Worry, anxiety, fear, duodenal ulcers, right sided headaches, port. hyp. tension, varic. - Dr. Sameer help requested _{Page 6 of 18}

Sorry to disturb you Sameer but this is just an information.

Yesterday after my post at 11 pm, I had a troublesome right-sided neuralgic headache throughout the night. This is 10 am in office and it is still dying out. This was the usual headache but more.

My mother and I have this specific problem due to 'bitter' foods as you know.

Yesterday office colleague had brought 'bitter-gourd' ('karelaa') vegetable. With some courage I carefully decided to eat only 2 teaspoons. But still I had to pay the price with a headache.

This is the only reason I can think of for present headache.

Took LM2 dose yesterday night at 11:30 pm on 23rd Sept. 10.

Had to take 1 Crocin Pain Relief for headache yesterday afternoon.
The head felt very congested today. Burning in stomach too. Excess office work too. Had to take one more Crocin PR again.
Sorry Sameer. I just had no option. Still I will try to avoid Crocin here after.

Sorry, I know I should not post too early but this is the reason.
I have a strong ENT problem since 2 days. Must be exposure. Do not know how.

Pain and burning in left throat in the portion that connects to left ear. Same problem in left ear.
Left nostril stuffy. It has a boil perhaps. (It seems like Calc. proving in a way but I was already vulnerable.)
Yellowish-green discharges.
Bodyache. I also had to draw water from underground water-tank. Sorry.
Feel sleepy.
I feel have caught severe cold in this relatively hot season.
Head going towards feeling of 'inhibited' or 'congested' as earlier.
Aversion to air, draft of air, open air.
Left-sided headache coming up.
Tinnitus, especially in left ear.

I had loose non-sticky stool on Sat. 25th in morning. Watery-loose stool again in late morning. Of course, I felt tired afterwards. Loss of nutrients. It was like starting of ulcers. I was already anxious of results and I have this cold and burning throat now.

Sameer ji, I wanted to avoid medicines but I may have to take Crocin PR and even Cetzine. Things were moving much better but 'Ab bahut sardi ho gayee hai.'

Please comment if it can help.

I have avoided medicines. Took only 1/2 Cetzine but found it to be expired long back. Obviously it did nothing.
I was going to stay but have come to the office.
'Ab sardi pak gayee hai', 'Cold has got ripened...'
I shall take Lachesis and try to avoid other medicines as far as I can. I hope good effect of Calc. doesn't go.

I took dose at 10:40 pm on 28/09/2010.
Felt like I had fever through the night.
Pain/burning in throat on swallowing had started a day ago. It continues.
In office due to imp work.

I think the date of dose was wrong.
It was 27th.

Sorry I did not see your post for another dose. But that's good I guess.
I have not taken Lachesis LM2.

Lachesis has already made me quite worse:
Mentally worse, physically worse.
27th: Feverish, etc. Already told.
28th: Sleepy, bad mood. Sun causes trouble. Strong colours also causing trouble. Chilly again. Hardly any relief in throat. Trouble seems to die out of its own course.
29th: I am disliking draft of air even more. Stuffy nose. Changed voice. Sometimes hoarse, sometimes 'mucus filled' type.
Finally loose stools at 10:20 pm. May help in reducing cold but I am feeling exhausted now in an hour.

Some increase in appetite with slight emptiness but not of good type. Going towards increase of acidity now. Today esp. the good effects (related to acidity) after Calcarea have started to negate. Bouts of 'false' 'trans'. I just stop thinking and perhaps talking.

Honestly I am afraid to take another dose of Lachesis.

Just in case you suggest Calc. again, I will take it as soon as it is possible to do so because I am aware of the effect. If you advise anything else, I prefer to wait 1-2 days and report back to you.

Sameer ji.
I am really feeling more sick.
Throughout the night I had pain and burning in left ear and left throat.
Perhaps there is a boil in left nostril.
From throat downwards there seems to be inflammation and boils/blisters sort of...
I can write several points with specific observations which tell me that Lachesis is giving trouble. But I have to add too much text. It is perhaps not necessary.

Please reply what to take.

Dear Sameer ji,
It seems that either you are in travel or perhaps busy due to imp work so that you are unable to reply.

My condition is still pathetic after that one dose of Lachesis LM2 (but not another dose). Not much relief in throat and cold. Hoarse voice. Increased biliousness and acidity. Now there is a touch of indigestion. Appetite reducing.
Loose stools but slightly bilious now. Strenuous also. No freshness.

I even took Crocin Pain Relief today.

It was most preferable to get your valuable advice but since I do not see your posts, I am going for Calcarea Carb. LM2 today night. I shall give 8 hits. Then 1 drop in 500 ml. (Allopathic medicines are unlikely to delay enough till I get your reply.)

Before taking Calc. dose, I shall try to check your reply for one last time at night.

(From old Kent Repertory I see that Calc. follows well after Lach. and antidotes it.)

Oh. Thank God you have replied.

