Hi Murthy,
It's been a strange week as this virus seems to be hanging on. I feel much better than I did, and the ignatia lifted the depression so I'm in better spirits, but this laryngitis seems to be hanging on. I can speak with no problem, it's when I sing that it's a problem. I am a music teacher so this is an extra problem.
My throat feels thick and mucousy, and when I try to sing high notes it becomes hoarse and broken; there is some sound, but strained.
Once again, it's worse in the morning.Everything for me is worse in the morning. When I first get up I hardly have any voice, then as the day goes on it gets better, then in the evening it's a little worse again. I've had this before, and it usually lasts several weeks.
I'm still having anxiety in the morning anticipating the day, but the overall depression is gone. Once again, once I'm actually into the day, the anxiety is better.
I seem to wake up overenergized with my brain already in overdive.
Thank you for your continued help.

I was away and hence the delay.
The latest information about your throat problem in connection with your profession (music teacher) perhaps brings us closer to the similimum.
The anxiety coupled with the latest information tilts the balance in favour of Argentum Nitricum. If you confirm that your throat is better even temporarily with cold applications like sipping a glass of cold water, we can be more confident about the remedy choice.
Check it out and let me know.

Hi Murthy,
Cold definitely makes me feel better. No matter how sick I am, going outside in cold fresh breezy air makes me feel instantly better.
I have many other things that seem to fit this remedy like the digestive problems, anticipatory anxiety and needing to always be on time.
I think the ignatia has definitely helped with the depression from the grief, but it doesn't seem to stay with me long.
What do you suggest?
Thanks again,
Lindsay

O.K.
We will switch over to Argentum Nitricum.
Procure 30c to start with and make the remedy solution bottle. Take a sip out of it everyday and report after two days.

Hi Murthy,
Sorry it's been more than 2 days since my reply.
Strangely the arg nit does not seem to be working. I think my throat is actually worse, and it has not done much for the anxiety, maybe a little.
I'm getting concerned about my throat as it has been 3 weeks. I don't have complete laryngitis anymore, I can talk and sing somewhat, but it feels like here's a slight constriction in my bronchial tubes, but I'm having no problems breathing.
Spring comes to us late where I live and there is a lot of pollen around, so I wonder if this constriction has to do with allergies.
I am not feeling sick at all,and there is no mucous.
As for the anxiety, it seems to be only in the morning (though it's somewhat milder now)
and it always manifests as a sense of overwhelm like I can't imagine how I'm going to accomplish everything that needs to be done.
Also I have a need to please my boss and afraid to make a mistake because I might fall out of her favour.
I feel that no matter what I'm doing or how much I'm doing, it's never enough and that I'm lazy so I push myself compulsively.
Then I burn out and I get lazy because I just can't do anymore.Then I get upset with myself for being lazy and the cycle starts again.
Even when I accomplish something it's not good enough. There's a constant voice of judgement in whatever I do.
Hope this helps.
You've ben so kind.

Hi Murthy,
Just to let you know when you return that my throat is now OK. I guess the virus just had to work its way through.
Thanks

Good to hear that.
It is possible that the viral infection completed its course and subsided.
However when you get the same symptoms again next time, take Arg.Nitricum on the first signs of trouble and hopefully the relief will be faster.

Thanks Murthy.
Do you have any more advice about the anxiety? It has gotten somewhat worse since not taking the ignatia. I'm prone to more crying again, and the morning anxiety.
Should I try the ignatia again, or arg nit, or something else, or just leave it for now?
Thanks,
Lindsay

Continue with Ignatia 200c split dose as advised earlier, once a day till the stock lasts. We won't leave the remedy that is helping (though for short periods).
We will gradually move to 1M.
Report in case you see some changes either positive or negative.

Thank you so much!
That was my instinct as it was definitely working, and now since not taking it I have slipped back to feeling how I was before.
I will contact you when the 200 ignatia stock bottle is done.

Hello :)
After a series of failed relationships, drug abuse, insomnia, high anxiety about everything and just not finding any energy to do anything at all i was prescribed for th first time Ignatia 12ch. I have been taking them for 2 days now i know its a short period, but i am still confused on how am i supposed to take them. Empty stomach? Full stomach? Water? under tongue? Morning? Night. WEll no i know the last one i take in the morning :P
Anyway i have come to a point a kinda see nothing tha can give me some joy. I have been reading older posts though and the dosage other people take is enormous compared to mine. One sai he took 5 tablets and in 45mins was feeling great. I still have no reaction from the medicine. Do you think i should take a higher dosage?
Thanks for your time :)

Grey,
Who prescribed this, a homeopath?
They should tell you how they want you to take it.
In water or a few pills dissolved under the tongue.
12c is a low strength and you might have to go up to 30c
to see a reaction, but you should ask your doctor who is
prescribing for you, about this.
Each homeopath will do things a bit differently.

12c is excellent, especially if you are sensitive. I have used 12c successfully, and in particular Ignatia. Ignatia is best taken in the morning. 12c daily keeps an even dose in the system, 30c would be more like once a week or something and I don't have much success with higher potencies, every individual is different but you sound very similar to me.

Grey,
If you have no reaction to this after a few days of taking it,
it is either the wrong remedy or the potency is wrong..
Follow your homeopaths guidelines on amount of
doses and doses are usually half hour or hour before or after
food and no coffee while taking.
Keep your homeopath updated on your reactions. Sometimes
if there was a lot of drug use, remedies such as nux vomica
are used to clean out the body from drugs and then this
removes blocks from remedies having proper action in
the body.

Grey3 last decade
Simone did you read the good response in 45 min part? it is within this thread, and they did have long term problems. I disagree, as I also have felt good results immediately with certain remedies. it simply means it's the right energy in sync with the body.
taz55 last decade
Yes, that is possible and it is great you had that
experience but many times things go in layers and
everyone is different, one has to be patient. I have had
that experience also and I also had to go thru a year
of several remedies to cure myself of allergies-once
they were gone they stayed gone but it took time.

Generally fast improvement only happens with acute conditions, or it happens because the remedy is palliating rather than curing. For long-term cure, and for cure in conditions that are chronic, progress will be much slower and will always be preceded by some kind of aggravation or reappearance of old symptoms.
Treatment of true acutes can indeed show very speedy results, even only a few minutes.
High vitality patients can react quickly and cure quickly, but these conditions will usually be functional ones with little change to the tissues. When there is physical pathology, aggravation is almost certain (controlled in intensity by proper dosing) and reversal of the pathology takes time.

It just really really sucks not feeling good :S
YOu see i was given some antidepressants and was taking them for a while but i then stopped them abruptly. So now for a month im in some kind of withdrawal from those stupid pills... insomnia, vomiting, etc etc not to mention my psychology. So i decided i needed something but really didn't want to take any more pills and thats why i started looking for homeopathy solutions.
But no i havent seen any impprovement. Next week im going to see a new doctor tell him the whole story and hopefully he will be able to help me. ATM i decided i kinda have to take 10mg Seroquel every second night and try to taper it off...... cause if i dont take it its just awful.

Stopping a drug suddenly on which you are dependent is always a bad idea. Even with homoeopathy we would not be asking a patient to do that. You should always taper off the dose, treating the symptoms that come up as you do this. One of my patients may spend weeks or even months slowly reducing their medication, and I will continue to treat and strengthen them, dealing with whatever issues come up as they withdraw.
