very worried - knee pain at night
I feel like crying. Not only do I have dental problems (one of my root canals got infected + I have to have a bridge build in to replace my 2 missing teeth), I feel quite low mentally (the expenses that will follow dental treatments and the realization of just how naive I was to neglect my two teeth gap that led me to all bigger problems... I feel guilty and angry with myself, but also very worried as looks like retreating root canals don't exactly provide much of guaranty that that will be it), but now i also have a knee that gives me excruciating pain at night.Ever since my tooth infection a couple of weeks ago, I've been looking for some info about root canals and found enough scary stories about how actually important a good treatment is, but also all the health problems that infected canals potentially bring. I'm feeling lost at what's the right thing to do. Had a course of antibiotics (finished yesterday), although I would have preferred to stick to homeopathy I just don't have any trustful homeopath to ask for help (my homeopath that i used to see for over a year left me doubt her honesty (or more the knowledge really), that's also one of the things - I find it hard to trust natural therapists honesty as I'm not convinced if their intentions are truly to help or they help with the thought that the whole thing can be stretched a bit so it's more income for them... mostly it's not the case, but I still wonder.). At the moment am feeling lost what's the next right thing to do as I would love to avoid the extraction of my tooth but also see that even seeing a specialist who would retreat the canals does not guaranty any long term improvement (and that's after spending lots of money I can't really afford)
So my knee. I've had some mild discomfort in my right knee that would come and go without causing me too much trouble ever since some clicking in it during a walk down the hill (about 1o years ago). This time the mild discomfort appeared last week and during the day it's not so much noticeable, but 3 nights ago, I woke up in early morning hours with strong tearing pain just above the knee cap that would not get relieved by trying to change the position of the leg or by moving, massaging it. The pain eventually died out, but I've no idea what helped.
A couple of nights ago the same. I felt some discomfort by walking up the stairs, but also not always. Sitting with legs bend also would aggravate mild pain in my right knee, stretching it and resting it seemed to help. Yesterday I fell on the ground as I was carrying my son. I felt my left calf getting twisted a bit and went on my knees, without getting hurt too much. Had a minor scratch on the right knee (it's not too deep, I took arnica 30 straight away). The following night pain in my knee got much much worse. The scary bit was that I woke up just an hour after going to bed with this what i can describe as tearing pain (reminded me of a bad bad leg muscle cramp) that really scared me as I could not find a pose that would bring some relieve. I panicked, felt I'm not coping with the pain at all, my thoughts were flying from what is happening, why, what else is going wrong with me, to what to do, who is gonna help me, my teeth... my kids, I don't want to die, what's the way out - suicide... I felt really cold, was shaking and trembling. At last got up and pain eventually subsided. Took arsenicum alb 30 and went back to sleep constntly thinking if the pain is coming back.
Had to get up 3 more times. It looks like walking is the only thing that helps for the pain to go away. I also kept leg outside the duvet thinking maybe the heat of the bed aggravates it.
Now, in the morning I feel not just the knee, it's mild pain radiating up and down my right leg bone. Find it hard to find comfortable knee position, it feels as if I need to stretch it, but after a while it hurts too.
I'm going to see gp in a couple of hours. I'm not after painkillers, just want to know what could possibly be happening so my mind can rest while I find ways to help myself. Am feeling desperate to find the balance and a way out of this whole thing. I want to get better (mentally and physically) and don't doubt I'll, but need some guidance. Please....

Rhus Tox 30c thrice a day at a gap of 4 hours for 3 days.
♡ kadwa last decade
Today is the third day I'm taking Rhus Tox 30 but so far no change with my knee. Mentally I'm far better. No fear, no confusion. I feel good about myself and am going to see a good dental specialist, so am relaxed and feeling positive.
The knee pain is the same. Worse after my leg has been in one position (sitting, lying). Always better for moving.
My doctor thinks it might be inflammation under knee cap. I've been applying some natural compresses (green clay, quark and salt, honey with cinnamon) to help with the possible inflammation but so far it does not make any noticeable difference.

