Hello Sameer,
I have noticed a slight improvement in my ability to move, it still hurts when I stand up for long or when I walk, but the stinging pain has eased up, there is more ease to the movement and as a result I am able to do a little more jobs, chores, etc.
One perhaps new symptom is that I am experiencing bloatedness, upper GI tract gas, I find i need to burp, or wait until it winds itself out. It feels different for me, I have heard people feeling bloatedness but I usually don't experience such symptoms.
In the last week or so, it is quite noticeable no matter what I eat, so it is not necessarily related to one food or another. It feels as if I have a balloon in the middle of my stomach-strange for me.
the other symptoms are pretty much the samebut less of what is-ie, the left foot toes do not feel like they cramp any minute now, as much, and the coccyx is a little less sore.
The spots on the skin are still there.
Thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
It has been another week since having taken Phosphorus, I am still having the digestive symptoms of bloatedness, the joing pain is a little bit less, I have more ease during walking, and I am pleased about that. It is good to be able to do more.
I have a symptom that I keep forgetting to mention to you, in a group of people, when attention is drawn to me and when someone is talking to me I feel uncomfortable, often look away as if too much energy is drawn from me just by the person talking to me. It is not exactly shyness, it is more discomfort and unease.
I thought I might mention that since it is part of my personality. I have always been shy in groups since childhood.
the brown spots on my skin really bother me, not what they look like now, but what the result of them might be. why do I have so many spots, all in the last 2 years or so?
The tendency of my right toes to cramp are also better, and I am glad about that.

My mood is relatively calm, I keep centered most of the day, only once in the last month I felt like I am frustrated doing the housewifely chores and picking up after my children, (my feelings are justified if they leave things around) but what I strive for is to tell them without anger-because doing so evidences all my baggage- I am aware of how I talk to my children, at least I like to be aware.
My state of mind has some fear in it. Fear about my health, the brown spots on my hands, the itchy blotches on my face, what are those things? Should I go on a fast, and will this clear them? These thoughts are going around in my head. The issue with my joints is known to me and does not bother me so much, but cafe au lait spots on the skin may be an indication of something more serious? I don't know how to approach this. And I have not gone to the doctor because I dont agree with their treatments anyway.
Should I take Carcinosinum?
the above sums up my state of mind, and my fears.
thank you again,

Indications of Nat-m, Phos and Sepia are always a good starting point for Carcinosin. Cafe-au-lait spots are a very strong indication of it.
So, this bloating of the stomach has never happened in the past ? Only started after the Phosphorus ?

Hello Sameer,
If it was there before, it must have not been so noticeable or I would have been more aware of it. It has been lately that this particular symptom has been more pronounced, particularly right after Phosphorus 30C, yet it has eased up a bit in the last week or so.
Re: the spots, they have been forming in the last couple of years, and I am not seeing a lessening of them at all, actually it is the opposite, they are incresing.
I am not trying to diagnose myself here, I do read up on Homeopathy and try to assess my symptoms, and Carcinosinum fits quite a few of my symptoms: love of the sea, love of music (I am not musical but it moves me deeply when I hear music), sensitivity for others' welfare, thinking of the other person's feelings over my own needs, (this symptom has eased up in the later years because I have seen the folly of this tendency, so I am making a valiant effort to stop it.)
Cafe au lait spots, love of nature and trees. The one symptom I do not have is love for animals, I care for them but I do not want their fur near me, I am maybe scared of them somewhat. We do not have pets here, we had a rabbit and she lived outside, and even when I loved her so much, I would hold her for a little then quickly send her off.
I have one symptom that is worth mentioning. I have expressed it in the past as 'sluggishness'. It is not really sluggishness, it combines with my physical pain and inability to move fast to make a 'slow' person, but there is an inner tendency to procrastinate for things I know I should be doing today. I may look at a box on the floor, knowing it needs to be picked up and carried out to the recycle, and I may leave it there for days or even weeks. I am taking home study courses to be finished on your own time, and I have this paper due for months now, my tendency is to collect data,read, learn, I keep collecting, and, I have not started writing the actual paper.
It is not exactly laziness or lack of will, it may be that I am not in the here and now, I take my time in doing tasks, or I am not neurotic enough when it comes to tasks. Whatever the reason may be, tasks need to be completed and I am finding that I take my time in that. I have great ideas in what I need to do, but do not always bring those ideas into completion fast enough or not at all.
I have had the chance to live with my mom with a few months over the spring and summer, and this trait came into contrast with her personal habits, she cannot bear to see one glass on the table, whereas my table has many glasses, maybe plates, fruit or whatever, and they may be laying there for hours before they get picked up.
Sometimes I wish disorganization bothered me enough to do something about it.
I will leave all this information with you Sameer, because I analyze myself over and over but do not want to take the final decision on the remedy. You are the expert on that subject and I am grateful that I am able to give you this info.
Thank you so much for all the help,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
The symptoms of bloatedness has eased up considerably, but not quite gone.
How it presents itself is, I feel full quite quickly, as if I need to take in more breath because my abdomen feels somewhat distended.
I do burp quite a bit after eating, that's how I know the symptom is not quite gone yet. This last symptom is not exactly new though, it got really severe in the last few weeks as I described in the previous posts.
My big toe (wanting to cramp) has eased up as well. It still feels more tight than the left toe, as if it is more apt to cramping, but it is still better than one month ago.
the itchy spots on the skin are still there, the spot above the right eyebrow is also getting bigger, like the one on the left side.
This symptom actually really bothers me.
I have forgotten to mention that I feel like eating something sweet after meals or during the day sometimes. It is not a lot, but I do crave something sweet, like a little piece of wafer, or a bite of cake or something.
Mentally I feel quite ok, I would like to be more proactive when it comes to daily chores, I mentioned this at two posts ago. I know what I need to do yet I find I may procrastinate somewhat more than I would like to.
thank you,
Marika

