Hi Dr.,
This weekend I will be coming up on the 15 days since taking the Calc carb 200. Currently I still have the cold sore scab on my mouth, no more itchy legs since the last one. Overall I am feeling pretty good, still struggling with the real cold weather, having some itchness in rectal area off and on and probably didn't really want to admit it but guess I have hemmoroids or at least that is what I think it is. Swelling membrane slightly below the rectum, itches off and on. That is probably been going on for the last 5 years, not sure about before pregnancy. However, I have always noticed that one side of my labia was bigger than the other and on the side that was bigger or more protruding it would get irritated especially after sex.
So wondering next steps in case I need to buy different remedies.
Thanks!
*****Husband***
Only things noticed thusfar was the itchy head right after the magnesium remedy, says he feels groggy in the am even on days he gets good sleep. The throat gland thing seem to have passed. Will have to check post, not sure when his 15 days is up...should be soon.

For you let the medicine act for another 15 days it is doing good and we will wait for the complete action of the medicine to finish. please keep posting the changes though, so we can analyse them finally while thinking of the next line of management. Haemorrhoids could be a blind one from your discription but cant comment unless examined, so if you can get your self checked then let me know the exact position(only found out by examination) and grade of it, we can treat them actually is it bleeding, with or without pain? give me more detials of it, may be you don need any medicine calc should take care of it as well, but still we can see.
Give me the detials we will get it sorted

About your husband the medicine are right away acting at the general level which is better, see how it goes once it is 15 days we will think of adding something or may just leave it as well, we will see.
Thanks.

Hi Dr., We don't have insurance so with our financial situation right now can't afford to get checked out. However, I am a veteran so I may be able to get coverage at the local Veteran hospital so I will check into that and if possible have the hemmoroid thing looked at. They don't bleed, it really just feels like slightly swollen membrane on the Left side, which is also the hip/leg side that feels stuck. The muscle and/or fat on both thighs, more on Left is knotty in texture, quad muscle is pulling on kneecap. Mostly I feel a very tight area now coming from left hip bone, a wiry, taut feeling and I almost always feel things are being pulled at from the public bone, more internally to leg. I was doing a split like move, just breathing into it last night and can just feel so much tension and tightness in this area. But there is still the nerve sensations around R side of c-section scar and if I massage on or around it there is still an area that doesn't feel totally innervated or alive slightly above the scar on Right side. I still feel uncomfortable lying on my Left side because I feel as if the Right side is weak and feel the pulling/tensing to hold that area up. It is better than ever but these are the things I am still noticing. But I am starting to feel more stable in my hips if I run or walk on treadmill which I always felt slightly tilted to one side. So yes I will continue to report changes over the next 15 days.

My husband has been having leg cramps in Right leg for last couple of nights. He said he used to have this alot in his 20's and has had it off and on since I have known him but infrequently. He said he has been itching alot on his legs but not sure if that was before or after he started the remedies.

Thanks!

