should i antidote?
Hi,I was prescribed lyc 6c and told to take it twice a day (every 12 hours) until the bottle was gone. I started this 2 weeks ago. I did it continuously for about a week but noticed i was just feeling worse and worse (especially mentally but physically also) so i stopped taking it for the second week. I took another 6c dose yesterday evening and again this morning i feel even worse. I think this remedy is not right for me and i'm wondering if i should antidote or wait it out? If i should antidote, how do i do that? also, i think a different remedy will work much better (aloe) but i am wondering can i start taking that right away, or should i wait some time since i've been taking the lycopodium?
please advise.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
if you have taken lyco for a week and then have observed changes in you, its better to wait for some days.
its possible that you are more sensitive and thus undergoing some kind of aggravation.
cure may come after the aggravation is over.

I haven't noticed any new symptoms but all of my symptoms i already had are worse. Especially anxiety and fearfulness.

if you are taking this remedy to cure anxiety and fearfulness, then i am afraid, you have been prescribed the wrong potency and possibly the wrong remedy.
would you like to give your case here?

Sure. Well I have had various different physical manifestations of anxiety for many years. The anxiety itself began mainly in my early twenties...i would have panic attacks quite frequently now the anxiety is more generalized and causes other physical problems.
I am a 26 year old female (almost 27). The problems I am experiencing currently are mainly digestive and mental. I tend to be a hypochondriac but only in relation to symptoms I already have. For instance, i have had a right sided abdominal pain towards the top of the abdomen for several months and I have completely obsessed about it and feared i must have a serious illness. Obsessing about my health has completely taken over my life, it is on my mind 85% of the time. I am very anxious in general and have suffered from depression also for several months that varies in severity. The anxiety is more predominant. I have a deep seated belief that something serious is wrong with me and even if i can rationalize that there probably isn't (i have had quite a few tests done) i still have that feeling in the back of my mind and even subconsciously and it just pervades my life and prevents me from being happy. every morning i wake up i instantly have a feeling of extreme fear, like something is not right. I have been having alternating constipation and diarrhea...the diarrhea is not watery or anything but it is looser than normal, usually bulky and yellow/orange in color. my liver and gall bladder have both been checked allopathically and are fine. the diarrhea problem used to happen on and off for the past few years but the constipation i have never had in my life until this past august. i have a lot of intestinal gas (both large and small bowel) that often just sits around but won't move through. i have had abdominal xrays that show abnormal gas patterns and LOTS of gas, even after not eating for 12 hours. it is very painful, my intestines are almost never happy. in general i have a very difficult time putting on weight and am very thin. but recently i have started losing weight as well. I lost at least 5 pounds in the past few weeks (still eating well) and i weigh only 95 pounds now. (I'm 5'3'). Sometimes i have low blood sugar, usually mid day. This used to be a much bigger problem but has gotten a lot better, it doesn't happen nearly as often.
Also i tend to get skin symptoms. Right now i have seborrheic dermatitis all on the back of my neck, all behind my right ear and into parts of my right scalp (where it started to begin with). The skin is thickened and flaky/crusty red. It doesn't ooze or anything. but it's VERY itchy and i have a hard time resisting scratching. it begain at leat a year ago. before that i had no dermatitis.
starting in my early twenties i developped oily skin on my face (around the same time the anxiety started), it is still like that not quite as bad as when it first started. i have been susceptible to ring worm my whole life. I still get it but it doesnt progress very far, it never gets red or itchy and not very big. i wouldnt even notice it if i didn't see it. usually its in the pelvic area (especially like the underwear line). When i was younger i got it on my knee alot. i also am allergic to the cold...i get urticaria in cold weather or after swimming in cold water.
i have brown hair and brown eyes. i work in research and am starting medical school next august. I am intellectually intelligent but the past several years i feel physically weak. i obsess about my weight, i feel it looks unhealthy and wish i could gain more. endurance activities (like running) generally make me feel better and i like to walk a lot outside when i'm anxious. but very physically demanding activity like weight lifting makes me feel shaky and weak afterwards, i think my blood sugar drops.
oh and i should mention that most of my symptoms are always on the right side, or at least worse on the right side including the abdominal pain. i almost never have abdominal pain on the left.
sorry this has been a bit rushed and fragmented i hope i covered most of it.
again, feel free to ask anything i left out.
i havent taken any other doses of lycopodium. last time was maybe 7-10 days ago i actually can't remember. maybe it is the right remedy? but it certainly wasn't helping anything and i seemed to be feeling worse since starting.
btw the doctors say i most likely have 'IBS'

