my health so bad I no longer have a life - please help if you can _{Page 4 of 5}

I am in the U.S. so it will be very expensive for me to order from helios. I can get LM1 in pillule form, is that alright?

It has been one week since my last post and 17 days since I took Sepia 200c. The only physical change I've noticed is in my feet - they are normally constantly in pain with a feeling of numbness. It's not really a pins and needles feeling, but more like vibration accompanied by pain(but a totally separate pain from the fractures/tendonitis/edema in my feet). The feeling is still there, but sometimes it is not as bad.

Mentally and emotionally I've still been good. I'm still not 'normal', but I can't believe how much better I've been feeling. I felt the 'non-human' feeling creeping back on Wednesday and just a little bit today, but those have been the only times.

When I get the 'non-human' feeling, I feel like I'm going to burst out of my skin, like every particle of my being is going to spontaneously combust, which makes it impossible to relax, but I feel more at ease now. I still get anxious around people, especially my parents, but being more relaxed when alone is better than being on edge all the time.

I ordered the LM1 and 2, but, since they are coming from overseas, it may be awhile before they arrive.

Thanks again for your continued help!

Hello,

I am surprised by how well I've been doing (at least mentally). I still do not have the 'dark' feeling that I used to have, but over the past few days I have been getting increasingly anxious and antsy and it's starting to get pretty bad again. I have a lot of trouble being around other people.

I discovered histamine intolerance and microcytic enterocolitis, and I think it's possible that one of these is responsible for my physical symptoms. I have started a low-histamine diet, and it is really helping the gas/bloating/abdominal pain. No doctors in the U.S. even know what these conditions are, though. The only places I've found that could diagnose me are in London and Australia.

I still have not received the order from Helios.

There is a homeopathic combination that I have taken in the past to help my thyroid; can I take this while taking Sepia or should I avoid all other homeopathic remedies?

Thanks!

(I still have not recieved the Sepia from Helios)

These are the ingredients in the combination:

Adrenalinum, Glandula suprarenal suis (porcine), Pancreas suis (porcine), Thyroidinum 12x. Calcarea carbonica, Chelidonium majus, Conium maculatum, Graphites naturalis, Iodium purum, Lachesis muta, Lycopodium clavatum, Lycopus virginicus, Phytolacca decandra, Rhus toxicodendron, Silicea terra, Spongia tosta 10x. Aloe socotrina, Echinacea angustifolia, Iodium purum 3x.

My feet have been bothering me more lately, and I was going to use Traumeel, but I wasn't sure if I should since it is homeopathic. I figured it would be alright since it is topical, but I figured I should ask first.

I have still been pretty good otherwise. I slowly continue to get more easily annoyed by things and have 'darker' feelings more often but still not too bad.

I am away from home right now, and the LM1 did not arrive before I left. I did bring the 200c with me, but that is all I have. I won't be home again for another 3 weeks.

Is the Traumeel ointment ok to use?

Thanks

Hello Dr. Sameer,

My mental symptoms improved after the last time you prescribed 200c Sepia, and, looking back to when I first posted to this forum, I have VERY MUCH improved in that respect; but my physical symptoms have recently worsened. A doctor once suggested to me that the feeling of a constricted rectum may actually be due to an internal rectal prolapse. At the time I did not think that he was right, but now I think that a prolapse may actually be the problem. I have heard that Sepia is used for uterine prolapse. Is it used for other prolapses as well? It is so frustrating to have so much trouble evacuating, especially now that I am feeling better in other ways. Since I am feeling better, I want to be out doing things and living life, but instead I'm chained to the bathroom.

Thank you for your time!

Thank you again for your help :)

It has been 5 days since I took the Sepia LM1. I have had a lot more (I'm not sure exactly what to call it) motivation or 'get up and go' since I took it. Instead of just THINKING that I should do something, I actually DO it. I have been accomplishing more in the past few days than I normally do. I also seem to have more energy, which may be why I am able to accomplish more. This is the only change that I have noticed.

I also have been feeling somewhat more at ease, but the feeling comes and goes.

Dr. Sameer,

Immediately after taking the LM1 on Saturday I got a migraine (at least I had all the symptoms of a migraine, but it didn't actually really feel like a migraine normally does). Nothing unusual happened Sunday. Then Monday night when I was getting ready for bed, I suddenly had a feeling as if a part of me was back.

