This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I had purchased some alcohol from homeopathy shop that is used to make medicines. Will it do? It may be tough to find Vodka.

Yes, that is even better.

In a bottle, I put 40 ml water, 10 ml alcohol. Then, I put exactly 1 pill of Staphysagria LM3. I could clearly see it landing in the liquid in bottle even though bottle is brown.
Then it dissolved in a minute.

Dear Sameer,
Kindly suggest how to take dose at the earliest.
My stomach (esophagus, gastric region) has been aching a lot today. Strong pangs of pain, the same 'injured' type.
 
sci_spi last decade
1 drop (one drop means ONE) in 500 ml water, stir and take a spoon ONCE.

Report after 5 days.
 
sameervermani last decade
I took the dose at 11:35 pm (10/8/2011). I am a bit concerned for 5 days. There are festivals. I will try to be patient.

Not so well till now. Nothing like an aggravation or improvement. On 11 Aug I felt that the ache was little less. But that may be wrong and condition dependent. 11th evening and 12th I had few strong pangs of pain in left chest region. So much so that I put thumb and pressed it to get relief. It was almost making me hold the region and bend with 'Aaahhh'.
13th, today was a holiday. Though I wasn't sleepy in morning time and even by 4:30 pm even after heavy lunch, yet there was not much energy. The condition of my neck and posture, etc. has deteriorated much. And then there is effect of remedies, age and a lot of overall deterioration of health. Not to forget separate role of ears. I mean there is regular loss of balance and vertigo. Only that it is not 'very' severe,.... yet.... Good exercise for several months is needed to pull back the situation a bit. But I haven't been able to do anything like that.
As I type this at 11:30 pm, the chest pains occasionally. Even though there didn't appear to be an indigestion, I wasn't comfortable in lower abdomen and feared acidity, so finally I took Pantodac now.

Please note that here it has been raining since 4-5 days. Hardly any Sun. Cloudy and cool. My city is not hot, humid in rains, esp. when rains set in fully. During this weather, I have felt very cool in morning. I have been wearing jacket that has comforted me from morning till noon. But nearly all others do not feel so chilly. I am sure this is due to my very low vital heat.

My sexual vigor is nearly lost. While I always wanted to reduce it but now instead of a proper decrease of excess desire, the strength or force is totally lost and this desire has rather become wanting. This is not since 3 days but since last several weeks. The testes have become really very small. I have to 'find' them by moving fingers on scrotum. Penis has become small. (Since several weeks)

11th I felt feverish. I thought it was an aggravation like earlier doses of Staphysa. Then I used to feel better. But I kept on feeling chilly. I managed to avoid Crocin PR. Next day I again managed to avoid. Today, I took it out but managed to avoid it. But tomorrow I am likely to take it if I don't feel 'lifted'. I still keep looking for something that will keep me 'elevated' or 'lifted' in 'mood' and 'energy' and 'stamina'. The liver remedies used to do that well, if only, temporarily, for a week or 3-5 days....While that may not have helped me permanently, I used to get few good days a month.

Presently I perhaps have the advantage that some funny problems are not there. I had had a bad cold previous year that wouldn't let me speak, stuffed up...I also had something like 'piles' 'fissure', some nodule on mouth of anus that cropped up after I took 2-3 medicines suggested on forum. The left sided headache has come under control. The right-sided headache, that has been mine and used to be severe has been in control. But finally I hope, these things are not at cost of an overall decreased vital force....Hard to say which trouble is better....

A dull troublesome ache has started in left testes in last few days. It keeps lingering there.

Dear Sameer,
While Staphy seemed to be still okay to me and I was very hopeful, LM3 will subside the 'injury' pain in left chest and abdomen, it hasn't been so yet. This makes me think that I should take 3 continuous doses for 3 days (in 250 ml water or more drops in 500 ml). Should I do that? If Staphy should still help, then I think somewhere something is missing. In your language, if 'freq' is correct, then is there some problem with 'amplitude'....? For some reason, remedy is not 'resonating' well. Or, maybe, 'freq' is not so correct....

