Hi Sameer,
I haven't been too consistent with my moods during this period - varied from energetic to ecstatic ( didn't observe myself but my wife told me that I seem to be happier last friday and saturday) to sluggish ( don't feel like doing much work in office these days) to worried to angry/disappointed.
I believe my mental state was event driven most of the time.
I was less worried about my eye, partly because my search of related symptoms lead me nowhere and made me believe that what my eye doctor is telling could be correct (tear film disturbance).
however, I had a re-occurrence of eye pain accompanied by headaches. Doc had put me on steroid based eye drops and didn't inform me to stop it suddenly, which I did and that resulted in relapse of symptoms. It used to be worse during day time and relatively better in the evenings. But even that apart, I wasn't feeling like applying myself much.
I went to see the doc again for eye pain and she reprimanded me for stopping the eye drops, while I felt that she should have informed me of that, at the same time I was hurt by her scolding.
On a couple of days when I didn't have pain, I was happy and felt like playing with my son, I was even joking around much and laughing on small things.
I normally don't expect much from people (I used to think so, but I realize I do have expectations), and someone close fell quite short of that. Had a disappointment along with anger.
Thats brief summary of my mental states during the week.

These eye drops (steroid) might explain why the remedy is not working as I had expected.
What is it that you are using them for ?
Many a times, steroids are prescribed for something very minor, and that complicates the problem, and needless to say the suppressive effects of such a treatment have an effect on the overall vitality.

Hi Sameer,
The eye drops are prescribed by ophthalmologist for ocular pain. These are anti inflammatory drops, so quite likely that they suppress the immune system for bringing about relief.
I had these drops from 10/1 to to 10/7 and I had first LM1 dose on 10/13. Then I had the second dose on 10/23 and started the eye drops on 10/24. There is a fair chance that steroids might have interfered with the remedy taken, as suggested by you.
Sameer, if it were some other part of body, I would have given up allopathic medicine and lived with the pain. I don't know what can be done in this case. Please suggest what you perceive is the best way to proceed from here on.
Thanks,
Navdeep

Let us raise sucussions
1) Hit the LM1 bottle 8 times , each hit being a hard hit to the bottom of the 10 ml LM1 bottle on your palm.
2) Take out 1 drop of LM1 in 1 litre or 1000 ml spring water in a bottle, and tilt the bottle upside down a few times, for the drop to spread
4) Take a teaspoon from the bottle
Try to taper off the steroidal drops.

Hi Sameer,
I took the recommended dose 4 days back and I feel very sorry to say that I still can't see any tangible improvement :(. On last two occasions when I took LM1 dose, I had seen that there is an initial aggravation which takes place immediately upon taking the remedy and then comes down to steady state position. This time I did not see any aggravation, but the skin on spots started to come off. It gave me an initial impression that finally things have started to improve. The skin also seemed to thin out on some spots, but it started to look bad again since yesterday. Itching/burning/bleeding has gotten back to levels where i feel it has become bothersome.
I sometimes get a feeling that a couple of spots are tending to look better, but I don't see any improvement which can make me feel confident about it.
I am feeling more hungry, I get craving for food (for any kind of food, but specifically spicy food) and I eat till I can have no more.
On the mental front, good part is that I am no longer living in the gripping fear which I was in for past few weeks. But, I am waiting for and observing the impact of remedy last taken and that keeps me nervous, especially when I see that there is little change in the condition. I hate this disease and I am so desperate to get rid of it, but I begin to despair when I see no improvement. I thought I had been peevish and short tempered on two of the last 4 days.
I have started to taper off steroidal drops, now taking it twice a day. In 4-5 more days i'll reduce it to once a day and then stop it completely within a week more.
Thanks,
Navdeep

Sameer, I forgot to add this yesterday and I thought it is important to let you know - It is not just the lack of improvement that I am seeing after taking LM doses, I feel it is actually getting worse :(. Many old spots which had gone away with Sil. have come back on almost all parts of body, in addition to several new spots. They also look quite bad (but still are better than before I started consulting you).

