miasms - which remedy Page 7 of 8
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
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.

Erika,
One last thing. I know I should see a homeopath in person, but I've been to 3 of them already, and it's been a learning experience, but I've had terrible aggravations and don't trust so easily now any homeopath.
If I could find someone that I really thought they were good and could help me, I'd go there. It's not that popular in the States and very expensive. I felt I was not only wasting my money but getting worse. That's when I started buying books and reading about it, so I could make a semi-educated decision when given advice.

maryo - read up on graphites, rhus-tox, kali-sulph and also belladonna as salty suggests (particularly belladonna if hot, red and inflamed, to calm the inflammation).
From these I think rhus-tox could be the most helpful, particularly with this acute skin reaction but also this remedy has depression from cloudy, rainy weather.
Try the 30c potency

Thanks Salty and Erika
I went to 2 homeopaths and my son went to one. All of these were classical.
I went for 2 years myself, a year and a half with one lady and 6 mos. with the other. One trained in England and the other trained in the US but travelled all the time for study.
The one my son went to for a year was a MD.
Neither of us got any help. In fact, I was terribly aggravated by both. We'd like to see someone else, but I'm afraid to pick someone. I think a lot of homeopathy is skill and I still have faith in it. I've had many suppressions which makes it harder, I know.
In the meantime, thanks for your suggestions. I'll look at the Belladonna and the Rhus Tox and let you know how it goes.

Hi,
I took the rhus tox today. I took it at 12C because they didn't have the 30. Is that alright?
Today the symptoms are different on my hands. They are weeping. Water seems to be pouring out of them. It's clear. They are still itchy and sore. Should I stick with the rhus tox?

give it a bit more time - how many doses are you taking daily?
the only reason to stick with the rhus tox is if it improves your skin and your general feeling of wellbeing, so you must guage whether this is an improvement or not, as unfortunately I cannot tell without seeing your skin and you....
if you are not sure then ask yourself - do I feel better? has my skin condition improved?
In this acute situation do not persist with a remedy that makes either of these worse. :)

I think I'm doing a little better with the Rhus Tox. It has definately helped the itch. The hands were very bad; I think it will take time for big improvement, but it does look a little better today.
Yesterday I took three doses of rhus tox 12C. This morning 1 dose. How should I continue dosing? Should I send for the 30C or stick with 12C? My mood also seems better.

maryo last decade
sounds like you are doing better now - glad to hear it and hope the improvement continues!!
How many doses? = Only take another dose when the healing effect of the previous dose has worn off. take less often when improvement starts. stop taking it when a lot better and only start again if gets worse again.
Following dosage in this way means you may take several times a day or just once every so often, depending on what is needed to help you heal yourself!

erika,
the itching seems to be helped however rash seems like the same, deep purple swollen, scaly, cracked. Should I keep on with the rhus tox do you think?

Erika,
I've been getting heart palpitations today. Could this be a proving of the rhus tox? I've only taken 2 doses today 12C.
I might be hypersensitive to all remedies maybe?

maryo last decade
palpitations could be due to the rhus tox. You are certainly sensitive to the remedies and should take less often than you think, and/or change potency/frequency.
Sensitivity is where the carcinosin, or medorrhinum should help (as can a few other remedies).
It is hard to say for sure, as you are not a patient sitting with me who I can observe and question closely, but Carc. 200c may well be helpful.
With skin sensitivity Tub. 1M is also very helpful.
Are you sure you could not trust another homeopath near to you who could assess this ?
Did the porridge sock help with the eczema?

I know you have talked of vaccinations etc. and wonder about the chickenpox vaccination - do you know if you had a reacation to this vaccine or if any of your eczema problems started after this?

Erika,
Yes, I'm sooo sensitive. Unfortunately, the rash and itch is getting worse every day. Do I try to get 6C rhus tox. The Rhus tox did help the itch but not really the condition of the rash. Plus I got the palpitations although I felt okay mentally.
I'm 100 percent sure this is from either the CARC 30 or the THUJ, most likely the CARC.
I was reading in Luc DeSchepper's book about the nosodes. He said be extremely careful about taking a nosode because if it is not indicated it can activate a latent miasm. I'm wondering if that's what has happened with me.
Two homeopaths have said I have sycotic miasm showing. I've taken MED200 and TUB 30c in the past. The TUB I had a horrible reaction to. The MED I didn't feel any different.
I've been trying low-potency remedies and things are exacerbating for me. I'm getting worn down by all this. I've antidoted with VICKS rub and coffee. Why is the rash not going?
The other thing I was reading is if you do get an exacerbation from too high a dose of the correct remedy, don't palliate it with other remedies because that is equal to suppression.
Like I said, I'm getting tired and want to get on with my life. I'm feeling desperate.

