ah correct that. SO i got some discharge that led me to believe that i got my period but, nothing seemed to happen after that, and nothing thru the night either. We will see through the day what happens. I slept reasonably well, less sneezing too, and not much of an itchy throat.

Ok since yesterday i've had pretty bad allergies, a lot of sneezing, and runny nose, pretty much since i woke up yesterday morning until evening, and then it settled. And now again it has started since 6 am...

3 days after the last dose - I am hoping this is an aggravation. Is ti different in any way. How is the energy, mood, sleep etc?

Allergies are exactly the way they come at night but during the day. _the same way I used to get before the night issues. Sleep energy and mood are all good. Period has been late tho which is also usual.

Sounds like you are returning to your original state.
This is also a good sign. It either means the Cocculus will continue to help, or you will need a new remedy, probably the one that you needed prior to having your children.
See how you go throughout today and tomorrow. I will start collecting symptoms again and do a new analysis if things do not improve.

Allergies seem to have settled... haven't sneezed much today. LIttle sleepy around 3pm.. but not too bad. Had good energy overall, mood is good.
Been very focused with work too. I noticed something very different tho. Driving in the night. I usually have a hard time driving in the night because of light glare (i have a slight astigmatism that affects my night driving).. but since i don't drive much in the night, i forget to wear my glasses. Today- i didn't have that glare... it was rather strange! I could drive perfectly fine.

It is looking better and better (excuse the pun). While I am cautious about declaring a remedy curative (or the simillimum) until several months have passed, you are certainly responding very well so far.

I definitely feel better, i little more myself again which is nice... have more energy and able to have more conversations and laugh - which i forgot to do after the kids.

nothing really, last night was bad and I had allergies in the morning, with a stuffy/itchy nose... but it went away through the day. My left nostril is kinda blocked.
Even though i always feel cold and chilly, everytime i go outside and it's cold, my allergies fade away (usually).
Nothing else.. i'm not tired, good mood...

Ok just try and wait it out a bit longer - the direction of movement of your disease is still good - you are better in yourself, in your general state, with a local symptom (URTI) aggravating.

Ok so here's the status: the last few nights have been horrendous sleep- lots of sneezing, and on/off wakeups.. tossing turning, etc.
During the day, my mood and energy level has been fine.
I've had a tiny bit of discharge on and off the last couple of days, making me believe my period was coming, but it wasn't. And i don't normally have colored discharge.
ANyway... today around noon i got my period, and i got cramps with it. The cramps were like how i used to have it after my son was born. (In a scale of 1 to 10 here is how the pain is: before my kids it was a 10 (10 being excruciating), after my son 5, and after my daughter a 2).
The bleeding seems normal- not too heavy, not light. Pain lasted a few hours. Mood was fine, a little sleepy and lethargic tho.
No sneezing today.
And the timing of my period was how i used to get it- daytime. :)

Ok it appears the Cocculus is returning you to your pre-children state. I am not sure that the remedy will take you any further than that point in time, as it appears your previous chronic symptoms are resisting.
However to be certain we should repeat the dose if you are still experiencing the URTI/Allergy symptoms. You may simply be a bit stuck at that stage.
Have you taken a dose in the full cup (250ml) yet? If your last dose was in that amount of water I will need to give you new instructions on how to take the next dose. If you haven't, do that now.

That is a problem then - you are not raising the potency of each dose which will make each subsequent dose less effective and more aggravating.
You need to dissolve the pellet into a small containter with a tight lid, so that you can hit it firmly with the palm of your hand. This process of sucussion is very important for long term use of a medicine.
Normally I would then take a drop out of that container and put it in the water (1/4,1/2,3/4 etc)and take a teaspoon out of that into the mouth.
One of the reasons you might be experiencing such strong aggravations is the way you are dosing.
Are you able to prepare the medicine this way so that we can fine tune the reaction/result better?
Which method are you using for your children?

The childrens meds I have in liquid form. But mine was the pellets. I have spare bottles so will do it the way you mentioned. Every dose comes from the same bottle, the one pellet dissolved
?

Excellent - make up the remedy in a bottle. You will need to use 1 part alcohol to 5 parts water. I typically use brandy or vodka without problem. The bottle then is used to make each subsequent dose in water.
Because you haven't been succussing the remedy yet, just hit the bottle firmly twice.

I took a dose last night around 3 am, i woke up sneezing, and wide awake just couldn't fall back asleep... so i took a dose and soon went to sleep just to have a few nightmares (i used to get nightmares when i was a teen... they were so often that they don't phase me, and i wake up from them not rattled or anything). At around 8 i woke up very refreshed and energized. Little sneezing in the morning.
I use 1 cup of water for the dose.
