Yes, I feel it is an abscess.
No harm in a getting an opinion from an MD, if it keeps bothering you.

When would you want to see it gone or retrieving, and what would the MD recommend that I do?
Should I put ice on it or should I put a solution of apis on it or something to help it to be reabsorbed? Is this a dangerous situation?
How many days should I give it before I go to the doctor? If I chose to go?

Wait for 4-5 days, and then get it checked.
Ice is ok if it gives benefit. No medicinal substance should be applied.

that feels better to me too.
If they give me antibiotics would that be ok at this stage?
I hope by that time it will all be cleared up.

This is the reason I am not going to get it checked now, because if they give them to me and I am under their care I have to take them.
the area is about 8-9 cm diameter and very red and hot.
Do you expect it might surface or might it heal at the level (depth) it is now?
I will wait and see.
I feel that if it happened because of the Calcarea the body knows what to do with it.
thank you for all your help, Sameer

Hi Sameer,
today is 4 days after I wrote to ask about the 'lump'. Well, it is going away slowly-it got bigger and worse, in colour, mass and pain intensity for the next two days and then it started to get less hot so I knew that it was on the way down. This made me feel better and I did not go to the doctor.
Today as I write this post, it is still red, but the throbbing is gone. What remains is a little mass inside, what I can feel like a twisted hard knot (it is the best way I can describe it) it feels closer to the surface, closer to my fingers that what I could feel 4 days ago, so whatever this thing was has come upward. the next day after I wrote the last post the colour on the skin turned somewhat of a mauve-purplish color and that scared me a bit but since the heat of it was decreasing slowly I figured it was a good sign and I was patient with it.
Phew, what an adventure, where do I go from here? Maybe this remedy is quite good for me and it will rock things? We'll see I guess.
thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
I am adding a couple of things-right now there is stinging inside the area so things are still changing in there, and I still walk easier, this has been the best part of change.
But, I have forgotten to mention something that is significant to me. After the birth of my 16 year old, I have had a tenderness behind my bellybutton-I avoid pressing against that area, or if at the sink doing dishes I make sure that area does not touch the counter, etc.
Well, the first day I took the remedy, everything was better immediately, then the activity started the next day, but I have felt a downward movement it seems, of tinges, pains, starting at the upper-left digestive corner, then in my intenstines, little pains here and there, and the final biggie was the appearance of the thing in my leg, but, the point I am trying to make is that the tenderness around my belly button is not there anymore, (knock on wood), at least it does not feel so vulnerable there any more. For me this is great, maybe it left there and moved to the inner thigh, I really hope so.
thank you for hearing my rambling on, Sameer.

Hello Sameer,
I am writing to report that the symptoms of the 'thing' whatever that was has cleared up to 98%, what is left now is a certain small area that feels harder on the inner thigh, the redness is gone, the sense of inflammation is also gone and I do not feel any weight of it when I walk.
I have another symptom to report tonight, even before I started Calcarea,(18 days ago), I would feel a tap on the very top of my head, like a sensation that felt like tap, tap, once in a while.
Now, in the last couple of days it feels like pressure right at the top, as if someone has put a heavy book on my head, and slightly forward. It does not hurt, it might feel slightly stinging, but that's it.
The walking is ok, still get stiff when I stand up for long periods (20-30 min) then I have to sit down to rest and unwind the stiffness.
I just wanted to let you know this is where I am with the latest symptoms.
thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
I am writing because the symptoms from the last dosage have completely dissapeared and I think I am ready for the next/higher dosage, if you think it is the right time.
Discomfort in walking is also coming back, and even slight pain when I have not walked at all as in first thing in the morning.
thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
I am ok, my mind is behaving most of the time, it could be totally calm, it is good 90% of the time.

Overall, what would you say have been the changes compared to before the doses ?

