Okay, it is time now to go to Phosphorus 30c.
Dissolve 2 pellets in a 250 ml spring water bottle. You can shake it gently after they have dissolved.
Take a capful from this bottle 3 times in one day, spaced by 2 hours. This is to be done for one day ONLY.
Let me know in 3 days after these 3 doses.
Restrictions:
1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 40 minutes prior to, or after taking the remedy.
2/. Do not touch the tablets with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water .
3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption
4/. Avoid wearing perfume/aftershave, or exposure to anything with a strong smell while under treatment. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense.
5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicey foods
6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be avoided during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by an MD.
7/. Nothing of a medicinal nature should be applied to the skin

Approximately how much is a capful (e.g. in mls or tsp)?
I don't know if it's relevant, but I've been feeling very unwell the last couple of days, with much dizziness and lack of coordination, as well as very weak and exhausted, with faintness and sudden (not menopausal) sweats. Will this interfere with my ability to accurately observe the Phos effect? (Also safe to say, dullness of the mind :)
Thanks

Oh, I do not believe this!
Somehow, when the people who provided the Arnica 1M also sold me the Phos, they mistakenly gave me Arnica 30c, not Phos 30c. I have the 200c (Phos) but none of the 30c. This wouldn't be a problem except that I'm too ill to leave the house to go make an exchange (I have no car and it's pouring rain) so I shall have to wait for an opportunity, which at this point means I have no idea when I can start.
Argh. My own fault, of course, for not looking more closely.

Hmm..alternatively we can start with the 200c, but ideally speaking 30c is the right starting point, as it gives a lot of room for increasing the potency for future doses.
I would leave it for you to see if it is unlikely for you to go and get the 30c in the next couple of days. In that case, we might want to start with a 200c, especially since you are not feeling well.

OK (oh this is tiresome, and must be so for you as well!) I have left a message with someone who often is willing to run quick errands for me and am now waiting for her to get back to me. I should know shortly if she has the time to pick up the remedy.
(Such is the frustration of life with M.E. ... the store is only a few small-town blocks away, but most days it might as well be on the moon.)
Ah well. It is what it is.

I was unable to obtain the Phos 30c today and am not sure when I will be able to get it, but will keep trying.
In the meantime, my ear is still causing me a great deal of pain (despite two courses of antibiotic in as many monthns) which is involving my throat and sinuses as well. I don't think the infection has been cleared up and am beginning to suspect a hereditary flaw of the left eustacian (either too narrow, too short, or otherwise deformed as my ear infections have always been on the left side. Will Phos help clear up this virtually chronic problem? I have had severe infections of one sort or another since developing M.E. and recognize the feeling when the toxins accumulate. Normally, for this kind of thing I would turn first to acute homeopathic or the appropriate herb(s) but of course in this case I don't want to risk sabotaging the remedies.
Suggestions?
Again, my thanks ...

I would recommend waiting for Phos 30c till tomorrow, and if you cannot get it , we can start with 200c.
sameervermani last decade
I am having no luck finding someone with time or inclination to pick up the Phos 30c for me. Which means it could be well into next week before I'm able to go and get it myself (No use crying over spilt milk, but I do wish I'd checked more closely at the time.)
As things are now, I don't know where to go from here. My lower GI is making things like sleep and hydration something of a challenge, so even if I could get a ride, I don't think seeing a dr for more antibiotics would be a good idea if it can possibly be avoided.
I am in a weakened state and spent my morning arranging my life accordingly, so in some ways, if the next 'step' is going to be difficult, this might be a good time in that it won't interfere with activities. On the other hand, if it doesn't address my intestinal problems or the pain in my ear, I might be better off focusing on those things with acute remedy (if it's safe to do so at this point).
I'm too weary to think clearly, so would be happy to take guidance in this matter.
Thx

Okay , lets start with 200c then.
Just 1 single dose. Dissolve 2 pellets in 250 ml spring water bottle, (turn upside down a few times for the pellets to spread after they have dissolved) and a capful from the bottle is the dose.
No eating/drinking on either side of the dose for 1 hr.
Let me know in 3 days.
Sameer.

OK.
capful = 10 ml which = approximately 2 teaspoons? (We switched to metric after I'd left school and I have trouble with some conversions.)

Thank you.
I hope it will do something for this agony in my ear along with whatever else it's going to do.

