The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Shortness of breath, heart palpitations
Oddly enough I am nervous to post about myself - posting about my kids was just fine. I have struggled with not so great health since about age 13 - I am 33 now. It started with poor digestion of fats, epstein barr diagnosis (extreme fatigue), and panic attacks at age 18. I was vaccinated until age 16. I have been treated with pulsatilla, ignatia and possibly others - although none recently. Currently my most acute symtom is difficulty breathing. Under any stress and sometimes for no apparant reason my lungs just don't feel cooridanted enough to expand properly - leaving me feeling unsatisfied with the breath - this can make me feel panic. I am 5' 6' and 154 lbs. I struggle with being overweight despite great efforts. I did recently lose 20 lbs. by calorie restriction. I eat very healthy - lots of vegetables and little meat. Fish is the best protein for me. I don't digest pork fat and any fat is touchy - it can make me nauseaus. My tongue is typically swollen with scalloped edges, a bit pale. I can gain and lose 2-5 lbs. on a daily bases - water weight. I am a very creative, artistic person. I can be hyper focused if something creative is in my brain. On the flip side I have GREAT difficulty sticking to a routine or schedule - although I know it would benefit my kids. I feel trapped and afraid I can't keep a schedule going. My energy level is very unpredictable. SOmetimes I am go go go and decluttering my house and can keep it all together and then other times I feel very overwhelmed, can't focus on anything, depressed, irritable. I also drink ALOT of water - at least a gallon a day. Anytime I pick it up I can drink ALOT. I have to drink in the middle of the night or my bladder will burn. I don't have any strong cravings for food - usually. The one thing is sweets. If I start I have a hard time stopping (I wonder if alcoholism in my genes is part of this). I stop because of knowing that the sweets, or alcohol isn't good for me - not because I am satisfied. I would be sick before satisfied. I run 2 -3 miles 4-5 times a week. I love to sweat and come home and shower - I think it is really good for me. My lungs interfere with this. Oddly if I put my hands on my hip bones I recently discovered it will usually help me breath - I think it transfers stuck energy to the lower half of my body. I also usually get a headache as my menstruation ends. This headache pounds when I urinate and my eyes are sensitive and neck/shoulder tense. The week before my period I have little patience (usually extremely patient person). I feel best the week following menstruation - energetic and focused. So - should I be satisfied with this measure of health - or could I be better. Sad to say I am healthier now than I have been in a long time.bohomama4 on 2009-06-23

OH - the heart symptoms are sometimes with moderate exercise, sometimes stress or nervousness. It feels like my heart wobbles, or flips. Disconcerting. It seems worse if my arms are above my head. Thanks so much for your time and knowledge.

I can't beleive how nervous I am to have put this up. Part of me is nervous to try anything new. I have had strong detox reactions (vomiting, headaches) in the past and am nervous. I am also nervous to try new things in life - if my husband didn't nudge me I would probably always stay home or go out only for the normal everyday things. I wouldn't try new things - although I almost always enjoy them. I hate to feel on the spot - like in an uncrowded restaurant.

I also have psoriasis on my elbows and knees. It is worse on my elbows. Eating tuna everyday greatly improved it - but it's still there. It came back during my last pregnancy.

Please talk about your behavior with the family and people outside. How affectionate are you ? Also talk about your anger and fears a bit more. Any negative feelings like envy or jealousy or bitter feelings towards anyone should be mentioned as well.
So, you feel better mentally from exercise ?

I unfortunately am not very affectionate. I love deeply but showing it doesn't come naturally. I am a pit bull of a friend - stick through anything - unless you hurt me. I don't put myself at risk with people I can't trust. I feel very confused trying to represent my emotions to you. I fear rejection, being caught off guard. I am good under stress - short term. I problem solve and creative think excellently and then get exhausted from it. When exhausted from stress I can't stand noise. Sounds will make me flinch. I feel a deep sadness that my dad doesn't and hasn't ever treated me as important. He may not even look my way as he drives by and that hurts my feelings. Sometimes this is anger towards him - mostly sadness. The only thing I can think of for jealousy is when I see other girls that have their mothers living near them - and it makes me miss mine. She and my sister live a few hours away and it can make me feel isolated and alone. I don't like to ask anyone for help and put them out. I feel like I would be a burden. I tend to boss and manage my kids and need to remind myself to show affection and enjoy them. I have a hard time knowing when I have done enough and usually set impossible standards for myself and then feel like a failure for not measuring up.
I also realized that the foods I crave are strong flavors, strong coffee, dark chocolate, strong mustard. My brain doesn't remember numbers either. I am a very visual person. Being creative refreshes me - if I take the time. I am crying after writing this!!!