I'm female, 34
1. Worrying about my own health and my family is my main suffering. Physically I have a right knee pain for the last week and a half. At the beginning it was only mild discomfort by having to walk up or down the stairs, gradually it started to hurt when the knee is kept still in one position for a longer time (the pain is strong and tearing, like strong muscle cramp relieved by walking). It's worse at night.
2. I just had gum infection (upper left side), that spread to the root canals. That's when my knee pain slowly started. I tend to have quite painful ovaries and whole lower abdominal becomes sensitive and sore before and during ovulation. I used to have lots of left sided headaches, now not so often, but still only on the left side of my head.
Sometimes palpitations. I have varicose veins, especially on the right calf. At the moment it does not cause any problems. I also noticed, my right leg is not as flexible as the left one (I understand it's normal). I do yoga and sometimes after longer period in lotus pose - bone in the right leg between the ankle and knee hurts a bit as if it's been forced too much?
3.I worry about my health too much. If i get unwell in any way I often get upset. Irritable, sometimes angry with myself (that I do not look after myself properly in a first place and then it all ends in spending money as I believe in natural/alternative medicine I often see specialist regarding what sort of help I think would help me). I like to know what to do in case of illness. Minor things like cold or cough do not frighten me at all. If it's something new or hard to diagnose - my thoughts tend to wonder around and I do fear physical pain and dying (mainly because I have two little children and wish I could stick around for as long as to be there for them).
4. Fear. Of pain, suffering, not coping with it, dying. I don't want my children to notice those fears as I dread to pass it on to them, consciously or unconsciously.
5. It started 9 years ago. Back then I did not know I'm experiencing panic attacks but 2 years latter I was officially diagnosed as I had one massive one that scared my whole being. At the very beginning there were lots of question marks as nobody explained to me what's going on, what are panic attacks and why one has to expirience them, more importantly how to go back to your normal self without usual antidepressants or any other strong medicaments that I was very determined to avoid. It took me 1 year to get better again. I had phobias, of leaving the house, being on my own, fearing for my health, my child who was with me on daily basis, feared to loos my mind, control... I thought I'll have a nervous breakdown. I went through so many alternative therapies (no homeopathy though). But it was the physical and mental pain that really left the scar.
I still get panic attacks (very rarely though), but I know how to control myself, with breathing, changing thoughts. They do not frighten or scar me anymore. But physical or mental suffer still can get me.
6. Evening and nighttime. Nighttime always was and still is the worst time. My fears tend to be bigger, thoughts more sensitive and quite often I don't like being on my own when it's dark.
7. Fear aggravates. Not knowing what to do and how to improve given situation. i need to feel in control of myself, my life, my health. Also guilt often makes things worse. Knowing the solution or direction towards it, would it be an illness or anything else, makes it all easier. Knowing there will be help helps too.
8. Menses, or more less one week before them makes me moody. More irritable. Not always though.
9. I like fresh air, definitely. Hot stuffy rooms make me feel worse. Although I also like worm days, but with wind. Not so fond of cold. I'm always the one who puts more layers on as I often feel cold when nobody else does. Dry or humid - hm. I can stand both, but maybe I would choose dry as a better option.
10. Sometimes:
Nervous - i don't like flying or going on motorway by car. We had a car accident 3,5 years ago, my husband drove into another car. Nothing serious happened to any of us (my youngest was just 4 months at the time) but the car was wrecked beyond repairing and I realized how we can not take things for granted. I see life as very fragile thing now.
Suspicious. I don't trust people very easily. Especially when it comes to natural therapists as it's often big money and you can never know if they are honestly doing their best to help you or they help to the extend that you'll be back for more. We never had a nanny for our children as I just could not overcome the feeling of not being able to trust a complete stranger to look after what is my most precious. I sometimes find it hard to leave kids with my husband, as he can be a bit distracted and forgetful.
Lazy. I have a successful mini business that I'm working on towards expending, but from time to time I find myself wasting my time on meaningless things and not focusing on those that are important and valuable.
