The ABC Homeopathy Forum
joing pain
Dear Dr. Sameer,I am writing this time because I am asking you to help me by suggesting a remedy for myself.
I have been in so much pain for the last 2 weeks I cannot take it anymore. I do not want to do isopathic prescribing ie take arnica for joint pain.
My pain is very severe in my joints, hips, and knees. I have had 13 surgeries there since a child due to congenital hip dislocation and as a result I am now experiencing degenerative arthritis. The pain also radiates in the muscles, all around the joints.
I am better with heat though not damp, better with dry heat, and I do not really do well in the sun for long periods of time.
I am overweight, the majority of weight on the hips, I do not walk very much, only a little when I am not in pain. Even when I do a little walking, the pain exaggerates and discourages me.
I am quite a sensitive person, I feel readily another person's feelings, very empathetic of other's plight.
I do not like direct attention from others, though I do like to be appreciated.
I could say that I crave carbohydrates, but also dairy products which I avoid because I feel they congest my ears (yogurt or milk is worse for that than cheese.)
For the last 5 weeks I have been experiencing vertigo( diagnosed as benign positional vertigo), whenever I turned my head the whole room would go spinning. It lasted fully 18 days, then it eased up enough so I can drive. Right now it is 80% gone but sometimes when I go to lift up my head from the bed, I feel the same feeling that I am dizzy. So it has not cleared up completely.
My ears feel somewhat sore or definitely itchy, and sometimes they make a slight popping sound.
About one month ago I took Nat Carb 200c, because it seemed to me to fit some of my personality symptoms, I could not decide whether I need nat mur or calc carb, I am not a homeopath, and I do not really want to self prescribe, I do get desperate sometimes however because I get panic attacks, where I feel so desperate and helpless because I fall apart so easlily and without much cause. I am 51, menses stopped aroung age 45, and I have not been the same since. All my symptoms used to be worse I was a wreck, but now it is better, but I would like to feel strong and healthy both emotionally and physically.
I do not take medication for pain, I figured I have had enough drugs with all my surgeries, but the pain does get too much to bear.
I am not the complaining type but it seems that I suffer silently (at least my kids tell me so)
And as far as joint replacemetns go, how could I possibly have 4 joints replaced?
I have had the chichen pox, the measles, whooping cough, diptheria and typhoid fever, for the last two I am sure they gave me antibiotics as a child.
I have had kidney stones, ages, 14,18 and 27.
When I was 20 yrs old I was given nat mur by a homeopath.
I most likely overeat, I definitely need to lose weight, and I know that but I do not exercise and that compounds my problems.
I also have heartburn almost every time I eat, but wheat(and other starches) makes it way worse than any other food.
I would really really appreciate any suggestions you might have for me.
paternal grandmother had diabetes, died at age 83, father presently has dementia, after pacemaker was installed,
both parents still alive
maternal aunt had schizophrenia, died age 83.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi Marika,
Please talk about your fears, and main things you worry about.
Also, how extroverted/introverted are you ?
How easily impressionable are you ? How tough or easy is it to convince you ?