Okay so these days, how are your temperature preferences ?
Any particular times of the day you feel at your best or worst ?
Any particular times of the day you feel at your best or worst ?
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
the best weather for me is a temperate weather, not too cold and not too hot. I can withstand the extreme temperatures but my joints are worst with cold and damp.
If the weather is hot damp, as in mid-summer temperatures, I find I don[t have too much energy, I experience a wilting.
In wet and rainy weather, I do feel my joints more, I also seem to get a 'pressure headache', more prominent on the left side, behind my eyes. It does lift once the dampness goes away.
The best weather for me is dry. I do enjoy the crisp and cold temperatures best when it is dry.
I have noticed that my energy dips in early afternoon time. Example: it may be 11:30 in the morning and I may feel sleepy or low in energy, and aroung 1:00pm I will feel low in energy for sure. Sometimes I may even need to lie down if circumstances permit.
If I have a day where I have done a lot physically,(yard or house work) and my joints have been stressed, I will need to have a very calm day the next day.
But overall, other than the joints, mid day I would say is the lowest time of my day.
Thank you for the chance to explain this,
Marika

It is an extremely close call between Sulph and Silicea.
But, my gut feeling says Sulphur here. So please take 1 dose Sulph 30c and report after 1 week.

Hello Sameer,
It is one week since I took Sulphur 30c. I am trying hard to detect a distinguishable result, a change in any one symptom but I do not think I can find it. I have no differences to report, physically or mentally. All the symptoms are exactly the same.
I am interested to know what you think about this, since I also had thought Sulphur might give me some relief with at least the skin condition, or maybe a hint of relief.
Please advise me. Should I try Silicea now?
Thank you,
Marika

Hmm.. let us try a higher potency before we move on.
Take a dose of 200c, (1 pellet dissolved in 250 ml spring water, and 1 spoon from there is the dose) and report back in 1 week.

I mean 200c of Sulphur
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
I took Sulphur 200C as suggested, and I liked it. I did noticed easier movement, I do get some pain still when I overexert myself but the stiffness is less. this enables me to do more and to walk more freely.
Another improvement I have had in the first 5 days was in the heartburn. (I think it might be coming back, I will keep a watch on that.). It was good to have the heartburn disappear for a while.
I will stay alert for more changes and report them.
Many thanks,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
I may be a little tardy in responding, I have been experiencing symptoms of either cold or flu, and have been waiting for these to pass, but today I woke up with laryngitis, my voice is hoarse and practically gone.
The last few days I have been experiencing dizziness upon rising, I wait it out and it is gone in a few minutes, my throat has been raw and scratchy, sneezing, runny nose, the usual cold and flu symptoms.
But I am not in bed or feeling weak. Today I made some sage tea to help the throat, but I am not sure what to do about the voice loss. I have dry cough which makes the back of the throat more irritated.
Mentally I am ok, experiencing some fears about my children's health, as if something 'might be wrong' without having any basis for it. Just a fear without proof. It's in my mind, but prompted by a friend who lost her daughter to leukemia at age 32, so I have been experiencing her grief, and maybe take on a bit too much. this has been going on for about 2 weeks, so maybe my system is weak.
I am quick to feel other people's feelings like they are my own, I try to work with this but it kind of happens automatically.
My joints are still stiff, better when I rest,and when feeling good I go again.
the heartburn is still there, but has lessened. I am glad about that.
Thank you for your caring,
Sincerely,
Marika

Hmm... this is not a response which points to Sulphur being the correct remedy.
Please take 3 doses of Silica 30c then, where each dose is 1 teaspoon from 250 ml spring water, where 1 pellet has been dissolved.

Hello Sameer,
I am into about 9 days since I took the Silicea 30C. The very next day I had the motivation to clean whatever was untidy around the house, I observed myself wanting to clean and organize.
the cough also started to loosen up, it became softer and not so achey when I had to cough.
Over the next few days I kept coughing, almost gone yesterday, when today I went out in the very windy weather with wet hair and today my nose is stuffed up again. this symptom does not bother me at all. It will pass.
One very wonderful consequence of the Silicea was that -I don't know if you remember I had mentioned that when I sit my tailbone felt very tender, it is as if there was some kind of inflammation at the bottom of my spine. Well, it has improved at least 80%, I feel it still but it is not sore, and that pleases me.
My joints are still stiff when I walk, until I rest for a while, then start again, go and rest, go and rest. This seems to be my pattern.
there is an underlying feeling within me that I will not succeed in anything. I have a great idea, then I get easily discouraged thinking of all the things that can go wrong with my plan.
I think that is pretty much it with me,
sincerely,
marika

Oh, and I forgot to mention something sort of strange that happened yesterday. I had a strange sensation 'as if my head moved to the left, not tilting, but straight, but my physical head had not moved at all. It was as if I had an etheric head that moved. Very weird, maybe it was vertigo of some sort.

Hello Sameer,
I am reporting back after having taken the Silicea 30C for two weeks or more now.
I feel this is a good remedy for me. I have more energy and 'drive' to do more, but my joints are not any more limber. I am willing to wait for good results with my joints.
The ease that I felt re: my tailbone may be leaving, in the last couple of days I have been feeling in again.
Is it possible to have arthritis there, or could it be a coccygeal cyst? I believe the latter requires surgery. We will see how it goes.
Please tell me what to do now.
thank you,
Marika