But just now at 11:10 pm it is already 4 days and I actually logged on to report that I have developed a diarrhea of last year.
This situation indicates more so of ulcers.
Somewhat bilious stools every few hours, esp. after eating....strange discomfort....rumbling and 'purring' in stomach...slight hollowness/emptiness in stomach and empty feeling in general (Podophyllum type of...how to explain...)
At the moment things are increasingly difficult.
Last year such a condition took the hell out of me. This year too till June mid. That time there was specific mental stress. Presently there no specific stress.

Please believe me, so many problems have suddenly started (in 4 days) after just this one dose of Lachesis LM2.

Maybe I am unable to convey enough info through this channel of communication but I am sure that Calcarea was helping me very well and I was about to give it a break for few days.

Please suggest a remedy fast. I am not going to office tomorrow. Will take rest. But I will also exert due to guest in our house.

Ok, it is now 3 days perhaps.
I will try my best to wait till tomorrow night. After reading your reply again I see that you agree to Calc. dose but after 4 days.
So if things remain same till tomorrow, I will take Calc. Carb. LM2. (I hope to manage with Bifilac.)

Due to continued loss/hoarseness of voice, general effect on ears I have taken Calcarea Carb. LM2 at night at 11:25 pm.
8 hard hits. 1 drop in 500 ml. One spoon.

This is almost 12 at night. 4 days after last dose.
Somewhat better but ears are highly blocked now, esp. right ear. Throughout the day I am nowhere near normal w.r.t. ears. This is the type of blocking one feels after the airplane goes up but mine is more in severity.
There is excessive office work. I have several observations to report but I am too tired.
Direct conclusions cannot be drawn either from my late night typing or from 'no negative comment about mental state' or anything else. But yes, through the whole day my voice is typical of 'cold' and people keep asking me about it. Nose gets stuffed up through the day.
Sameer ji, I will get back in a day or two.

Here is update Sameer (leaving off the 'ji').
External factors: Lot of office work but not unpleasant. So it was helpful. Heavily loaded but not stressed. I also requested Reiki. It can interfere but only positively with homeopathy and I think that's what happened.

Mental status: Good. (Ext. things helpful..)
I too do not know how things will go. We have to observe in the coming days...
1. I anticipate fear of discomfort. I have been traveling very less. I am still very anxious and worried if I will be able to adjust to the train/bus and then the stay elsewhere.
2. Fear of loss of parents.
3. Keeping aside the fears after surgery is still far away. I still lack confidence if I can face any harsh circumstances. I still need 2 orders of magnitude improvement.
4. Fear of exposure to cold and draft of air. But once winter settles I am very comfortable even though I have been a chilly patient. At each winter onset I have (had) bilious headaches once.
5. Since there are no sudden problems, esp. the acidity related, the desperation for medicines is not there except for recent cold.

Physical status: 'Sardi' still there. Voice improved but nose stuffs up, esp. the left one.
I wish to mention an observation. Long back, in 2004 perhaps my doctor suggested Lachesis for ENT. I took few doses of 30. The problem then shifted to right side and I did not have relief. I discussed of kali bichrom. since the trouble was at early morning and/or getting up. The doctor preferred Lachesis. In the past 6 months also I have taken Lachesis. It must have helped remove layers but this also holds that my problems DO NOT go from left to right. On taking Lachesis the ENT trouble shifts to right and on the right side, my body is unable to fight the cold/ENT prob. Excess wax in right ears, blocking, etc. are clear signs of such action.
Anyway let me continue the present state.
1. Stuffed left nose. Ear wax in right. (Right side probs. seem to be reactions.)
2. Since 2004 or os I am facing this tpyical 'cold' problem every winter or after Sept. Last year too I had gone in Dec. to another city at relatives'. The nose would be excessively stuffed and I found it difficult to even talk.
Along with this there would be congestion in head, headache, etc. If cold was dominant, it would left sided. If acidity was dominant it would be right sided. Presently cold is quite similar but less in intensity. But no headaches now!! (Esp. in last 10 days.)
3. Problem of acidity and dependence on Pantodac is nearly gone!!
4. Head feels 'inhibited' by 'sardi' 'cold'.
5. Expectoration greenish-yellow when infectious and whitish when better.
6. Tinnitus. Quite high constant random noise in ears.
7. Blocked ears. Open slightly once in 2-3 days.
8. The problem of vibration of head due to cold after talking much. It is increasing. Head region, lots of mucus.

Sorry for a long post. But thanks Sameer for suggesting good remedies in good sequence and I am much better now.

Should I take Calc. carb. LM1 next dose? Should I take 2 doses every 3-4 days and report back then? Please advise.

Took Calc. carb. LM2 first dose at 11 pm on 9 Oct 2010.
2 drops in 500 ml water, one spoon from that.

I will make specific comments:
1. I had forgotten two imp. symptoms. One was annoying left sided chest pain a day after taking Calc. It would be there for 2-3 days. Then, vertigo. It was aggravated by excess work on computer, lifting slightly heavy things.