Jealous - from time to time. Nothing major.
Most of the time:
very dominant. I don't like this in me at all, but I often feel I prefer things done my way and not always will let others have a chance. I'm a leader (and not necessary a good one, unfortunately). I am quite strict when it comes to children, but try my best to let them and myself have as relaxed and happy life as I manage. But then again - I don't struggle to compromise and give in or apologize for something I think I was or did wrong.
Altruist. I love helping others, even if I'm not asked. I love sharing and giving. I'm not ignorant.
Changeable and moody (I don't necessary stick to one thing for long). One day I believe in something, it might change the next day. Might be very happy and grounded in the morning, but it all might change quickly too.
Am critical. I criticize myself, others. Don't like that, but can't help.
Generally am a real optimist.
I am competitive. I love a good challenge and will really want to prove myself (but will be fine if I loose or don't manage to prove myself).
Am very creative. I make a living from things I make.
Very sensitive. I cry quite easily: a good book or a good movie, something I saw or heard, or if someone upsets me. Crying makes me feel better.
If I put my mind on to something I can be very strong willed.
I can't stand seeing unfairness in any form or shape. If I see kids fighting I'll most likely not pass by. If I see an adult treating a child really badly - I'll very likely interfere. Will only keep quiet if I see it puts danger towards me or my family. I'll defend the weaker ones.
Am very talkative. Talk too much.
I like things to happen fast. Find it hard to be around slower people for too long. That's where my dominant side is more obvious as I rather do it myself than ask a slower person...
- I like thunderstorm. I find it beautiful. But prefer to be in a safe place.
- I mostly do like to be with someone and consolation definitely helps as does talking.
- I'm sensitive to smells. Don't particularly like loudness of people.
- habit - I like to bite skin around my nails.
Most of the time I feel proud about my family. Love my boys more than anything. Having said that, since having our first son I become less balanced of what I used to be. More worried, less relaxed, more strict and would trust other people far less. My older son is very sensitive (he was the one who had to suffer along with me when i went through my panic year). We don't always get on, he's much more the slower person, quite stubborn and not very independent. He likes to be dominant, just like me, so I often suppress him by being the stronger one and not always right. I hate to feel guilty, I want to be fair and supportive, patient and guide my kids rather then drag towards where I want. I am afraid my egoism and often lack of patience will leave him this less confident & desperate to prove himself person. My littlest - he's mammy's boy. We have a very strong bond so far (although it was similar with the oldest one till the little one came). He's typical Lycopodium and his mood swings sometimes test our patience. At the moment we have two boys, who although really care and love each other and have a good time together, they also hurt each other a lot, something i find really hard to deal with. They also often are bored, even though i do my best to do things with them and teach and show, but find it quite challenging as both me and my husband are very naturally creative, our kids are not (yet) interested in process of making and learning new stuff. I try not too worry about it all too much and just do my best by not giving up on them and more importantly by helping them to discover interesting things and themselves. It brings me down as I so want them to enjoy their childhood and have lots of fun, be free and happy, but feel my struggles dwell upon them. I worry about their health (although there is nothing major to worry about really), the littlest one is not the best eater, although I know it will come as we're not giving in and shoving a good example, but he's prone to colds and they tend to progress quite quickly ending up as chesty coughs... that always stresses us out.
My mother is typical Nat Mur. Was always strong and dominant, not very flexible and always defending adult side, no matter what. I often felt alone and not good enough (especially at school) and hated to disappoint her, just like my oldest son hates to disappoint me. Now she's very strict catholic who lives nuns life really with strict routines, diet and very strict views, opinions. I still feel her strong influence on me, although I try to resist it. I feel like I've lost my mom 12 years ago. It sadens me, but I've learned to respect her choice and support whenever I can.
