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?
 
Marika last decade
Please order LM1 and LM2 in 30 ml bottles oral liquid, and report back when you have the remedies.

Hello Sameer,
IN the last few days, I have been feeling: anger, resentment, bitterness sometimes more sometimes less, toward the father of my children, because he called here during the holidays, asking to meet up with the kids and wanting to be friendly with them, which he has a right to, but my sentiment is: well, now that they are all grown up he wants to hang out with them. All of it is what it is, but my feelings of 'I have raised them all by myself, where were you when they were needing care all these years?' These are thoughts and feelings, I have not expessed these to him neither do I communicate at all, I only wanted to write that these feelings are there; I do not have the Nat Mur yet, I will write when I do,

I also was thinking that I got such good results from the Calcarea, I hope it is the right thing to switch to Nat Mur, all the info about me keeping to myself is still correct, + the late anger, I guess I am holding on to the past, I am having a hard time forgetting it (partially because he acts as if all of it is totally normal without him having taken his responsibility as a father.)
How I really feel is that I have put in so many years into raising children it can not change now, but I cant help but feel this way, especially when I worry about my health, etc.

thank you,
Marika

Nat-m is the right step given your current state.

Hello Sameer,
I am writing to report an incident I experienced yesterday, it was a big panick attack-I was in the store with my daughter, casually talking with this lady I did not even know and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to pass out but the sensation was not a physical reason, I just needed some air, I left immediately, went outside took some deep breaths, got in the car and kept breathing, started sobbing no reason except if anything would be a reason, I am experiencing financial strain lately and perhaps this was a background noise in my mind but not at that moment exactly. I kept crying, kept talking myself out of it-I felt like I was having a nervous breakdown which lasted only about 20 minutes then I calmed down.
I feel most comfortable at home, at least I feel most secure there, but even at home I am finding I need to take deep breaths so as to avert the same from happening.
I have not received my Nat Mur LM yet, but I have some nat mur tissue salts 6x, would it mess things up if I took some of that in the time being?

I would appreciate your response, thank you,
Marika

Hi Sameer,
I want to add another symptom which I am experiencing in the last week or so, whatever I eat makes me feel very bloated, I need to burp a lot to release gas, and even after the whole night, this morning I was still burping and I did not have much to eat last night. It was as if I cannot digest the food at all, my upper gastro system feels bloated, so I am not eating much, very small amounts at a time.
 
Marika last decade
Sorry for the late reply, I was travelling. So how do you feel now ? Did you receive the LM remedies yet ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer,
it's ok, thank you for answering, for a while there I did say to myself: 'Oh no, what am I going to do now?
I have not received the remedies yet but they should be coming soon, I am hopeful it will help me.
Some symptoms have improved: the stomach gas is a bit better even though still there, the crying still there but less often, and the characteristic sensation in the solar plexus is less but still there. I have identified it as: it feels as if someone punched me in the solar plexus and I got winded. That's how it feels I need to keep breathing slowly and 'go with it' until it subsides.
the episode I described last week is a bit more clear now, it is as if my solar plexus opened up and all my suppressed emotions wanted to come out all at once without me being able to keep a lid. The emotion was primarily sadness, not anger and because I could not keep any control of it all, plus I was quite shaky I felt desperate and even hopeless.

Today that picture is 50% less, but I cannot say it will not return and that gives me anxiety. I do feel better at home, more insecure outside and not comfortable with people either.
Another symptom which disturbs me is I have a 'foggy brain'. I have gotten benign positional vertigo before, a virus of the inner ear and nothing can be done about it-one has to wait it out- this dizziness or foginess that I feel in my head I kind of recognize it as the pre condition to the vertigo that I had twice before, but it has not manifested or it may not. this gives me anxiety because I have to be able to drive my kids here and there,
my children worried last week and that also makes me uncomfortable, I dont like them worrying about me.

When I get the Nat Mur LM1 should I take one dose? I am looking forward to feeling well and more inwardly stable.
thank you,
Marika
 
Marika last decade
Yes, you can take 1 dose a day for 3 days.

Starting second dose, hit the LM1 remedy bottle 7 times before dose.

Dose is 3 drops in 250 ml water, stir, and 1 teaspoon from there.

If symptoms worsen or 'improve drastically', stop dosing.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
I am writing to ask you: I took the LM 1 two nights ago, last night I took one teaspoon successed, I thought I was better this morning, at least I did not feel the sensation in the abdomen early in the morning when I wake up,
right now it is late afternoon and I am getting the beginning of anxiety coming, some sort of panick, it helps when I stick my head out the door to breathe in cold air or at least to be outside a bit.

I think I might not take the 3rd dose in case it might get worse because I am not able to endure the anxiety it is kind of freightening, I do get a feeling like my head is empty of foggy, hard to describe but my head does not feel normal, I have to watch that I am steady on my feet (some sort of vertigo) but there is no spinning.
I wonder if it is coming from my inner ear again? Hard to tell.

