In the hindsight, maybe we should have waited more on Medorrhinum 1M, just goes on to show, I am not infallible :)
 
sameervermani last decade
if this is indeed the case and my mentals don't improve in a week... Is it possible to go back to Med?
 
zoloty last decade
And, if we do go back to med, can we do LM's, aren't they much less aggravating?

Will we be able to try Lyco again after? If this is how I am feeling from Lyco 200, i am scared to try Lyco 1m down the road..

I am worried now ...
 
zoloty last decade
We will not go to Lyc 1M, as I do not think it would have aggravated this much.

I think we should let this aggravation subside and go to Med LM2
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

It has now been 2 weeks since lyco 200 dose.

Generally, I am not freaking out as much anymore, but I am sad and lonely when alone and irritable when around people. I am craving and eating junk foor and overeating and constipated and feeling bloated. Not talking to friends again and isolating myself.

mental

-lonely/don't want to be alone and feeling needy
-sad
-worrisome dreams
-sad on waking, want to keep sleeping and be unconscious
-saying wrong words, absent-minded
-overeating, especially hungry in evening and before bed
-procrastinating
-can't focus on something and finish it, jumping around starting things
-comparing myself to others and worrying
-going over past mistakes
-picking at skin
-not exercising
-overwhelmed, want to give up
-indecisive

physical

-constipated
-congested
-many pimples on face, chest, upper back
-left eyelid twitching
-ears get plugged up
-feel bloated
-some days i pee a lot, feels like maybe I am retaining water
-aching legs when going to sleep and sometimes during day(this was more before my period started a few days ago)
-smelly armpits

In general, feel worse than before taking the dose... but I did also feel bad the 3rd week after med 1m(but this may have been the aggravation starting from 1m?)

And, just to remind you I did have good periods after med 200-- for the first time my bowel movements were regular regardless of what I was eating, I was eating less, exercising, in good spirits, connecting to friends again, sleeping less

What do you think Sameer, should I wait to make sure Lyco won't turn around? Should I have some coffee to make sure it antidotes?

Also, why did you have me order Med Lm2 and not Lm1?
 
zoloty last decade
Hi Zoloty,

Lyc will not do anything now, it is a remedy which when indicated gives very quick benefit unlike Med which is very slow to develop response.

Med LM1 is not available at Helios. They only have this remedy available in LM2 and above. This remedy is not available in USA.

Please take a single dose of Med LM2 as follows:

Dissolve 3 drops in 250 ml spring water, and take a spoon from there.

Report in 3 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
ah, ok, thank you for the quick answers.

I had black tea a few hours ago, should I wait until evening to take the dose?
 
zoloty last decade
You can take in the evening.
 
sameervermani last decade
3 days since med LM2 update

day1

-can't tell if mood is better or worse, seems ok, but I am distracting myself with entertainment this day(and procrastinating)
-slight headache forehead coming and going
-throat feels tight, some white spots on tonsils
-second half of day exhausted, napped a lot

day2

-anxious, nervous,worrying about future, overwhelmed, can't concentrate reading, self-conscious
-everything feels unreal
-throat still tight and swollen hurts a little

day3

-worrying and anxious
-throat still tight and now tonsils are totally covered with white blotches, which spread mostly from left to right


The tonsil thing I have had in the past with sore throats but it usually hurts a lot more and i get fever and very sick, but now my throat only hurts a little

that's all for now

thanks sameer
 
zoloty last decade
Hi zoloty,

Med has done all it could, and now the appropriate sycotic remedy should be chosen. The sycotic block has been opened by Med.

The remedy is one out of 2, Lachesis or Nitric Acid.

Do you have any disliking for clothes or touch around your throat/neck area ?

Does the same song come to your head and gets stuck ?

Do you have exceptional loquacity marked by rapid change of subject ?

Do you use your tongue in a very refined but cynical and critical way as if you have an intuition about the weakness of others and hurt them with precise sarcastic words ?

How do you feel for the 30 mins after you wake up in the morning ? Are you irritable or angry ?

Are you a chilly person or a warm blooded one ?

Have you ever had any of these:

Mouth ulcers
Haemorrhoids
Cracked skin at orifices like corners of the mouth
Swollen Gums
Any other complaints related to mouth (corners), nose and anus ?

What are your food cravings ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

You think Med is done because suppurating tonsils aren't covered under it, huh?.. I was hoping I would get sick and covered with acne and my mental state would gradually improve. . .

Do you have any disliking for clothes or touch around your throat/neck area ?