The changes that I experienced right away was an ease in my walking. By that I mean that it did not feel that I had to lift my legs with intention to take my steps. It felt as if I was able to hold my posture instead of having to try so hard to walk across the floor.
My hip and knee joints felt stronger and 'normal'. Lately I have been experiencing a situation where it feels like my hip joints are disconnected and I had to hold them together with great effort. After the doses, even after the first one, I just got up and walked to the kitchen to take the next dose. that was a wonderful relief for me. Now I am starting to feel like I am slipping back to the old again, where I feel pain in the morning even before I start the day.
2) the pain around my bellybutton is gone-I mentioned how I have been careful not to press in that area accidentally, it was always 'vulnerable', now if I even press on purpose, it does not hurt.
3) the episode with the inflammation in my leg is good news to me because if this was somewhere in my abdomen or deeper in my lymph, I don't want it there, I would rather it comes outward.
4) I have been reading on Calcarea and really like the effects of its cure, I think I would benefit from it if you really think it is the right one for me. (especially about self-confidence and strengthening the inner self) I think I need that.

Go ahead and take a dose of 200c then. Just 1 pellet in 500 ml spring water, stir and take a spoon.
Report after 1 week.

Hello Sameer,
I am writing this because this morning I kind of experienced a panic attack, a feeling of weakness, shake-y inside of me, my hands were, and still are to a certain extent, slightly trembling, it is on its way out-
and this is how it started: my mother told me that my aunt is ill, she may have had a stroke, something of the sort, and I totally internalized that and projected as if that was me that was experiencing it.
I was fine before that phone conversation, and I tried very hard to stay focused in the now, tell myself that I am ok, I have to talm myself out of it so I can get my strength back.
this happened about one hour ago and I am still working on it. I need to take deep breaths to gather my energy to myself.
I remember feeling this way you told me to take arsenicum 30, it helped me a lot then. It gave me an inner steadiness. Maybe this is temporary, of course, but is there a combination of calcarea and arsenicum in the materia medica?
I will wait to see this completely go and then I will take the Calcarea 200C?
thank you and sorry for all this,
Marika

Sameer, Hi!
I feel that I need to tell you something. Earlier on today I wrote and recited my symptoms of anxiety and inner trebling, even my left hand was unsteady a bit.
So, this is what I did. I took a vial of Arsenicum 200c, put the vial in my pants pocket, and left it there. I did not take any of the remedy inside, only placed it in my pocket.
Within 5 minutes or so, I started to feel better, as the time went on, now it is about 3 hours later, all those symptoms are almost gone. You could say it is in my mind, but I wanted to tell you that I started feeling this positive effect almost instantly.
I am at the local public library(my computer is not working for now) and will be able to come here again on Tuesday, Nov. 29th. I will check to see if you have commented on this at all before I take the Calcarea 200C.
thank you,
M

Hmm...this is effect from keeping the remedy in your pocket is more psychological than anything else.
This panic attack, and weakness/trembling has happened in the past as well, so it might be the remedy bringing back those symptoms temporarily.
I think we can still give Calc 200c a go, once it has been about 3 weeks from the 30c doses.