Oh, it is a terribly long post.....sorry.....

Go to 1 drop in 250 ml, a dose every 3rd day for 2 more doses.

8 hits before each dose.

I cannot stop. I must write about dryness of body too.
1. My mental state hasn't been too bad. The head doesn't seem too heavy with stress. Overall 10-20% improvement but largely also accompanied with office conditions. But the physical state is, I should say, quite bad. This 'feeds back' on mental state. It doesn't let me do anything and makes me worried for events coming up and pending jobs. This brings the mental state terribly down. Improvement quantity of mental state (and its rate) is far too less to overpower the 'low' of physical state (and/or its rate of drop).
2. The body has been utterly dry while the entire weather is rainy, moist, cool. Dry, so much so that chest hair cause trouble due to friction. Finally I had applied a bit of coconut oil yesterday.
3. No perspiration in last 7-10 days. I even tried to avoid soap for 2 days to combat dryness. (The body doesn't give any odor at all since there is no sweat.) Water does make it more dry.
4. Looking at other person, I too squeezed 1/4 lemon in bowl and put water and drank. But it is showing effect on throat today.
5. Our room has become very moist. Not so suitable for sleeping. But I can't help. We must wait till the Sun is out.

So I shall take more doses.

Dear Sameer,
I have high fever.
In morning I had some feeling so I had already taken Crocin PR at 11 am. Earlier, I had done mopping of house with wet cloth (but warm water). Later we went to relatives. While Crocin PR sustained me a bit I finally picked up quite a fever by 4 pm. Then we have come back and at 6:30 pm I frantically took Stahpy. LM3 (1 drop, 250 ml).
I am feeling really sick. In such situation I normally resort to anything since i feel very sick and also so that my mother can't know. It is going out of control however. Kindly forgive me if i take any medicine, or else please suggest immediate remedy.
I feel chilly. It feels that cool breeze is flowing on legs and discomforting me. Fever with pressure in head. There is pang of chest pain. Difficulty in sitting for TV. Body aching. I feel like stretching again and again...Maybe it needs Rhus Tox. Don't know. But plain Crocin is for sure.
I might not be able to post much.

Oh! since several years, I am always not well on 15th August. Again, this time....
Please suggest something....fast....

hectic fever. heaviness and ache on forehead. aching joints.....very difficult to tolerate...


 
sci_spi last decade
A fever after a remedy can happen, and no homeopathic intervention is to be done.

You can take crocin if absoutely needed.

Try to think of what is the worst that can happen, you will have fever for 2-3 days, and then it will go away, there is nothing to be so panicked about. Calm down, and face it with strength, and remember the power to be better lies within you.
 
sameervermani last decade
Dear Sameer,
Firstly, thanks for the wonderful encouragement. That was very kind of you.
But I was compelled to something else. I am cutting brief a very long post with lots of details and explanations. Everything cannot be described here and I hope you will understand my situation and forgive me on this. Rather I request you to suggest the next best step now that I compellingly did it.
What happened, what I did:
On 14th, I had taken Crocin Pain Rel. in morning and normal Crocin in evening. But fever and achy head became intolerable. I couldn't sit, sleep or do anything. Movements in front of eyes were intolerable. I was sure it was because of wet weather. I thought of antibiotic but none suits me. So, I thought of doctor next day. But trouble was not coming in control even by Crocin. So, I put 1 pill of old Rhus Tox 30 in 120-150 ml and took a spoon. Something must have improved but still picked up fever and I was having troublesome repetitive dreams due to it so I took Crocin again.
Next morning on 15th Aug, I could not go out with family for Indep. Day celebrations. I got up with sickness but doubtfully felt that it had slightly reduced after Rhus and Crocin. I called for Rhus Tox 200 and at 12 noon, I took one spoon. Later there was less achyness in head. I picked up fever after sleep by 5 pm. Oh! no, nothing like Lachesis....So, I took Crocin again now. I was not in a position to wait for anything and follow any rules. After that I started feeling much better. Not only the body ache reduced but also fever and also headache.
Next day, yesterday, I got up with some right sided headache, the old type, on one line/nerve. I did not go to office. Anyway I took Crocin Pain Relief at 5 pm. Later I had perspiration and disappearance of fever. For several hours, till 11 pm, I felt well. The face and neck still tended to get warm but it was okay. Then, I slept well.
Today I decided strictly to stay at home and not go to office. Since morning, I again have slight right-sided headache now. No fever as such or no body ache.
 