I also have a feeling that the stomach or diaphragm contractions may start again, it kind of feels like it. When I eat nothing it is better. Anything in the stomach feels too vulnerable a situation.

I will wait it out but if you have any thoughts I would appreciated it. Thank you,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
I took two doses of the Nat Mur LM1 on the 17th of January, as I wrote on the previou post, I have had some symptoms of panick and anxiety. Since then, these have subsided quite a bit, I still have a bit of the diaphragm contractions, worse after eating, and the brain foginess/vertigo are a bit better too.

I am experiencing another strange symptom however, on the right leg (femoral muscle) and it sometimes extends to the inner part of the thigh. It is worse when I walk, in fact if I walk it is almost impossible to lift my leg, I get into the car by pulling my pants to lift my leg up. It is not an excruciating pain, it feels like there is a knot from too much exercise but I know I did not exercise excessively, plus, the left muscle would hurt too. I try to stretch it as much as I can-it only gives temporary relief.

Emotionally I am having a down time, it has been going on for quite a while now, it is a sense of resignation, I dont try too hard to do anything, I am not too interested in much, basically I go through the day doing the daily routine, early on this week I was wondering if I am actually depressed. Usually I know myself to be enthusiastic, perhaps overly so, joyful, etc but lately I feel flat and not giving too much attention, maybe even whining about life. Yet, no matter what I feel, I never go to change my mood with alcohol or anything else for that matter. (My kids made that observation about me and told me), it is true, that's because I dislike the taste of alcohol.


I have some days when I cry when I am alone, not when the kids are here. And, I noticed last week that old hurts come in my memory of people who said something that has hurt my feelings and I did not say anything back. In other words I played movies of the past in my mind, re-experiencing feelings and being angry in the present. Also some times I have feelings of self pity, woe me, I feel quite alone yet I do not seek to mingle, I actually enjoy my alone time, if it was not abnormal to be completely unsocial I would not feel like anything is wrong with it. Very strange.

I did an online questionnaire a while ago for one's constitutional remedy, and Lycopodium was first, Pulsatilla second and Nat Mur third.
I dont remember the questions much except for: I always sleep on the right, I dislike carbonated drinks, I love being outside in the fresh air but I prefer my head to be covered (protection from wind) I dislike cold drinks and food, prefer warm food.
I wrote too much, sorry, it may help to recommend to me something, I want to feel better, more joyful inside and of course to see this pain on my leg go away.

thank you so much,
Marika

Hi Marika,

Sorry for missing your post. Will analyze this and get back to you tomorrow.

Please expand more on the following:

'my children worried last week and that also makes me uncomfortable, I dont like them worrying about me. '

When you took the 2 doses of LM1 (one per day), did you feel any improvements for some time after that ?

When you say, you are feeling emotionally flat, is it an indifference that you are talking about ?

Can you please talk more about the diaphragm contractions ?

What else can you tell me about yourself that will help me understand the state you are in better ?

What is the panic and anxiety about ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer, thank you , I will answer the questions.

'my children worried last week and that also makes me uncomfortable, I dont like them worrying about me.

When I had that episode in the car my daughter was with me and I could see that she was concerned about me-it must be scary when your parent(and the only one who is there for you) is not well. she stayed very calm through it all, yet I know that they get concerned and I want to be well. I do not like being ill, unwell, incapable and all those things. And I dont like for my children to think that they have to take care of me in any way, I am too young for that. I feel it is not their job to make sure that I am fine,they need to start their own life. When I am not well, as on that day when I was practically falling apart my daughter was certainly concerned.
I do not particularly like attention, even when I am sick. For example I never tell my mother anything about anything so she does not worry about me. I have been doing this all my life not just now. I protect her, my kids from feeling worried about me, if things are not so good. Plus, I have a secretive side to me. I dont talk about myself, my projects until the project is done. And, I do not like people talking about me, fussing over me, being concerned about me, etc. I avoid attention at all costs because it makes me uncomfortable.

2)
When you took the 2 doses of LM1 (one per day), did you feel any improvements for some time after that ?

yes, I did improve, not the same day but the days following and, up to today, I may say that I do feel better, the contractions have definitely improved.

3)When you say, you are feeling emotionally flat, is it an indifference that you are talking about ?

yes, it is an indifference, you got it. Usually I am quite enthusiastic, optimistic, not complaining, accepting, etc. Lately, I have not been feeling joy inside, I do feel flat, as if tomorrow will be the same as today. Mind you, I know in my head it is up to me to create everything in my life, but lately I have been feeling incapable of that, or
that it is not up to me-as if I have no purpose.

4)you please talk more about the diaphragm contractions ?

