Erika,
Good news. I finally got my period after 4 mos. That's probably why I was cranky. Even with just 5 hours sleep last night, I still felt good today. Will keep you posted.

Erika,
Just to update you.
It seems my energy is definately better on the staph. I'm trying to find the right balance, because sometimes I can't sleep at night.
The irritability is the same though and I feel like everyone in the whole world gets on my nerves big time. I think I'm more rageful than normal, yelling things at my family that I later regret.
Should I keep going with the Staph?

Erika,
I must admit, I stayed with the same plussing method I was using and went to a third cup. I just went to the third cup 2 days ago, and I've had like a chest cold going on, but last night I slept better.
It's the irritability and anger that is bothering me. It is the same as I usually have, but the rage seems more, I think. I'm flying off the handle over small things with my family, then it lightens up, but I feel annoyed with other people, but I don't express it to them. That's not very unusual for me also. I guess I was hoping when the energy got better I would feel a better sense of well being.

Elle - there are 2 options here for sticking with the Staph....either change the way of plussing or go up a potency.
When you go back to the mother batch you are always returning to the same point and starting again, which does not help reduce the aggravations that may occur even if you dilute further - you are plussing and then reversing.
If you go up a potency the aggravations may be relieved initially then may reoccur if you still plus in this way.
If however you go up in potency and it does not initially relieve these aggravations then you should change remedy.

I meant to write more and sent it too quickly...
Personally I think it may be best to go up in potency and to plus slightly differently as well ...:) let me know what you feel about this..:))

Erika,
If mother batch is succussed before each dose, I don't understand how that would be returning to same point. Each time you are going up in potency with the mother batch, then putting the teaspoon in the cups of water. I read this by 2 authors, Luc DeSchepper (the books previously mentioned) and Peter Chappell in "Emotional Healing with Homeopathy".
I have had like a cold for the past 2-3 days with body aches and don't feel well. Who knows, maybe a healing crisis possibly?
I am afraid to go up because before I went to the 3rd cup, I felt remedy was too powerful for me at 6C. I'm worried about acting weird at work. At home I can deal with this, but I was feeling eratic at work and I felt I was acting weird toward people, and I can't really be like that at work.
I think maybe stay the same for another week or so, then if there are no results, go to your plussing method. Hope you don't mind. I really do appreciate all your help.

Of course I don't mind - you are the one who understands your body best - go with it :)
I'll try and explain better about the 'going back' as I see it.
As far as I understand you are succussing the mother batch to go up in potency and then you put in cups and stir 20 times before taking - if this is the case then each time you stir you are 'plussing', very slightly, the remedy. After this you then go back to the potency you had before you 'stirred/plussed' (the mother batch) - honestly, in my experience, the stirring is plussing further.
If I were diluting/stirring into cups as you are I would always dilute on from the last cup rather than return to the mother batch and thereby always 'plus onwards' rather than go back.
I know several people who plus in the same way you describe and it works just fine for them, it is a brilliant method - it is just that I find very sensitive people still aggravate when doing it this way.
spk soon, erika :)

Erika,
For the last 4 days, the remedy does not seem to be giving any reaction. When I got over my cold I took, and I felt better for about a day and a half. Since then I took the remedy 3 times with no reaction at all. I have taken the staph 6C three days in a row back to back. Yesterday I took and instead of succussing once as usual, I succussed 3 times and took right from the first cup. I had been using up to 3 cups in the past.
Do I need to go up to 12C? Or should I try succussing more? Any suggestions? Also, is that okay that I took 3 days in a row like that because I didn't feel anything?

Are you feeling better than before your cold emotionally (rage and other symptoms) and are you still getting good energy??.. If so then wait a while and see if the improvement continues - if it does then continue with 6c when this effect wears off.
On the other hand - If you are feeling the same as before your cold (rage, energy and others) then you could wait a few days and if these symptoms don't shift then go up to 12c.
It's fine that you took these 3 doses back to back.

Energy not great, very nervous so that I don't feel like doing anything. This has been my problem in the past. Will buy the 12C to have on hand.

Erika,
Hi. I changed my user name for annonimity. Please notice.
I think the staph has lost its magic for me. I haven't been feeling like I was before I got the cold. I went higher with the potency and feel almost aggravated but low energy.
This has happened with the Dulc too. It was real good for about 3 weeks also, then nothing. Aggravation.
My energy is very low and I feel so irritable. I feel like I can't help myself some of the things I say to my family. They are put downs and belittling and plain impatience and irritability toward them. I'm embarrassed about it. I feel like I can't help myself.
As far as a new remedy, I've kind of exhuasted my options at this time. Could it be possible I need a nosode? I've had Med before and Tub which was a huge aggravation at 30C. Any advice would be appreciated. I hate this feeling I have.