My husband I think is a Sulphur. We're best friends, good partners and good team. Maybe not the best parents, as his work takes most of his time and that recently often makes me very angry. His work is something he loves doing, it's interesting and it fulfills him (and he works so much so we can have so called better life at some point, which I appreciate, but also feel I don't mind living with less, but more together and more happy rather than more wealthy), but at the same time it's stressful and leaves impact on all of us: he does not sleep enough, his eyes suffer, he often can not spend time with us, not even on weekends and I worry for his health too (his father died at 64 from brain tumor and was very similar - working non stop...) so I find myself thinking he's heading that direction... I feel responsible for him. He's in a total chaos at the moment burning out, mentally and physically and I just pray it does not hit him hard. I care for him and wish I could make a bigger difference.
I was recently (about 7 months ago) very seriously jealous when I found out my brother is finally expecting their first child with his girlfriend, who also is a very good friend of mine. I was kind of hoping to have one more child, although my husband is not as very keen as I would want and he's also way to busy at the moment to be able to be a good dad to even more little one. I do see it now that it's more unrealistic than realistic, I'm not exactly fit and in harmony myself to go for one more huge responsibility, but back then I just so badly wanted to get pregnant. To top it up, my brother is having a girl, something I would wish after having two lovely boys (although not desperate as boys are absolutely great too!!!). It took ma a few days to get my head around it (I'm now very genuinely happy for them and with them and am very exited). I mainly felt disappointed with my husband, again, as he's the one who just has his work... I'm fine now and see it as if it's meant, it will come. Kids are not just babies, it's a serous commitment that has to be taken seriously. In a mean time I have enough to work on. And really want to enjoy more what we have.
I don't have many friends. We both, me and my husband are foreigners in Uk. I miss socializing more, miss good friendships, but value the ones we have. I'm choosy and it's more important to have somebody with whom I'll have a lot in common rather than just somebody to talk to.
11. My fears are cancer, illness that would disable me or my husband, or impact my kids lives, fear of pain and loss (of loved ones - as that would lead to mental pain). I often think of things happening (to my kids my husband) that I would wish would leave my head. I dread car accident.
12. pastry and baked sweets are dominant. Ice cream. Bread. Starchy food. I like salty food. Aversion to oysters, raw onion, black tea, alcohol, prefer warm food and drinks. Don't like too sweet food.
13. less
14. normal, although i like to nibble in between meals
15. raw onions, i will burp the taste up for the whole day if i have them. coffee gives me palpitations (although I don't drink it for the last 6 years)
16. normal. Head and armpits.
17. more less regular - 1 a day. More softer than hard.
18. I sleep ok. Some nights deeper then others. When I don't sleep too well - I toss a lot. I like to sleep on my back, with on leg bend on the side or legs crossed. Or ether side, but not too curled up. I like to have my feet out if it's a warm night.
19. My sex drive at the moment is low as is my husbands so my needs are met.
20. I tend to analyze myself and especially get a lot of answers, clues through my dreams. There were quite a few things I knew ahead through my dreams before they happened in real.
21. I had carc 1m after my first visit to homeopath last year due to my left sided daily headaches and I had no headache the next day. They gradually became less frequent, I also felt less scared of cancer. I had successful respond to Sepia 1m. Also to nat mur 1m. that resolved some of the issues towards my mom. Thuja 1m when I felt worse about myself, did not like myself...
22. my dad had aritmia 6 years ago (he underwent the process of his heart being stopped in order to restore the normal pulse. It worked). My older brother also had some minor complains about his heart, he's very emotional, sensitive and anger builds up in him - his heart beat was not strong enough for some time. He also has gastritis. The 3 of us have tendency towards lower blood pressure.
My granddad went blind from too much drinking at about 65-70 years of age. Me, my brother and my cousins all are shortsighted. My aunt and one of my cousins still suffer from depressions, panic attacks and are regularly on antidepressants.
23. I'm tall and quite lean. 180cm and 68kg. Have well proportioned body, but my ankles are quite big, am quite flexible. My head is oval, quite small compared with the body, upper lip is quite slim, nose longish, slightly hooked (from wearing glasses?) have wrinkles under my eyes and from corners of my eyes. Eyes are gray/green, and people comment they are very noticeable. My hair is fine and straight, longish, brunette naturally but colored in lighter shade. Skin tans easily in brown color, bodily hair is blond.
