Sepia Female Questionaire - Overdose?? Page 3 of 4

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Rishimba,

Update:

I took one dose SEPIA 1LM on January 22.
I took one dose SEPIA 1LM on January 23.

The cramps I had been experiencing for the previous weeks subsides some, but then my urine began to smell foul again (mildly) and I had some eurethra and vaginal itching/burning/irritation off and on usually after micturation or BM.

On January 25 I had scary dreams of my bad marriage from 15 or more years ago. I have been very sluggish upon waking every morning since, and my dry feet have slowly begun to return. Also on the 25th, I had some pain in my neck and foggy brain and some blurred vision. I felt better after a BM that day, but then the cramps returned after going out into the cold air. The cramps were relieved when I came back into the warm house.

On the 27th menstruation began and brought relief to nearly all symptoms.

On the 28th I had a twitch in my right eyelid that lasted for about an hour, and I felt dizzy after a BM.

On the 29th I felt VERY Lonely and tried to break up with my boyfriend again. (I would reeeeaaaally like for this reaction to stop-it's getting very embarassing).

On the 30th I felt so lonely that I cried many times in the morning. (my poor son doesn't understand why I feel lonely when he is sitting right next to me).

On the 31st, my feet became more dry, but my boyfriend came to visit so I felt less lonely. Three red dots appeared on the end of my nose after a shower (never seen anything like it before). Only lasted 30 - 60 minutes.

Lastnight I woke about 4am with some anxiety.
Today I feel no physical symptoms still, but still some lonely and some anxious/nervous. Trying to decide if I really want to leave my boyfriend or if I'm just having an aggravation.

Any suggestion or just wait?

I have ordered the SEPIA 2LM for me and the PHOS 12c for my son. Should be here soon.

Thank you,
JBPeanut

once you have sepia LM2, you may take one dose everyday for some days. update me after a week.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

I have the LM2.

It is in the form Unit Dose Pellets. (all that was available here)

How do I take?

And what does 'some days' mean?

Note : Fatigue and 'infection' feeling not present this morning. Slight vaginal discharge after morning micturation. Urine did not smell.

Thank you,
JBPeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
please take one or two pellets as one dose under the tongue.

you may take it for 4 to 5 days or till you again notice a change in your symptoms for better or worse.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

I have not yet taken the LM2 pellets. I decided to wait until my menstruation came this month. It has come with no pain or emotional upset. But with some fatigue which is to be expected in my line of work at this time of year ( I am a bookkeeper and it is tax season).

I am open to taking the LM2 if I see my symptoms increasing again. While looking for the TUBER for my son, I found that the Laboratory from which my liquid SEPIA LM1 came, can also produce the liquid SEPIA LM2.
Shall I order that? So that I will be taking the LM2 in the same format as the LM1, instead of moving from liquid to pellets.

Also, this Lab will produce and sell these rememdies to me but they require a phone call or email from the practitioner for these potencies. Is there any way to work with ABCHomeopathy in this way since the remedies are not available through the website?

Thank you so much for all your time and help.
JBPeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
its best to keep LM2 handy, in case you have the symptoms again after a few days.

you can take LM2 in the same format.

i am not aware if the website would entertain any request for a prescription.

if the lab insists on the practitioner's prescription, you may try some other shop.

Rishimba,

I have found and rcvd the SEPIA 2LM

Took a few pellets under tongue
03/13/2010 1 pm

I experienced a mild anxiety a few hours later but passed fairly quickly. The next day I felt extremely fatigued. The fatigued came off and on for the next week but lessened each day.
In the month since I have had only very mild and rare aggravations in pelvis (bladder, eurethra, vagina, rectum), but have had days of severe sore throat and bad headaches (not migraines). The throat issues started as a small tickle as though a feather or dust were in my throat and lasted that way for more than a week, then gradually moved down into chest and currently I have a Terrible cough that racks my whole body and only just today has begun to produce any phlegm. The cough is made only Slightly better by eating, and is made much worse by transitions. By transitions I mean when I go out doors I cough alot for a while until I adjust to outdoors, when I go indoors I cough alot until I adjust indoors. Same thing for sitting up and lying down, and going to sleep and waking up.