This is a state as if I have been punched in the stomach-that's where I feel it in the upper abdomen. It is not in my chest area, I take deep breaths to go with it and relax the abdomen, wait it out. I should say here that it has not completely gone, but this has decreased quite a bit ( I hope anyway). It feels like there is 'something inside my stomach that takes up space' and I need to breathe deeper. I call it anxiety because the feeling of something inside my abdomen is not there all the time.
Even before I get out of bed in the morning I feel that feeling, or it's worse after I eat so I eat small amounts to help it. or, if I think of something that brings on the panic, ie my mother being ill and not been able to go there to take care of her, bills accumulating and the money is not there, normal life situations that could be handled with more ease, calm or with more tolerance. there, I think I got it. My level of stress tolerance has decreased, Or I should say that I am not as capable of handling my normal stresses. Maybe my adrenals are weak or who knows? I dont want to be such a weakling, I value inner strength and boyancy maybe that is why I am suffering inside-I think of myself as one who could handle life with grace.
But I do want to say that the contractions have definitely decrease by much since Nat Mur LM1.

5What else can you tell me about yourself that will help me understand the state you are in better ?

I want to elaborate on being uncomfortable with attention focused toward me. I do enjoy praise if someone wants to pay me a compliment, but it always surprises me: I think to myself 'Oh, they actually thought about me, that's nice.'

Another interesting thing I am noticing more and more lately is: when I am talking with someone for more than a couple of minutes I look away because I feel as if their energy goes right through me- and it's uncomfortable so I look away.

If I am speaking in a group, I hurry to finish quickly because I panick and lose track of my thoughts-when I was young I was shy, I am wondering if this is the same symptom I had then but has evolved?

I would like to have more confidence out there in the world, I do not exactly feel like I have anything to contribute, like there is not a place for me 'out there' and I mean in a professional way, I do have my children and friends, we share lots of love together
yet out in the world I feel redundant.

Oh my God, i have talked your ears off, I am sorry, hopefully this will help and of course thank you again for taking all this time.

Hi Marika,

Please take a dose of Nat-m LM2.

Dissolve 2 drops in 250 ml spring water, stir and take a spoon.

Report after 2 days please.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
In the last couple of days I am not having the symptoms, should I just take it or should I wait until my symptom(s) is more pronounced?
 
Marika last decade
Take it anyways and report back in 2 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
I didn't think that two days was enough time to notice any changes but I have had a chance to observe the following, much to my surprise:

The same night I that I took the LM2, my daughter was up late and we started talking about different issues. My turn came to offer my opinion or point of view, and, later I noticed that while I was talking to her, I was expressing myself more clearly, I did not avoid her glance much, I did not feel so confused in my brain trying to find my words, and I just had an easier time conversing-I felt more grounded, more at home with myself.
Also, the sensation that I had described on the last post,'I feel like I move to the side', I know it's hard to explain this, but it was a strange sensation as if I would move slightly to the side of myself.
In the last couple of days this did not happen. I am soooo glad for this, because it was getting very uncomfortable, especially since I am not even able to describe it accurately, it is so subtle and uncommon.

I also feel a bit happier, like more willing to participate, and I have an easier time moving as if my step is a bit lighter.
All in all, I am so thankful, I really hope these positive changes stay with me. there is no better state than wellness.
Much gratitude,
Marika
 
Marika last decade
Ok, please take a dose of Nat-m LM2 once every 4 days. (which means another dose in about a day from now when it is 4 days from last dose) Dosing procedure for future doses below.

Hit the LM2 bottle 8 times hard on your paln, then take out 2 drops in 250 ml spring water, stir and take a spoon.

Stop dosing if any dose causes aggravation.

Report after 2-3 more doses.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
I have taken 3 altogether doses of Nat Mur LM2, the last one last night, and, I can say that I do feel better, my abdominal spasms have decreased, my head feels more clear, not foggy.

Today however, I was a bit too sharp in my words with my kids, something which I regretted later and felt guilty about, but it brought somewhat of a healing because they also saw that I have week moments too, as a parent. For me the incident brought a sense of 'I am a person sometimes, I am not always a mom careful of what I say to my children' so maybe it was a positive thing.

Should I take another dose after 4 days?
Thank you,
Marika
 
Marika last decade
Yes, please take another dose after 4 days, with 8 hits.

Please order LM3 and LM4 as well.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
today is the 5th day after I took my last Nat Mur LM2 dose(8th march). Today I am noticing that my spirits are somewhat down, I may be returning to a gloomier mood.

I have noticed that my head is better-I feel focused, I dont get that sensation of movement when I look at someone for a while (as in a conversation), I felt better mentally-happier and more optimistic for sure.
My joints are better too, I do have the ability to walk easier, but the strange muscle pain on the right thigh is still there, it actually prevents me from walking more than the joint pain. I am not sure what that is, with rest it subsides, but as soon as I walk it flares up again as if it is inflamed, and feels like it wants to cramp.

The best positive result that I am having is the stability of my head (brain), and of course my mood.
I have not received the LM3 yet, can I take another LM2 after 8 hits or should I wait?
thank you,
Marika
 
Marika last decade
Take another one with Nat-m LM2 after 8 hits. You can dose once every 4 days till LM3 arrives.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hello Sameer,
I now have the LM3, and I last took the LM2 dose on Saturday March 17. The next dose would be tomorrow, should I go ahead and take one dose of the Nat Mur LM3?
 
Marika last decade
How are you feeling now ?