Dear Dr. SAmeer,
I am intrroverted for sure. In fact, I am very comfortable alone, do not 'need' company even though I quite enjoy socializing if I have to but do not seek it out.
I am quite impressionable, (how the heck do you figure these things out?) but I pride myself in believing that people are fundamentally good, and so I always see the best in people, but have in fact gotten in trouble because I cannot believe that someone may have alterior motives, or their own interests in mind. I am very altruistic, and truly and deeply care about the other person in my dealings.
Fears: I fear that my health might not be good for me to have a strong career, as I am 51. I am a single parent and have focused on my children for quite some tome now, but as they are growing I would like to be strong enough to pursue my own dreams. I also fear that there is something wrong with my heart as I get panick attacks and I feel sensations in the heart area, but I have been to emergency and they told me there is nothing wrong.
During some of those episodes, I have had in the past, the left side of my body, especially my arm feels somewhat numb or weaker, and I know it is a nervous system problem, because when the panic finishes, all the symptoms go away. During those times, I also feel my throat feels choked up or I start to feel my voice going.
Being in crowds or shopping malls also makes me feel too overwhelmed and I need to go away either to the car or straight home. I usually avoid crowds.
I feel that I have not been supported emotionally by my mother as she asks of me that I always understand her life or plight,-I have and usually am very understanding of others all my life, but in the last year or so ( it could be menopausal) I have started to be not so agreeable all the time, and have started to not acquiesce so easily.
This has resulted in some dissension from my mother and my sister-it is not easy for them to accept my standing up for myself. And, It is not easy for me to do that either.
This brings me to the next point that bothers me about myself. I feel sometimes angry with myself for not being strong enough to defend myself or stand up for myself-or put myself first.
I have been working in that area so that I may bring about this change from within myself. I always try to help myself, I am quite independent and do not readily ask for help or cry about my problems.
I have age spots on the back of my hands, I feel it is too early to get those, I would love for them to go away.
I also feel that I need calcium and should probably start taking calc phos tissue salts (you can tell me if yes)
When I do a job that requires standing up for more than 40 minutes, I start to hurt-the joints, the muscles on the neck and shoulders start to burn.
Thank you so much for giving of your time to me.
I think you are an excellent homeopath.
Sincerely

Is there a feeling of being neglected or forsaken by your mother ? Please talk about it if there is such a feeling.
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer,
yes there is a feeling there, but more strongly it has been a realization that she has had an attitude that I am the strong one( emotionally) and therefore I can take a lot. I never talked back as a child where my sister did, I never had a sharp word, I never really stood up for myself, so she has criticized me, or worse, she dismisses me as 'naive'. This is a word she has often used to describe me, but I never paid attention to these things, so they did not bother me in the past.
But in the last couple of years, especially since I have done a lot of co-dependency work on myself, I have realized that I cannot allow another to subdue me like that even though it may be my mother.
the same has been going on with my sister. Even though she is younger than me, she is the controlling one, the bossy one, and I, do not take on the fight. Instead, I retreat, forgive and carry on as if nothing has ever happened. When we were young my sister would hit me knowing that I could not run to hit her back, and when I would tell my mother, she would say well, when she comes close, you hit her too.
My reply: How can I be so immature as to hit her?
For some reason, these memories have surfaced for me in the last few years and I decided that I cannot allow myself to be like that anymore, but I find that I cannot still voice these feelings to my mother nor to my sister. If I do, I still get dismissed as trying to stir up trouble. So I do not say anything.
I feel however, that I get taken for granted, my mother expects me to protect my sister 'because you are the oldest', eventhough I have done so much more for my sister than she has even done for me. If I confront my mother about harsh words she has spoken to me she is denying it and calls me further names, which makes me be quiet again.
I have a 'caretaker' personality, and anyone who is close to me gets taken care a lot, but I feel my mother does not consider me the same way she considers my sister.
I saw this clearly last summer when I visited Europe, and I heard from my mother so much praise for my sister, and a lot of subvert criticism for me.
I try to be mature and unerstand that this is the best my mother can do. And my sister, really, this is the best that she could do, she is more aggressive, but my inner child is up I guess, so I am feeling hurt about that issue.
I am not blaming them, but I do blame myself for not speaking up. In fact, often, I feel suppressed feelings in my throat, as if I want to cry but cannot, and it reminds me of when in the hospital as a child, I remember my mother plugging her ears so as not to hear me crying because she was leaving, and I would try not to cry so as not to cause her any pain.
This is quite a pattern for me, like the agrimony personality in the bach remedies.-now that I am older, I feel I should have done differently.
Thank you for asking me, it is great to get this info out.

Hi Marika,
How do you feel on waking up in the morning ? (especially mentally)
Can we say you are person who has a very strong sense of duty ?
Do you tend to be the pacifist--always trying to make peace in family members ?