24. my periods are mostly very regular, 25-26 days. Recently it starts with dark brown blood and after 3-3,5 days its' brown blood again. I'm not sure anymore what's considered as normal flow, for me it's the second day where it's more, after that it's not much of blood. I do see blood clots.
Thank you once again!!! Looking froward to your constitutional suggestion.
Thank you for the breathing exercises!!! Definitely gonna try these out!
I'm gonna get calcarea fluorica 6x4 as you suggested. If it's not gonna be too late :)

Lazy. I have a successful mini business that I'm working on towards expending, but from time to time I find myself wasting my time on meaningless things and not focusing on those that are important and valuable.
Jealous - from time to time. Nothing major.
Most of the time:
very dominant. I don't like this in me at all, but I often feel I prefer things done my way and not always will let others have a chance. I'm a leader (and not necessary a good one, unfortunately). I am quite strict when it comes to children, but try my best to let them and myself have as relaxed and happy life as I manage. But then again - I don't struggle to compromise and give in or apologize for something I think I was or did wrong.
Altruist. I love helping others, even if I'm not asked. I love sharing and giving. I'm not ignorant.
Changeable and moody (I don't necessary stick to one thing for long). One day I believe in something, it might change the next day. Might be very happy and grounded in the morning, but it all might change quickly too.
Am critical. I criticize myself, others. Don't like that, but can't help.
Generally am a real optimist.
I am competitive. I love a good challenge and will really want to prove myself (but will be fine if I loose or don't manage to prove myself).
Am very creative. I make a living from things I make.
Very sensitive. I cry quite easily: a good book or a good movie, something I saw or heard, or if someone upsets me. Crying makes me feel better.
If I put my mind on to something I can be very strong willed.
I can't stand seeing unfairness in any form or shape. If I see kids fighting I'll most likely not pass by. If I see an adult treating a child really badly - I'll very likely interfere. Will only keep quiet if I see it puts danger towards me or my family. I'll defend the weaker ones.
Am very talkative. Talk too much.
I like things to happen fast. Find it hard to be around slower people for too long. That's where my dominant side is more obvious as I rather do it myself than ask a slower person...
- I like thunderstorm. I find it beautiful. But prefer to be in a safe place.
- I mostly do like to be with someone and consolation definitely helps as does talking.
- I'm sensitive to smells. Don't particularly like loudness of people.
- habit - I like to bite skin around my nails.
Most of the time I feel proud about my family. Love my boys more than anything. Having said that, since having our first son I become less balanced of what I used to be. More worried, less relaxed, more strict and would trust other people far less. My older son is very sensitive (he was the one who had to suffer along with me when i went through my panic year). We don't always get on, he's much more the slower person, quite stubborn and not very independent. He likes to be dominant, just like me, so I often suppress him by being the stronger one and not always right. I hate to feel guilty, I want to be fair and supportive, patient and guide my kids rather then drag towards where I want. I am afraid my egoism and often lack of patience will leave him this less confident & desperate to prove himself person. My littlest - he's mammy's boy. We have a very strong bond so far (although it was similar with the oldest one till the little one came). He's typical Lycopodium and his mood swings sometimes test our patience. At the moment we have two boys, who although really care and love each other and have a good time together, they also hurt each other a lot, something i find really hard to deal with. They also often are bored, even though i do my best to do things with them and teach and show, but find it quite challenging as both me and my husband are very naturally creative, our kids are not (yet) interested in process of making and learning new stuff. I try not too worry about it all too much and just do my best by not giving up on them and more importantly by helping them to discover interesting things and themselves. It brings me down as I so want them to enjoy their childhood and have lots of fun, be free and happy, but feel my struggles dwell upon them. I worry about their health (although there is nothing major to worry about really), the littlest one is not the best eater, although I know it will come as we're not giving in and shoving a good example, but he's prone to colds and they tend to progress quite quickly ending up as chesty coughs... that always stresses us out.
