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

Hi Erika,
As far as the Nit ac goes, I have problems with people at work and have had issues with neighbors. On the other hand, I have sympathy for the helpless and for the suffering of others.
Other similarities are anxiety about health, fear of death, disease, poverty. Hypochondria. Irritable, angry, cursing, selfish. Chilly, warts. Love fat (as a child I ate the fat off of everyone's steak). I must admit, although I rarely eat red meat, I'll eat my husband's leftover steak with the fat and salt.
Problems with milk. Cracks in fingers.
Estranged from family.
Complaining, depression.
Sycosis. Sensitive to noise. Worse in cold, wet temps. HATES the winter. Fear of thunder. Mercury abuse.
As I told you before, I took a dry dose of Nit ac 12C and got extremely nasty that day. Maybe it was too strong?
As far as the LM, that is the dose I'm striving for, but I think it's too deep for me at this point. In the beginning of treatment, I was given a dose of Thuj LM1. Up until that point I had problems with pains in my arms, neck and hands but never my feet. After that dose of Thuj, I got pain in my big toes. It stayed for a long while and has eventually gone away.
I was reading more about that drop dosing (not sure using right words) which you spoke of. That is probably another option for me. Sometimes the staph works in a matter of 45 minutes to make me feel better, and other times I'm not sure if I've taken too much or not enough. Namely, the irritability and uneasiness in my own skin.
For many years I've taken very good care of my health, but it's never been enough. I eat alot of organic, good diet, exercise, supplements - always looking for the answer. I've tried accupuncture, herbs, etc. If I follow rigid practices, I do get relief, but there is still always that edge (as my husband calls it). I'm also spiritual which gives me hope.
For now I'll stick with the Staph see what happens. Bye.

Hi
I think if you had problems with the one dose of 12c then Nit Ac is probably not for you. I will continue to study your case while you continue with the Staph.
The LM potencies are just fine to start with - as long as the remedy is well indicated. LMs are used by some homeopaths in preference to all other potencies. I use them in acutes as well as chronics for sensitive patients.
With LMs - if you aggravate at the beginning of treatment and this is not relieved by reducing the dose then it is not the remedy for you at that time. Proving with LMs when you start to take them indicates unsuitable remedy - proving with LMs after a few weeks indicates you are ready to go up in LM potency (i.e. from LM1 to LM2 and so on).
You've let me know what you hate - can you tell me what really cheers you up??? That way I'll get a fuller picture. Also food wise, thirst, drinks, booze etc. if not already in your not notes further back (the fat craving I got!)pls tell me what you crave and what upsets you most. How are you with smoked food, curries etc.???

Hi, Erika
I know LM is the way to cure, but I'm afraid to go up yet. I'm telling you, I've had such aggravations. I'm finally feeling pretty good right now. I have bad days and good days, but all in all, better.
As far a what cheers me up: I LOVE the seashore and the sun and warm weather. I feel so much better then. I love being with my immediate family. I like being creative around the house, decorating, gardening. I can take a peice of junk and make it look nice.
As far as food, I crave salt always, sometimes meat, pickles. I have very bad food reactions as far as the fatigue and asthma. Foods that cause this reaction are dairy, some gluten grains, especially wheat. I avoid these totally. I always had food allergies but as I reached my early 20s, I was unable to tolerate any dairy at all or the wheat. As a child I ate these foods. I had lesser reactions, maybe rash, asthma.
In my teens to 20s craved alcohol. Barely drink it now but for a glass of wine rarely. Alcoholism is very prominent in my immediate family.
I drink alot of green tea with caffeine. I like fruit juices but try to avoid them when I can. Also water.
My food is kind of diciplined for the last 25 years because of the trouble I've had. If I could eat with no price to pay, I would probably overeat more, eat more sweets and cheeses, pizza. I feel so much better when I eat well - green juicing, lots of water, brown rice, salads, supplements, etc. Some foods are like poison to me. Food is always a big consideration for me.
As far as what upsets me, I don't like to be stressed with too many things to do. I ALWAYS rise to the occasion but would much rather not being on a schedule and having my free time to do what I want. (I guess so would everybody).
I almost always get upset when I see my mother and my siblings and father. The impact can last a few days. I try to avoid them as much as possible. Very dysfunctional family with poor boundaries.
As an aside, I have a symptom that has returned. Last night I got a -- I don't know what it is. It's like a boil on my thumb. I have gotten this in the past in my adulthood. Maybe 4 times all together. As a child I got recurring boils under the arms and on my inner thighs. What could this mean? Could this be like a herpe? It feels like an infection, small, round with redness and a whitehead in the middle. Very, very sore.
Thanks again, Erika, for your help. I always appreciate your advice. Me.