I am not positive about food aggravations but I think that dairy aggravates (I was severely allergic to milk as a baby
I would vomit and get fever if I even had a little butter, etc). I like to drink fresh juices that are mixtures of many different fruits right from the juicer, but this sometimes aggravates my ibs.
I dress nicely when going to work or out whatever, but I am not meticulous about it. Usually at home I just like to be in comfortable clothes, like sweats. I am not meticulous about punctuality or tidiness obviously its nice to be on time and neat, but no I am not meticulous about it.
I dont get a burning in my stomach with IBS.
In answer to the questionnaire
1. My main suffering is anxiety. I am not happy with the way I am (especially with relation to my weight and health) and so I get anxious and depressed. I do not enjoy the things I used to. My entire day everyday is consumed by trying to figure out whats wrong with and trying to fix it. But I already know that the real problem is exactly the fact that I am constantly trying to figure out whats wrong and fix it, lol. If I didnt obsess and worry so much, the other problems I suffer would most likely just go away. I dont know how to correct this compulsive negative thinking. I worry that I will never get better (always be this way) and also I have a fear of failing especially failing to fix myself.
2. Physical sufferings IBS [gas, cramping (sometimes), bloating (sometimes)]
Also, I have a pain in the upper right quadrant of my abdomen. It feels mostly like nerve pain and radiates sometimes to my neck, jaw (sometimes even the ear) and right shoulder blade. All of it on the right side. I dont think this is related to IBS. One time it was so bad I went to the emergency room. It felt like something was squeezing a nerve (other times it may be just a dull ache or a twinge). It was also causing me to cough but the sensation to cough came only from the right side and was not related to lungs or airways. The ER doctor said something was irritating my diaphragm and the phrenic nerve. But he didnt know what could be the cause because it was noy the liver, gall bladder or pancreas, which are the things that usually cause this irritation.
I also have dermatitis on the back of my neck, behind the right ear and on part of my scalp. I described it already. Also I have a large swollen lymph node on the back of my neck from the rash.
Occasionally I get low blood sugar.
My anus itches frequently.
I have oily skin on the face.
Weight loss.
I get very mild small (1 cm in diameter at most) spots of ringworm.
3.Mental sufferings associated with my physical sufferings are fear, anxiety, depression, frustration and anger and despair.
4. At my worst I either feel extreme fear that can grip me for days (usually not that long though) or I feel hopeless and despair about ever getting better or feeling happy, healthy, and good about myself. The fear is usually either because I think I have some deadly disease or fearing I will never feel better again.
5. I am not sure when it started. This particular episode started near the beginning of the summer. For the year before that I was doing quite well. But from 2005-2007 I was mostly unhappy, anxious and felt very bad about myself. In 2005 I think is when I first developed the digestive problems. The first symptom was I would get extremely bloated I would look 6 months pregnant sometimes! I would get crampy pain in the lower abdomen and this began to happen more frequently. Then I started losing weight. It was after this that I got very depressed and anxious because I could not put the weight back on and it made me feel some failure on my part and I became convinced that I must have a serious illness that prevented me from absorbing food properly and putting on weight. Really I only lost around 6 or 7 pounds, but for me this is a lot because I am naturally very thin anyways. I dont mind being my normal weight (maybe around 104) even though it is thin because I am just built that way and I dont look unhealthy. But now that I have lost weight I hate it because I feel I do look unhealthy and therefore I believe it must be some huge problem. Really it is probably just stress, anxiety and depression causing me to lose weight or not be able to gain any.
Anyway I gained some of it back eventually and weighed around 100 for the last year and half or so. Now in the past few weeks I lost again and weigh only 95.
6. I am worst right when I wake up in the morning and Im still in bed. I feel extreme fear/dred and anxiety. Not really about the day or getting up, but I because I am hit by that feeling of still being this way and still feeling something is seriously wrong with me.
7. Im not sure what aggravates my suffering, mainly I just make it worse by constantly giving it attention and dwelling on it. I feel better when I am occupied because I almost forget but these days it is harder and harder to fully occupy my mind with something else, it is almost NEVER not on my mind. I feel better running and even walking outdoors. I feel very drawn to the ocean (I dont live near one) and sometimes get the feeling that if I could just swim in the ocean everything would be better. But I dont feel the same way about fresh water. Even though I enjoy all water, I dont ever have the feeling that swimming in a lake would make me feel better. Crying sometimes helps my suffering and so does hot tea or drinks. (I dont drink any caffeine and caffeine actually makes me feel more anxious).
