miasms - which remedy Page 6 of 8
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I think the irritability is coming from anxiousness. Little things are overwhelming to me and I feel anxious about everything I have going on. Like an out of tune instrument.

Hi - take another plussed split dose (so in one day take remedy 2 or 3 times for one day only). If you take it twice try 1 morning, 1 evening. If you take it 3 times take the same way plus a dose around midday.
If this helps then only repeat another dose when the healing effect has worn off.
If it does not help then you either need to go up to Carc. 200c - taken very infrequently, or your 'remedy picture' has changed and you need a different remedy.
If you need a different remedy it is likely that your previous dose of Carc.30c has cleared a layer and a new remedy is now evident. If this is the case then you may need another dose of Carc. 30c at a later date again to help clear other 'layers'.
I'm away from the 24 June for 1 or 2 months, so get back before this if above is not clear. take care, erika :)

Hi Erika,
I'll follow advice. It's too soon to ask for more advice because it's already the 23rd, and you're leaving tomorrow.
Tomorrow I'll try the Carc. It's 6:00 pm here already. What's the danger of taking too much Carc? I don't know much about nosodes.
Have fun wherever you're going. It sounds like a journey. I'll miss you and your help.

One last question. Most of the time when I pluss I don't take the full teaspoon. I took a full teaspoon put in separate glass, did the same again and took about 3/4 of the teaspoon. Could this be an aggravation?
maryo last decade
This irritability almost feels like homeopathic aggravations I've had in the past. I'm wondering should I take the Carc in a HALF teaspoon put in water then a second glass the same?
I did the whole teaspoon before. Maybe it was too much?

You can keep on 'diluting' the solution - put 1 tsp. in a glass of water, then remove 1 tsp from glass one into glass two, fill, stir (very gently, once or twice) take out 1 tsp., into a third glass of water, etc. Start with taking the dose from glass 2 or 3 (oh dear, I hope this hasn't thoroughly confused ou!) and lets see how you do.
Minsa last decade
No, Minsa, I'm not confused. I've done this before. I think you are totally right. I was just looking for confirmation.
I'm wondering if irritability could be an aggravation of Carc. Do you know? Also, what's the danger of taking nosodes too often?

Erika,
Glad to see you are back. I sure did miss you.
I've had a severe skin problem on my hands for a little over a month now. It is eczema. It's also a little bit in the crease of my left arm by the elbow and very tiny on the right arm same place. But the hands are very HORRIBLE looking and EXTREMELY ITCHY and uncomfortable. I have been trying to hold off on the cortisone cream. I HAVE to take Benadryl though and my life has been on hold the past month because I can't do anything. The ITCH is unbelieveable. The hands are red rash, oozes after scratching. They get splits in the fingers and palm of the right hand. Right hand is worse than left, but left elbow is worse than right. They also get scaly and peel.
I'm almost positive this was from a remedy or remedies I've taken. My feeling is it has to be either the CARC 30C. If you remember, the first dose of CARC 30C split dose helped me. Then 3 wks later I took another dose. This time no help. Waited a week and took the 3rd dose. No help.
After that I tried the STAPH 6C split dose again because this had helped my mood for 3 wks before the CARC. No help.
Then I tried LYCO 6C and 12C. I felt irritable on this.
Then I took SEPIA 6C. No help.
Then I went to THUJ 6C split dose with 3 cups. In the past I've gotten terrible aggravations from THUJ but I believe it fits me. I was also told by a homeopath it fit me. I thought now after the CARC it might help. I wasn't sure how I was feeling on this and continued for a couple of weeks split dose every 3 to 5 days.
This is when I noticed the rash starting to get real bad. I think it was after the CARC though that the rash started in milder form. In the past I've had eczema on the fingers and hands and have suppressed eczema my earlier life many, many times with steriods both internally and externally.
I had a feeling this was the suppression coming up on my hands. I stopped the THUJ because the hands got so bad I did not want to go out in public.
I tried to stop the rash with SULPH 12C and it only got like a big scaly thing, the whole hand.
Then I tried to antidote everything because it was so miserable. I put Vicks on my skin and drank coffee, but the rash still came on in full force.
I thought it was getting better but today the ITCH was absolutely terrible. I felt like I was going crazy. I've been living on the Benadryl.
Also taking, EFAs, flaxseed oil, aloe vera internal and external, 3000 and up Vit C, Vit E, B Complex 100 3x day, Zinc, Bromelein, proteolytic enzymes, you name it.
Today I was sooo desperate with the itch I took a STAPH 6C dry dose. It might have helped, I think. It's too early to tell. It felt like it did though and I took another dose tonight.
I would love to know what you are thinking with this. My thought is it's from the CARC or the THUJ and it is suppression coming up too violently. I did try to antidote though. I know you shouldn't do this but I was desperate. Missed work some because of this. I'm wearing gloves to work in the summer and I'm hiding out from friends and coworkers. Please help. I've had the rash in real bad form for about a month now. Before that it seemed like my regular eczema on my hands was just slowly getting a little worse.
Internally as far as my mood I'm as irritable as externally on my hands.