I am extremely sorry for the repeated posts - Sameer, but a thought came to my mind today morning and I felt it is worthwhile to discuss it with you. What are the chances that sulphur hasn't got completely antidoted? Maybe silicea antidoted it only so much and calceara again provided it with an outlet to strike back? Maybe we still need to antidote sulphur more.
I got this thought because the speed and intensity of psoriasis buildup is IMHO pointing to some kind of inimical reaction. It could also be because, as you said earlier, the skin complaints tend to come back under right constitutional remedy, but I think the surge should have started to subside by now. On the contrary it continues to surge forward.
Kindly share your thoughts on this, and please consider my humble opinion on anti-doting sulphur again, maybe with some other remedy.

Sameer, I know you are busy and not getting a chance to take a look at many posts and I feel apologetic about these daily posts. This is my attempt to help you help me, so please excuse me if you find anything inappropriate. You had provided somebody on the forum a link to ntworld site, and I just happened to visit that site. I browsed through sulphur syptoms, and I feel I am still proving sulphur symptoms strongly.
1. Laziness - Everything on my to do list keeps on getting procrastinated - paying bills, booking tickets, getting vehicle serviced etc etc...
2. Slovenliness - I dont like to take bath daily, my hair are often dishevelled and my shirt is rarely tucked in. When I am alone, all the belongings (newspapers, food plates, cloths, laptop) keep lying on the bed or cluttered around - until i get sick of it and make the room clean.
3. criticism - I have a tendency to find faults with others. My generic thoughts are also contemptuous about others, especially if I feel their tastes are inferior. E.G. i don't like to watch cricket not because I dislike the game, but I dislike the commercialization of the game. I feel that everyone else makes money except for the viewer, who pays for all that. I dislike (or hold in contempt) the sheeple who watches cricket.
4. Anxiety : You must be well aware of this by now. Can't describe anything better but the following sentence :The Sulphur patient can be a true hypochondriac. He can also have irrational anxiety about the family's well-being; if someone is late, his mind turns immediately to car accidents, etc.'...yes thats ME!!!!
5. Egotism - I have low self esteem and likes to be adored. I feel good to get the attention, although I might feel shy about it.
6. The philosophical type : Ok, this may not be true for me in the exact sense, but my tastes are a bit intellectual. I like to read spiritual books and watch science channels. I like to watch movies which holds me in awe while I watch it - can be thriller/horror or comedy.

LAZINESS.
DIRTY OR MESSY. INDIFFERENT TO APPEARANCE. Averse bathing.
Fears: Disease. Rejection. Failure.
AVERSION TO BODY ODORS OF OTHERS (BUT LOVES HIS OWN).
Craves: .
Just want to add here that beer used to be my favourite drink and I had strong cravings for that. I lost my company when I moved to hyd and now it is much reduced, but still have cravings for cold drinks/cold juices. I sometimes crave for sweets and I can't stop at having just one piece of it.
I am sensitive to others feelings, gullible and often jealous too. I can't say no directly, and sometimes to get out of situation I make very silly excuses. I am not very emotional and I don't keep in touch with friends once they are away. I don't like much to talk on telephone, and sometimes pretend something so that I don't have to talk. I am not sure if these are covered under sulphur, but I can connect to a lot of points mentioned in there.
Sorry once again for the repeated posts, I think i've communicated what I wanted to, so will wait for you to post a reply to my messages. Please let me know if I need to make myself more clear on any of the points.
Thank you so much,
Navdeep

I think your body has a vital force which has been battered a lot by high potencies of Sulphur and now it has become very sensitive to homeopathic remedies. I do not think, anti-doting Sulphur further would help.
I still think the remedy might well be Calcarea Carb, however it might worsen your skin as that seems to be the way your body is 'tuned' to discharge.
Tell me how well do you deal with responsibility ?