I have a very very strong sense of duty, responsibility, and in a very bizzare way I feel shame. I mus feel that I do not deserve, because I am quite shy, lack self-confidence and if in a crowd, I do not speak unless spoken to, in fact I do not like focused attention on me, as in public speaking, I would freeze.
I do not feel insecure, quite the opposite, If someone speaks to me I will speak, otherwise I will be very glad to focus on others' stories or what they have to say. I genuinely feel glad if someone gets praise, and I never compare my life with others' I know that everyone is where they are supposed to be. I do always, however try to improve myself, grow from within.
In the morning I am just fine, I wake up in a good mood and am ready to start the day, but my physical energy is not always there. I wake up with pain in my body, low back and joints. I do relaxation and meditation always at night before going to sleep, being grateful for all the good things in life.
Do I try to always make peace?
I would not say that about myself. Then again in my home we do not have too many arguments but when the kids do of course I try to be just in the situation and bring things to some kind of balance between the children.
I would say that I am the tolerant patient type who can take a lot before I say that is enough. Or I say that's enough when things have gone very far. this is for my own life, but in ordinary day to day situations I always step back and be agreeable.
I have a quality about myself that I do not quite like:I do not like to see others suffering and I try to prevent others from feeling pain. In a strange way I feel it too and maybe that is what I am trying to prevent. This is unravelling in my thoughts as I am explaining it to you right now.
Somewhere in my being there is data that I have caused my mother and my parents pain. I wrote before that I was born with congenital hip dislocation and had to have lots of surgery to correct this problem Well this was quite an inconvenience for my home because it meant a lot of travelling for my mom, back and forth to the city ( a long trip) and it meant that I had to live in the hospital.
Of course it was traumatic for everyone, but as I grew up I did keep hearing from my mother about'how much she has been through for me'. I did hear it, listen to it and must have absorbed it deeply because I feel that I am the cause of a lot of pain. Now that I think back, it is a lot for a little child to have to process emotionally, and some part of me feels resentful towards my mother. Plus the fact that my complacent personality has not worked out to my advantage. My sister must have been jealous of the attention I got during those years because she used to come to hit me and run away, knowing that I was not able to hit her back because I could not run. When I would tell my mom she would say to me 'when she comes close, hit her too' and I would reply 'but that is so immature'
My sister has kept up with her feelings of jealousy, she is not happy about me when things go well, I do not confront her about it instead avoid the whole thing so as to please my mother, and in the last little while I have decided that I am not going to play martyr with my sisters behaviour, but my mother always blames me when things do not go smoothly between us.
This sounds petty enough even to me, but these are things which I do not usually disclose , only now that I am trying to help myself somehow, and I am sooo thankful that I have the chance to express the buried stuff.
The truth is I would like to be able to communicate openly with my family, but it has been impossible, I get the blame, and so I leave it all alone, It is easier.

Hi Marika,
Any odd mental or physical that you can think of ?
Also, any strong food cravings or aversions ?
How do you respond to sympathy or consolation ?

