The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Water Retention, Kidney Desease, Protein in the Urine
Hi there, I am really hoping I will be able to find some help here.I was originally at 190 lbs {after four children}. Working hard I was able to lose weight and come down to 160 lbs {in 2007}. In March of 2008 I started to gain weight. By January 2009 I was at 200 lbs.
January 12, 2009 I gained 15 lbs while sipping on a Cola and typing on the computer {I took a picture... one leg was regular and the other very swollen}. Every few months I gained another 10 lbs of fluid. I went to see my doctor many times ... 5 times in 2009 about this problem and she kept telling me it was normal. I contacted a homeopathic in January 2009 and asked her to treat me with one remedy at a time and she refused me. In January 2010 was up to 245 lbs.
I went to see my doctor again and this time she ran some tests.
I have a high protein count in the urine {normal she said is 0.15 and mine was over 6}, not enough protein in the blood. There is also blood in my urine.
I do not add salt to my food. I no longer eat dairy, or chocolate. I have not drank cola in many months and don't drink coffee or tea. I am taking a calcium/magnesium suppliment because my doctor told me that I was losing bone mass. I drink lots of water but don't urinate much {although I do urinate often... my bladder feels full but only a few drops to a couple of ounces comes out at a time}.
Is there a homeopathic that can help me?

I only have the liquid Byronia 200c at home... should I try that or wait until an order comes in? Thank you for your advice.

You were advised graphites at the following thread.

Did you try and what was the response?

Allopathic view is that blockage of kidney filters and high pressure tend to damage kidney a lot. They would prescribe immediately diuretic and ACE inhibitors to minimize the damage to kidney.
Set some target, how much you can time to give to homeopathy (weeks, months). Because if it is not able to help, everyday the kidney function is deteriorating.
Other point is that (one leg swelling, other not) can indicate not enough oxygen, while sleeping. Heart is starving for oxygen. Usually CPAP machines are given to ease breathing. Get yourself tested for sleep apnea, if homeopathy is not able to help soon.

I had forgotten that I asked for help in 2009. I took the graphites and the Nat Sulph in 200c strength with no results {but I did not follow food restricts of not eating junk food and drinking dark drinks at that time}.
I have tried order these products at lower strengths and am unable to get them here... ordering them online takes a long time to get to me... but I will try.
dhundhun, At the beginning it was only in one leg... after a few months it led to both legs and up my to my stomach. During sleps the fluid travels to my feet and face so that my feet and face are very round and puffy when I wake. After walking the water goes more to my ankles and knees and slowly leaves the face.

day 1
three doses of Graphites 200c at a gap of 4 hours
If that doesn't help within 3 days
day 4
three doses of Arsenicum Album 200c at a gap of 4 hours.
It is expected that you should feel some difference within next 4 days from day 4.

It is a strong case of use of diuretics to flush water out of body. If water is not flushed, it is load on kidney as well as heart and can cause significant damage if not taken care of.
There are homeopathy combination, which can help in flushing water are probably not hurt Dr. Kadwa High Potency medicines:

or else herbal will also be OK.
http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Water-Out-Herbal-Diuretic-100...
Or take prescription form doctor such as

And continue with homeopathic medicine.

Dear dhundhun
Please go through the following thread
http://www.abchomeopathy.com/forum2.php/168495/
and see what miracle Dr. Mohla did. Homeo remedies work when properly chosen. There the patient is hot ie like cold so Apis worked. Here patient is chilly so Graphites and Ars have been suggested. Let us see. This is homeopathy. So nothing is guaranteed.
i appreciate you for your knowledge of physiology and pharmacology. Your presence is good for enriching quality of discussions at this forum.
Thanks !!

Dear Kadwa,
Yes...Graphites is for obese people with sluggish constitution. As well as pitted / deformed nails. Yes... Graphites patient is chilly and constipated. No desire for bowel movement (sometimes for days at a stretch). Has pus filled or fluid filled skin eruptions.
An anti-psoric.
It should show good results.
Nat sulph being a bio chemic salt..can be given along side...as a supporter of the cause.
Best wishes

One more suggestion:

'Blood in the urine
and

Terebinthina is an alternative.
Normally employed as a mother tincture with excellent results.

