Back pain, acne, anxiety. sulphur? please help Page 5 of 11

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Also, wanted to mention that I have had somewhat of a cold even though my flu is over. Stuffed up and snotty. No big deal

Another thing I experienced around day 7 or so but forgot to mention is these kind of electric buzzes in my brain on going to sleep. They are not painful. I have only experienced these after coming off of an SSRI like lexapro in the past, years ago... It was weird to feel it without having taken medication..

Hi Sameer,

Its been a week. Today I have felt bad emotionally- irritable and angry, also upset and scared and anxious. I complain a lot when i am around my boyfriend, who I feel very comfortable around. I feel like there is something wrong with me and that I will never get well. Time flies by and there is so much to do and to be done and I don't know where to start and none of it is interesting but a task. I took some valerian just now to try to offset the anxiousness.

Here is a recap of the week:

taken in the evening last sunday

1st day :
-sad thoughts of my father(who passed last year) and thoughts of missing my mother(although she lives not far away)
-slept 13 hours this night
-dreamt of my dead father
-dreamt of a stressful social situation with people from my past

2:
-didn't notice anything much, except have no willpower to not eat when i am not hungry and i ate a bunch of snacks before bed time



3:
-back hurting
-stomach itches(i was walking at the time and this happens to me when i walk or exercise)
-thinking about my dad again
-singing to myself while walking (this happened to me after ars6c also but i forgot to mention. it comes with a better mood, but also an exhausted and kind of excited and slightly manic one- as in not peaceful good mood)

4:
-better mood in first half of day
-some frights by weird noises
-then bad mood- anxious with boss and when talking on phone with friend and when in public on metro
-worried and feel like i did something wrong
-stuffy nose
-again, no willpower to not eat junk

5:
-bad dream- that I was awfully mistreated by my boss and felt abused
-awakened exhausted even though it was day off
-nose runny/sneezy
-on evening walk i thought about killing a small child

6:
-felt better in afternoon but then abd again in eveing- moody
-feel scattered
-time passes too fast


7:
-few itchy bumps on knuckles of back of hands. kind of like pimples

All week:
-runny or stuffed nose on and off
-back hurting especially between shoulder blades
-itchy skin
-mostly crappy mood except for the ups i mentioned

Thank you for reading. Does all this make any sense? I feel kind of defeated in this quest.

zoloty last decade
things i want to add:

-today i've had a hard time communicating with my mind going blank mid-sentence

-want to eat at bedtime(this is an ongoing struggle)

- i am hasty and also i give up really easily on something

-many negative thoughts and feel guilty for it

-with regards to my boyfriend, i feel like i want him with me because i am sad/scared/anxious. Its like i want him around when he is gone and want him to leave when he is around. Also, i don't want to be touched and his constant interest in me sexually really really annoys me. I don't like sex and it is kinda painful sometimes. He is a very positive person and i fear that in the long run all my negativity will affect him and make him sad too. Feel like the responsible thing would be to leave him out of my life so that i don't make him depressed as well.

I was really hoping Ars would work for me. it seemed to match so well when i read about it- the controlling, planning, finding relationships that are helpful, the selfishness(the kind where i am so stuck in my worries and my head that i can't get outside it to help anyone else), not liking ingesting cold things, being very cold but wanting air because head feels stuffy.

Is it possible that good mood will come in a few days(as occurred with 6c)? Or is my negative state of mind right now showing that ars isn't curing? -- in this case, why did 6c make me feel better?

again, thanks for reading

I think you will see improvements after some days.

This is an aggravation. Hold on tight. You should see improvements once this episode is over.

Should not be more than a few more days before improvements begin.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer. Today is day 12 after ars 30c and I am not improving mentally. I am feeling depressed and anxious. My mind is not working as well, especially short term memory because of the depressed mood and the stress. I felt better for the second half of day 9, but I can attribute that to having taken a quick nap and not feeling so exhausted also.
Yesterday I still had physical feelings of getting hot and cold with nails blue and aching head with feelings of pressure. Could an aggravation still be going on?
 
zoloty last decade
Also, I have been drinking coffee about every other day and I i've been taking some valerian sometimes at night. None of this was near the doses but I am concerned that it may have interfered.
 
zoloty last decade
It can happen in very sensitive patients.

We should wait longer.

Let us give this 1 more week, and if it does not improve by then, we will think of some other remedy or an anti-dote.
 
sameervermani last decade
ok, i will hang in and get back to you

thank you for the quick response
 
zoloty last decade
Hi Sameer,

I took Ars 30c on March 1st so it has been 25 days. I have been in a better mood since about the 16th of march. Often this good mood is excited and a bit maniacal but it is mostly not sad at all. In life, I have had a bunch of things do deal with because I have to find a new job but I am getting through it and staying more active and positive, whereas in the past I may have become more procrastinating and sad and avoidant. Also, my bowel regularity is better and my skin has been getting worse the last few days(could be pms related) and scalp has been awfully itchy and more hair falling out for a few weeks now.
Is there a higher potency of ars I should order to be prepared if my mood goes sour?

