Hi Marika,
I feel we should wait for 1 more week, as sometimes, when the body is in flux, we should just let it do what it wants to do.
Update me next Friday.

Hello Sameer,
It is Friday evening and I am reporting back. My son's incident has made me forget all my troubles instantly so I have not had time to focus on me.
I can say with certainty though, that last week's troubles seem so far away, or maybe they have lessened tremendously.
I do not feel down and depressed anymore, instead it was instantly replaced with fear and intense anxiety about my son, but now even that is more of an even -let us wait and see attitude-.
I do have a symptom that has crept in in the last couple of days: during the night I am so cold, wrapped in several blankets, my feet are icy cold and no matter how wrapped up I am I cannot get warm. I made sure that no air gets in the covers because it would send me into shivers again. It is very bizarre. During the day, I get cold easily too but during the night it is much worse.
Once a couple of years ago I had this symptom for so long that one day I got so desperate, I went through all my remedies, muscle tested each one, and Hepar Sulph tested so strong, I took two pellets and instantly my feet started warming up.
I do not know if this applies this time, I have not checked. I would rather you decide on the next course of action.
Mentally, as I mentioned before I have gone through quite a time with my son's incident, basically worry, so when something happens with my children everything else goes to the backburner.
I am still tired of having to do all my chores, and cannot wait until I sit down and do my own studying, but this time something else is bothering me quite a lot.
I have a lot of things to do and do not do them These are jobs, housework, organizing closets, doing the fall to winter changeover, and I look at these activities, acknowledge that they need to be done, and go my merry way. I really should be getting them methodically out of the way.
Maybe I am saying that I am being lazy when it comes to housework. I only do the absolute necessary things.
I also find that when I get overwhelmed with jobs, I eat more.
the joint pain is still there, sometimes it eases up for a bit and gives me a reprieve.
thank you

If I were to ask the overall changes since we started Sepia (what improved and what went worse), what would they be ?
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
Since we started Sepia these are the improvements:
I feel an improvement in this sphere in my life: 'I am bound, because I am a single parent and have had the sole responsibility of my children, this reality has made me feel very restricted, sometimes caged in, because it will not (finish) in a month or two.
As a result of my being overwhelmed on a daily basis, I isolate myself so that I do not take on too much.
this feeling has ameliorated. the scenario is still the same, but I am more centred in this role. I still aspire to 'the time when they are grown up' when they will be resposible for themselves, ie driving themselves here and there, etc.
Within me there is a professional woman that has not yet matured to her full potential. I practice my healing arts (Cranio sacral, Reiki, etc) on a part time basis, and a lot with my children, but not full time.
It is important to know that I am not able to do it full time, and that I keep telling myself.
My children are with me 24/7, they do not go to their dad's every other weekend, just one hour short visits. and for this, I take them and pick them up.
I am straying, but this is how my life is.
Since the Sepia, I have felt more at ease with this, and more accepting to do my 'sole parent' duties without thinking that I will nothave the stamina, or whatever strength it takes to last the duration of these next 5 teenage years.
I definitely feel a little stronger in that respect.
I had tremendous muscle burning in my neck muscles whenever I would do any work, ie dishes, cooking, housework. This has also improved so I am able to finish the job before I have to take a break.
the muscles in my hands would get so weak that I was not able to even hold a plate to wash it. This has improved but has not gone away.
The joint pain has improved but is still there, maybe it is not as 'stinging' any more, I still have stiffness though.
I think the biggest improvement is in my inner self, the feeling of 'when am I ever going to be 'the professional woman' that I want to be? I am being more patient but diligent in my studies, and do the chores more mechanically rather than arguing inside of me.
Now the thoughts are more like,:If I did not have all these other responsibilities ould have finished my studies, but as long as I am doing something every day, I am content.
Now I will use my will to prioritize the housework rather than my studies because I am going to visit my parents for a month, in Europe. I have a responsibility to take care of them and my oldest daugther will come and stay here so that I can go.
Did anything go worse'
I would not say anything has gone worse.
I had an incident two days ago that concerned me, I had done alot of work I think outside, and when I camd in to rest a bit, my left hand was trembling, I was watching it, I was holding a page, reading, and it was shaking for real. It felt like a 'nervous system' shaking, it was only the left hand, like a weakness.
It stopped in about 5 minutes, after I rested and relaxed my hands.
I will keep an eye on it, but I do feel my hands weaker than I used to know them in earlier years, now I am finding I am more delicate.
Overall assessment of myself, I am doing better in most areas, I want to thank you for that, and I want to keep going until I am and do my best in every way.
Sincerely,
M

Hello Sameer,
I am adding a few things
I do crave, or I prefer starches to meat anyday, I do eat vegetables daily, but in terms of preference, I would choose the rice and vegetables over meat and vegetables.
I should also mention that I do accumulate things. For example, if I find things 'useful' or 'pretty' I have a hard time throwing them out. I have a lot of interests, so I have also accumulated knowledge. I am trained in Aromatherapy, Iridilogy, Herbology, and other healing arts but I do not have a 'booming business' in any of them because I sometimes feel that I am not 'trained enough' to be an excellent healer.
As a result , I have crystals, essential oils, I make creams with natural ingredients, give those away, yet somehow, I have not 'been successful out there in the world' as we see others.
this is another aspect of me I feel I should let you knowabout and I suppose this also causes the schism withim myself. I fee I can, but have not done it 'yet'
thank you,
Marika

Hi Marika,
I think we can wait for 5 more days, before we decide to take the dose.
Update me on Friday.