8. Not that I have noticed.
9. This can vary. I feel better in cool fresh air (even though I am generally a cold person) but sometimes I feel better sitting in the sun. Sometimes I like humidity but other times it gives me headaches and makes me irritable. Dry weather doesnt bother me. I never like cold damp weather.
10. I am generally pretty agreeable. I have a sociable and playful personality though I can be very serious and brooding also. Sometimes I get irritable. When I am very anxious I dont like to talk to people a lot. I can be easily offended and I tend to be sensitive. I am very good at keeping my negative emotions under the surface so Im sure no one could guess that I am depressed and anxious. I hold in a lot of emotions. I think most people think of me as being kind, amiable, sociable and humorous but also reserved.
-often before thunderstorms I get bad headaches and sometimes I get anxious.
-most of the time I like consolation but not all the time and I dont seek it out generally
-sometimes I am sensitive to noise. I can be sensitive to bright fluorescent lights. Not smells
-I cant think of any particular habits
-I am not married and have no kids. I have four brothers and sisters and I love them all. I am very close with my mom. I used to have many close friends and they are still my friends, but the relationships have grown apart because I have isolated myself. I feel that I am lacking in meaningful relationships with friends because this used to be such a big part of my life, now that part is empty. I do not have a boyfriend. I am too self- conscious and absorbed in my own crap right now to date. But this also saddens me because I would like to get married and especially start having kids very soon, but I feel like it is so far off.
11. I have two main fearsone is that I have some serious illness that has not been discovered yet (usually I fear cancer). The other is that I will continue to live my life this way forever. I just want to be better and not worry constantly about what could be wrong with me. The illness fear is exacerbated by the fact that I dont have health insurance and so I cant afford lots of testing etc, even if I did really need it.
- I have recurring dreams that I am running. Usually I am running from something but I never see what and I dont think I know even in the dream. Sometimes I am running through lots of rooms and upstairs etc, through complicated buildings. Other times I am running through a field I think. I also recently have been having dreams about being diagnosed with something serious and/or being treated with nasty things like radiation.
12. Im not sure I crave anything in particular. Sometimes I crave pasta. Sometimes I crave carbonated drinks but I dont really drink and soda or anything. I used to drink A LOT of coke. Sometimes I crave juice. I dont really like baked goods, like cake cookies, etc. I am not really a big sweets person. Usually I just crave good home cooked meals.
13. My thirst is good maybe a little excessive. It can get very excessive when Im real anxious.
14. My hunger right now is normal. A few months ago it was excessive.
15. Im not sure but I dont think I tolerate dairy that well.
16. Lately I have been sweating more that usual. My whole like I almost never sweated. Now I have been sweating quite frequently. I usually sweat the most on my chest. In the past couple months I sometimes wake up sweating at night. Not drenched, but my clothes are damp. I think from fear/anxiety.
17. My bowel movements are either clumps or round balls that can be hard to pass, or bulky somewhat loose stool that is a yellow/orange color.
18. I sleep ok but sometimes I dont feel it was that restful. For a couple weeks I have been waking up multiple times at night. Before that my sleeping was fine. I tend to sleep on my stomach with my right arm under me and sometimes my right leg pulled up towards my head.
19. currently I dont really have any sexual desires.
20. I have sometimes the peculiar sensation like I feel toxic. I feel it mostly in my eyes and head. When this happens I will feel the urge to drink excessive fluids, usually water to try and flush out the toxic feeling. Sometimes I also have the feeling that I am not balanced. Like the right half of my body isnt situated the correct way. This is hard to explain but I have only started feeling this way since I have had all the pains in the right ab/thorax region. I am very aware of everything going on on the right side, but I dont even notice the left (obviously because the left feels fine and normal).
21. I dont take any medications. I take a daily vitamin and Metamucil (fiber) that I just started.
22. running in my family is anxiety, depression and alcoholism all on my moms side.
23. Well I am 53, 95 pounds, I have very delicate features/facial structure. I look quite young, some people have said I look as young as 16. I have brown hair and eyes. My complexion is med-fair. I think I have a serious look. I am small boned (very petite like I said). I think in general I am pretty, not gorgeous or anything. But too thin.
24. my menstrual cycles are normal. Sometimes I have clots.
I dress nicely when going to work or out whatever, but I am not meticulous about it. Usually at home I just like to be in comfortable clothes, like sweats. I am not meticulous about punctuality or tidiness obviously its nice to be on time and neat, but no I am not meticulous about it.

