The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Chiari Malformation, Syringomyelia, Sleep Apnea....
Hello, please be patient with me. I have been reading the forums for acouple weeks now thinking that I could find my own fix. However, Im a little
overwhelmed and dont want to overload on remedies that may do nothing or
intensify.
Im actually quite embarrassed at most of things I am including however, when
your desperate, you'll open up for any kind of relief.
In 2003 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation (the cerebellum decends out
of the skull into the spinal area blocking the csf flow). This is the
shortest explanation I can give. This in turn caused Sryingomyelia ( a small
cyst in my cervical spine.) I am told I was born with the anomally, which
symptoms began with after the birth of my second child. In 2006 I was
diagnosed with Sleep Apnea, which is also another addition of the Chiari. I
have not had surgery for this because the outcomes are sometimes worse than
the intial reason for surgery. I feel that though I am very limited at
times, I am not broken. Being that it took almost 8 years to diagnose me, I
was told that surgery may not alleviate as much due to the longevity of
illness and the damage it has caused to muscles and nerves. So....... I am
looking to treat symptoms homeopathically.
Though the symptoms vary greatly at times, the common ones are.
Extreme pain in legs, left one worse.
Numbness in hands, feet
Headaches in the occipital region.
Extreme Swelling of left ankle and foot.
Cognitive memory issues. (I often lose track of thought while speaking and
go blank. Forget who I just talked to on the phone.)
Muscle spasms in chest and back (triggered by just a small movement at times)
Sleep disturbances. (Apnea-new, Narcolepsy-new, Paralysis-lifelong)
Extreme fatigue
All over body pain. (flu like feelings)
Digestive Issues
Extreme light sensitivity.
Depression (obviously)
Feelings of uselessness, from lack of doing much.
Sedentary, from slowly adding to an already overweight issue.
Easily irritated by noise, specially in groups.
These disorders bring other issues that re occur but not often enough to be
an annoyance at this time.
Though I am embarrased at my lifestyle these days, this is my general make-up
I am 37
Extremely overweight. 271lbs (I know this adds to the pains and apnea
issues.)
Heavy Smoker (working on quitting)
Extreme cravings for sugar
Very Sedentary due to weight gain, pain.
ADHD
I also have many tooth decay issues due to my lifestyle. That have worsened alot lately.
I was taking naproxen and cylcobenzaprine but have decided that I wish to
remove myself from the medical community as much as possible. I cannot
afford surgeries and treatments and feel that I can help myself much more
than they can at this point.
I am used to moving at a fast pace, those with ADHD understand the gift of
multi-tasking that made our childhoods a horror. My body used to keep up
with my mind up until all the symptoms started in 1997.
I realize this is alot of information and am looking for a direction to take.
I can communicate through email if you wish. I am also wondering if there is
a directory of Homepathic Doctors of which I can seek someone in my area.
At this point, I just need a direction back to my life.
Thank you so much,
Melissa

Hi there thank you for your response.
My predominant mental sensation when Im at my worst is: frustration, anger (which I attribute to feeling like Im not in control of the illness, I think), and fear of what will pop up next and how long will I be down.
Im not sure I understand the physical sensation but I will try to give it anyway. Physically, on a daily basis, is no energy or motivation (scale of 1-10) about 8 1/2. If I have energy, it is the pain that keeps me otherwise down.
At my worst, its the feeling of flu, pain all over my body, with my legs being the worst.
I hope this has not confused my case, if you have other questions feel free to ask them I am not afraid to tell you whatever you need to know if it will help in the long run.
Thanks again

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
-Frequent, loose upon eating meals and very rapidly after dinner
18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
-I dont sleep until my body is ready to fall at most times, I think this is a fear of paralysis during sleep. I like to sleep on my stomach though it creates pain in my back.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
-Used to have healthy libido, lately I dont crave sexual relations much. Some of this I think is attributed to pain.
20. Do you have any strange, peculiar or unusual symptom or feelings? How are you different from others?

I am prescribed with Naproxen 500 mg twice a day, and Cyclobenzaprine? 1 pill before bedtime. But I do not take them unless Im extreme. Probably take them 3 to 4 times a week. But I have to be in pretty bad shape, I do not like to take pills as a rule. I did recently start taking a multi vitamin.

rishimba,
I recieved my PHOSPHORUS 200 C today. When you say dose, do you mean the recommended dose on the bottle of 4 drops in a teaspoon of water, 3 times in one day. I just want to be completely sure I do this right.
Thanks

you are correct. one dose would typically be three or four drops in some 20 ml of water.
sip it slowly and push the liquid around your mouth everytime you take a sip. this is for better absorption in your mouth.
the longer you take to finish the 20 ml fluid, the better it is for absorption.
keep the mouth clean and no food or water two hours after the dose.
take it in empty stomach, that is, keep a gap of one hour from food previously taken.
trust its clear.