Hi Sameer,
Thank you so much for addressing my concerns on anti doting.
I am a very irresponsible person, I have always been so. I become responsible only in situations where I have no other alternative but to get the job done. Sometimes I have to be reminded multiple times that this is something for me to get done, or sometimes I have to be verbally pushed to get it done.
I don't normally say no to an oncoming responsibility, that might give a false impression that I am quite responsible. But when it comes to execution, I am quite bad at that.
When a responsibility comes in the form of some task to be done, I look at the responsibility and look at the timeline, if the action item is not immediately due, I put it off to a later moment. I get the job done quite satisfactorily in the end, but it is always accompanied by a feeling that I could have got it done better had I planned it well.
Being an escapist, if I have a way of avoiding the responsibility, I would do that happily. Sometimes if the cost of not being responsible is not much or nothing, I don't do that job at all.
I am more responsible in situations where stakes are higher. I don't need any reminder or any push for getting that done.
Please let me know when I should take the next LM dose.
It was sixth day since my last LM dose.
Thank You,
Navdeep

Okay, this time, give 8 hits to the LM1 bottle, wait for 1 minute, open the lid and then take a SHORT sniff from the bottle, so that you can smell alcohol going in.
Report in 3 days.
If this does not bring mental improvement, we will change remedy.

Hi Sameer,
First of all, thank you so much for your continuous support and all the efforts you are putting for me to get me well. I got a feeling that you have been busy with some personal stuff, and yet you are taking out time to help people on the forum. Its really a very noble gesture from you. I always feel thankful to you, but I thought this is time to be vocal about it. Really appreciate you going an extra mile for helping people like me on this forum :).
I'll take the LM1 dose as recommended by you. I'll report back to you, but I feel 3 days are sometimes too less to judge the changes happening physically or mentally. I might take a day or two extra to be sure of what I am observing and reporting back. I hope that should be okay by you.

Hi Sameer,
First change I am making today is change of my alias name at abc. I felt I am not a disease, and so shouldn't be my alias name :).
I have good news as well as bad news. I'll start with the good one. I visited another eye hospital few days back to get an alternative opinion on the ocular pain. The first thing doctor did was lift my eyelid when I told him that I have a pain there. It turned out to be a small pimple kind of thing in there. He didn't recommend any new treatment, asked me to continue with steroid drops (although he wasn't convinced that these were needed in the first place) and asked me to report back after a month because he wouldn't know if there is any other problem since steroids will suppress any inflammation.
So load was already off my head when I took the LM1 dose. I had been suffering from anxiety for a long time, so it took a day to wear off. I felt anxious without any known reason. But then on, have been feeling increasingly good. I am experiencing a stillness of mind, coupled with increased self assurance, focus and happiness.
On the physical front, I am having very mild productive cough and I get some expectoration a few times a day. It seemed to start all of sudden a few days back, I think even before my last LM dose. Psoriasis spots are showing no mercy, continue to surge forward.
Please let me know if we should wait for few more days or is it time to strike agin.
Thank you,
Navdeep

Hi Sameer,
Two days up and time for me to report back :).
I was feeling energetic with a surge of determination yesterday. I was digging in deeper (introspection) and trying to do a self psychoanalysis so that I am able to portray a complete picture to you if required again. This was like preparing for plan B if calc doesn't help. But all the way along I was having certain sense of determination to fight it out against psoriasis.
Today was just another ordinary day, just calm and peaceful sunday. We went out for buying groceries and I was a little self conscious because of psoriasis.
I was feeling slight improvement in some of the spots today. It is barely noticeable change. It would become more clear in coming days how this pans out to be, whether it improves from here on or falls back again.
Please let me know if I should repeat the dose again.
Thanks,
Navdeep

Hi Sameer,
Here is the latest update from me about my condition. I might appear to be a little frustrated, so please bear with me. I am going to write everything that went through my mind in last two days.
I was back to square one for last two days. I got a recurrence of ocular pain yesterday along with the headache. I know it would be because of stye under the eyelid, but was physically in pain, so was down mentally too.
I was again worrying for psoriasis too because the small improvement I was observing turned to be false and spots were again looking bad yesterday. I know it might take sometime for improvement to start showing, but I can't stop worrying when things go bad. Maybe I am some results by now, which are not showing, leading me to mental pain and I feel sad about it.
Actually, more than body, I am worried about spots on my face region. It directly hurts my self confidence and self esteem. I am always self conscious about the spots. I keep thinking that I look bad with them and I feel embarrassed. Maybe I am scared of what people might think and I feel like avoiding public places. Even if I go, I just don't wish to catch anybody's attention. Maybe that's why I am feeling so impatient too, and in a hurry for results to show.
I have been through this hysteresis loop of amelioration and aggravation so many times that I sometimes wonder if I would ever get cured. I get so close to being normal, and when I start believing that - boom...it comes back. I have been discouraged before too, but I always used to be hopeful. This time however, I seem to be losing it mentally too. I was brooding over the fact that maybe it won't get cured, maybe I have to live with it. I felt depressed. I tried to cut the pain by trying to accept the fact, but just couldn't do it. I couldn't accept the embarrassment to be caused by this disease for rest of my life. (I am struggling to control me breaking down as I write this to you).
Alright, I am feeling somewhat relieved now. I was initially planning for a two liner kind of update, but then thought that painting the complete mental picture might be of more help to you.
Please let me know if I can repeat the LM1 dose again. Also, when do you think would be the right time to deploy LM2?
Thanks,
Navdeep