Hi Dr., I am having the itching spell again, on my thighs but this time mostly on my shins and some on my belly. The belly had one area that turned red. I feel it is related to eating carbs/sugar. But it mostly seems to happen at night. I haven't been restricting myself of any foods lately and find myself eating more bread, some milk and sugar. I feel as if my thighs/legs are still swollen to some degree, if I push with my finger I can see the dimpling of skin/fat, with a water retention look. I would say I used to feel like I had swelling in the my low back, around L4, L5 but that is mostly gone but right now if I feel around back there I do feel like there may be a little swelling in between two vertebra.
Emotionally I have been bringing up more issues with my husband that I used to not address with him. I still get very frustrated on how our conversations go. I confronted him about him lying to his Mom about our financial situation so I asked why he was doing it and gave him my views about this lying and how one lie leads to more lies to cover up first one and told him I would not lie about our situation if I get asked about it. And he got very defensive, didn't take any responsibility or show any remorse. He even asked me why I didn't confront him about it when it happened. And I know if I had he would have been just as defensive so I decided to wait a few days, let myself cool down about. And I did realize this was his personal issues it wasn't about me and I had to not hold onto the strong emotions I was feeling about the whole situation. So while I am not really holding onto the hurt and angry about the lies I am still upset about how our conversation go - he is very defensive and never really lets these walls down he has up, and he tries to turn the situation and make it seem like I am the one making it bigger than it is. And we ended it with him saying I will call my Mom and tell her the truth if that is what you want me to do but I don't want to do it. I told him you have to do what you think is right and I am not going to tell you what to do. I am just saying I will not support the lies with more lies if asked. In the past my husband had basically told me he doesn't love himself so doesn't know how to love others. He seems detached emotionally in many ways. But when I start talking about something he did or did not do he many times starts to cry. And then he will try to turn the focus on how hard he works and things never work out and all he wants to do is be with him family and provide for them, etc. but his actions don't say the same. Many times on the phone he is polite, asks if I need anything, says I miss you, etc. and then he walks in the door and he may be irritated and in a nasty mood and acts that way with us, it is like I talked to one person and another one came home. It used to be first thing in am he was just so hard to be around. He moaned about not sleeping good, and if he is hungry then he uses that as an excuse many times for his behavior. (That is the common theme in his life or what he contributes to him being the way he is - not resting well or sleeping and not feeling rested). And the deal with his Mom and the lying he says it is for the reason because she worries so much and will lose sleep over worrying about us but I don't think that is it. Because in the past he doesn't return calls to her and if he worried about her worrying I think he would. I really believes it is about him measuring up to what he thinks she expects of him. He has mentioned how her and others sit around and talk about others, judging them and he doesn't want them to do that with us.
We still haven't reconnected in an intimate way. I have considered it a few times in the past, making the first move, doing something romantic but I just haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Something I will have to continue to work out. I think my fear is I will do that and we may or may not have sex but everything else, all these issues will still be the same and it will just make me resentful. I guess I have always found sex to be the glue to hold things together, the place to get reconnected if only for awhile but with us it has kind of been a difficult thing from the time we met. Many times I was in the mood and he would say he needed to go to bed, and I took it as rejection. I was 4 or 5 months pregnant on our honey moon and we didn't have sex. I was very hurt but he said he was tired, stressed over buying a new house, everything. And it really hurt my feelings even though I truly believe many times he is just exhausted, doesn't have the energy to do many things but as a woman and his wife I want him to find it for me or want the sex/intimacy enough to least give it a try.
Okay, I have said enough for one night. My issues with sex, the guilt of it as a young woman, the sexual transmitted diseases, etc. has been a big theme in my life, so much revolved around sex - thinking it equated to love and realized how I was looking for love in all the wrong ways. Now I find I am in a committed relationship and cannot feel free to express that sexual side of myself. Any homeopathy to help with all this repressed, confused sexual chaos?
Thanks!

Well to be honest i am confused with what is going on right now, it should be more appropriate if you could mail me(to my email) the intimate quries and not in public, you know what i mean?

I am sorry but i read this long post i am not in a position to make a decision, i think it is getting more personal and more than medicines we need to get psychology right here. It seems that, (to be point blank, 'he is not making love as you wish or when ever you wanted') which is an issue between two persons and you seem to be fine from my point of view and all you have to do is sort it out with your husband, and i don see anything is wrong with you with those feelings and stuff, if you don mind how old are you? and how old is your husband?
I asked you to mail me personally because i know such questions will come up and if you don mind going public i am fine going public as well.
Well first things first, keep a note of your itching and i suppose we may have to add another remedy to solve this problem of itching, so lets wait for another week and see the changes and then we will sort it out, about your relationship 'you are fine' and showing the 'right emotions of a wife' or 'a sexually active person' so there is no need of a remedy, and believe me it is not a sexual chaos as you mention it. Thats why i asked you your age and your husbands.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

My husband said he was up most of the night with leg cramping. He has had it for the next 3 nights. Mostly in the Right leg but some in the left. Like I mentioned this is something he said happened alot in his 20's.

