after a meal - congestive headache. Or, after ineffectual stool - a headache that is piercing and stupefying. Both have pressure behind the eyes. As a matter of fact, I can see that by the end of the day, after these headaches, the outer corners of my eyes are tinged red. If the motion of the intestines is settled I think all my problems would clear. I only wish there was some analog to Nux in these matters.

Mr. Murthy,
I should add, the bowel symptoms seem to be related to reverse action of the rectum and even inactivity of the rectum. I experienced simliar symptoms some time ago - before I ever started taking Nux - after drinking too much tea. Very strange, but similiar results by excess tea and excess Nux!

Mr. Murthy,
Not yet. I will do so tonight. By the way, is there a proper time to take Nat mur? Nux, for example, is said to be taken in the evening before bed. Are there any such directions for Nat Mur? Thanks for your help as always.

No such restrictions for Nat.Mur. We will try out one more dose of Nat.mur and observe response.

Mr. Murthy,
I found this on the internet http://www.hpathy.com/materiamedica/hahnemann-materia-pura/n....
Constipation, and the same time rush of blood to the head.
Constipation, as from constriction and contraction of the bowels.
Constipation, as from inactivity of the bowels.
My symptoms to the letter. Must be Nux poisioning. I hope it isn't permanent.

Sir,
The other thing, if you won't mind entertaining me!, concerns antidoting. Commonly, coffee, camphor are supposed to antidote. I've tried them individually, combined, one after the other, etc. NO such luck. Perhaps, they may interfere with the medicine upon ingestion but I don't think they have any effect thereafter. Isopathy, too, seems to have no results and may even compound the situation. I've been suffering for 5 months now! If ever someone needs to be warned about perils of overdosing they need to only review this thread!

Please take one more dose of Nat.mur as suggested and come back, after two days.
We may have to move back to Sepia soon. I don't feel like experimenting with nux. right now.
For your information Nat.mur and Sepia are complimentaries, whose action on the bowels is similar to Nux.v, in the aspects you mentioned.
The better from exercise is a good indication for sepia.
Let us first make sure that nat.mur is no longer helping you, before trying out sepia again.
Get it out of your mind that there is permanent damage.

Sir,
Thanks for your reassurance. It is as worthwhile as your prescription! I'm hoping it will clear up soon. I notice some dissipation - i.e. the waking at 3am symptom of Nux seems to have vanished. I'll keep my fingers crossed and keep you posted. Repeated Nat Mur dose tonight. Hopefully, tomorrow finds me fine and fit! Thanks again, sir.

Mr. Murthy,
Took dose of Nat Mur last night. Today, so far, stools are dry and large but no reverse peristalsis. I've noticed this effect of Nat mur on me. However, the cold symptoms I usually find have not developed. I'm hoping for the best. Thanks again.

o.k.
Let us see how long this effect lasts. Come back immediately after you observe any changes.
Don't take any further dose, until we assess the situation.

Mr. Murthy,
On a somewhat less hopeful note, I had a very restless sleep - only 4 hours. This is not a good sign, correct?

Sir,
I think your selection of Nat Mur is dead on. I noticed that it also has some effect on the heart. I've been noticing a sort of poking feeling the cardiac region. I hope it will eventually lead to a cure of my angina pains.
