Yes Helios is a good source, it'll take time possibly between 5 to 14 days if you don't stay in UK. But if you can locate this LM1 near your vicinity, you can get that from there itself. Yes get granule/pill form.

Take kali phos. 6x for a week. Try to get lyc. LM1 in this period.

Okay. Thank you.

Will do this and respond.

Thank you. Just got the 2 medicines.

Just took 3 pills of Kali phos it is April 15 at 5 pm.

Will report back tomorrow.

( as background for today: have been studying all day today. Last night slept very late due to same problem of family member door / other noises late night early morning. Have shrill sound in ear even as I study. Feeling tired.)

Hi Hair loss

If you have Lyc. LM1 already in your hand, please stop the kali phos. and go ahead with the Lyc. doses as was mentioned in the post dated 31st march. If you have not got lyc. medicine yet, you can continue kali phos till you get the remedy.

Have lyc. Okay, will stop Kali.

Just documenting for Kali: Regarding Kali phos yesterday - Was feeling better after 2nd Kali does last night - got sleepy and clam. Fell asleep, woke up quite refreshed. Was able to study, feeling some sense of calm. (Would hope that my memory improves, have been feeling my memory is not strong, especially regarding studies). Still have sharp ringing in right ear (especially right).

Okay now onto Lyc. Thanks.

Sorry for late response. Am in a terrible state. Pls. read below.

Had been feeling great after Kali phos. Was able to read / study well, about 200 + pages a day. Had improved memory and was very good at grasping study material. Could not believe the progress and the positive energy. Had also been sleeping well at night.

... here's what happened after Lyc.:

Day 1: Took lyco followed exact directions. Not sure if drop size from the dropper was large - looked like a decent size drop (was not v small). Nothing major noticeable difference, except that at night in bed, I felt a sharp piercing pain deep in left ear that lasted for half a second. It came and went so quickly as it made a sound as if a very high pitch. Then there was no pain.

Day 2 (did not take Lyc per your instructions to take once in two days). Felt good on this day as well.

Day 3: No major difference / nothing new. Took the Lyc 2nd dose.
Still okay with studies.
Had to colour my hair since gray parts had started to show over the last few weeks.
Unfortunately, some colour touched the scalp in front of forehead. washed it off but I knew that may be a problem due to typical scalp reactions in the past.

Day 4: Nothing major in terms of new happening. Did not take Lyc on this day.

Day 5: Took lyc dose.

Day 6: Nothing major. Studied in day time and watched a TV movie at night around 8 pm.

Day 7: Saturday: This is when the trouble began. I woke up morning and got very upset as I was feeling like sleeping in. But a noise in the house woke me up. The relative kept making noises. I got very upset but did not say anything and tried to sleep. Had to wake up due to continued sounds.

Relative had messed up in kitchen putting lots of water on countertop. Communicated asking him not to do that in future. That is very unlike me. Normally I would not have done that. I felt as though the medicine had impacte dme somehow, nut sure how. But I was annoyed all morning. Didnt take my usual hot chocolate. Ate something pancake like - greasy. But felt a bit better (maybe was hungry?).

Had slight pain the back of neck, so went for a walk. Met a neigbor who commented on my gray hair. I didn't show it but I felt hurt and upset.

Then went to library to study. In the lib. it was awful.

sorry typo 'slight' above.

Also sneezed twice...not sure if that's meaningful.

Got my period this morning as well (still Sunday). Bright red flow when sitting, but pad shows brown/dry. Flow when passing urine. A few clots (have had clots and period details similar to last many months).

Regarding the neck pain, feeling as if neck may have a sprain?
 
Hair Loss last decade
Slept well last night. Had been tired.

Feeling much better in morning - almost back to normal, as if it never happened yesterday(??) Wow.

getting back to studies.

will report - hope all that never happens again. Wow again.
 
Hair Loss last decade

Hi Hairloss

probably i got this update a bit late:

'Had been feeling great after Kali phos. Was able to read / study well, about 200 + pages a day. Had improved memory and was very good at grasping study material. Could not believe the progress and the positive energy. Had also been sleeping well at night. '

---

What physical discomfort you got in terms of stiffness, pain(neck and arcs of shoulder), sprain like feelings---were these symptoms new for you? or you have experienced them before?

Please take a modified dose of Lyc. LM1 and report after 3 days. The modified dose is as follows:

Until you take a drop to the disposable cup, the procedure is similar, instead of taking dose directly from this disposable cup, transfer a teaspoon of solution from this cup to the SECOND disposable cup (in all respects it shall be similar to first one), give a couple of stirrings to the solution in the second cup, and from this cup take one teaspoon orally as a single dose.

Just read your instruction.