I need to check old post but I think his 15 days is almost up from taking his remedies. I will check and write back. Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Just found the day he started his remedies and today has been 11 days since he took his first doses of silicea and magnesium carb.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
I am experiencing alot of off and on numbness in my arms and hands, especially right hand. I feel the congestion in the lymph nodes on Right side, breast, near armpit and up to neck. I sleep mostly of back but usually at some point turn over and lay on arms/hands and wake up with them numb. Usually on the Right hand it is middle finger, ring finger and pickie that is numb and stiff. The middle finger is the one that caused me such grief during pregnancy. The other day, after the 2 days of itchy thighs and legs I had what I would call large diarrhea like bowel movement, like baby poop but felt much relief afterwards. Just feel like things get stuck for a day or two too long. I also notice that my hips and thighs get very tense after a few massages, a day or so of not doing yoga and when I finally do the stretches and poses I get such relief in those areas. Even last night, after 2 massages which involve alot of squatting, while it feels great doing it during the massage then my legs felt very tired later that night. I really think my body is calling out for more regular exercise which has been very challenging to do with the snow and cold and just having it as a priority when so many things require my attention. I know it is a challenge many people face and I plan to get something that I enjoy like kick boxing or zumba (dance like exercise) or even more regular yoga sessions to happen after the holidays.

My research shows grapefruit essential oil is suppose to help with stagnant lymphatic system. Do you think it is okay to use and increase sauna to help move things out? What are your thoughts of essential oils and Bach flower essences? I know I read in other posts that herbal remedies are also thought to suppress symptoms (which I had never heard)is that thought about essential oils are do they assist the body?
Thanks!
 
congested last decade
The numbness shows the poor circulation and this could be due to the lymphatic blockage as well, sauna and manual drainage of lymphatics is a good idea with assitance of oils, as you suggested essential oils. But about anything taken as a remedy if it does not correspond to the symptoms or similar to the symptoms suffered then it will supress. Otherwise such things can be used as suppliments. Not a problem.
But the numbness and stretching of muscles and tiredness later are all because of lack of regular exercise, any of your suggestions can be carried out but on a regular basis, i should recommend some basic cardio and core exercises and all muscle workouts so that you get all your body to get used to the situation and then take it to the level of kick boxing and stuff.
When ever you get these stiff ness or stretching due to over work then take Rhus tox 30 a few doses and it will ease things out.
Essential oils are fine can be used but not in lots and not on a regular basis.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

I just wanted to give you an update. I went to a Hot yoga class on Thursday and it is a faster pace and I have been aching for 3 days now. I couldn't get any rhus tox on Friday since stores were closed but took a dose yesterday and 2 doses today. My whole Left side of my abdomen is just tight knotty tissue and pulls up into my neck and head. I have been constipated for a week. Have been going to bathroom but small bowel movements but always left feeling like they are very incomplete movements. So last night I felt as if I was drugged, fell asleep on the couch early for about an hour. Woke up this morning with the Left side of my head aching and above eye. Then this afternoon same feeling, drugged like state, slept on the couch for 2 1/2 hours and just feel achy. So I just took the 2nd dose of rhus tox. I have had about 3 bowel movements today, all small pieces. I have been eating alot more cheese lately, craving sugar in the form of ginger soda and yerba matte soda. When I didn't really allow myself these things I didn't think about them much but the more I let myself have them the more I want them. Not so much sugar treats or chocolate but cold, semi sweet beverages. I have been drinking warm ginger tea all day and had a cucumber/carrot/celery/ginger juice about an hour ago hoping to relieve this constipation and feel better in am.
Yes I can see I need to start with basic core exercises and work my way up to those other things. My tendency is no pain no gain and just jump right in and pay later which I am doing now with the too advanced yoga class.
I will post for my son later!
Thanks!

Hey thanks for the update,
the constipation might be because of the dairy products you have been taking for past. Go ahead with the yoga, and rhus tox and arnica will help you to get out of the pain and stress in the muscles, and also drink lot of plain water, like as much as you can to ease the system and see how it goes for another two days if you feel still difficult bowel movements then i will suggest with some medicines for relief.
Hope your son is doing better, i just saw a post with little wheez and did not hear anything after that, hope the Christmas went on well without any issues.
Keep me posted thanks.