Hello Sameer,
It is Friday evening and I am reporting back, wondering if I should take the 1M dose.
That depression I had mentioned a while ago is pretty well gone, it sort of worked through and out of me, that is good because I am not the one to get depressed and pessimistic.
The joint pain remains but a little less, I do have stiffness when I change from standing to sitting or sitting to standing, I have to wait until my body adjusts to the next position.
The weakness in my left side(arm) is still there, but when I overwork myself I feel it stronger, it even shakes a bit as I described on a previous post.
I still get burning at the base of my neck but it is considerably less.
I go about my daily routine without the attitude that 'I am sick of it', but I cannot say that I am thrilled to be in the kitchen preparing 2 meals a day, I find it quite a chore-yet I do not have the same negativity within me about doing it.
It is important here to mention that I have a very high value for making nutritious meals for my children, and they in turn love home-cooked meals. They do not like canned anything.
It is a juxtaposition isn't it that I waht to give my family nutritious food and be sick of cooking at the same time, but here it is.
I would love for a mess not to bother me. I see a stack of papers on the desk, and it can be there for two weeks before I decide to sort it out, or a pile of clothes in a corner of the room. I find though, if I am going after housework all the time, I would not be doing the things that I love to do, ie study or read or something, even spend time with my children, listening to their stories.
Maybe it is a matter of better organization which I am trying to develop.
Should I take the 1M?
Please advise me, I am looking forward to great results.
thank you as always,
M

Hi Marika,
Dissolve 2 pellets of 1M in 250 ml spring water, and take a teaspoon from there ONCE.
Nothing enters mouth 1 hr before and 1 hr after dose.

I forgot to mention that I had a cold sore a few days ago, It was small and healed quickly. Once in a while I get those.

Sorry I forgot.
I mean Sepia 1M above, and you do not need any more doses after that.
I think you should be good for your vacation after the Sepia 1M dose recommended above.

Right now, I am in the midst of a really good cold, runny eyes, coughing but cough is not loose yet, so I am hoping the whole process until the end of the cold will last until Nov. 3, as I am flying on the 4th.
Marika last decade
When did you take the Sepia 1M dose ?
sameervermani last decade
Sorry I have not been able to connect with the forum for one whole hour,
I took Sepia 1M on the 24th, two days ago.

Hello Sameer,
Am I allowed to take herbs at this stage, like lobelia, tulsi, or even use essential oils like bergamot or lavender? these are such great antibacterial and antivirals, yet the action of the remedy is very important here. Plese let me know what you think.
I do not want to antidote my remedy, I just want to help the body move a bit, as I am travelling in a week and I prefer to be clear while going through their inspections and cameras and everything else.
I appreciate your expertise.
Thank you,
M

Hello Dr,
Today when my children came home from school (they go to different schools because of age difference)
both announced that they are reported cases of the swine flu in the school, with many students absent.
They are both convinced that they they also had the flu in the last week when they stayed home because the symptoms matched with their own: fever, low back pain, cough, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness.
Coupled with that there was, all over the news today, the story of the death of a 13yr old, suddenly died of the flu.
Now, the question is, would I be next in line with these said symptoms, and is there an incubation period for this influenza?
It is only my going away next week that has me concernced, and I already have started the symptoms of cough, sore throat and runny eyes.
How long will the effect of my own remedy last and should I be prepared with any more doses for myself when abroad?

If left uninterrupted, the response to 1M can last for 3 to 6 weeks.
I cannot say, if you will get the flu or not, as it is very difficult to predict.
However, I recommend waiting till atleast 1st November before you decide to intervene with anything.

I will wait of course,
by 'intervene' do you mean with remedies or vit C, herbal teas and such?
the issue here is that right now I have one thousand things to do before I leave, and I am not able to stay in bed to take care of these symptoms of the cold.
It is such a true picture of the Sepia overworked mother, I even had a couple of thoughts today like 'well if their father did his job of being a father to these children I might be able to allow myself to have a cold'.
A little 'poor me' feeling passed through me. It is useless even feeling this way, it is not productive for me, but I had one moment today when I felt that.
Maybe it is a healing crisis and old stuff on the emotional level is coming to the surface, doesn't everything have a higher purpose?
If I were to get the flu while I am with my elderly parents, is there one particular remedy you can think of that I should be equipped with?
Thank you