Hi - thanks for the extra info. and very glad to hear you feel better a lot more now.:)
I'm not sure what the eruption on your thumb may be, but if it is a returning symptom this is good. You could bathe it in very dilute tea-tree oil(1 drop only in a sinkful/large bowlful of lukewarm water)- but only if you know you are not sensitive to tea tree. It would be an unusual place to get a herpes eruption - maybe a wart? Difficult to say when can't see it.
On reading through your extra symptoms I feel very strongly that you could do with an intercurrent dose of Carcinosin (1M or 10M) - it is usually very unlikely to aggravate even in these potencies, but if you were unsure you could begin by taking a dose of 30c to see if this has an effect. I would not advise lower than 30c and I would not advise plussing it - 3 pillules of whichever potency you choose within 24 hours (1 pillule morning, one around noon, one early evening).
In symptoms it is very close to Staphisagria. The other remedy to consider is Folliculinum.

Erika,
Funny you should suggest Carc. I had a gut feeling it was needed but when I read the materia medica, it didn't seem to fit me.
Mother, breast cancer and colon cancer; Father melanoma; sister, melanoma; and other sister basal cell carcinoma.
Whenever I read about nosodes, books suggest caution in prescribing. It seems to be suggested only under the care of a homeopath. Why is that? I'd love to give my son a dose too, but I don't know enough about it yet. Me, I'd take a chance. I've had med and tub already, no results.
Now if I take the Carc, could it stop the Staph from working for me? Should I wait to see if the Staph stops working? I'm hesitant because I do have some releif mentally sometimes.
Also, will check out Folliculinum.
I have tea tree oil in the house. I was afraid to use it, it's so potent, that I would antidote the Staph. Will use. I have many creams and lotions that I bought and am afraid to use that I should antidote. It would be nice to use them again. Also, hair products with mint in them, is that okay?
Talk soon. Thanks.

Another interesting tidbit - Carc's NWS is from mononucleosis. When I get blood work done, I always show off-the-chart with Epstein Barr Virus. I don't know if I ever had mono, but I may have and not have known, because I used to abuse diet pills for the energy.
On the other hand, isn't Carc timid, the doormat-type of person? That definately is not me. I will stand up for myself. I'm also not the type that can be dominated. I will rebel right away. But then again Staph is like that a little, isn't it, and it has helped me (although not as much as I would like.)
Read some about Folliculinum. Carc fits better, I think, although alot of symptoms do fit. Some don't at all.

The Carcinosin should not affect the positive progress that Staph has achieved - it can safely be used as an intercurrent when so strongly indicated (esp. confirmed by your family history). It is likely that it is far more suitable for you than Staph. so that you need take Staph no further, or you may need to continue the Staph afterwards. Carc. can sometimes act slowly, so results may not be immediate - yet, with some people the results are very immediate!!. It is a very good chronic fatigue remedy.
For your son I would only suggest using it if he is needing treatment and it is indicated and definitely discuss with a homeopath before giving. Not caution but care and knowledge feels right to me with nosodes - I think it is the case that homeopathic training allows you to understand nosodes and their use more thoroughly than can be explained just in books, as you exchange knowledge with a lot of experienced homeopaths also while training.
As for the ointments and cosmetics - this is not just to do with the remedies, for if you are a sensitive person then you may be sensitive to anything strong, so use them all, but sparingly. If they smell very strong then use them away from the time you take your remedies and store them well away from the remedies.
I would think for example that tiger balm or menthol is so strong it can upset a sensitive person for sure! These smells overexcite the senses!!