As for the excercise - I do tend to find sollutions to problems or have good ideas while running. It refreshes me and I think it keeps me in a forward progression - not stagnant.

You really stirred the emotional pot with those questions. Now I have bits and peices of emotions flying through my brain. It's 11:30 p.m. and I can't sleep. I hope I'm giving you a clear representation and don't know what you need to know!!! There are strong emotions where my dad is concerned. He is an alcoholic, never spent time with us and made it clear I was not his favorite. He also would criticize my weight - although I wasn't overweight then. He wanted to control me and I never let on that he did. I still do that in life - I can portrait myself as very put together, confident, do anything I put my mind to and then I will crash exhausted for a few days. Please direct me with questions if you need more info. THanks

1. No
2. I have olive skin, dark hair, some moles, tiny dark red spots like broken vessels on upper arms.
3. Very emotional, yes empathetic unless I think it is incompetance. I have to feel the person is doing everything they possibly could for themselves - because that is what I would do!!
4. I am an independant thinker but like to be around my family and close friends. Obstinate - can be if I feel strongely, VERY sensitive to reprimand.
5. I am a pianist and I love it - although I don't make time to play (I do have 4 kids at home always!) I play music while cooking and dance and sing to it. Unless overly stressed - like tonight - then I can't handle any sounds.
6. My intellectual thought ability varies. From very clear and profound to jumbled and forgetful.
7. The loss I feel is of not haveing a loving supportive father.
8. I am a perfectionist of myself and expect alot of people. I can't seem to keep my home tidy. It is clean but not tidy. I love it when it is all picked up but just can't seem to do everything. This is a very difficult area for me. I beat myself up about it but can't seem to nail down a routine that would help.
9. Consolation can help if I feel it's genuine and from someone I respect other times it doesn't soak in.
10. No head sweats
11. NO
12. I have an excellent eye for detail and beauty. Have always loved fashion and as a photographer can place people in flattering poses and angles.
13. Extremely creative, I sew, watercolor paint, play piano, take photographs, home school my kids, cook without recipes,
14. My dad would suddenly want to control certain aspects of life - while most of the time being completely uninvolved.
15. no
16. I read natural healing type information and can retain and recall it very well.
17. no

Please procure CARCINOSIN 30c and 200c from Helios UK, and talk to me when you have the remedy with you.
You can order oral liquid in 5 ml size.

My mom mailed the remedy and I will have it in the morning. What are my directions? Incidentaly - I have another sister who is ALOT like me - 2 years younger and same parents. If 2/3 sisters need this remedy are the chance great that the 3rd does as well?
bohomama4 last decade
Please dissolve 2 drops of CARC 30c in 250 ml spring water, and take a teaspoon from there 3 times spaced by 1 hour.
Make sure nothing enters the mouth 1 hr before and 1 hr after dosage.
After this no more doses, report in 10 days.
I cannot say about the other sister, will have to talk to her to find out.

Will do. My other sister just posted under 'please help with headaches and acne' username mollymchenry.

Is it ok to drink water between dosing? Also is the usual no eating coffee, chocolate, noessential oils on skin etc. applicable? Or are some remedies different - and for how long?
bohomama4 last decade
I did the doses last night and it really relaxed me. I felt deflated and tired. It seems to have made my sciatic pain go away. I also was warm. I couldn't stand the hot bath I normally love. And felt warm all night although the house was a comfortable temperature.

Now yesterday and today extreme bone aching from the waist down. Terrible when I'm sleeping better with light movement. Just thought you might find it interesting.
bohomama4 last decade
Would it be highly disruptive to take some asparin or ibuprofen? I hurt really badly in my bones and joints. I am willing to push through but it would be great to be able to take the pain away. I am also having different stools. They are oily, pasty - weird!!

It has been 10 days. The body aches lasted 4 days followed by very stiff low back. Then I had anger emotions about my dad and a few days later sadness - which is where I still am. I have better control over sweets and don't crave as much water. I feel relaxed inside. I currently have a hormone triggered headache.