sci_spi last decade
Dear Sameer, kindly note that earlier I used to to be able to tolerate headache and fever a lot, but now my vitality is so low, I just can't tolerate. As soon as fever picks up beyond a certain level, almost surely accompanied by headache if due to 'cold', then, it is not bilious headache and whatever it is I just can't tolerate it. With such sickness coming on, my mind and body drop the weapons. I can't follow any instruction, I can't listen to anything, I just want and 'need' immediate relief. I would be happy to take anything of allopathy, but alas! there too, there is no surity. Of course, all other times I am trying to fully co-operate with prescriber as I have, with you, since long, and of course for my own good.
 
sci_spi last decade
Please note changes after Rhus Tox 30 on 14th and Rhus Tox 200 on 15th:
1. There was fever and aching in 'joints' like rheumatism, arthritis or Chikungunia. It has reduced considerably.
2. I am sure, there was some suppression sort of and I was having less quantity of stools and producing false very scanty 'white' expectoration. After Rhus, there was a relieving cough and the deep expectoration came up, the 'greenish yellow' one. Also, I had loose stools. Normally I have seen that the start of cure of 'cold' is by loose stools, esp. after antibiotics. Also after homeopathic remedies. The dull body is not able to produce strong expectoration through nose, sinuses and reacts in this manner only.
3. Mentally no special trouble till now. Rather I feel free and relieved in joints and body ache. The only thing is that Rhus has brought out that right sided headache. In the past 2 months, Crocin Pain Rel wasn't helping much in headache but yesterday, it helped very well and brought full relief in right sided headache. It has started to act again. Draw a long line in the middle of right side of head, that is it. There lies headache. The pain is similar to when a nurse 'flushes' a blocked, clotted blood vessel with IV fluid (on the hand). It is very painful.
4. That pain on that long line in the abdomen on left has almost gone for now. The pain was reaching left side of mouth of anus. I could feel that the entire line on left had a 'single' connection. Rarely I do have slight chest pain. Well, that is how it is at the moment.
5. During these 4 days, I haven't taken Pantodac. No, nothing to celebrate. I have lost habit of Pantodac too. And due to low vitality, when I start it again, I face problems. It still becomes unavoidable at times.
6. If the well-known right-sided headache continues to linger there everyday, then I will require your help Sameer to repair the damage. I can't take Cro P Rel everyday even if it gives full relief.
7. Vision is much clearer except for rt sided headache.
 
sci_spi last decade
Sameer, it is rather natural that from the forum description, far away, one would feel that dose of Staphy. has eventually caused an old problem to crop up. But if you for a moment believe in my understanding, this has been an acute problem due to wet weather. Please note events of past week:
1. It has been raining and cloudy. Occasionally I would get slightly wet in spite of all protection.
2. One evening, at around 7 pm I took bath. The weather was not good and suitable for that. My body temp may also not have been correct as I had eaten evening snacks 15 minutes ago.
3. On 13th, we were invited for meals. The sitting was outside in verandah, cold and wet.
4. As I have said, our bed room condition wasn't good since due to clogging of water, walls got wet.
5. On 14th morning, I did hand-mopping of floor in house with (warm) water. ('Haath se pochhaa')
There are strong reasons for me to believe that I was affected acutely by wet, cool, weather.

If by any rare chance, all my trouble was due to Staphysagria dose, then, we can still repeat it, taking care that I am able to tolerate such (an unlikely but) possible reaction. Maybe LM4. Also, in that case, the problem should not occur in next such weather or should have very less intensity. Otherwise it is not shown that Staphysagria has helped the constitution. Why I am apprehensive about all this please read in next post.