Here are is a list of symptoms Days 12-24:

12
AWFUL day- all sorts of depressive thoughts- scared, pathetic, wishing i didn't exist
black spots floating in vision
vision shifted sideways
noticed vertical crack or line is growing on R thumbnail

13
R side of head hammering, pulsating pain--comes and goes
R middle finger middle joint pain as if jammed
can't finish anything, brain skipping around

14
R side of head hammering again
Scalp itches like crazy while running

15
feel more in the moment, less worried, depression opening up
say and write wrong word-frustrated
upper lip pain when pressed
canker sore inner upper lip
head heavy pressure
pimple on back of head
pimple on labia
want to eat meat, cheese, miso constantly, especially in evening

16
slightly better mood
nails blue and cold
evening- strung out, maniacal mood-- energetic but not sad

17
say and write wrong word
feeling ok, but excited and can't focus or finish things
can't concentrate
realized i curse a lot
feel stupid
big pressure in head when i stand up

18

19

20

21

22
better mood
itchy skin
face and chest skin breaking out

23
face and chest skin breaking out
better mood
temperature fluctuating

24
energized, motivated
still decent mood




Thank you!!
 
zoloty last decade
Also, even though mood is better there is still a lot of worry and obsessive thoughts and feeling like i am doing/did things wrong.
 
zoloty last decade
Better attitude and itchy skin are very good signs. We are right on track.

Absolutely nothing of a medicinal nature is to be applied on the skin as that will interfere with the remedy.

Please keep Ars 200c at hand, but do not take it without talking to me.

Update me in another week.
 
sameervermani last decade
I have been using aloe vera gel on my face.. it has some additives.. is this ok? what about lotion and simple face wash?

i'll order 200c and update in a week
 
zoloty last decade
Face wash and simple moisturizer is ok.

No ointments please.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi there,
It has been 5 more days but I think it has shifted. Since day 26 or 27 I've been feeling more down again. I don't feel like i am back to the depression i felt before, but I am irritable, worried, upset, moody.
For a good 12 days in the middle there I felt much better mentally.
I am happy that ars seems to be working. But, Sameer, do you think I could have a very bad mental aggravation from the 200c?

here are the symptoms:
day 25

-only 5 hours sleep but energetic anyway
-itches
-good mood

26
-first day of period- not as sad as i would usually be, but feeling a little sad
-cramps

27
-dreamt of hitting bicyclist with car
-cramps
-starting to go over regrets and sad things from past
-ok mood in afteroon
-black spots floating in vision
-procrastinating
-not good mood in eve
-not wanting to go outside but to hide inside
-don't want to be alone

28
-pretty good mood, energy
-dry brownish/red flaky wax from left ear
-hand feet cold
-nausea after coffee
-irritable and angry, not really sad but frustrated and unable to focus
moody
-mean to boyfriend
-painful bloating
-thinking sad thoughts of my father who died and going over regrets

29
-violent hiccups
-stressed, irritable, anger easily
-rethinking everything
-vision- saw what i was looking at trembling, as if hot air was coming out
want chocolate

Also, my period is shorter than it used to be. I first noticed this after sepia but it seems even shorter now after ars.

Also, up until about when I began to feel worse again my stool was greenish(I don't know if this was related to drinking mate tea which has some chlorophyll)
 
zoloty last decade
Hi,

I do not expect a bad aggravation from Ars 200c as we will dose in a gentle way.

Please dissolve just 1 pellet in 120 ml spring water in a bottle(keep this bottle till I tell you to throw it), take a teaspoon out from the bottle and dissolve it in 120 ml water in another cup, and take a teaspoon from here ONCE. Throw the contents of the cup away.

Report in 1 week.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Thank you. I'm still waiting on the remedy to arrive but I will do this and get back to you.
 
zoloty last decade
Hi Sameer.

Today is day 10 after ars 200c( i took on april 1st, the way you instructed). Below is a list of symptoms. Generally, I have been irritable and easily angered and more thirsty and craving things that are bad for me again- like ice cream and snacks and stuff. My skin is worse but the mood has been only a tiny but better in spots...
Also, I realize I am pretty superstitious. I also realize that I have a LOT of anxiety when i have to write something that someone else will read like an email because i care a lot about what others think about me and its overwhelming and takes all my energy. Worrying about how I appear to others and going over past negative things that happened that are not even important happens a lot for me. I also notice that I sit crooked all the time, with my legs to the side and my torso to the other side. Its uncomfortable and i don't know why i do it.
No symptoms are new other than that I woke with my arms above my head last night, and i never do that

Thank you

Please read this article on Thuja and please tell me if you think this resonates with what you feel..

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/homeopathy_advice/Remedies/POLY...
 
sameervermani last decade
That first paragraph is absolutely me. Even the deceptiveness and lying.
In the symptoms list, most fit.. a few like the 'something is alive in abdomen' i can't really relate to.

so you think ars treatment is over? Why did it work at first? Was it a miasm that was lifted and now we are moving deeper?
 
zoloty last decade
Well it was a 'layer' that was lifted, and we are facing a block now because the dominant miasm here is sycosis and Arsenic is not deep enough an anti-sycotic to root it out. Thuja is the strongest anti-sycotic remedy and also a complement to Arsenicum.

So, the next step is to go to 3 doses of THUJA 30c equally spaced on a single day, where each dose is 1 teaspoon.

Report back in 10 days.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Thank you thank you for explaining.

So, to be clear, I can take it as soon as I find it, the Thuja, no need to wait?

Also, is there a chance I will have awful mental aggravations? I have to be kind of productive in the next week and so i am worried--what if i will feel really bad?

2 pellets in 250 m water, right?
 
zoloty last decade
I dont think you need to wait more as the symptoms are pointing to it strongly and we have given Ars time to do all it could.

I do not expect a strong mental aggravation.

And yes, to last question.
 
sameervermani last decade
Great, thank you!!!! I'll let you know how it goes!!!

Hi zoloty,

These are still Arsenic like indications. Let us try another dose of Ars 200c.

Please dissolve just 1 pellet of Ars 200c in a 250 ml spring water in a bottle, thump the bottle 3 times on your hand, and take a teaspoon from there directly.

Report in 5 days.