I don't like turtlenecks very much but wear scarves sometimes and like those. I don't like tight things around my stomach.

Does the same song come to your head and gets stuck ?

Yes

Do you have exceptional loquacity marked by rapid change of subject ?

Yes, but this happens when I am happy and excited and I have been so down that haven't experienced this recently

Do you use your tongue in a very refined but cynical and critical way as if you have an intuition about the weakness of others and hurt them with precise sarcastic words ?

I am able to do this, try not to

How do you feel for the 30 mins after you wake up in the morning ? Are you irritable or angry ?

I feel sad, overwhelmed depressed and anxious if I am alone and angry and irritable if with boyfriend

Are you a chilly person or a warm blooded one ?

Don't know.. i seem to be hot when others are cold and cold when others are hot. I warm up very quickly from movement, usually cold when going to bed...


I have had:

-Mouth ulcers(canker sores on inner cheeks and tongue)
-Cracked skin at corners of the mouth

Any other complaints related to mouth (corners), nose and anus ?

Can't think of any. .

What are your food cravings ?

-junk food- salty and fatty chips and chocolate ice cream, cheese, pizza/burgers and fruit
-want to eat in the evening especially
 
zoloty last decade
Hi Zoloty,

We will still give the Med dose 3-4 more days, and in the meanwhile I will think about this more.

I think Med has done it's bit, because the aggravation that came a few weeks after taking Med 1M was just Med throwing the 'remedy' more strongly onto the surface which is one of the main functions of a nosode. Mental aggravations so long after the dose are not curative, they are a new layer cropping up.

Even this last dose is clearing up symptoms further as this spots on tonsils is a big time Lach/Nit-ac/Sulphur symptom.

Can you try to think of something odd, so that I can try to differentiate ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Zoloty,

I analyzed the case from the beginning again, and the remedy which comes up most strongly is LACHESIS.

How do you feel now ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

I have been trying to think of something unusual... i don't think I have anything, but here is a list....

Lachesis stood out to me... except for the face that sometimes I am sooo quiet and timid and have nothing to say

mental

-wake up sad- everything is weighing on me, unhappy, nothing to look forward to
-confused on waking- what day/time it is
-put things in wrong places and cannot find them later(like the tea in the freezer)
-use wrong words
-very moody- go from sad and crying wanting to die, going over every opportunity i have messed up to being hopeful and fantasizing about future to being irritable/snappy/bitchy to talkative and say funny things
-sometimes I am able to make myself feel better by meditating
-the other day I was really down and anxious and had to go to some social things: I had a really hard time being around people. Couldn't communicate, didn't know what to say. I have nothing to say, am quiet and feel stupid and don't know what to do with myself. Really wish I could connect with people and this makes me sad. Wish I had something to say but I overthink and say nothing. Worried what people think of me. Look at others and wish i was someone else, anyone else. Feel like a needy child. Feel like I don't have a personality, don't want to exist.
-self-absorbed, selfish
-feel better in evening
-irritated by noises- like people chewing, licking their fingers drives me insane
-procrastinate endlessly
-cannot pay attention, miss what someone is explaining, have to ask again and mind wanders again and pretend to hear it because otherwise their feelings will be hurt
-say wrong words
-crying, despairing, will never get better or come out of this
-oversensitive
-go from sad, needy, afraid to be alone- to pushy, critical, not caring about others' needs or feelings, stubborn, want my way
-arguing to argue, want to be right, excitable, laughing intensely at things


physical

-throat better but earlier today was hurting more on swallowing, feels better from warm liquid
-wrists weak and achy, left one worse
-hawking mucous
-inner corner of left eye hurts
-puffy eyelids on waking


skin

-really sensitive to touch, jump when bf touches me
-stomach itches
-small crust appeared from out of nowhere on arm, itches and swollen and oozes clear liquid when i scratch it, itches more in hot shower
-hard flat wart on foot bottom
-face red and blotchy with acne scars- red/purplish

eating/drinking

-go from controlled diet to overeating where i feel stuffed and stomach hurts
-can eat very lightly but get very hungry in evening
-also crave soft boiled eggs and beef
- don't like eating clams/mussels/oysters
-don't like drinking cold water

temp

-don't like stuffy room, like window open
-chill on going to bed
-warm in morn

Hi Zoloty,

You can take a single dose of LACHESIS 200c.

Just dissolve 2 pellets directly on the tongue. make sure nothing enters the mouth 1 hr before and 1 hr after the dose.

Report in 1 week.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
I will order this one.