Carcinosin is tired but gets energy to do things when inspired, is interested in a lot of self-development and new-age type development, is very caring but can overdo things for others. Carc can be very irritable too and very depressed and certainly not always a doormat. It is definitely a NWS mononucleosis - this is one of the chronic fatigue links for this remedy.
erika last decade
Where would you suggest I get the Carc? I don't think it comes over the counter, does it?
While I was on line today looking for Carc, I came across a web site where this guy says all Carc is not the same. It depends on how many tumors are used to make the remedy. If you are interested the site is
www.tinussmits.com/english/inspiring/carcinosinum/intro.htm.
As if things weren't confusing enough!!
I'm very irritable again this afternoon. I took the Staph yesterday morning. I'd like to try the Carc. as soon as I can get.

I will look at the website, thanks. The one with the provings I refer to is known as Carcinosin or Carcinosinum. It can be ordered from UK homeopathic pharmacies - among the ones that sell online are helios, nelsons, ainsworths.
erika last decade
just looked at the website - I did not realise a difference between the carcinosin from different places. I believe the pharmacies I mentioned will carry the same remedy but you could always ask them by email what their carcinosin is made from/does it differ from others. I was unaware that nelsons was different than others and would be interested to know if it is. From the homeopaths I know in UK - we all order from different pharmacies - the proving for this remedy is the same and the results are the same. Do not be confused, just order carcinosin - the pharmacies know their remedies better than anyone!

Erika,
Ordered Carcinosin 30C from Helios today. Guess it will take a while to come.
Will keep you posted.

One point I wanted to point out with the Carc. You said it was caring and can overdo things for people. That's not me. If anything I'm selfish. My husband says I don't do anything for him. I wish I could be more giving. I'm just overwhelmed with my own stuff and mostly put myself first. Although I'm making an effort to be there for people which I think is very important and on my mind, by nature it is very hard for me. I'm selfish. Would that matter with the Carc?
maryo last decade
Carc. can be very dutiful and even if these 'duties' (to family and others) are important it does not mean that the duties are always enjoyable - so if it is this kind of realm that you help you may find it hard at times to want to do what you do. In other words are you really selfish or are you just trying to get some time for yourself???
erika last decade
I do want to be there for people and depending on how I'm feeling I am, but many times I'm not feeling well and committment seems monumental and overwhelming. I get very anticipatory before the event. I'm afraid to commit to anything because I never know how I will be feeling with the fatigue, etc. My intentions are good, however, and I like being there for people even more than I am, but most times because of the fatigue and mental state I always put myself first. I get fatigue and irritable (just not feeling right)and don't want to bother with anything.
maryo last decade
One thing though, sometimes I do find energy for something if I really want to do it like you said of the Carc. I don't want a lot of expectations from another person though from me to do something. I get anxious and almost rebel and psych myself out.
maryo last decade
Think carc should really help. Chronic fatigue is not easy to cope with and you are allowed to feel you need to put yourself first with this - after all what good would it do to get even more exhausted. You may well do more for others than you realise. Take care and hear from you soon

Erika,
One last thing. Do you think it's really possible to get rid of the chronic fatigue for good with the homeopathy? Or am I only to expect small improvements like I do with supplements and eating right?
I read things in homeopathic books that make it seem like a miracle can happen. I am a realist, and I would rather have the truth as far as what to really expect. What is the norm, not the once-in-a-lifetime exception? Please, what has been your experience?
I'm impressed with how you picked out remedies for me, because I have to say, I'm double checking you all the way (with what little I know)because of my past experiences with homeopaths. Do you mind if I ask how long you've been doing this?
I've been on a get-well journey for most of my adult life. I've tried every alternative therapy probably. Most people who are in the field of a certain therapy usually make huge claims, I think, about what their therapy can achieve (eg. chiropractor, accupuncturist). Homeopathy somehow seems different to me. But I must admit I'm a desperate person which sometimes can lead to unclear thinking.
I read recently about a well-known homeopath, Andrew Lockie, who died an untimely death of I think it was a stroke. I think he was in his fifties. I was wondering how this could happen if homeopathy is suppose to eradicate miasms and diseases which would cause a stroke.
Hope I'm not getting too philosophical on you. I'm really enjoying this forum.