I noticed yesterday the change of name and wondered if I had been calling you the wrong name! Glad you explained - I've noted it know and will remember :)
Re irritability - I will read back over your symptoms - are they the same as before or different?? any significant changes in them pls let me know. It could take me a couple of days to get back, or sooner if I get time, but in the meantime you could read up on Colycynthis and Causticum (both related to Staph - Coloc is more acute than STaph and Caust is deeper in this trio) to check through their symptoms. Colocynthis has a lot of anger but I haven't checked back through to see if they match your symptoms. spk soon, :)

Last night I slept 12 hours. Same with the night before. I was snoring my husband said. It felt like a deep sleep.
I'm trying the remedy again today, Wed., with 3 plusses to see what happens. The last time I took it was Mon.
I don't know if it is coincidence but I'm feeling hungry more, I think. On Monday I ate all day long. Don't get me wrong I'm an eater, but it seemed like nothing could fill me up so I ate and ate.
The irritability is slightly different. I feel more of an extreme dislike of people, very critical (not to their face). I feel like I don't like anybody that much. I feel more belittling to my family whom I love very much and also critical. The littlest thing aggravates me. Also, these feelings shift during the day. Sometimes I feel okay during the day, and then I get these feelings, back and forth.
Erika, should I wait a little longer on this remedy because I was sick? I did have a deep infection in my chest with the cold that lasted almost 2 weeks. My husband also had this so I don't think it was a healing crisis.

I've looked at the Caust. and Colycynthis before a long time ago. I will look again at them today. Thanks.
maryo last decade
you might be proving the staphisagria - leave a few days and take nothing...:)
erika last decade
okay. Will take nothing for few days.
Today I had a binge eating. I used to do this years ago. I had a problem with it. I usually never eat candy, but tonight I got out all the candy that has been there for a year and began putting it down. Weird. I also opened a bottle of wine which I never do by myself. Years and years ago I had drinking problem and eating disorder.
Will cool out for next few days with no remedy at all.

staph = ';stuffs with food'. i.e. comfort eating......so it is good to stop for a few days and check you are not proving. ADmittedly could be a return of old symptoms, but considering your other posts think you may be proving..
erika last decade
Erika,
Been off line for few days.
It is touch and go with the staph still. Some days I'll feel nervous and uncomfortable and I take a dose, and I do feel better. I went back to succussing just once about every other day. Once in a while I take it every day if I'm not feeling well. Before that I think I was proving as you said when I was eating and drinking alcohol.
I do think I am better with it than without it. It is not a miraculous feeling, but it sometimes seems to take the edge off of what I'm feeling as far as just uncomfortable in my own skin.
I keep going over the materia medica; it fits alot of things for me especially the mind. The only other remedy that fits me that closely is the Nitric Acidicum as far as the main mind symptoms, the Nit Ac being in all caps for many of these symptoms in the book. But is that more for an old nasty man type of thing? I also read it was for darker skin people. That's not me.
I guess I'll stay with the Staph because I do feel better with it. Since taking it, I haven't been laying around on the couch as much although it is summer. I always feel better in warmer weather.
I really have no idea what to expect from homeopathy. When I read the forum I don't see any real cures happening, and some people call things a cure, but from what I read it looks like an improvement to some things, not a cure.
I know you are a homeopath. Have you seen any real profound cures or improvements or is it mostly a small step ahead? I went to a homeopath for a year and a half, and she lead me to believe that some miracle was going to happen each time she gave me a remedy. She would not give me any information about anything she was doing including what remedy she was giving me. I'm the type I need to know everything. Without the information it was hard to trust. I was so desparate that I stayed with her for 1 1/2 years, with no improvement only severe aggravations. She denied it had anything to do with the remedies. Now in hindsight, of course it was.
I think if I were to go to a homeopath again, I would be very selective.
Will let you know as I go. Bye.

Hi - good to hear from you again and glad you're progressing with the Staph.
I know what you mean about homeopathy - as a patient and a homeopath. Cure is an elusive thing - what is cure?
Improvement is positive and if it continues then in a few months one can look back and realise how much better life is than it was a few months ago - that is progress!!
I never promise cure as it is a subjective thing and everyone thinks of 'cure' as a place to be with no illness whatsoever (is that possible? Maybe!?) BUT I do know that homeopathy will help people get more quality of life - having said that there are some people who do better on acupuncture, osteopathy or herbal, or other, than homeopathy - this is individual. One important thing is honesty and rapport with the therapist - you cannot feel better if someone else is in control of your destiny and telling you what to do!!! You have to be able to make the choices to decide what you want - it seems this could have been the issue with your homeopath?
You asked about Nit.Ac. - Like all remedies I love this remedy, and no, it is not just for grumpy old men!!! (being a grumpy old woman myself I can sincerely say it is also not just for grumpy old women!!!). You need to check the modalities of the remedy as well as the mental picture to see the fit, esp. in cases of fatigue - I will read up on it and check it out with you.
All the 'acids' in homeopathy are good for exhausted states - with nit. ac you would most probably be craving the fatty foods for energy and could be very litigious not just crabby! Also with nit ac you may be prone to have some cracks or fissures around mouth or other orifices of the body where mucus membrane joins skin...
Have you thought of trying an LM potency in the remedies? This potency is wonderful if the remedy is well inidicated and you are very sensitive.
bye for now, erika