What is the difference between taking straight pellets to diluting them in water to a liquid form of the remedy? Is one more gentle?
 
zoloty last decade
Giving in water is more gentle.

I want to go for a dry dose, because I think Med has brought out very strong indications for Lachesis.

However, it will not matter that much even if you take it in water in the same manner as earlier.

We are not going to repeat a 200c anyways, dry or wet.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Today is day 17 after Lach 200c. Can I send you an email?

-zoloty
 
zoloty last decade
I got your mail.

Will respond in a day or 2.
 
sameervermani last decade
Please take 3 doses of SULPHUR 30, and report back 5 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Hope you are doing very well.

Its been 9 days since I took the sulphur. I didn't respond sooner because nothing much was going on. Still nothing much is going on(on the mental front). . but I am having bowel movements most days again, regardless of what I eat, so maybe good things will still come from this. Overall, mentally I have not had any changes. On days 7 and 8 i kind of shut myself in and didn't go outside and watched tv and slept as much as i could and avoided all responsibilities. Today I was anxious most of the day.

Here is general physical stuff:
-left eye stabbing/pinching pain inner part
-swollen painful pimples- R temple, chin, upper back
-planning, making lists
-overeating, gaining weight
-waking to pee in morning
-sleeping in as much as possible, wish to avoid reality this way
-floating black spots in front of eyes
-some days songs stuck in head(sometimes songs I have heard that day or day before, other times songs I haven't heard in long time)

-procrastinating
-abdomen itches

That's all for now. Do you think there is hope for sulphur? Is it usually a slow acting or fast acting remedy?

Thank you!

Hi zoloty,

Will analyze again, but I am traveling right now.

Will respond in a couple of days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Take a dose of Sulphur 200c, dissolve 2 pellets in 250 ml water, and take a teaspoon.

Report in 10 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Sameer, its been 14 days since I have taken sulph 30c. There has been no mental improvement and I have been constipated again since day 10 after dose.

Can you tell me please why move to 200c?
 
zoloty last decade
I had just written this before you post. maybe it will help:

Hi Sameer,

I know your traveling, so take your time responding. I just wanted to write this before you spend time formulating all of my symptoms again.

I was thinking that maybe it would make sense for me to talk more in detail about the way my tonsils swell and that could narrow down remedies to a handful that we can then both look over?

-generally, large tonsils the size of walnuts
-tonsil sickness at least once a year, in the past 2-3 times a year
-swelling and tonsils get covered with whitish/yellowish spots and this smells bad
-warm liquids make throat feel better
-sometimes, if spots start to come off, new ones form

Also, if i am sick with a fever-- I am not thirsty and i get chills and shake and also get really hot but even if i am sweating I like to stay covered.


Sulphur has not done anything(i thought it was well indicated from reading up). I was also reading about Psorinum, how it is a remedy to use when sulphur is indicated and fails. I read also that it a psoric nosode, and since you have been saying that my symptoms are sycotic, this may not fit.

recent symptoms: (these aren't new either and not all of them of course. would it help for me to make a new and extensive list for you?

I can also enter my symptoms into the abcsoftware, but I feel like many important symptoms from hering, for instance, are missing as options here)

phys

-chill easily and takes a little while to warm up,
-like window open, fresh air
-wake to pee in early morning few times
-constipated
-small spot on skin feels like tiny gust of wind is blowing or tiny insect crawlling
-left eye inner corner sharp pain recurring daily, sometimes twice daily
-scalp-pimple with pus


mental

-hate waking- going back to reality- wish i would never wake up- sad to return to all the cares and nothing not unhappy
-wake angry(cat was meowing and woke my up, i threw her on couch)
-face and body feels warmer from anger
-sometimes want to cry if i am really frustrated and angry
-violent impulses(like with the cat) i get this impulse with wanting to push people that frustrate me too, but don't act on it
-ive been sad so i want to be around bf but then get irritated and need my space and push him away
-sadness, hopelessness, think about dying a daily-- in a wish i was dead sort of way, maybe a car could hit me fatally
-enjoy rainy weather, storms
-haven't been wanting to listen to music lately, makes me sad
-absentminded, say wrong things, cant focus or listen, make mistake i was careful to think about not making
-always in a hurry and there is not enough time, worried about being late
-never get anything done, lazy, don't enjoy anything
-can't relax without watching tv, or something thing to distract, otherwise i worry about what i should do/could have done
-social anxiety and much anxiety about upcoming social events
-social event, even like a class with other people, exhausts me and i need time to recover after