hi there - I will read this through more thoroughly later, but in the meantime you should try a dose of nat mur 6c, 12c or 30c to see if this helps.
also try bathing the eczema in solution made from porridge sock - there are many descriptions of this on the net and it is really soothing. I think you Put porridge oats in a sock, fasten the top and run warm water over it so that it strains through the porridge sock into a bowl, then put hands in the solution.
spk to you later, erika

Erika,
I've been soaking in just plain oatmeal grains.
Before I got your post today I took my third dose of STAPH 6c dry dose. (2x yesterday and once this morning.) It does seem to be helping the itch. I was itching when I got up and took right away and I've been up for 2 hours now and it seems that the itch is gone.
Think I should wait on the nat mur? I have the 30C in the house.
How was your trip?

my trip was excellent thanks and I hope your summer has been good (eczema aside of course!)?
yes, you could hold off the nat mur for now and stick with the staph, but don't suffer unnecessarily!
let me know how it goes, take care, erika :)

Erika,
Just wondering your opinion on how this happened. This is a real abberation. Do you think the CARC or the Thuj?

skin conditions, as long as you improve in yourself, can be a sign of problems moving 'out' and 'clearing' so to speak. the remedies can trigger reactions but which one triggered this is impossible to say conclusively. Your vital force is trigerred into action by the energy vibration of the remedies and the course of action of vital force is unpredictable but good energy.
This said, the eczema should be treated even it is a 'good' reaction so that it does not get unbearable or infected.
hope this helps, erika...

Erika,
Any other suggestions for the itching and the eczema? It is oozing at this point and sore and swollen.
I took the STAPH 6c. It definately helped with the itching but I got very depressed on that.
I took Nat Mur 12C. (Because I had that in house.)
After 2 days, my skin is worse again and more swollen and itchy. I'm wondering is it because it's a 12C. I might be proving on just four doses (2 days, 1 pellet in am and 1 in pm.) I developed a herpe.
Any suggestions?

don't worry about the amount of remedies taken, the main thing is to get it sorted now and more comfortable.
can you describe the oozing in more detail (colour, temp.) and whether your appetite/thirst/general temperature has changed?
I know you have described above the eczema but if you can put all symptoms in one post now we can get a good grip on these and come to a remedy.
is the skin cracked? dry? any symptoms and all symptoms pls.