I am too self- conscious and absorbed in my own crap right now to date. But this also saddens me because I would like to get married and especially start having kids very soon, but I feel like it is so far off.
11. I have two main fearsone is that I have some serious illness that has not been discovered yet (usually I fear cancer). The other is that I will continue to live my life this way forever. I just want to be better and not worry constantly about what could be wrong with me. The illness fear is exacerbated by the fact that I dont have health insurance and so I cant afford lots of testing etc, even if I did really need it.
- I have recurring dreams that I am running. Usually I am running from something but I never see what and I dont think I know even in the dream. Sometimes I am running through lots of rooms and upstairs etc, through complicated buildings. Other times I am running through a field I think. I also recently have been having dreams about being diagnosed with something serious and/or being treated with nasty things like radiation.
12. Im not sure I crave anything in particular. Sometimes I crave pasta. Sometimes I crave carbonated drinks but I dont really drink and soda or anything. I used to drink A LOT of coke. Sometimes I crave juice. I dont really like baked goods, like cake cookies, etc. I am not really a big sweets person. Usually I just crave good home cooked meals.
13. My thirst is good maybe a little excessive. It can get very excessive when Im real anxious.
14. My hunger right now is normal. A few months ago it was excessive.
15. Im not sure but I dont think I tolerate dairy that well.
16. Lately I have been sweating more that usual. My whole like I almost never sweated. Now I have been sweating quite frequently. I usually sweat the most on my chest. In the past couple months I sometimes wake up sweating at night. Not drenched, but my clothes are damp. I think from fear/anxiety.
17. My bowel movements are either clumps or round balls that can be hard to pass, or bulky somewhat loose stool that is a yellow/orange color.
18. I sleep ok but sometimes I dont feel it was that restful. For a couple weeks I have been waking up multiple times at night. Before that my sleeping was fine. I tend to sleep on my stomach with my right arm under me and sometimes my right leg pulled up towards my head.
19. currently I dont really have any sexual desires.
20. I have sometimes the peculiar sensation like I feel toxic. I feel it mostly in my eyes and head. When this happens I will feel the urge to drink excessive fluids, usually water to try and flush out the toxic feeling. Sometimes I also have the feeling that I am not balanced. Like the right half of my body isnt situated the correct way. This is hard to explain but I have only started feeling this way since I have had all the pains in the right ab/thorax region. I am very aware of everything going on on the right side, but I dont even notice the left (obviously because the left feels fine and normal).
21. I dont take any medications. I take a daily vitamin and Metamucil (fiber) that I just started.
22. running in my family is anxiety, depression and alcoholism all on my moms side.
23. Well I am 53, 95 pounds, I have very delicate features/facial structure. I look quite young, some people have said I look as young as 16. I have brown hair and eyes. My complexion is med-fair. I think I have a serious look. I am small boned (very petite like I said). I think in general I am pretty, not gorgeous or anything. But too thin.
24. my menstrual cycles are normal. Sometimes I have clots.