As far as the chicken pox, I asked my mother. She doesn't remember anything.
I remember getting eczema at around age 5. I was near a cat and I got hives all over my body and my eyes blew up. That's the first I remember with the allergies.

Erika,
What do you think of trying the Sulpher 6C diluted. I can get that tomorrow.
I can also get 6X.
With the 12C, I took four doses in two days and aggravated with an even worse rash. But it seems like I've been aggravating from every remedy so far if it's above the 6C.
If I order the rhus tox in a lower potency it will take some time to get.

maryo last decade
it is possible the 30c potency will suit you better.
I do not understand why you say the palpitations are caused by carc or thuja when you said you got them after taking rhus-tox?
I am losing track of how your skin is - it is very tricky when I can't see it - I read you said it was just itchy and sore, red - but later it is purple? is this after a remedy or was it always purple?
is this just on the back of your hands or elsewhere?
have you considered putting the remedy in a very pure base cream?
as to suppressions - this is a minefield to talk of - everyone has been taught different thoughts on this. I go by what is happening and treat what is there not by what could happen........

maryo - I have reread your post on the rhus-tox.After reading through your description of the rhus-tox again =it still sounds like it was helping, but that it was not helping you as quickly as you wanted? is this possibly correct?
it helped the itch, but the rash was unchanged.....so continue but take a lot less frequently. But then I am confused because you mentioned these palpitations? I would suggest if the palpitations came after taking rhus-tox and they still appear after taking less frequently then stop taking, but if they do not reappear when taking less frequently then carry on. YOu do not have to take a remedy daily if you are sensitive and if you do then of course you can cause a worsening of the symptoms rather than the desired healing effect....
as suggested before maybe put remedy in a base-cream or in some olive oil or water and put this on a small area of the skin (infrequently and very dilute) to see if it helps

Erika,
Palpations came w/rhus tox. I would take less frequently but the itch is overwelming. It helped with the itch, but the rash is definately not better. I thought the itch was better and perhaps it was after the first, second and maybe third dose of rhus tox, but then it seems to go overboard and got swollen again and the area of skin the rash is on has increased.
The rash is on the entire hand more so on the right hand. It is red, I guess, with small cracks and deep cracks on the palm, sore, and depending on which remedy I'm taking it is wet. Sometimes the rash changes a little with whatever the remedy it is.
I'm going to order rhus tox 6C, but it might take a week or more for it to come in.
The problem is the ITCH IS SO BAD. I feel like I'm going crazy with it. I never had an itch like this and I've had eczema my whole life.
I've tried the porridge with the oatmeal. Oatmeal and aloe vera are even making it itch more it seems. They don't relieve at all, just seem to make worse. I know it doesn't sound right but it's true.
I'm living on Benadril. Is that suppressing do you think?
I hope I don't sound ungrateful with all my questions. I really do appreciate your help.

I think I'll order rhus tox 6C to have on hand for future any way. It might take a while to come in. What do you think of the Sulpher idea or should I just take Benadril until the rhus comes in and take the rhus tox 12C every other day or so until then?
maryo last decade
the 6c will not help if the 12c didn't. you need to change to another remedy if rhus-tox is not helping.
if it is still very red and swollen have you tried belladonna yet?
you say about the sulphur - have you tried any potency of sulphur up to now?
if benadril is helping then take it but bear in mind it will mean that any symptoms you have are not true symptoms while taking this - you need to go back to before you took anything to get a true picture of which remedy you need.....

look again at kali-sulph?
erika last decade
No, the rhus didn't help. But it did help the itch alot.
I tried sulphur in the beginning; it made the rash real bad, but dry.
I was thinking with the rhus and the sulpur that maybe after a couple of days on the 12C I start to prove the remedy and that's why the rash gets worse at that point. For the first day or so the rhus looked like it was helping.
I haven't tried Belladonna yet either. Will look at the Kali sulp.. Unfortunatly, I've got to leave for work now and wouldn't you know it but I type all day.
Thanks. I'm trying to think positive. At the very least, when all this is over it will be a learning experience in homeopathy for me.

Hi maryo,
I am sure the kali-sulph will be very helpful.
It has a yellowy discharge, a lot of flaking and is itchy.
while you are taking the benadril if you also take any homeopathic remedy, partiuclarly sulphur, you will just get the benadril stopping the eruption and the remedy bringing it back out - this could go on for ages and it will be very frustrating for you. so you need to reduce the benadril when taking the remedy and stop it when there is improvement.
the bendadril could be the cause of the worsening rather than the remedies proving.
I have thought about this a lot overnight and think this could well be the case.
I suggest kali-sulph, reduce benadril and also maybe take a dose of homeopathic histaminum remedy or adrenal remedy.