My menstruation began this morning uneventfully - no cramping, no burning or irritation, no bloating.

I am wondering if another dose of the SEPIA 2LM will relieve this awful cough. It is becoming difficult to breath and I am panting even while sitting sometimes.

Otherwise I feel quite well... emotional and mental peace. Clear thinking, good sleep (when not coughing), good bowels. Loving with family and friends. Incredibly happy to be playful and peaceful with my son again.

I await your advice.

Many thanks
JBPeanut

p.s. my apologies for the tardiness of my response, work and computer troubles have kept me too busy.
 
jbpeanut last decade
yes, please take further doses whenever the symptoms are back. LM2 can be repeated several times without any aggravation.

Dr Rishimba

Request you to please go through my case as well

Rishimba,

For clarification...

you state to take further doses whenever the symptoms are back.

Do you mean just my symptoms for which I began taking SEPIA?
Or shall I take a dose for this cough also?

Thank you very much
JB Peanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
and if I am not to take SEPIA for this cough, do you recommend something I should take for it?

Note, I had bronchitis like this chronically from age 16 to age 26. Usually 4 times per year.

thank you again
 
jbpeanut last decade
Rishimba,

I am hoping you have a suggestion for a remedy for this terrible racking cough.

Does it look like a healing crisis that I should just wait through?

Or does it look as though I should take a second dose of 2LM?

I look forward to your response as I have been coughing for 3 weeks now and it is becoming painful and disrupting my sleep.

Thank you
JBPeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
to recommend a remedy for the condition i need to know the modalities of it.

also, the colour of the phlegm and the exact sensations.

i dont think its a healing crisis if its continuing for the last three weeks.

you should take the second dose of LM2 and if nothing happens, let me know the above details...i will try to suggest something for it.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

This cough:

I feel winded or breathless all day. The only time I am not coughing is during deep sleep.

Worse at night. One night I woke suddenly at 1am coughing and choking so hard for 30 minutes that I checked in the mirror to see if I was turning blue. But then was able to go back to sleep and did not cough for 4 hours.

No phlegm for the first 2 weeks. Only some phlegm now. clear, or slightly pale white. Mostly non-productive coughing.
Pain in center of chest (heart) while coughing. Sometimes all of the air pushed out of me so that I for a moment can't inhale.

Still somewhat aggravated by transitions as mentioned in previous post.

Aggravated by talking.

Improved by wrapping up in warm blankets and lying still/sleeping. At first it is difficult to lie down, but then everything settles, and I wake feeling better.

Improved slightly by eating. (I have quite and appetite right now).

I also feel an ache in my neck and shoulders and ribs, but I think this is muscle fatigue from coughing for so many weeks.

Others are shocked by the sound I make. My boyfriend is worried and has pressed me to go to a 'doctor', so I will see my western physician this afternoon in honor of his concern.

My mental and emotional states are very good. Bowels and digestion are good. I have none of the other symptoms that I have had in the past. Except for this cough I would say I am in excellent condition finally after all these years.

Can I answer more questions for you?

Thank you so much for your time.

JBPeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
you should actually take SEPIA LM2 every 6 hours till there is a reaction seen in the cough symptoms.

please take the doses as suggested...as you are very sensitive to potencies, you need to be careful and stop as soon as any aggravation is noticed.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

I took a dose of SEPIA 2LM today, but have not taken the second dose 6 hours later because 5 hours later it hurt to urinate. First time in a month.

I hesitate to take another dose, as it has been such a pleasure to be pain-free.

Please advise,

Thank you

JBPeanut

Also, my western physician prescribed an inhalant. I took one puff yesterday (24 hours ago) and one this afternoon (4 hours ago). This is a non-steroidal inhalant to be used daily for 2 weeks. (fluticasone propionate 100 mcg / salmeterol 50mcg)

This doctor diagnosed me with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

I do feel that the coughing is lessening.

thank you
jbpeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
sepia is covering the kind of cough and the modalities you have mentioned. sepia being your constitutional remedy, it will definitely act in acute symptoms as well.

if the cough is lessening its well and good or else decide if you would go for homeopathy or with your western physician's advice.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

After that one episode of discomfort after urination yesterday, I felt no other symptoms. I went to bed with only slight coughing. I slept very well and woke with almost no cough.