Hello Sameer,
Any odd mental or physical
Mental: 1)I am weirdly secretive about things that do not even matter.ie, I talk about myself and what I may be doing after it is done. Right now I am taking a course and no one knows what it is, only when I am finished I will tell others. Why? Because I do not like people talking about me. I am very sensitive in that respect, I can almost know what the other person is thinking, and it all becomes too much for me to handle if they think or say,'well, are you finished that course, or what is taking you so long' it is too much for me, maybe it is an ego thing, I do not really know.
Mental 2) Sometimes the following has happened:
I lose control of my emotions and blow up in anger for not a good enough reason. ie. I had to go take my son to a sports class and left instructions with my daughter to put the already prepared food in the oven, so It could be ready when I came back so we could eat and leave on time for a certain appointment. Usually I do all this by myself but this day we had time commitments.
when I came back the dish was
still out of the oven, not ready, it would take too long, so I had to quickly prepare something for the family dinner and get ready to leave soon after.
My reaction was very explosive, I went into this whole emotional loud expression how for once I expected something done, only warmed up and still it was not done.
My voice was very loud, the kids were scared because I do not do this usually, and I could not stop my reprimanding and shouting to my daughter.
Of course the whole mood of the evening changed, and everybody had to calm down from the whole thing.
AT the same time that I was yelling, I was almost watching myself doing it and could not stop. (Something like a cherry plum bach remedy) behaviour and maybe that is what I had needed, but it scared me too because it was unreasonable: too much energy spent on something not so important.
It felt like the cork blew off the bottle of my emotions, usually I let things go.
fIt also felt like a storm that swept across a room and then the sky cleared as suddenly as it had come.
I prefer to have the self control ahead of time.
Mental 3) I have a lot of qualifications in the alternative health field, yet I still feel like I need more in order that I be a good healer. A person cannot spend their whole life studying, yet I am still studying.
Physical odd thing: When I reach the stage of my physical and emotional extreme tiredness, I feel shivery, I shiver without being cold, even if it is hot or I am sitting in front of the fireplace. It is a shivering of the nervous system, not from being cold. Then I know for sure it is time for a remedy because nothing else will relieve it.
It is an unreasonable symptom.
How do you respond to sympathy or consolation?
I do not like sympathy or consolation, but I do like support. It sounds weird, but I prefer to be by myself when I am having a hard time, I do not get on the phone telling everybody my woes, yet I listen very attentively to others' woes. In fact, it happens to me that people sometimes phone me to tell me of their problems, I listen, but I never phone them to do the same. And I still would not phone, I think of it as an imposition to another for me to do that.
If someone calls me and sincerely asks how I am and what I am doing, I will honestly tell them, and be very glad that they asked. but I will not volunteer it.
So I guess maybe I do like sympathy in a very clean/honest way, if it comes my way.
Cravings? Definitely carbohydrates, not necessarily sweets, but carbs for sure over meat. not pasta, but floury, like muffins or breads. I also like creamy things, but I mentioned before that I find these congest my ears, not good for me.
I like bitter herbs too.
Aversions: slimy things like mussels.

I am adding another weird thing: I cannot find the right words sometimes when I speak, the right word will not come to my brain as if I never learned the word before.
Add to the aversions: undercooked egg whites.

Dear Dr. Sameer,
I think it has been more than 10 days, but here are some of my observations:
The same night I took the Nat mur 30c I felt a calm sweep across my body, especially the sore muscles. It felt very good to feel relaxed and I looked forward to taking the next dose. (I took three altogether the same evening)
the feeling of relaxation lasted quite a few days, but when I started doing things again the muscle pain started once more. I mean the tightness on the neck muscles, and the same descending down on each side of the spine.
The pain in the joints is pretty much there as long as I try to do anything. (I have started chanting sanskrit words and to be honest it is helping me with my physical pain.)
I have noticed that I am more peaceful inside, I have not had an anger episode for stupid little reasons, or lets say I observe myself when it is coming and that usually stops it.
I still have little conversations in my mind about my mother having hurt me emotionally and me not reacting-this causes some self-disgust within me. I wish I could be more reactive when she belittles me.
I still crave carbs and maybe creamy things.
I am making it a point to meditate daily and release all my issues to my divine self.
I appreciate your work as always and do not know how to thank you.
Blessings

the feeling of relaxation lasted quite a few days, but when I started doing things again the muscle pain started once more. I mean the tightness on the neck muscles, and the same descending down on each side of the spine.
The pain in the joints is pretty much there as long as I try to do anything. (I have started chanting sanskrit words and to be honest it is helping me with my physical pain.)
I have noticed that I am more peaceful inside, I have not had an anger episode for stupid little reasons, or lets say I observe myself when it is coming and that usually stops it.
I still have little conversations in my mind about my mother having hurt me emotionally and me not reacting-this causes some self-disgust within me. I wish I could be more reactive when she belittles me.
I still crave carbs and maybe creamy things.
I am making it a point to meditate daily and release all my issues to my divine self.
I appreciate your work as always and do not know how to thank you.
Blessings