Will do it.
To answer your questions: Yes, have had similar symptoms in the past, when I had taken a previous exam, had been bent over to write - it was for many hours. Had also carried a heavy book-bag and traveled to and from stations and in trains. That day, by the time I got home, I had the pains. Used the neck-support while sleeping and felt fine next morning. So yes, this is familiar.

The day after the pains, was feeling better, but had an emotional upset when my relative said something untrue and nasty about me in the family. I got upset and said I was going to leave the house. Eventually discussed with husband and decided not to leave, settled peacefully. I cried a lot later.

Also my period lasted just for 2.5 days, and flow seemed to be less. Not sure if that had anything to do with the emotion/upset.

About 2 days after that...last night (I have not yet taken modified dose, will take after typing this) woke up thirsty, throat felt dry and felt 1 small lump/bump in throat. That too is familiar - it's a bump in throat on left side which comes and goes as it likes!! Drank water and went back to sleep. Today, studied and afternoon - realized the same bump was still there, except now was feeling flu like symptoms. (this is familar - have had bumps/acidic like throat during a previous flu/virus explained in my December posting which is part of this thread). Throat hurts a bit in that part, and especially while swallowing. Feel as if onset of the same virus, but relatively milder. Feel like sleeping, but have to study.
Last few weeks, have developed brownish notches under eye (probably from eye staring at books all day? or lack of sleep previously?). Eyes still feeling a bit dry, but not as much as few days ago when I had trouble sleeping (before Kali phos).
At bedtime, mind has started thinking a bit before I fall asleep. Eyes feel a bit dry.
Will take the modified dose and report back. Thank you.

Also had slight itching in scalp in areas and in areas near neck.
Got dry thread of translucent skin(?---like a dry scab but thin, crisp and papery) behind ear, came off once.

Did you want me to describe the neck pain/stiffness...well one more descriptor is that there were small snap - like sound when I moved my neck to the right. I wonder if I had overdone the exercising. Had felt better exercising, and had exercised to fix the stiff/pain. But it got worse later in evening after a gap of relief where it had gone completely.

My neck has generally felt better when I hold my head back. (Had fallen a few feet as a 5-6 year old child from climbing, not sure if that is lingering in impact on neck...no obvious impacts linger, hard to tell).
 
Hair Loss last decade
Have not yet taken the modified dose. Taking it today. Thanks

Just noting observation ...Regarding the bump at left side of throat - can feel it when rolling my tongue back. Barely feeling saliva. That again is familiar (dry and barely saliva). Have had other days of lots of Saliva, so not sure whether that was impact of homeopathy. Dr Tahira had once asked me during thuja teatment whether I had lot of saliva, and at that time throat had been dry just as it is now.

Today its May 3 morning.

Sorry was a bit late in responding.

After taking the dose...

noticeable ---
Studying - was not able to concentrate very well a few days ago, but forced myself to study. Somehow in comparison to the Kali phos after effect of cooler mind and memory improvement/ability to read and study, didnt feel this is better. But compared to pre-Kali Phos days, this is a bit better.

Had severe scalp itch yesterday. Plenty of powdery white dandruff on scalp. Especially in front (I didn't check /ask antone whether it was powdery white at the back of my head). Wondering if that was because I had to put some hair color on last week?

Relatively speaking had felt better about scalp pre/post Kali phos than yesterday with all that itch and powdery Lycopodium / hair color effects.

My dilemma has been that I started greying at 23. A homeopathic doctor had predicted that i would grey all over my body (this was when he was treating me for scalp scab / psoriasis which I had developed after dermatologist 12 week-cream treatments (for dandruff) wherein he/the homeopath had prescribed Mezereum). I've had that dandrfuff since a young age as well, especially during 11/12th grade. Also remember that I used to 'think a lot' in bed at night at the time and couldn't fall asleep right away...anyways that was the past.

Yesterday, noticed I had been shedding a lot of hair...floor covered with a lot of hair (again that is familiar on and off from past for at least 3-4 years). Hair had turned thin / shafts look so thin, some are almost transparent. This is familiar to time before Dr Tahira's advice. She had reco'd Fraxinus and Sulphur. I believe I had felt better with both. In any case, thinning has happened previously.

Due to the severe itching scalp yesterday, took a hair shower - and washed, but used regular soap- used moisturizing soap. Had been wondering about the shampoos Ive used all these years...had not helped previously.
Felt better after washing scalp. Although slight itchy in spots, the horrible intense itch has gone.

My sleep pattern is worse than post Kali phos effects, but better than pre Kali phos...do have thoughts at night in bed - although good news is that I'm falling asleep a bit faster than pre Kali phos days.

Somehow a bit distracted yesterday from studies. Went out (after days) shopping. Had a decent time. Got back and studied.

Slight itch in the right ear.
A bit of white stuff/powdery.