just as a correction-- number 16 is supposed to say my whole 'life' i never sweated. not my whole 'like'

Janey,
your personality is certianly not maching with lycopodium although some physical symptoms do match the remedy suggested.
the fact that you were having all the problems on the right side and have bloating of your abdomen might have been the reason why your homeopath had selected lycopodium as your remedy.
in my opinion, your present remedy is ARS ALB and this will help your to overcome the root of your problem which is the hypochondriacal conserns about your health and also the related physical symptoms.
your generals also match NAT MUR which may be taken if ARS ALB fails to produce long term effect.
for now, i would suggest you take ARS ALB 30C just 4 doses on a single day and wait for a week.
if, within the week, you notice a change in your mentals and physicals, come back here for further discussions.

just to remind you that all homeopathic doses have to be taken in empty stomach and clean mouth. no food or water one hour before or after.
one dose would consist of 4 drops in 10 ml of water slowly sipped up.
take simple and bland food for next 2 days.
refrain from coffee, mint, onions and garlic or any kind of essence in food or perfumes / deodorants etc.

Can i take in pellet form instead? if so how many pellets is one dose? and should i still take it 4 times in a single day? I think i am quite sensitive to remedies...
Also i should mention, i have taken nat mur several times in the past. (years ago). the first time i took it it helped VERY much but then i continued taking it and got worse (my symptoms were different though after taking it). i think i took it for too long, maybe too much.

if you take in pellet form, just take 4 pellets under the tongue as one dose.
take the doses only on a single day.
if you take the doses for long, you will lose the effect.
wait for 7 days after taking ARS ALB 30c.
if you are sensitive, you may have some aggravation for 2 days and then the cure will start.
if 30C potency dosesnt bring relief, we will go higher to 200c just one or two doses.
yes, like i told you before, NAT MUR may be your similimmum but you need to take it only on one or two days ( just 4 to 5 doses )
if you take more, you will lose the benifit.

Hello Rishimba,
I just wanted to post an update...
I was not able to get the ars alb until this past wednesday (the 23rd). I took 3 doses on that day instead of 4 because i didn't have time for 4. But i wanted to talk about some changes i noticed before i started taking the ars.
Starting last sunday (the 20th) i was feeling significantly better with regards to the anxiety and hypochondriasis. In fact tuesday (the 22nd) was the first day in quite some time that i did not wake up feeling anxious or scared. Then before lunch on tuesday i got a bad headache (right after having some diarrhea). My whole brain and eyes felt 'starved' that is the only way i know how to describe it. It felt kinda like i was lacking some nutrients. Anyway this headache lasted all day and night, and i woke up with it still the next day which was wednesday. That's the day i started taking als arb 30c. The headache actually never got better and by friday it was much worse. I felt hungover, but without having had any alcohol. Finally friday late afternoon the headache went away. I woke up fine saturday (yesterday) but about 2 hours later my head and eyes felt a bit 'starved' again. But i hadn't eaten anything so i ate some food then i went to walk around an open air market for about 1 and 1/2 hours. By the end i felt very sick... bad nausea and very bad headache. Again feeling like i had a bad hangover. It lasted for a couple hours, and the headache persisted (but not as bad) for most of the afternoon. I was fine in the evening and so far i am fine today, although today i again woke up with some anxiety in the pit of my stomach.
All of these changes started before i started taking ars. I am wondering whether the aggravation of lycopodium was wearing off and actually starting to give me some benefit, or whether lycopodium actually just made me worse and then the aggravation wore off so i was feeling a bit better. It's hard to tell real symptoms from remedy effects. Anyway i guess i will wait and see how i'm feeling after the full 7 days from starting ars. what do you think?
I still cannot have normal bowel movements. They are either too loose, or constipation. There is no happy medium. I try taking a fiber supplement but that just gives me loose stool that comes out too soon. But without it i just get hard clumps. However, i haven't had any gas or cramping or pain in the abdominal area. i have had some decrease in appetite. all of my ill feelings seem to be centered around food and digestion now. before i've eaten i feel weak and and sometimes nervous. but afterwards i get a headache or feel nausea or just dont feel well in general. and even if i dont feel bad after eating, food doesn't satisfy me anymore. It's like i don't feel full, or like i havent gotten the nutritional benefit from the food. i dunno, maybe there is some disconnect between my brain and my gut...

