Back pain, acne, anxiety. sulphur? please help _{Page 2 of 11}

Dear Sameer,

I took Staphysgaria 5 days ago. There has been no change at all. If anything, I have felt more sad and anxious but I think this has to do with my disappointment at medicine not working and feeling of desperation.
I know that it has not yet been a full 7 days,and so I do not plan on taking anything before 7 days is up. but I have been reading all that I can find online about Carcinosin. After readings(including the trial in Mexico) I really feel like this could be it for me. What do you think?
I would have to order it from canada, so I wanted to check with you since it would be some time before I receive it.
I have also been looking into Nat Mur, Sepia, Silica, Kali Carb, and Lyco. I am not sure though. I was also pondering that maybe I have a different constitution but that Ignatia is involved.
Would it help you diagnose if I listed symptoms again more succinctly and/or added things? Would it help if I list the symptoms which apply to me that are listed under the remedies which I am drawn to?

Thank you as always. Hope you had a nice week.

Tatyana

It has now been 7 days after Staph and there is no change.

Sameer, I will be away for 5 days or so but I will check back here when I am back.

Hi,

1/. Is the patient very profoundly affected by thunderstorms, and other natural phenomenon?
i love thunderstorms, they make me happy and excited

2/. Does the patient have a 'cafe au lait' (milky coffee) type colour to their complexion? Any moles on the skin or brown spots ?
pale skin, more reddish-pinkish but many moles and freckles, i get more from the sun

3/. Is the patient very emotional, and particularly, empathic towards others? Do they worry over relatives etc?
yes

4/. Is the patient very independent? Obstinate? Are they very sensitive to reprimand?
yes

5/. Is the patient VERY profoundly affected by music? with a great love of dancing, and keen sense of rythm?
listening to music is big for me, it makes me feel more deeply, whether wishful and love feeling or melancholy feeling i enjoy it and it makes me feel connected. i like dancing a lot but am sometimes shy to do it even when i want to. i have pretty good rythm.


6/. Does the patient suffer from a kind of 'intellectual torpor', which makes intellectual thought difficult?
YES

7/. Do they feel as if they have suffered from some kind of great loss?
i think so... well, not one event, but my childhood, never having a time where i was really carefree..don't know if this is what you mean

8./)Are you a perfectionist ?
YES

9./) Are you improved from consolation ?
if its a light matter-- like my mom and i shared some bad words and i am upset, i like consolation and can talk about it. if its grave situation where i am depressed and isolating myself and sinking, i don't like consolation. then i feel like consolation doesn't help and it will only burden others and make me feel stupid.

10./)Are you prone to head sweats during sleep ?
no

11./) Do you sleep with your knees close to her chest ?
sleep most on my right side and i do curl my legs in but i don't know if its that 'close to the chest'

12./) Do you have some what of an eye for detail especially when it comes to sense of beauty ?
YES

13./) Are you very creative ? If yes, what creative hobby do you have ?
YES, painting and drawing but i am too anxious and worried about outcome to enjoy myself while doing it and hence don't do it enough and worry about it constantly because i feel like it is what i am supposed to be doing

14./) Were you burdened with any extra ordinary responsibility at a young age ? Any history of domination
YES, very much so

15./) Do you have or ever have in the past a bluish tinge to the usually white portion of the eye ? can't really tell

16./) Do you tend to read medical literature a lot ?
yes

17./) Do you have a passion for reading in general ?
yes, but i also have a time issue where i feel like i don't have enough time for anything(which is unrealistic i think) and so i don't do it as much as i would want.
_____________________

i do identify with sepia a great deal i think.

also, what do you think of natrum mur for me? why have you ruled it out?

_____________________

some other things i've noticed:

-a lot of painful bloating from gas, pretty often, couple times a week at least
-a lot of mucous and can always hack up mucous
-stool-hard to expel, feel it there but wont come out and constipated, also mucous in stool
-urine- i urinate often and sometimes soon after i have peed I feel like i have to go again but not much comes out. also, if there are people around or its a public bathroom i really have to focus to pee- like plug my ears to pretend i am alone or make water sound to block out noise
-urine- feel like have to pee during sex
-cannot concentrate--read or write-- when there is noise or talking or music, can't block it out
-my spine leans a bit to right and sometimes back pain is more on right
-like i mentioned earlier, very conscious of time, have planner, plan everything, make plans then don't do them and procrastinate and feel guilty and feel like i won't amount to anything

Ok Sameer, hope this isn't a bunch of stuff that will further confuse your choice or remedy.

Thank you

Tatyana

I found this Carcinosin in a local store took it on 12/3. I will respond with details next week.

just saw that i accidentally replied under my roommate's account above, oops

If its close to beginning of my menses I do. If not its not that time I feel more numb and indifferent, just tired and not enjoying anything at all.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'll post results next week

Hi Sameer,

I am replying early because I messed up the doses. I am pretty mad at myself for it.
So, I took Sepia 30 c 4 days ago. I forgot to take it at 30 min intervals, instead i did as I usually do, 4 hours or so. My second mistake was drinking coffee, I completely spaced out (this was some time between the 2nd and 3rd dose but not too close to either dose).

Despite mistakes, after my second dose I began to feel great. I felt very grounded and calm and not anxious. I felt more compassion(I was working this day and felt calmer toward the kids). My mind was more still and not dwelling on worries of past and future but instead, more in the moment. That evening I was in a class i take- a printmaking art class. I was not anxious talking with people the way i usually am and was able to interact naturally and without overthinking my words. I also worked on a drawing and was happy doing it(this is usually not the case, usually i feel anxious and pressured and worried about outcome and don't like doing it).

Since that day of wonderful feelings I feel more back to normal- annoyed at boyfriend and kids again, but a bit less anxious in social situations. Also, since I felt so great on the first day, its like i saw the light, and I am more hopeful that I will be able to find a remedy to help with my sadness.. so more optimistic

also, another thing i noticed- i just got my period and my sadness and tiredness before period wasn't as bad as it usually is. also, the pain was tolerable, i didnt have to take pain medicine.


I am worried that I antidoted with the coffee- since the good feeling went away so quickly, what do you think?

ok, I'll let you know when I have it.

Hi, I hope you are doing well. The remedy is not here yet but I just wanted to update you on how I am feeling.
Today I began to feel very anxious again in social situation. I was very sad and feeling far away, sinking deep into myself where i begin to think about everything that is coming out of my mouth and what others are saying and i can't be in the moment and reply naturally. Now I am better, I think I am back to being moody.
Also I have been having heartburn a lot lately and food comes up sour sometimes. Also nauseous sometimes after eating too much of something with fat in it, like chocolate(although maybe this would make anyone nauseous:).
Today is day 8. Is all this still in keeping with moving on to LM1?

Great, I just needed some reassurance. Thank you:)

Hi, I have received it. Please let me know how to proceed

does it matter what time of day I do this?

also, tomorrow is a holiday and I might want to have a some wine. is it alright to have it if its not near the dose at all?