My mother is typical Nat Mur. Was always strong and dominant, not very flexible and always defending adult side, no matter what. I often felt alone and not good enough (especially at school) and hated to disappoint her, just like my oldest son hates to disappoint me. Now she's very strict catholic who lives nuns life really with strict routines, diet and very strict views, opinions. I still feel her strong influence on me, although I try to resist it. I feel like I've lost my mom 12 years ago. It sadens me, but I've learned to respect her choice and support whenever I can.
My husband I think is a Sulphur. We're best friends, good partners and good team. Maybe not the best parents, as his work takes most of his time and that recently often makes me very angry. His work is something he loves doing, it's interesting and it fulfills him (and he works so much so we can have so called better life at some point, which I appreciate, but also feel I don't mind living with less, but more together and more happy rather than more wealthy), but at the same time it's stressful and leaves impact on all of us: he does not sleep enough, his eyes suffer, he often can not spend time with us, not even on weekends and I worry for his health too (his father died at 64 from brain tumor and was very similar - working non stop...) so I find myself thinking he's heading that direction... I feel responsible for him. He's in a total chaos at the moment burning out, mentally and physically and I just pray it does not hit him hard. I care for him and wish I could make a bigger difference.
I was recently (about 7 months ago) very seriously jealous when I found out my brother is finally expecting their first child with his girlfriend, who also is a very good friend of mine. I was kind of hoping to have one more child, although my husband is not as very keen as I would want and he's also way to busy at the moment to be able to be a good dad to even more little one. I do see it now that it's more unrealistic than realistic, I'm not exactly fit and in harmony myself to go for one more huge responsibility, but back then I just so badly wanted to get pregnant. To top it up, my brother is having a girl, something I would wish after having two lovely boys (although not desperate as boys are absolutely great too!!!). It took ma a few days to get my head around it (I'm now very genuinely happy for them and with them and am very exited). I mainly felt disappointed with my husband, again, as he's the one who just has his work... I'm fine now and see it as if it's meant, it will come. Kids are not just babies, it's a serous commitment that has to be taken seriously. In a mean time I have enough to work on. And really want to enjoy more what we have.
I don't have many friends. We both, me and my husband are foreigners in Uk. I miss socializing more, miss good friendships, but value the ones we have. I'm choosy and it's more important to have somebody with whom I'll have a lot in common rather than just somebody to talk to.
11. My fears are cancer, illness that would disable me or my husband, or impact my kids lives, fear of pain and loss (of loved ones - as that would lead to mental pain). I often think of things happening (to my kids my husband) that I would wish would leave my head. I dread car accident.
12. pastry and baked sweets are dominant. Ice cream. Bread. Starchy food. I like salty food. Aversion to oysters, raw onion, black tea, alcohol, prefer warm food and drinks. Don't like too sweet food.
13. less
14. normal, although i like to nibble in between meals
15. raw onions, i will burp the taste up for the whole day if i have them. coffee gives me palpitations (although I don't drink it for the last 6 years)
16. normal. Head and armpits.
17. more less regular - 1 a day. More softer than hard.
18. I sleep ok. Some nights deeper then others. When I don't sleep too well - I toss a lot. I like to sleep on my back, with on leg bend on the side or legs crossed. Or ether side, but not too curled up. I like to have my feet out if it's a warm night.
19. My sex drive at the moment is low as is my husbands so my needs are met.
20. I tend to analyze myself and especially get a lot of answers, clues through my dreams. There were quite a few things I knew ahead through my dreams before they happened in real.
21. I had carc 1m after my first visit to homeopath last year due to my left sided daily headaches and I had no headache the next day. They gradually became less frequent, I also felt less scared of cancer. I had successful respond to Sepia 1m. Also to nat mur 1m. that resolved some of the issues towards my mom. Thuja 1m when I felt worse about myself, did not like myself...