Hi Dr.,

I am feeling pretty lousy right now. This morning I was feeling not too bad after my neck popped and some tension released. I then walked on treadmill for 30 min. and took a shower. I have been to the bathroom twice but still small pieces. I am very off and on nauseous, almost like I could throw up. There is one spot on side of my head, left side and above eyebrown which is really hurting. I took one dose of arnica this morning. I think I just need to have a good bowel movement and I would feel better. I have drank a few glasses of water, a glass of warm water with lemon and a cup of dandelion root tea. I just feel as if I have to sit very still and quiet so my head and tummy doesn't hurt as much.
Help if you can. Thanks!

get nux vomica 30 and take one dose every 4 hours and let me know after the fifth dose,
See how is it.
Thanks.
 
Dr. Bagyavasan.k last decade
Hi Dr.,

I took my 2nd dose of arnica and finally the head pain was gone. My tummy was feeling better by the time I got your e-mail but I bought the remedy and took one dose and had a good bowel movement within 30 min. or so of taking it. I felt so much better. Good enough to go to a evening yoga class (this was is a yin class, much slower pace but holds the poses longer and it was a great class for me tonight). I was very relaxed after the class. I have alot of tension in my hips and limited movement in twisting movements but I think doing the yoga 2 or 3 times a week will work wonders. So that is my new goal to get more active on a regular basis.

So my question is should I continue taking the nux vomica remedies, 5 doses or since I feel better not take them anymore?
Thanks!

That is good news, you don have to take nux vomica, the work is done.
Carry on with the yoga classes and good goal.

Hi Dr.,

Just noticing something that seems to be a theme to the itchy legs. I usually have a bowel movement right after or during the itching. Just now I used the bathroom, was scratching at my thighs, they get a little red and itchy and sometimes, like now, the itchness continues after the bowel movement.

You mentioned something about addressing the gonerrhea that I had as a teenager in the future. I am wondering what remedy would that be and I just have this sense of something buried from long ago in this left hip...so mind wonders back to that.
Thanks!
 
congested last decade
The heavyness and stiffness along with itching etc with history of gonerrhoea leads to a remedy called thuja 1M and it has to be taken only one dose, say may be next week or 15 days since you have take your dose of calc carb, early morning empty stomach, that one single dose will do the trick, i was waiting for your response to come back which is almost there, so go head and get this remedy and take one dose.
Thanks.
 
Dr. Bagyavasan.k last decade
Hi Dr.,

Okay will order next remedy. Just wanted to clarify something. At one point you mentioned by the time I took my 2nd dose of Calc carb I would have lots of energy. Was I suppose to take another dose? Or is that later on? It has been more than 15 day since I last took the Calc Carb.
Having another itchy spell right now, this time itching on my belly and lowback also.
Thanks!
 
congested last decade
no there is still time to take it i should recommend after 15 days from now will be good.
keep a track of the itching pattern, your last correlation with bowel movements and itching was useful.
Thanks