Woke up one morning thinking I didnt have the sound, then came to the bathroom to confirm...was mistaken..still had the high pitch sound in right ear.

On waking or moving, still have the fluttering fan like sound in right ear.

The 2 small-lumpy glands on right side of neck (below ear - have had them on and off ever since childhood) still persist. Doctor had told me that that was possibly lymph nodes not draining properly, gets more swollen if I put hair color.

This morning, woke up a bit hungry (had skipped rice at dinner time last night, trying to loose weight). Got up at 4 am and ate breakfast / milk (Stopped tea completely a few months ago).

Is it okay for me to use oil on scalp during this treatment? Have not used oil in a while. Trying to prevent further hair fall...not sure if it will work.

With the itching....does it mean that Lyco is working?

Pls. advise regarding hair color. What can I do. I cannot walk around with grey hair. My face looks quite young...where can I find herbal henna/leaves (tried henna-powder packages and it doesn't work either).

Should I be getting back to Kali Phos or is Lyco trying to do the same thing but chronically instead of Kali?

Also on a general note re: thoughts/feelings, I have started to crave the normal life of 'no studies'. Craving to get ease-up a bit in life. Starting to realize that dont have to be so hard on myself.

Realized that I hadn;t had a good laugh in days, started cheering up a bit. Almost intentionally. Met someone friendly at the shop and realized that I had lost my essence (used to have a very cheerful spirit before the sibling upset a few years ago) and I need to get it back. I need to forgive completely and move on. Need to get joy back in my life.

Oh and....

When I woke up at 4 am, throat was very dry (felt as though no saliva in throat) and felt as though it was a bit salty or acidic (couldn't tell). Drank a glass of water. Then couldn't get sleep, so woke up to study.

Tongue still has white patches on it. Is that a liver related issue? Getting thirsty and urinating quite often.

Also mind has become pre-occupied in a strange sort of way. While reading/studying, mind is thinking of other things/events, running/replaying previous conversations over and over again in mind. As if I'm enacting it all over. This has happened before (pre Kali phos).
Also, mind issue...for example: wanted to type the name of this website, and as I wanted to I started typing up name of another (often used website) website instead. I have 4 weeks left for my exam. Will this get better? Had felt much better after your Kali Phos recommendation.

When I read, not grasping quickly the way I was post/after-Kali phos.

Since you're close to your exams, we'll take a temporary lull with respect to Lyc. Start taking kali phos. 6x 3 pills twice daily till you finish exams. Once you finish exams update me with the then status, we'll then go for chronic.

You may apply coconut oil. Try to avoid stuff that have shown allergic effects in the past.

And regarding Henna, you can try growing it in your place, though it needs hot climate. Alternatively you can get natural henna stuff from Indian or pakistanian stores available in your area.
 
maheeru last decade
Thank you so much for your guidance and healing powers. May the best happen to you in your life.

Will take Kali phos per your instruction.

Just recording regarding yesterday: Since I had woken up very early, slept in afternoon for 3 hours. Woke up fresh and studied very well. At bedtime, couldn't sleep until midnight, however, mind was happy and feeling quite lucky about many things in my life. Scalp had been itchy (and still itchy) but in spots, and not as intense as the high intensity itch experience before washing.

Thanks for your advice regarding henna, where can I get the plant/seeds? Have enquired around but no-one seems to know. Could I perhaps order online? Tried one place in the past but they sent me something else and not the real henna.
 
Hair Loss last decade
Thanks again:
just recording as I notice symptoms...slight itchy and powder behind left ear.

But feeling quite inspired this morning to study.

:)

Found this website and it sells henna along with a herb that colors hair black when mixed with henna. They claim its a herb called 'indigofera tinctoria'. Will be talking with them today to see if this is indeed all herbal. Don't see any plants on their website.

Hi !

I'm back. Finished my exam, went well.

Took Kali phos, felt better on days that I took it.

Now stopped Kali Phos as of 2 days ago.

Have ear pain (deep pain) in right ear, comes and goes, but lasts for half a second. The sharp sound is still there in right ear.

Have made hair very short, and used henna powder. It's okay, at least no obvious problems.

Pls. advise regarding next steps. We had paused Lycopodium since I had exams coming up. What should I do now. Will be traveling in 10 days.

Thanks.

Had experienced also hot flashes in early moning on a few days last week, (during exam study days while taking Kali phos twice a day). Used to wake up early morning in bed feeling sweat beads on skin.

Hi

Good to know your exams went well :) . Before moving on, i would like you to take the maximum from Kali phos. so get kali phos in 6c, 30c. Take kali phos 6c thrice daily for only 3 days. And after 2 weeks take kali phos. 30c in the same way. Report how you do after the doses.