22. my dad had aritmia 6 years ago (he underwent the process of his heart being stopped in order to restore the normal pulse. It worked). My older brother also had some minor complains about his heart, he's very emotional, sensitive and anger builds up in him - his heart beat was not strong enough for some time. He also has gastritis. The 3 of us have tendency towards lower blood pressure.
My granddad went blind from too much drinking at about 65-70 years of age. Me, my brother and my cousins all are shortsighted. My aunt and one of my cousins still suffer from depressions, panic attacks and are regularly on antidepressants.
23. I'm tall and quite lean. 180cm and 68kg. Have well proportioned body, but my ankles are quite big, am quite flexible. My head is oval, quite small compared with the body, upper lip is quite slim, nose longish, slightly hooked (from wearing glasses?) have wrinkles under my eyes and from corners of my eyes. Eyes are gray/green, and people comment they are very noticeable. My hair is fine and straight, longish, brunette naturally but colored in lighter shade. Skin tans easily in brown color, bodily hair is blond.
24. my periods are mostly very regular, 25-26 days. Recently it starts with dark brown blood and after 3-3,5 days its' brown blood again. I'm not sure anymore what's considered as normal flow, for me it's the second day where it's more, after that it's not much of blood. I do see blood clots.
Thank you once again!!! Looking froward to your constitutional suggestion.

Please take three doses of pulsatilla 30c daily at a gap of 4 hours for two days. Please don't take calc fluor 6x on the day you take pulsatilla. You may take Calc fluor 6x from next day onward. You may even keep calc fluor 6x on hold as pulsatilla seems to be your constitutional remedy and it is expected to help you at both physical and mental levels.
Please follow homoeopathic restrictions and report back after 7 days.

I had to have a panoramic dental X-ray today. I understand x-rays can antidote homeopathic remedies.
What do I do now? I've taken my last dose one day ago.

Some homeopaths believe that X Ray can give rise to new symptoms. This is not always true. There is one xray remedy in homeopathy to antidote effects of X ray. Please don't worry just report everything at the scheduled reporting time.

not sure if there are any noticeable positive changes.
I've had an appointment with a fantastic holistic dentist. In his opinion, my problematic tooth on the left upper side is not fixable and I would be better without it, but he recons a good homeopathic restoration of my healthy self would most likely safe my tooth too. There's also a decay on the upper right tooth.
After the appointment I felt a huge relieve, that at last there is a concrete plan as what I have to do regarding my teeth. Felt really good about myself for one day. But then thoughts of how I do it and where (as the holistic dentist is way too expensive to me for what I need done) kept on torturing me and with my period approaching fast I was back to feeling moody, irritable in no time. My knee pain is a bit better though. It still wakes me up at night, but I think it's worse after a busy active day and I had quite a few of those recently.
There were a couple of times in the last 7 days where I wished I could just cry it all out, but couldn't squeeze a tear.
My period is due tomorrow and my breast were rather quite painful until today, compared to last month were I thought I'm almost not feeling any change in them.
Have short hot flushes from time to time.
My moods are still up and down. Not the best appetite, am craving pizza.
Feeling tiered after physical activities, better for moving, talking, sleeping.
I had quite a few sweets over the last couple of days and feel they disagreed with me, at the moment feel averse to anything sweet.
Have a mild mild headache on the left side, between the year and eye.
Last night thoughts about what next remedy could do me good (and trying to work it out myself by going through the remedies I know and trying to compare the characteristics) did not help me sleep very well.
I find it hard to motivate myself to do things I should, like house shores, crafty stuff that usually is my way of relaxing, exercise... It's easier once I start doing things, but getting to the start point is a real effort.
All of the above aside - I feel I'm moving in right direction and am gonna get better. Am feeling positive.

Day 12 today, but I would like to report about some changes in me...
I have strange skin rash on my inner side of arms and legs only. Lots of tiny skin colored spots that don't itch. As for my knee - no change at all. It still hurts once it's been in a uncomfortable (especially bended) position for a longer period of time.