Good questions! I have used homeopathy for 18 yrs or more and been properly qualified and registered for 6 yrs, so am quite a baby at this really!! I learn something new everyday.
I know what you mean about whether there is a miracle or not etc... and I admit homeopathy did zilch for my migraines, I was better off with osteopathy and dentistry realignment (my teeth didn't meet properly on one side) - I had persevered with homeopathy for years before listening to the homeopath's advice on the fact it may be something 'mechanical' rather than emotional!!!:)
Well - with chronic fatigue I feel great leaps can be made as long as you understand not to run before you are able to walk - to explain: when you begin to feel good energy just don't overdo things as this can cause you to jump right back to where you were with the fatigue.
I also have noticed that the patients who do improve a lot are the ones who really do want to improve - it is true to say that some like the label of chronic fatigue and hold on to it a bit! You certainly do not fit into this category and have obviously worked hard at getting better so this is a positive sign.
There are some reports that associate chronic fatigue with the after effect of various viruses (epstein barr, flu, others..) and vaccines.
In all cases it comes back to you and your body - homeopathy merely helps the body/mind/vital force to help itself and the outcome of healing comes back in the end to what your body/mind/vital force can achieve in the get-well status - I guess what I mean by this is that an 80year old will have a harder time recovering than a 20 year old because of physical limitations.
I have found metamorphic technique treatment helpful for some (alongside the homeopathy) also osteopathy and kinesiology or even reiki, hands on healing - this helps get out some of the 'stuck' energy to create a better flow.
I could go on for hours but probably haven't really answered your questions????
Lastly, there are other homeopaths who have died untimely deaths - this can happen to anyone whatever the walk of life they tread. I know of 90 year olds who lead a very 'unhealthy' lifestyle and still live on, propping up the bar whilst smoking! Guess that's just life!

You certainly do not fit into this category and have obviously worked hard at getting better so this is a positive sign.
There are some reports that associate chronic fatigue with the after effect of various viruses (epstein barr, flu, others..) and vaccines.
In all cases it comes back to you and your body - homeopathy merely helps the body/mind/vital force to help itself and the outcome of healing comes back in the end to what your body/mind/vital force can achieve in the get-well status - I guess what I mean by this is that an 80year old will have a harder time recovering than a 20 year old because of physical limitations.
I have found metamorphic technique treatment helpful for some (alongside the homeopathy) also osteopathy and kinesiology or even reiki, hands on healing - this helps get out some of the 'stuck' energy to create a better flow.
I could go on for hours but probably haven't really answered your questions????
Lastly, there are other homeopaths who have died untimely deaths - this can happen to anyone whatever the walk of life they tread. I know of 90 year olds who lead a very 'unhealthy' lifestyle and still live on, propping up the bar whilst smoking! Guess that's just life!

I guess one must use a combination of good living.
I hadn't taken the staph for about 4-5 days because of the infection I had in my thumb. I did take another dose yesterday, and I must admit I had an extremely good day today.
After feeling this good today I'm afraid to take the Carc when it comes. I'm afraid the Staph will stop working for me. Should I wait a while and see if I go further with the Staph?
Back to good living, I have read that osteopaths can do a lot of good work. I've tried kinesiology before through chiropractors. I did not do it consistently enough to decide if it helped me or not.
For me a very strict diet helps. Green juices can do wonders if you do it every day for a long period of time and combine that with other good foods and water and supplements and exercise, low stress. However, the fatigue has always reared its ugly head again and again. Homeopathy is probably another peice to the puzzle.
Thanks again.

It is possible to stick with the Staph for longer and then take the Carc later - do not be 'afraid' just go with the symptoms.
I wonder if a strict diet may be good initially yet stressful for chronic fatigue sufferers? Certainly detox is usually just too much for sufferers of this condition and they are just washed out literally afterwards. Even vitamins must be taken in a lower dosage than normal as the body in chronic fatigue seems to react to everything in magnification, so to speak. Be gentle on yourself, allow yourself time.
Did you ever try the metamorphic technique??

Will stay with Staph a little while longer.
Never heard of the metamorphic technique. I was wondering what it was.

Hi - keep in touch with how you get on with the Staph!
Re Metamorphic - there is some information on websites - over here the main training school is in London. I cannot remember the explanation of how the technique was developed but basically the therapist strokes hands and feet and around head aura to gently release pent-up energy and balance the energy flow along meridians. It is very good for people who are ready to 'move on' and get rid of this old energy. During treatment it is very relaxing and you often begin to talk about things you did not think you would be talking about as the energy is released. I have had this done for me and found it wonderful, felt very strong in myself after treatment. If you type metamorphic technique into google you should come up with the metamorphicassociationdotorg for a better description and therapist info.