Let me not forget to mention that things got a real trigger when I drank that quarter lemon juice on 13th Aug. I am very sensitive to sour foods but particularly, if the lining of digestive tract gets affected by concentrated lemon juice or citrus fruit or anything sour for that matter, then it is hard to prevent mishap.
 
sci_spi last decade
So, if i go back to history to tell my reason for apprehension, it is this. It may always have been a part of my constitution but I can remember this problem coming in nearly every rainy season as follows:

1. Just next year to surgery I had great pain in groin, testes first time in life. It was July then.
2. Then I had another severe bleeding episode after 2-3 years. Then till 2000 things were in control for some reason.
3. In 2000 I had to participate in a religious ceremony. We moved for 2-3 days in rains getting wet and less clothes. All the group fell ill after that, but of course, I too surely fell ill due to rainy, wet, cool weather. This was July.
4. In 2001, we were on site-seeing in July. We got quite wet for 2 days. My Hb was also already known to be less at 10.5. On coming back, I fell ill. (My homeopathic doctor asked me to take Lachesis 30, then.)
5. In 2002/03, rains were less in July. Also, I had ulcer problems somewhere from July to Nov. My doctor suggested Rhus Tox 30 for fever and ENT trouble. Earlier also he had prescribed it in the past. But after ulcer, other things were lost.
6. In 2004, there were heavy rains. We went outstation not too far away. It was all cool, wet weather. My doctor was in that city. I went to show him. There was 'cold' already and feverishness. I also added the problem of foul smell around penis and scrotum. He added that he could already recognize that by seeing my constitution. He gave me Cham 200 and Arg. Nitr. 200 alternately. He also gave a 'single dose' of something. After finishing those medicines for 2-3 days, I was supposed to take my LM potnecy. I had a severe headache. Very very severe. But I could stand and be on a railway station at 11:30 pm for a relative.
7. In 2005 it was not rainy in city. Accordingly I was spared the axe by God.
8. In 2006, in June it was rainy. I had to go to Mumbai for some work. It was somewhat rainy there. I caught high fever with headache. My doctor asked me to take Dulcamara 200.
9. I don't remember exactly but later in July in 2006, I was again sent for work. I missed train, changed many buses, missed meals and 'also' - I got wet. I caught severe 'viral' fever with very severe headache. So much so that I vomited 2-3 times in two days just due to headache. There were moments when I thought my head would burst open. Rain was much involved. Later in 2006, I was again ill due to rains.
10. In 2007, I consulted a classical/traditional homeopath in person. In July I got wet. He prescribed Rhus Tox 30 first for my fever and then something else when it did not improve in few hours. But he had asked me to keep Rhus 200 ready.
11. In 2008, I had ulcer during June end so rainy season problems got mixed up. I was not only weak but also my vitality had decreased considerably. There were too many problems.
12. In 2009, the rain/wet/cool problems got diluted due to career problem.
13. In 2010 rains, whatever has happened is perhaps noted in posts. There were positive moments I guess due to Calc. Carb.

We are seeing problems of '11 now. So, irrespective of other things, the rains have been causing trouble since long time. Also, the problems tend to occur/cluster on festivals. Now I am already afraid of Navratri, Dushera, Diwali.

Every onset of winter since about '03 I have been having this problem of stuffed up nose which does not let me do anything. It gives a pseudo indication that body is fighting which it could not during rains. But no. The vitality is just unable to throw out nonsense no matter what I do. Well, there must be lot of text from me already on this. I won't write on this winter problem at present.

Dear Sameer,
Your comment was awaited. Maybe your are busy.
In the mean time, I went to a room in office yesterday afternoon where there was 2 ton split AC set at 26. I had my jacket. But I kept feeling very sleepy. So much so that I would fall down from chair, almost. Obviously I felt a little too cool but did not bother due to jacket. At a point after sleepiness, there was sudden perspiration. After about 2 hours, my voice became quite hoarse.
Now the AC may have aggravated the situation but almost always, such a viral fever always runs its course in this manner for me. Fever and 'cold' are always followed by hoarseness and loss of voice no matter what medicines I take.
I have cough. Not much but deep hollow showing presence of expectoration deep down.