The outcome for surgery is NOT usually worse than the result if this condition is permitted to follow its natural course. This is a very painful and dehabilitating disorder(other people without a Chiari malformation or syringomyelia have NO IDEA) that will not respond to any homeopathic treatment(see the clinical trials)other than in topical application for surface symptoms. You must investigate this further with regard to surgical decompression. I had the surgery 2 years ago. I had a massively enlarged syrinx and very severe Chiari malformation(undiagnosed for 14 years). I feel better. It has taken 2 years to make progress but I can now walk(I could not) I can breathe better(I was compromised) I can think better(I am getting a Master's degree in behavioral education). Chiari is not a vague and imprecise condition. It is a chronic neurological disorder that requires bravery to tackle and support to overcome. Your health is not about a series of minor and accumulating conditions that can be treated or even viewed alone. Chiari will compromise your health as a systemic disorder. My heart goes out to you as I suffered from much the same symptoms as you did for many years. The answer is to address the underlying condition.
I live in New Zealand. It was a very big deal to have this condition diagnosed and treated. Things are , however, much, much better.
I have rejoined the human race , able to exercise and function again without extreme fatigue, pain, breathing difficulties, swallowing difficulties, gait problems, sleep aponea etc etc etc.
Can you at least investigate , using several sources, the options for decompression?

The outcome for surgery is NOT usually worse than the result if this condition is permitted to follow its natural course.

Hi everyone, sorry for my lack of reponse.
To others that have inquired about the results of the Phosphorous 200c... I did honestly try the remedy, the way it was prescribed, and waited the given days. I didnt notice any relief.
To Mandy, thank you for your reply and concern. Surgery treatment for some is a godsend. Chiari and Syringomyelia are certainly vague disorders. Not everyone deals with the same pain levels or reponds to the treatment the same. Believe me when I say that I have in fact researched, researched and researched some more on the surgery treatment. I also am part of www.conquerchiari.org. I have been with the community since 2003 at its start. I volunteered as a Graphic Artist for the organization and have been with them ever since. For those that have been recently diagnosed this is a great website for information.
Decisions to have surgery are left in the mind and heart of the sufferer. There are some, who feel surgery opens sort of a pandora's box, there are others that it helps dramatically. I would never give some one an opinion to NOT have surgery...It is truly a personal decision. I am very happy that your surgery brought about relief, that is awesome, you are one of few with such an awesome outcome. Thank you for your reply its nice to hear from patients with good outcomes.
Thank you rishimba for your help in this matter as well.

i have been waiting for your feedback since long.
please take NAT MUR 200C three doses on a single day and note your overall response for the next 1 month.
you can also try ARS ALB and CALC one by one and see which one gives response.
you have nothing to lose.

Thank you, contrary to belief, I am aware that homeopathy wil not cure my disorders, the whole intent is to treat it symptomatically. I will get back with you on the other suggestions, and your are right I have nothing to lose here.
I also want to ask, might be a little off topic, but after much reading into these two remedies, it seems they could be of use to me. What are are your opinions on Bioplasma and Biochemic Phosphates. Both are geared at the cellular level, correct me if Im wrong.
Thank You

suzee, you are right. in such cases, where the pathogenesis originates from a structural anomaly, its not always possible to CURE the situation either by allopathic medicines or homeopathy. surgery may be of help.
homeopathy is based on symptoms and thus, an emilioration of your sufferings can be observed if the symptoms match.
look at nat mur in the materia medica and check if its close to your totality. in case you find a remedy close to your totality, it will definitely bring palliation if not a cure.
each biochemic salt is linked to one or more functions of the body theoretically and also the organ of the body. if a suitable biochemic salt is found out in your case, you should get benifit although in such cases, use of biochemics is not proven.

Rishimba,
Thank you...I will certainly try nat mur and get back with you. I am having a hysterectomy on the 28th..should I wait to try this? Im not sure I can trust that my outcome will not be thrown off by the surgery.

I suffered with the exact same symptoms as you practically spot on aside from the over weight thing...luckily I have a high metabolism,slender figure and also happen to be a sex addict..lol. But yea do see my dentist twice a month for crowns and fillings bc can't stop consuming food and especially the sweets...oh those sweets. Point to my tale ~ had the surgery 3 years back just in time before my brain flooded..even had a stroke in the 6th hour of surgery. Having a slightly malformed skull my surgeon actually had to customize the titanium plates during the operation. After spending 3 months in rehab learning to walk again, went back home and every single day I feel better than the one before. I'm still on disability (finally won my case last month) bc of my inability to remain still and coordination & balance still bot normal..but life is soooooo much better than before. Forget pills and silly therapy, get the surgery and smoke medicinal marijuana. That is the cure for Chiari & Syringomyelia. I also have dengenerating joints so helps with that tremendously. Good luck :)