I hope I am responding as I should to the Phos. I feel so wretched I don't think I could describe it, but I know that part of it is due to my ear infection and part of it to my ongoing lack of adequate sleep. I have also developed a chest cough which I would attribute to the toxins wafting around in my body from the ear infection.
With both the phos and the arnica, my non-stop headache has seemed to get worse in the early stages, and my muscle pain - especially upper body - is much worse than usual since taking the Phos, as is brain fog, lack of balance, lack of coordination. Is that more or less what Phos does?
I hope this makes sense.

ok.
if this infection gets any worse i'm going to need to see a dr. would antibiotics interfere? ever since i developed M.E. my immune function has been poor at the best of times an infection can easily and rapidly take over most of my body so i am, understandably i think, a bit anxious in that regard. i don't like taking antibiotics, avoid them if at all possible, but at this point don't know what else to do except hope it doesnt get any worse.
from my research, it appears to my uneducated eye that Sil may yet be on the menu?

Hmm.. well if this ear pain keeps getting worse, I would definitely go to Silica.
sameervermani last decade
At this point I can't tell what is the remedy at work and how much of it is the infection, which seemed to be holding steady but which is much worse today.
I think my entire system is so loaded with toxic effects of infection (this most recent series of infections has been going on since April) that it's very difficult to determine what impact the Phos is having. I have moments of great energy (more than I've experienced in 20 years) and the next I'm prostrate. One moment my skin is cool and dry, the next it's clammy and cold to the touch while at the same time I'm perspiring profusely. The energy I attribute to the Phos (and/or possibly the Arnica?) but beyond that it's anyone's guess. I've been dizzier and clumsier than usual, but again that could be the infection.
Rather frustrating.

I know it is kind of difficult for you, maybe if someone can pick up the Silica 30 for you, it would be great, because in case, the ear infection keeps bothering, we will administer it.
Energy increase can be the Phosphorus at work, but then again as you said, there is so much going on, it can be a hard to determine.
I hope you feel better soon.

i have Sil 30c at hand.
nakomis last decade
Great !
Wait for a couple of more days, and if you still dont feel better, administer 3 doses of Silica 30 at 2 hour gap
each dose = 5 ml from a bottle where 2 pills have been dissolved

the student asks: is there a reason to dissolve the pills rather than simply take them in pill form? also, will the Sil cut short the action of the Phos?
also:
*i don't know, but this might be relevant: my ear infections always begin in the eustacian, spreading outward (up into the facial sinuses and down into the throat) as it worsens.
*i'm not sure this infection will wait two more days. i will try, but i'm getting worse by the hour so must re-assess frequently. all signs point toward what i call toxic overload.
*i have been observing closely the past two days, and i believe the faintness, sudden sweats and clammy skin are the result of this current infection. i think the sudden 'sinking' feeling I get is the effect of the infection working against the energizing effect of the Phos.
*M.E. and FM both present such a confusing array and variety of symptoms, many of them cyclic in nature, that when anything is added on (e.g. an ear infection) it becomes very difficult to tell 'what's what'.
*incidentally, after the first few days with the Arnica, my vertigo eased appreciably, but it now seems to be enjoying a comeback. i don't know if this is due to the infection worsening or if it's part of the Phos action.

This is why I have been puzzled about Sil (not just recently, but in my own study)
>>BETTER, warmth, wrapping up head, summer; in wet or humid weather.
WORSE, new moon, in morning, from washing, during menses, uncovering, lying down, damp, lying on left side, cold.

is there a reason to dissolve the pills rather than simply take them in pill form?
[S]:
Remedies act deeper and more gently when dissolved in water, as they come into contact with more nerve endings when dissolved in water.
also, will the Sil cut short the action of the Phos?
[S]: Silica follows Phosphorus well, and is not an anti-dote to Phos.
also:
*i don't know, but this might be relevant: my ear infections always begin in the eustacian, spreading outward (up into the facial sinuses and down into the throat) as it worsens.
[s]: This type of ear infection is covered by Silica.
*i'm not sure this infection will wait two more days. i will try, but i'm getting worse by the hour so must re-assess frequently. all signs point toward what i call toxic overload.
[S]: You can take it sooner, lets say even tonight, if this is getting worse so quickly. I leave the 'when' to you but do take it 'before' it gets to the point, where antibiotics are essential.

[S]: Do not worry when we hit the similimum, (which can be quite difficult where so many remedy layers are intertwined owing to the multi-tude of problems), you will know the difference
*incidentally, after the first few days with the Arnica, my vertigo eased appreciably, but it now seems to be enjoying a comeback. i don't know if this is due to the infection worsening or if it's part of the Phos action.
[S]: This is difficult to say, but since there has been an acute flaring up of the infection, we have to address that first.