i should also mention that i started menstruating last saturday and continued all week and actually i started about 1 week too early. maybe that also had some role in the headache and ill feelings i had for all those days.
Janey last decade
let your periods finish and then you should observe your symptoms.
update me after a week so that we can try out a different potency if required.

Ok so here is what my symptoms are like 1 week after taking ars alb 30c...
In the mornings I wake up usually with anxiety and/or fear but once i get out of bed and start getting ready for the day etc. i feel ok. Around 2 hours after waking up either before having any food or right after having some food i have diarrhea that is yellow/orange in color. Right before this diarrhea i feel some anxiety. After the diarrhea I feel an emptiness in my abdomen, like a nervous 'gone' sensation and i also feel increased anxiety, a feeling of a loss of control, and sad, sometimes wanting to cry. This lasts for at least 1 hour and during this time i have increased urination. Then on most days (90% of the time) I will develop a bad headache and eye irritation, like my eyes feel very tired. The headache is often accompanied by nausea. It feels somewhat like i am hungover but i haven't had any alcohol. And i will have decreased appetite. This usually lasts all morning and for the first part of the afternoon. An hour or two after i eat lunch (although, often i'm not really hungry for the lunch) I will start feeling better and then i'll feel better for the rest of the day and evening. Then it starts all over again the next day.
The diarrhea is the only bowel movement i have, and only once a day. Normal bowel movements for me most of my life is once every 2 days.
I still have some pain in the right upper abdomen that either feels like a cramp, a fullness under my rib cage, or sometimes like tissue irritation. If it feels like a cramp, it is like the cramp you get after running. I don't have any other pain or cramping in any other part of the abdomen.
My doctor is not sure if this is IBS or not, it's not the characteristic presentation. He thinks i might have an overactive gallbladder... i either have too much bile production and/or release too much bile at a time. But this has not been confirmed by any tests. He says if that is the case, i may also have some mild ibs but he's not sure.
Regardless of any organic cause, I feel that long term emotional distress is what has set off this body imbalance/disfunction and i hope that homeopathy can help me with both. Feeling ill like this every single day for at least half the day is really taking it's toll and i just want to feel better. Plus, if i keep having diarrhea i will keep losing weight and i don't have much to lose.
Do you think i should continue with ars alb?

btw i usually have increased thirst during the anxiety and often crave water. sometimes i feel as if i need to flush out my system. i also like to take hot tea during this time.
at night i have been craving wine lately.

i dont think you should continue ARS ALB.
your symptoms now point more to NAT MUR.
please take NAT MUR 30C four doses on a single day equally spaced.
if this brings relief in the next one week, you should go for higher potencies of the remedy once the symptoms return.
as i have said earlier, you have a lot of things common with nat mur and this post of yours points clearly to nat mur as the peculiar modality of nat mur is 'worse at 11 am' and this is your chief modality of your generals.
i think you should try it after a few days once you are convinced that ars alb is not giving you relief.