Thank you everyone for desiring to help... I have been reading everything but am confused as to what I should take.
I am obese... yes. At least 40 lbs of it is fluid retention though. I have dry skin, itchy skin, itchy ears and I know they all work together to find the right remedy. Beans and dairy cause loose bowels and cramps.
Cola worsen itchy scalp and ears.
The most important symtoms are:
-large amounts of fluid retention.
-blood in the urine {not visible to the eye}.
-large amounts of protein in the urine.
-I eat enough food to maintain a 200 lb weight but not enough to maintain 245 lbs and keep gaining.
-Salt, dairy, cola, chocolate worsen the fluid retention.
-Thirsty often.
-Desire for salty foods.
-Desire to urinate with often little result. {feels like pressure at the bottom}
-I also have pressure like I need to move bowels and the doctor discovered I have what feels like a painful mass by the bladder {tests will be done soon}.
-I have at least 3 loose bowel movements a day {but I feel constipated}
-My bones feel weak and the knees are sometimes painful.
-I snore.
-Desire to be alone and not see people.
-Anger.
What one remedy should I start with? I want to be able to see what works and what does not.
Thanks.

Pl. go ahead and try what Kadwa has suggested.
Seems to be a gud way to start with homeopathic meds.
Meanwhile, explain in detail anger issues and confirm that you like a lot of salty foods.
Do you have hypertension ?? (high BP)
Any headaches ?? if so time span during which they occur ??

What is causing the anger ?
Do you have frequent outbursts
Or the anger is suppressed for substantial time and then it erupts in a gap of week or two ?

Are there any unresolved issues in your life that are causing continued / perpetual grief ?? (anger too).
♡ PANKAJ VARMA last decade
I have the Graphites 200c at home but don't have the Terebinthina 6c so I will order that.
My blood pressure is borderline high.... my normal it is 130/70.. it has gone to 140/90. I can feel the blood pressure rising when I feel stressed out. Headaches - I also have headaches when I feel stressed out, angry ... it seems to be part of the blood pressure.
Anger - I have outbursts but it is led on by something {my daughter being a teenager and testing my limits}, the doctor not willing to help with my health issue, or my husband not understanding what I'm dealing with. I feel angry.. I yell, then I walk away because I feel the pressure in my head. The anger is suppressed for a time then it erupts in a gap of a week or two! This happened a few weeks ago.. I could feel the pressure rising and I felt very emotional.. everything was setting me off. Then finally it was over and I felt fine... releaf, and joy again.
Unresolved issues causing grief/anger - I feel angry about gaining the weight back that I had lost plus 50 lbs {I was at 160... now am at 245}. I feel like hiding and feel angry when my husband pushes me to go out of the house, or when he pushes me to do things I have no desire to do. I also feel angry that my husband has lost respect for me because of the weight gain. I feel angry that my doctor just saw me as obese and refused to see any other problem until I cried in her office January 2010. I grieve my health, strength, sexual desire for my husband, and the energy I had when I was at 160 lbs.
Stress - the water retention and weight gain have added much stress to my life. I am also a homeschool mom so having the kids around all day everything adds some stress {thought I love it too}. My husband drives truck so having to deal with the kids all by my self adds stress as does him wanting to change jobs in a month. He plans to run his own business and is expecting me to do the paper work, finances, and payroll... and I just feel like I can't handle all of that right now.
Thanksf or your help.

I thought I would also mention.. I have these visions {like dreams but awake.. they come when I'm feeling overwhelmed}. I see myself diving into water and feeling free. I'm not suicidal. I'm not sure what it means... but it makes me feel calm, like if I could just dive into the water a swim it would all go away and I could come up... light, healthy, renewed.