Hi Dr.,

I was scratching alot last night, thighs and shins. My legs felt somewhat swollen. Even though I had no bowel movement in the night I was having gas and that is another common thing when the itching is happening. This morning my bowel movement was small and on the runny side. I will write more later when I have some more time but another thing on the emotional side came up for me last night. My son was scratching and my first instinct was anger. So then I questioned myself why am I angry when I would think I would feel compassion. I know how bad this feels myself. So I asked myself am I angry at him, angry at myself, angry at God. Not really sure of the answer but after relating to how it feels for me I found more compassion. Also my thoughts went to how I am finding it hard to feel compassion for my husband and his ways and obvious struggles. I get angry at him or frustrated that he isn't doing this or that or knows better to do this or that. So I wonder where is the unconditional love. So I guess these are some thoughts for me to ponder. Also an old memory came up for me. When I was younger I had the chore to wash dishes sometimes and I would break out all up and down my arm. It would get rashy and itch and I remember scratching and scratching. My Mom changed liquid soap, put rubber clothes on me with rubber bands at top but no matter I got water in the gloves and itched. I know I am not fond of washing dishes, don't hate it but not my chore of choice and I think I remember being young and feeling the same way. I wanted to do the so called boy chores, take out the garbage, mow the grass, etc.
Okay, gotta run. Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Just read some old posts and realized you recommended me get ars alb 200c for these wheezing episodes and I never did, just have the 30c. We are having snow and roads are slippery so ended up not going to bounce house place so maybe it all worked out for the best. Safely at home and my son can recover.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
Haven't been having as much of the itching legs but it did happen for just a few minutes last night. My thighs were exhausted last night. I ran a Thai yoga massage special this month and getting alot more clients, had 7 in the last few days. So I feel pretty good considering I am not used to doing all these massages but my thighs, front part, get very tired. Also they seem swollen here lately. I did the Yin yoga class last minute and this past Mon. and each time I feel more and more opening in my pelvic region but then things don't seem to move out. I sense and feel the swollen lymph nodes in groin, arms, etc. The cyst in my Right breast was kind of painful these last few days along with my Right hip and thigh, especially sensitive this morning. I also just started my period so I do always feel a increase of lymph usually right before my period starts. I have been taking a couple of doses of rhus tox when I feel the muscle aches and pains but wondering about anything to assist in moving out the junk in my lymphatic system. What I notice most at the moment is my thighs get weak while the hamstrings seem tight and weak. The couple of vertebras in my back that have been locked up for years have more movement now but still get stuck. This morning I was able to use my thumb and press in and slighly rotate and it pop. I can do spinal twists and usually pops 2 or 3 times when legs go to right side and only once or not at all when I rotate to left. So things just not totally moving freely but they are improving. The itching that did occurred last night was when I went to bathroom to urinate and my legs got red and itcy. Right side of my neck is tight and right side of head kinds of feels like that sinus pressure or just tension from the tight muscles on entire Right side of body.
Thanks!

Hi Dr.,
I am having some dizzy symptoms since yesterday morning. I have been giving alot more massages this week than usual and my Right side of my body, especially my neck has been very tight. So yesterday when I went to just move my head in the bed the room was swaying, then I went to get up and same thing, it didn't happen again until I was doing a yoga pose in the evening and went to get up off the floor, felt dizzy like and saw the room kind of swaying back forth. The back and neck tension is less today, have been taking rhus tox but I still feel one vertebra out of alignment and is pulling on my scapula on Right side and tension goes all the way up to head and above Right eye. Also started my period yesterday. I am thinking that I have just overdone it this week but I know I have never felt the dizzy/swaying feeling before so was kind of surprised by it all. I know I still am not as relaxed and in my breath doing my Thai yoga. I sometimes find myself not breathing fully, sometimes more into my shoulders/arms instead of using my bodyweight so I know that is my challenge to continue to work on being comfortable with what I do.
Currently I am taking arnica once a day and rhus tox twice a day until all this achiness subsides. Please advise what you think about these new symptoms.
Thanks!

Hey,
The dizziness is due to the increased stress to the blood vessels of the head and neck which is due to the tightness you are feeling constantly (in the past few days), rest should be ideal for the dizzy symptoms and lots of fluids.
Other than that, for this constant tightness all around i should suggest you Causticum 200 one dose every week for one month and things should come under control, this will also take care of the lymphatic drainage as well.
Thanks.

Hi Dr.,

My husband is asking me for suggestions of things he can do for the excessive dry skin. He has a big job next week involving putting up drywall and he is starting to become really worried about his physical limitations. He hasn't worked out, walked, nothing for over 5 years. He is very tall, 6 feet and 3 inches, has had trouble with his knees, one knee operated on, long feet which hurt just having his heels laying on the floor. So I am trying to give him some yoga poses, simple stretches, etc. Just doing the poses he says his skin is so dry it burns and aches doing these moves. It looks like snake skin peeling. He craves carbs, has to eat bagel every morning, sometimes at night, usually eats cereal before bed, etc. He gets very impatient with himself and has had time relaxing. I don't remember the date but know it has been 15 days since he took his first 2 remedies. Do you suggest doing something else, waiting longer, etc.? Thanks!

Give him a dose of bryonia 30, it will reduce the dryness and the pain in the skin, hope there are no cracks in the skin.
Bryonia is a good medicine for pains during motion, so it should do the work.
Try it for a few days just a single dose every day. and while doing the movements if it hurts then stop for a while and then continue, also use some external applications like Vaseline etc to keep the skin moist.
Thanks.