Hello Sameer,
I am reporting 3 weeks after I took the Calcarea 200C, and this is what I have experienced:
a) right before I took the 200C, I was having very bothersome spasms or something of the sort in my stomach or diaphragm, I had mentioned this particular symptom before, but, on the 10th day or so of taking the 30C, it had intensified to the point where I was not able to even drink water, let alone eat anything without having these scary spasms in my abdominal area. Well, as soon as I took the 200, almost the next day this particular symptom starting lessening, leaving, and today, 3 weeks later I get only a faint reminder of it, even though I still get it-it has not gone entirely.
b) In the past I have had 'benign positional vertigo' where I would not be able to turn my head to the side without the room spinning. After I took the 200, within about two weeks, I had a memory of that, not exactly the vertigo but the pain on the back of the scalp where the inner ear bone would be hurt alot, but felt better with pressure, and I felt a little nauseous with that and it went away within two days.
c) I did not get a relief in joint pain this time but the biggest benefit for me was that this abdominal contraction has eased up considerably because it was very scary while it was happening.
d) I have written before that I do get heartburn, and this time I have actually felt a relief in that symptom too, It is not entirely gone of course, but a bit of an easing up is very welcome.
e) In the last few days I am feeling unworthy. Thoughts that I have not succeeded in anything come to my head and my confidence in myself is shaky too. I feel kind of a failure in terms of wordly success-some sort of a feeling of beating down on myself. this is the last two days.
I should mention that the very next day of taking the 200C I took on a task that I knew I had to do but was procrastinating on it, the enthusiasm lasted for about 4 days, I got quite a bit done, then I started slumping again, of course other things getting in the way, but it was good that I tackled something that before overwhelmed me.
I believe these are the changes that happened this time around and I am looking forward to more goodness.
thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
here I am, one week later and I must report that I have started to get, in the last few days some of the symptoms that had somewhat improved with the 200C dose. and those are: panick attacks that something is wrong with my health, so that thought brings on symptoms of ill physical health such as increased heart rate, I feel as if I have a lump in my throat, I get shivery that is unrelated to temperature, I feel as if I have more blood in my head but I am not flushed, perhaps as if I need to take in more air, it helps a lot if I get away from people and be on my own, some of these symptoms start when I am with people and they are talking to me it can be people that I know, not necessarily strangers, I feel a panick coming on if someone is talking to me for a while, like 10 minutes straight, sometimes it feels as if they look right though me and I am not solid. I feel sometimes like I have no boundaries and I am very large that is why I need to get away and need to go by myself.
Some of these symptoms I used to feel years ago when I was having menopausal symptoms more frequently and they resemble hot flashes but do not necessarily have to be hot flashes, just a lot of panick.
In the last couple of days I am having them again, they are anxiety complaints and they may just leave but come back the next day or even the next week.
I have also been having those spasms in my abdomen again soon after I eat, so I eat very small amounts of food trying to avoid getting them because they are scary.
The last week has been busy with Holiday activities so I have not had the same time I need alone, it seems that I do better alone,(of course it is easier when I am not around people, even if those people are all family) I really like having all my children here, it has been so good, but if I get panicky it takes more out of me to look normal especially durng an anxiety attack.
IN the last post I mentioned something about feeling unworthy and you asked me to explain. I have had my daughter come back from her volunteer mission and when she may be talking about other families and how they do things or when she expresses her views I had a few days when I felt 'less than', it had nothing to do with others, just my life, I have been a single parent most of the time, and I have not given my children material comforts-they never complain but there is inside of me this thought, if I had done things differently, perhaps made different decisions how might we have a different life? I do get into a sadness a bit, it does not last long however and I try to bring myself back to the present moment and be in the now.
Honestly, the most important thing for me is to feel well. If I do not feel well I panick even more and I get more symptoms. I do isolate myself from too much social activity, the truth is I do not feel I need to be around people all the time and the other half of the truth is I find that I get overwhelmed around people for the reasons I explained above: I feel like my energy gets all sucked out of me when I am around people. I get my energy from inside-from being by myself, or I should say I recharge when alone, and then I can be with people for a bit again. Tomorrow I have friends coming over for a few hours, I hope I can manage being in crowd for that long, I am sure it will be ok.
I think that is the best way that I can explain it. I wonder sometimes if I am agoraphobic? I certainly never seek crowds or gatherings and when I am in a gathering it is good, but I look forward to being alone again.
thank you,
Marika

Okay, time to go back to Natrum Mur again.
Please procure the next LM potency of whatever you last took. (e.g. if you took LM2 last, procure LM3 and LM4)

Hello Sameer,
In 2009-o7-23 or around that time, I took Nat Mur 1m.
Should I order LM1 or should I take a 10m dose of Nat mur?