I am very pleased to know that SEPIA will assist in acute symptoms, as it it the most pleasant healing experience I have ever had.

I am also pleased to be reassured of this, because after reading the list of side effects from the inhalant, I do not want to take it anymore.

So, in taking the LM2 for this acute cough, should I take another (second for this month) dose today (24 hours later)? Or shall I wait and see how the single dose further plays out?

Thank you so much for your guidance. If feels so good to have a wise partner in healing.

JBPeanut
 
jbpeanut last decade
for acute symptoms, a daily dose of LM2 can be taken...however, you are a bit sensitive and thus i am apprehensive of an aggravation.

as a golden rule, wait and watch till improvement is going on..take another dose if you feel the cough is coming back again.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

An update.

In the month since I lasted posted, the bronchitis/cough went away promptly, but other old symptoms showed up. Aggravation?

6 days after dose I had uterine cramping for three days.
Then I had bloating/water retention for 3 days. with that came Very heavy sleep and pain in my left foot and some vaginal/eurethral burning after urination. Then add in blood shot eyes.

The next day a fever blister formed on left lower lip. (lasted 9 days) With this came phlegm in throat.

Then 10 days after dose a pain in my neck left side.

On May 13 menstruation began right on schedule. Flow was strong and I felt tired and a bit anxious about my work/career. Menst. lasted only 36 hours.

Next day I felt a migraine pain at the top right side of my head (lasted less than a day), also felt 'emotional' and nervous.

Next day I woke Very lonely and slightly irritable.

May 20 I coughed in bed during the night (just once) and had continued pain in neck and more bloodshot eyes, felt sleepy, but emotionally calm.

Today I am still tired and with pain in neck, have some vaginal sensations and some irritable.

Also general symptoms occuring most all month are : salt cravings, sugar cravings, slight constipation, hair falling out, hair growing very fast, dry feet and feeling distant from my lover(though that one is somewhat better past 3 days)

Is it time for another dose? Or do I wait and watch through another menstrual cycle?

If I do take another dose is there a way to take it without causing an aggravation?

Thank you so very much.

JBPeanut

p.s. My son is doing Very Well.
 
jbpeanut last decade
Rishimba,

I forgot to mention (ironically) that I have been having memory troubles this month also.

Usually small pieces of information like names (my clients, my best friend) often while I am talking to the person. Sometimes a single word, for instance my son will ask what is for dinner and I cannot say 'noodles'. Whole concepts are stable it's just individual pieces/words that go missing in the middle of explaining something.

Also, is there a chance that the SEPIA could create aggravation in my heart? In the past year the heart palpitations and irregular beats that I have known most of my life have increased. My western physician ordered cholesterol tests and EKG and Stress Test, but all found my heart and blood perfect. (they all looked at me like I was making up a story) It wasn't until after these tests that I thought maybe the SEPIA was acting this out.

I had only two heart flutters this month occuring about 7 days after taking the last dose.

Thank you
JBpeanut

I appreciate any insights or wisdom you can provide.

JBPeanut

p.s. My son is still doing very well. :)
 
jbpeanut last decade
as long as this potency is working, dont go to the higher potency. just take it whenever you need it or find out a suitable interval based on the recurrance of your symptoms as to what should be the frequency of the doses.

if this potency stops giving relief, you should switch to the next higher potency.
 
rishimba last decade
Rishimba,

How do I know if 'this potency is working'? For instance today (24hrs after last dose) I still feel fatigued. Does that mean I should take another dose today? Or do I need to wait longer for this potency to act?

I am feeling lost here. I took my best guesses over the past couple of months when I did not hear back from you, but I am feeling nervous about treating myself.

How do I 'find out a suitable interval based on the recurrance of your symptoms as to what should be the frequency of the doses.' ?

Thank you for your further guidance.