Hi,
Okay, it's both hands, especially the right hand. It travelled to left hand and got very bad there but it's still worse on the right hand.
Also, the left arm crease over elbow. That gets welty after I scratch it and oozes.
On right arm above elbow there is a round, dry, some red patch different from the rest. Maybe ringworm? I don't know. This is a new symptom too, but I have had this in the distant past. Same with the hands but NEVER this bad. Although I think as a child my whole body broke out like this on a few occasions. I have a grammar school photo with my face a mess with eczema. My son got this too.
There is GREAT ITCH. I have a high tolerance, but this itch gets me every time. It is unbearable and demands to be scratched and does not let up until I take something (although I'm grateful I have not resorted to steriods). After scratching it oozes, cracks and peels and becomes very sore and red and then scaly. On the other hand the hands are very, very dry. Also, on the front of the hand and sides, there is like red swelling that will ooze. It's hard to bend my fingers because they are swollen and might crack.
I am 99 percent sure this came from either the CARC or the THUJ. Like I said, my skin has been suppressed with steriods my whole life. I think the suppression is coming out full force.
Today I took DULC 9C and I think it feels better than with the NAT MUR 12c. The itching and redness are better.
As far as HOT OR COLD, my whole life I was chilly, and I HATE the cold and damp. When it rains, even in summer, I get very depressed and sometimes stay on the couch all day.
Now I'm at that age, I have heat rushes. I sweat at night and during the day. I will stick my feet out of the cover at night, but then I'm chilly again. My family will be in shorts with no shirts and I'll have a blanket on me.
I was mulling over my books today, and I was wondering about the DULC again as being my Constitutional remedy. That and STAPH are the only 2 remedies that ever made me feel better emotionally, but both only lasted about three weeks. I've tried split dose and dry dose with the DULC. The 9C is what helped me to feel better emotionally in the past. Those 3 weeks I really felt great, but I couldn't sustain the feeling.
Then I tried 12C and 30C. Those doses always irritated me mentally.
I was wondering if the 6C might be my potency at a split dose.
Before I knew anything about homeopathy, I went to the homeopath and told her the main thing I noted about my symptoms was they ALWAYS, without fail got worse in the fall. Every year I hate the fall. I absolutely dread it. I get very depressed and always have bad spells with the asthma (although the asthma is chronic throughout the year).
Another weird symptom is when I get nervous I have to urinate, empty my bladder so I can feel comfortable and continue on.
Erika, I don't know if you remember all my issues, but what do you think of trying the DULC AGAIN at a lower potency.
I have a guestion. When you are looking for a remedy, do you usually strongly consider the miasm that is showing? Also whether is the person hot or cold? Is that a strong consideration for you. I know different homeopaths do it different ways. I was wondering what you consider most important.
Thanks for your help. I always trust your judgment and have learned much from you.

Also, I forgot, when the hands are red and swollen, it has like little pustules (I don't know if this is the right word) inside the skin. Very, very tiny. This is what causes the oozing. When I scratch it, they break. People have to look the other way when they see my hands. It's quite embarrassing.

Hi Maryo
got back to this late tonight, sorry, so will look at it all properly tomorrow - I have printed off your info. anything else you think of post in the meantime...on the miasms question - I always consider the miasm(s) and its(their) relation to the remedy prescribed.....

what colour is the oozing and is there any bleeding? any odour?
which childhood vaccinations did you have?
which childhood illnesses did you have and to what degree?
have you checked out whether your outbreak is scabies????

Hi,
I'm at work today. I'm home for lunch now so I'll only be here for another hour or so.
The oozing looks clear to me. I don't smell anything, and there is bleeding when I scratch it hard which I have been doing.
I had all the required vaccinations in the U.S. which is alot.
Childhood diseases - measles, mumps, chickenpox. Eczema, asthma, boils, styes, and I had migranes for 1 year in 3rd grade. I remember also before I went to grade school I had bad burning when I urinated. My mother would have to put a cup of water down as I urinated so it wouldn't burn. That seemed to go on for a while.
When I took the SULPHER recently it was 12C. My hands got real bad again from that and now there bad again from the NAT MUR 12c. It was starting to clear up with STAPH 6C. I don't know if this is just an aggravation from the 12C remedies or they are bringing stuff up to the surface. I don't think I can tolerate any potencies at 12C. I'm even wondering if I should go to the olfactory method since I aggravate so easily.
The itching is bad today. I'm back to the STAPH 6c split dose now. I stopped the DULC 9C. It didn't help itch at all. I also had to take the Benadril yesterday and today.
It's unbelieveable how much pressure people in the States give you to hurry up and take something so the rash goes away. I've been hiding out as much as I can. They just don't want to see it. I think taking something is more so they do have to see it rather than me.

I was allergic to some foods, but complete intolerance did not hit me until I hit 20. Maybe it did, but I didn't know it. As a teen I became addicted to diet pills and had bulimia. It was around then that I developed the chronic fatigue.
I also had very heavy mercury done to my teeth. Many fillings. I've had about half removed, but I still have 8 teeth with fillings.
I used to take antibiotics for everything and steriods internally and topically for every discomfort. I am on steriods now, inhaler only, for asthma although it is a very low dose. Also in my late teens I developed hypothyroid.
Hope this all isn't too much info, Erika.