Again if I am to be believed, the illness is running its usual course as my experience say and except for some comfort from medicines like Rhus or antibiotics, it just keeps following the same course.

Imagine a person terribly affected by sting of thorn of a poisonous plant or an animal like Aconite or Rhus Tox or scorpion or bee/wasp or.... Lachesis for that mater.... The person moves around somewhat 'intoxicated' for several days there after.... This is the kind of viral fever that affects me often... The viruses (or bacteria?) 'poison' me.

Dear Sameer,
Surely there's a lot of text put by me but I observed and recalled and wanted to convey how I always have typical problems in rainy season.
Perhaps I was trying to justify too hard why I took Rhus Tox 200.
But as I said, things were beyond control and I had not seen your post. And believe me, the trouble had become intolerable. Well, such a thing can happen rarely.
Now that I can think a little bit, I request you to guide me further. Should we start Stahpy. LM3 again and when?
 
sci_spi last decade
Go to Staph LM3 again, 1 drop in 250 ml, a dose every 3rd day for 2 more doses.

SIX hits before each dose.
 
sameervermani last decade
So much Thanks, Sameer.
Today morning (Sun) I got up with some overall headache on top portion, slightly on left. But cough and cold and voice were little better.
However, I got up with a great pain in back behind heart, slightly lower, slightly to centre+left. This has been a strong 'injury' pain. I have been feeling as if somebody has stabbed me in the back through the day. - THIS IS BEFORE THE DOSE. It increases on deep breath.
But I already took Staph LM3 dose at 12 noon.
 
sci_spi last decade
I lost a long reply due to loss of internet connection.
 
sci_spi last decade
So, Sun, wed I took doses.
1. I had fever on Sun night that I fought out as advised. It subsided late night.
2. There were other problems like headache on getting up but subsided after start of diarrhea.
3. Yesterday evening after office, I felt something coming up between neck and chest. I was quite worried rathar than frightened since I felt that had it been stronger, I would almost die. The heart would just give up even before anything else like bleed in esophagus would take place. It is very hard to explain. I need a phone for this.
4. Mentallly I am 15% better but again office conditions have been quite helpful and not pressing. I still have the 'Silica' dread of office works, if I may say so. I still doubt if I will show any better improvement if the office conditions change.
5. So, it has been very confusing. I think another dose of LM3 will just pass time and confuse us. Should we go for LM4? If you ask me, things will almost always be confusing till we reach LM4-5 in whatever remedy we want to move forward with.
6. I have dull aching in left back today. Very less. I will take Pantodac today also for 3rd day. Actually I had to take it 2 days since I had to eat in mess/cant and it was spicy, so it caused acidity that evening.
7. I am having dirrhea since 3-4 days that seems to relieve me from headaches since it seems to throw off 'matter', thus reducing acidity and 'cold'.

Sameer please advise, I am very confused about my state.
 
sci_spi last decade
I for got to menttion that I had a lot of dry coughing, rather difficult to control during Tue Wed. Yes, this was like old cough that I used to have long back, eps. in night but all this would be helpful only if I feel well mentally and this cough does not trouble me with same intensity again.
 
sci_spi last decade
After 2-3 loose stools in 2 days, I am again having something in left chest and back region.
Also loss of nutrients is again making me sleepy on holiday (Sat.)
I had been mostly on computer for past 2 days. This is increased loss of balance when sitting on 'flexi' seats or in bus or when turning head to reverse the vehicle.


There has been some improvement in physical speed though, like when I pick up things, etc. Mentally the physical and mental stress/tension on head is lesser but sometimes it comes. It has also been due to weakening of eyesight.

It is hard to tell what is going on. But I do not mind going ahead with Staphysagria LM4, I mean higher up.
I must agree however that there is no lagre improvement to know that 'this' or 'that' remedy works.

Continue dosing with LM3. Same number of hits and same number of drops.

Report after 2 more doses.