Throughout the time that my problems developed I felt like the 'sick me' had come into my body one part at a time and replaced the real me, pushing the real me out one piece at a time. I have felt like someone else has been inhabiting my body and the real me still exists but not physically. That's why I said that I feel like I'm watching things happen from outside me body. On Monday night, though, I felt like a part of the real me had re-entered my body, if that makes sense.

It felt like being in a bad dream within a bad dream within a bad dream, etc, and I had awakened from one of the bad dreams. I was still asleep, but at least I was one step closer to actually being awake. It was really exciting. I felt like getting in my car and driving until I found you so I could tell you in person :)

The next day, though, I felt horrible (tired, irritable, nauseous, weak, got a migraine later in the day) all day and the feeling of a piece of the real me being back was gone. Every day since then I have been really tired and weak. I normally get up early. I like to get up around 6-7am, but I've been sleeping in until 11, even 12 because I just can't wake up.

It has been confusing.

After the LM2 things have been better. I've still been getting up late, but not as late, and I don't feel so 'out of it'. Nothing else has really changed.

I want to thank you for helping me. I have improved so much since my last dose of Sepia, it is truly amazing! I was slowly feeling less and less depressed and then one day I had an epiphany kind of moment (I had taken a Bach flower essence the day before – crab apple - I don’t know if that had anything to do with it). I realized that because I have changed so much since becoming ill that I have refused to accept my current self as me. I realized that I am not me “as I once was” or me “as I wish to be” so I need to stop thinking of myself in those terms. I am me AS I AM NOW, and to move on, heal, and be happy I need to ACCEPT that and then move forward.

When I made this realization it literally felt like an evil spirit was lifted out of me, and ever since then I have been much less depressed, much more at ease with myself, and although it is impossible for me to be at ease with my current situation I am much more at ease with it than I previously was, and things are much easier to deal with.

My physical symptoms, especially the constipation and rectal constriction, have not improved, in fact they have steadily gotten worse and worse; but I believe that the physical body is greatly affected by the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self. I have come to terms with things and improved my mental, emotional, and spiritual self so I can only pray that those things no longer stand in the way of healing and that physical health ensues. I also believe that the physical symptoms are the only thing now standing in the way of me being completely free of depression. I have improved so much that I truly think if my physical symptoms were gone I would be completely fine mentally, emotionally, and spiritually :)

I also recently discovered that I have a sensitivity to ALL grains. Removing grains from my diet has improved my digestive system some (bloating, etc.). I was also having very bad drops in blood sugar, and that is now gone. It is even helping my feet (probably because grains are very inflammatory so they may have been contributing to the edema in the bone marrow of my feet).

My relationship with my mother has also greatly improved. Sometimes it’s still difficult to be around her, but before I could not be around her ever, at all. It is much, much better now. I do not even think I could use the word “relationship” to describe my interaction with her before, I was just disgusted by her and didn't want anything to do with her, but I am now rebuilding my relationship with her.

I am also taking an online course that is required for my major. Even though I had to drop out of school because of my health I have every intention of finishing my degree no matter how long it takes so I am taking a course now and am enrolled in another that will begin this fall. This is impressive considering that, because of adrenal fatigue, when I first left school my brain was so frazzled that I could not concentrate on anything for more than literally a couple seconds at a time. It took me several months before I could even read through a children’s book. Going back to school is also good because it gives me a strong, tangible goal to reach for. At one point I didn’t think I would go back to school or finish my degree, but I am now very much determined to do so.

For some reason this morning and afternoon I felt very anxious and annoyed and had a feeling of darkness. My mom called me a couple times, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer the phone because I didn’t want to have to speak to her. By evening this had passed so I don’t know what caused it, but having those sensations reminded me of just how far I have come. I think every day about how much I have improved, but experiencing a worsening of those symptoms made my improvements much more appreciable so I wanted to thank you for your continued help; this is truly amazing! I originally entitled my post “my health so bad I no longer have a life”; because of the constipation and what it entails (hours in the bathroom each day, enemas, etc.) I cannot travel, visit my brother or sister who live out of state, go back to school (other than online courses), have a job, it is even very difficult to go on day trips, and I can no longer make it to church on Sunday mornings because I am not done in the bathroom, so I still say I don’t have a life, BUT I now believe that I am on my way back to having one. I am rising from the dead, and it feels so good to feel more like…ME!