I'm feeling a bit nauseous after eating. Mouth tasts metallic/salty from time to time, tongue feels as if it's burning a bit and I still crave for sweets (chocolate, biscuits), dairy products (yogurt) and salty food like pizza and sandwiches. I've noticed that after having some chocolate I get a bit itchy. Not very thirsty.
Yesterday morning I found out I became an aunt (for the very first time), my sister in law had a baby girl. I burst out in tears, feeling very sad and jealous (because its a girl I would wish for?), jealous as they gonna have this amazing expirience that I still long for... Felt I can not really open up about my feelings with someone, felt bad and disappointed with my own feelings/thoughts. But then cried it all out, opened up with my husband and felt a big relieve. By the afternoon I felt exited about the new arrival and honestly happy for my brother and his family. I'm still feeling very very broody.
This morning I have an ovulation pain, it's on my right side. So looks like its still right sided symptoms.
Else I felt quite good about myself, active (only sluggish and tiered after waking up/getting up in the morning, happy, getting some creative stuff done.

Whether these skin symptoms have appeared for the first time or they were present earlier also.
about your knee
As for my knee - no change at all. It still hurts once it's been in a uncomfortable (especially bended) position for a longer period of time.
this you said in your first post
At the beginning it was only mild discomfort by having to walk up or down the stairs, gradually it started to hurt when the knee is kept still in one position for a longer time (the pain is strong and tearing, like strong muscle cramp relieved by walking). It's worse at night.
Now whether there is no knee pain at night.
This morning I have an ovulation pain, it's on my right side. So looks like its still right sided symptoms.
On your another thread you said that you have left sided ovulation pain. Can you describe your pains as you have described earlier on the other thread.
Which Bach Flower Remedies you are taking.

I've noticed those spots two days ago. It's nothing major, it only is really visible if you look in the light, it also looks better now than it did in the morning.
I've the same looking spots on my forehead for the last 6-8 months or so. There are days when my forehead looks better and some days it looks covered in those small skin color spots, some can be squeezed (white thick stuff comes out).
The knee pain is the same in the night as it is during the day: only start to really feel it if I sit with my right knee bended (for some time), at night - it wakes me up if I have my knee up or bended and pain is relieved by stretching the knee totally straight. The pain is the same - tearing, cramp like. There is a discomfort, but not constant, on walking up or down the stairs or when I swim.
Ovulation, I've felt my right ovary (a few days before the ovulation, nothing worrying, just felt it now and then). Woke up this morning with a mild discomfort on the right side (it makes me wanna bend down to relieve discomfort). I still feel it if I'm lying down on my back, else its very mild and bearable. Not bloated, but had quite a bit of gas in the last few days (mainly evenings/night time - Lycopodium?)
Vulva is dry. Not itchy.
I also have a mouth ulcer on inner right side upper lip. I bit myself some days ago...
I'm taking following Bach remedies: Chestnut bud and White chestnut and I just included Crab apple today. I also take Impatiens and Beech just before and during my period.
Thank you for your time and all of your help!

I've uploaded some pictures so you could see the rash.
https://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/1478559/1/rash?h=9385a7 (click pics for larger size)
It looks worse in the morning on getting up. On my arms it's mainly from wrists till my elbows (mainly the inner part), on my legs it's not as visible and more on the inner upper part.
I forgot to mention that I have itchy ears. It feels as if I need to scratch inside, where the wax is, but scratching does not relieve the itchiness. Nor does cleaning my ears. The right ear is worse. It's not constant, but comes and goes for the last 2 weeks or so.
I also suspect I might have a mild form of thrush. This morning there was a bit of yogurt looking white semi thick discharge. No itchiness. I'm still taking quite strong (30 bill) probiotic pills to help restore my flora after the antibiotics.
Thanks again!

Just to let you know, my knee has improved, at last! It's been much better since Monday night, only had some very mild pain (including night) so it's looking good. Thank you!
As for rash, it's still there, now my legs (from knees up) look worse. I'm trying to monitor my diet, will try to detox and see what happens.