Hello Rishimba,
Sorry it has been a while since I've replied. I never ended up taking the NAT MUR because I was continuing to feel increasingly better, especially the mentals. My anxiety and depression is almost completely gone (I have a little anxiety and sadness from time to time but not bad like before) and also I have been feeling much better physically as well. I wasn't sure if it was continued effect from the ARS ALB 30c so I kept waiting before taking any new remedy. The main problem I continue to experience is diarrhea and LOTS of gas all the time....it rumbles around my large intestine but is generally not painful. It is mostly on the right side and along the tranverse colon. And also I continue to have diarrhea, usually daily. The stool is somewhat formed but it is too soft and usually orange in color. My digestion is not complete and food is passing through my digestive tract more rapidly than usual. Like i said before, normal bowel movement for me is every 2 days. Right now I am going usually every morning, sometimes i go again in the afternoon. But the excessive gas and diarrhea with inability to gain weight are my only two complaints. Everything else is doing much better. The seborrhea that i had on my neck got very bad...it was all red and raw and irritated so finally i went to an allopathic doctor for some creams. he gave me an antifungal and a mild steroid. I applied both for about 10 days and the rash is gone.
Last week for the first time my stool went back to normal for about 5 days. Then it went back to diarrhea so on Sunday (two days ago) I took ARS ALB 200c just 2 doses in 24 hours. So far I haven't noticed any affect or changes and i still have diarrhea and lots of gas. I am wondering what you would advise next. I put my symptoms into the Remedy Finder and came up with Lycopodium. However, like I said before, i was initially prescribed lyc 6c to take twice a day and I felt it made me worse, at least in terms of anxiety. I cannot be sure that was an affect of the remedy though.
So what do you think will help to regulate my digestive tract? I will post the remedy grid that i got for my symptoms below.
I am not sure if lycopodium is a good idea or maybe if you still suggest nat mur? I will wait at least one week since i just took the ars alb on sunday.

i dont think you should take lyco now.
the symptoms again more look like that of ARS and NAT MUR.
especially, the orange stool which is unusual, is covered by NAT MUR.
for now, please wait for a week or so and then try some doses of NAT MUR 30C every 6 hours for some 6 doses and then stop. wait for next 7 days and tell me what u feel.

Hi Rishimba,
I am going to start taking the Nat Mur today or tomorrow, I just wanted to update my symptoms since I have noticed some changes.
I am still having diarrhea and gas. My stool color this week has no longer been yellow or orange, now it is green. And I am sometimes passing very much stool at once....it looks like my entire colon was full and all passes at once. Also I have felt starving half the time, even when I eat, it's like the food doesn't fill me up and I still feel hungry. I barely even feel the food in my stomach. And my blood sugar has been dropping low. Also, I noticed I sometimes crave milk. But i never drink any because i think i am allergic to it.
None of these symptoms are new, but I have not experienced them in a while. Except the green stool, that is a new symptom.
I will let you know how the nat mur goes.

Hi Rishimba,
It has been one week since taking 6 doses of NAT MUR 30c.
The day I took the remedy i had a relapse of anxiety at night before going to bed and then when trying to fall asleep i was 'jolted' awake a few times. This is a very old symptom. Anyway the anxiety only lasted a couple hours and i was fine the next morning and all week.
I had a headache for two days straight starting the day I took the remedy, except i think the headache started before i actually took the remedy. This is the same headache i have been talking about that makes me feel hungover. But after that I was fine all week. The gas went away completely and even my stool was almost back to normal.
Yesterday morning I woke up dizzy and then got that same headache again. The dizziness went away after an hour or two, but the headache lasted all day. Again feeling like I am hungover. It makes me very thirsty and i was sucking down water and juice all day. Also with this headache I have dry tired eyes. Today the headache is mostly gone but my head still feels a little foggy and my eyes are still bothering me. Feels like my brain is fatigued. But the rest of my body has plenty of energy if that makes any sense. Anyway, today i woke up and had diarrhea again. It was normal color though.
Should I keep waiting?

you are going through what is usually termed as 'a healing crisis' condition.
the indication is that you are having plenty of energy.
during this phase some old dreams and old symptoms also come back unexpectedly, which is a sign of cure.
do you think some of these things are happening to you?
please keep on waiting and when the old symptoms recur, a dose of NAT MUR 200C may be taken once in the morning.

Rishimba,
What is your opinion about liquid dilutions vs pellet remedies? Do you think one has an advantage over another? I'm just curious...

Janey last decade
liquid dilutions are definitely more effective than pillules.
a dose of liquid form of remedy would be 4 to 5 drops in some 10 ml of water slowly sipped up in empty stomach.
the liquid form gets absorbed better in the mouth linings provided its sipped up very slowly and spread up around inside the mouth every time you take a small sip.