2. I observe that you have advised LM2 now and I have started it.

3. In one day, there is good effect of LM2. I like it.

4. Touch of cold has started very early in city.

5. I am using same LM2 bottle used for father earlier. But each next dose I shall give 8 hits.

6. Sameer, thanks a lot to you for improving my health. I won't use better words right away. When more improvement has occured and a certain part (of improvement) is permanent, I will express more thanks and be able to tell about this to others with evidence! That is a better way of respecting your kind help.
But I do hint to my close relatives how my atomach is much much better.
Of course, I cannot tell too much for want of confidentiality. If I give details then you see I have expressed much about me and people talk many things. The matter of appreciation of help (by you) and of homeopathy is put aside. That is not to be done.

I shall look of right time and opportunity to disclose so many things to others.

Sorry I had to post status early and this may be a long post.
After Calc. LM2 (2 drops):
Day1: Slight feverish and some bodyache as expected. Slight head ache on left. Then expanding to stronger pain in left eyeball throughout the night.
Day2: Was Mon. perhaps. I always nearly need Crocin. That day I was about to take Crocin PR for left sided headache with eye pain but managed without it.
Day3: Ache trouble dying out so I further managed without Crocin. But then late morning in office I felt slight uneasiness and felt as if I missed few heart beats, I was down and sort of palpitation. (I am always afraid of sudden bleed at such times.)
Day4: Felt too light in morning. In between it had been cloudy and there were slight rains. I do not like it much. More esp. if it goes cloudy/rainy in 'Navratri+Dushera+Diwali'.
Importantly I had loose stool in office. Do not know why. Of course weather change may have affected digestion. But there also was anxiety of acidity.
Mood was off in afternoon and evening. Tired.
Finally I felt slight acidity so at 12 night I have taken two teaspoons of Gelusil. Due to emptiness I also have taken milk+ poridge at 12:15 night.
I am also sleepless. Thoughts of pending works. Anxious thoughts. Constant thoughts, unable to stop. Fear of going to acidity phase again. Fear of what aggravation I may have to face if I take Clac. or anything else. That is why I started the computer and decided to write post.

Sameer, at this imp point I request you to advise if Calc. LM2 another dose (only one drop in 500 ml) will help me or not. I just do not understand how much was aggravation/reaction of medicine, how much weather change, how much my deeper constitution or anything else...? But I am frightened.

While I managed eye pain without Crocin and that gave me slight confidence initially, now I am afraid of that pain again due to Calc.

Sameer please advise what to take (or not) and how.

I forgot to mention of the imp left chest pain. It comes intermittently but typically after 1 1/2 days of Calc. dose. It makes me uneasy. Can't say if this is due to heart or gastric region.

I glanced through my earlier posts. Somewhere around, let's say, 15th Aug. 2010 I stopped Pantodac. It is nearly two months now. Nice.
But I am anxious not to start again. Two reasons-
1. The fear that was being removed will remain.
2. Restart of Pantodac as mentioned earlier comes with side effect(s) and I am afraid of that too.

(Not taking of remedies of any pathy frightens me and taking too....)

Additional symptoms after last dose-
I feel somewhat bewildered by noises, talking, TV sound at home in evening. Some irritation too. This may indicate slightly high BP too. Wax in ears might add to it but I feel like Nux. Vom. in many respects.
After earlier Calc. doses I was less chilly but in last 5-7 days I am again chilly and afraid of draft of air and do not want fan.

This is 12:10 am (night). I am not sleepy again. I was having few symptoms and I just read a case here. That reminded me of how Cocculus had been prescribed to me and it helped also.
I paste it from recent post (Cocculus Indica):
'Sensation of hollowness, or emptiness, as if parts had gone to sleep. Feels too weak to talk loud.'

1. I feel as if heart has lost blood, skip of beat or near about, palpitation sort of - esp. on talking loud.
2. I have sleeplessness not different from Cocc. (I mentioned Nux. also).
3. 'Sensation of hollowness....' this has been my regular feature on riding in a bus/car/train, etc.
4. Vertigo has already increased much. It is generally more so with lack of sleep.

During my father's surgery, I had symptoms 1, 2 and 4 (3rd occurs more on riding). So my doctor asked me to take 2-3 doses of Cocc. Ind. 200c. It helped me of course. I have already mentioned (perhaps) how several months of left sided headache that started with traveling trouble (missing train, standing travel, missing meals) and ended in highly acute bilious viral fever ended after many months with 2 doses of Cocc. Ind. 200c and it had not responded to so many other homeopathic remedies.

I have this symptom since two days. Emptiness in stomach within 2 hours of eating. Feels ok first but I get anxious if it won't proceed to earlier state of acidity. Emptiness in evening and at night. Must eat something late night. (Not like Phos. right now. That occurs every year to me at onset of summer. I am desperate at that time for cool/cold food.)

Just information.
(Actually my mind is going towards Nux. and Cocc. but I am not taking anything without your advice Sameer.)