Hi Sameer,
I don't see any respite for my psoriasis spots, in fact they continue to worsen in numbers as well as intensity.
On the mental front, I was feeling better after my last note to you, continued to do well the next day too (11/11). But from 12/11 I started feeling giddy which seemed to worsen after taking bath and movement (e.g. driving). 13/11 was much severe, wherein I was feeling very giddy and had to consciously control my movements. On both of these days I was worried if I was having some cardiac problem and was worried as if I was going to die. Then 13/11 onwards I started doing pranayama and got relief from giddiness.
Yesterday onwards, I was again worried about psoriasis and my vision too. The sty is creating some sort of tension in both eyes and its quite painful. Psoriasis spots also surged again which makes me tremendously worried. My face is again fully covered with spots :(, and so is the scalp. The large number of smaller new spots which appeared all over my body have started to spread in diameter. Probably going by just the count wise, I think this is the worst, although intensity wise I think I am still better than the worst condition I was in before. On both of these days I was partially depressed, I didn't feel like doing anything or talking to anyone. I am too much self conscious in public places.
What is your assessment of situation...do you think are we on track? Please let me know what should be done next...
Thanks,
Navdeep

Hi Sameer,
I realized that much of my mood swings during past one month or so were induced by worries about eye condition. Whenever I used to feel low or anxious, this used to be the main reason behind it, and I am pretty sure that I would have been in much better mood if I had not been struggling with this condition.
I was worried about damage that might have happened to the eye because of trauma and I was afraid that it would manifest itself over a period of time. And I was afraid that maybe doctors haven't come across such a situation, or maybe they are overlooking something. So even visits to doctors were not very helpful.
So, I am not sure the response I measured for Calcerea was correct. And I was afraid that same thing would happen to Lyco too. So I decided to wait till I get this out of way before I take any more doses.
I think I have started to stabilize on that front and I hope that I would be doing much better now. Even if I have an occasional bad day because of eye condition, I have decided that I wouldn't include that as part of my report to you. I thought it just makes the picture murky.
I think I am in better mental makeup now and wanted to take the next dose, but I was wondering if we should give a few more chances to Calc before deserting it. I was reading somewhere that sometimes it might take months even with LM doses to have any significant improvement in the condition.
However, psoriasis has become increasingly worse everyday from the day we started Calc. There is no respite from ever surging psoriasis spots. Now I don't think that psoriasis spots are increasing in number, but the increase in their real estate and intensity continues.
Please let me know if I should take lyco now or you would consider dosing Calc maybe one last time.
I wanted to ask one more thing to you - since my primary concern dealing with psoriasis are the spots on face/neck/ears, would it be okay if I consult some dermatologist and use some ointment for treating spots on the face.
Thanks,
Navdeep

'would it be okay if I consult some dermatologist and use some ointment for treating spots on the face'
^^^ This and the homeopathic treatment cannot happen at the same time, as ointments work in the opposite direction to homeopathy.
Take an olfaction dose of Calc LM2 (no hits needed as this is the first dose), and report back in 3-4 days.

Hi Sameer,
We got to see some positive response from the remedy after a long time :). On day 1, I could observe some reduction in the intensity on facial spots. On day 2, it got a little more better. But on day 3, the effect seem to be waning away and spots seem to worsen a little (or at best stable, but I feel its a little worse).
Mental front, it was better - overall negativity which plagued me for last several weeks got reduced.
Please let me know if you think we need higher LM remedies at our hand. I'll place the order so that we have them by the time those are needed.
Thanks,
Navdeep