Dear Sameer,
I am including some more symptoms
My throat seems to be needing clearing a lot. I am told that I snore pretty loudly and scratch my throat in the process, but it also feels like I need to clear it without ever ending.
My ears feel tender inside still as if they are sore inside but I do not really have a cold.
I am very chilly, need to be warm all the time, and do not like my head to be exposed to the wind. I usually cover my head and ears.
I feel pretty good but feel I could have more physical energy, my muscles get so sore when I do tasks as dishes or housework, neck and upper back as if a weight is on them all the time.
I still feel that my mother does not understand my personality and that is ok if only she would not put me down. I would have preferred if she would say I do not agree with you but you are still my daughter and I love you instead of all the put downs. This may be an unreasonable request for a woman her age, 82, it is only my secret wish. then I would feel lighter in my soul. I am working on not letting it affect me.
Sincerely

Hi Marika,
This was a good response.
Please procure Natrum Muriaticum 200c, and update me when you have the remedy with you.

Dear Dr,
I am lucky, the health store had Nat Mur 200c. I have it.
I wanted to ask you, why do I still crave carbs? Does it work this way, that I may need Nat carb if some symptoms are nat and some calcarea?
thank you as always,

I am ok at home, I do though have 'conversations' or should I say monologues to my mother about things I would like to tell her,of my feelings which were never expressed. These thoughts carry me, if I do not intervene and stop them. If not, I get pretty emotional and frankly resentful towards her.
( this is not unfounded, even my daughter agrees that she is biased towards my sister and against me, but she expects me to be mature and 'understanding', and I do not want to be understanding any more. I guess it is all about setting healthy boundaries as many people strive to nowadays.
So, yes, I am fine in my own family, but if I go into the past I feel resentment.
thank you sincerely,

Dear Sameer,
I have taken the Nat Mur 200c back in May 25th, and it has worked quite well for me, in the emotional realm. I noticed that my anger has subsided for quite a long time I felt pretty calm, but I am experiencing excrutiating joint pain all along. Sometimes it goes away for a little but returns full strength again. It is hard to feel stiff all the time, and the pain may be throbing or dull, it may change. Damp weather is always worse of course.
Today I had an occasion that prompted me to write again. My son talked to me in a condescending way, something like: why don't you go and be on the computer and leave me alone,' and I actually felt like hitting him. I surprised myself again, I wanted to hit him.
I do not like that behaviour because I do not hit my kids, but I felt like it.
Is that Lycopodium behaviour?
(I have age spots on my hands and I would love for them to go away.)
Sometimes I watch myself be sluggish like Calcarea and often I wonder if I need Nat Carb. (I am always assessing my remedy needs)
I do not like loosing control of my emotions, it happens so fast.
Maybe I am touchy like Hepar Sulph.
Thank you for reading my entry.
Sincerely
Marika

Hi Marika,
There are shades of Calcarea and Nat-c but none at all of Hepar or Lyc.
However, right now, we should stay with Natrum Mur, please order the higher potency which would be a 1M.
Talk to me when you have the remedy with you.

Dear Dr.,
It has been two weeks that I have taken Nat Mur 1m.
I did notice a relief in the pain of my joints.
Emotinally/mentaly, I believe I am better, I do not feel so angry in my mind toward people that 'have done me wrong' but I still do wish that I would be stronger in the moment. How can I correct that? I guess It takes time and a little practice.
I should clarify that the situation is still the same, but I am willing to let more things go, I do not feel so hurt.
the thoughts do still come back though, but the resentment inside of me is a little less.
I am starting to exercise a little bit more recognizing that I have to strengthn my muscles around my joints and for cardio health.
I do, however, crave both carbs and dairy,but both are really not good for me. I may even be allergic to both.
I find that I may be a strong judge of myself and always trying to fix my wrongs, or always trying to improve.
I am trying to find a way to strenthen the cartilege in my joints, but because i am presently in homeopathic treatment, I am keeping suppements out of the picture, it does concern me because I have had so much surgery in the past, plus the pain is quite hard to live with.
Any suggestions are always very much appreciated and I am always grateful for everything.
Sincerely
