Barthollin's Cyst and Silica _{Page 2 of 2}

The bleeding has stopped but the cyst is still swollen and hasn't gone down. I have been busy lately and feel like I would like to take naps throughout the day. Other than that I haven't noticed any other changes.

I've been busy and staying out late. In the mornings I'll usually wake up because I have plans, not because I feel well rested. I used to be a morning person when I was younger and would wake up early, but for the past decade or so I've enjoyed my sleep and can sleep for more than 12 hours at a time. Depending on what time I got to bed, my 'normal' waking time is about 1030-1130 am if I have nothing planned for the day. For the past week or so I have been waking up at about 9 or 10. I'll be up for several hours before I start getting tired and would like to go for a nap, but can't find the time to do so. The tired feeling can pass if I get out and do something but today I am especially tired. I went to bed at about 1am and woke up at about 945am, still tired. I haven't been drinking coffee for the past month to help me wake up.

Yes, I frequently get tired throughout the day and sometimes nap if I am able, even before starting the silica. The earlier wake up time was not really after the silica, as I have been waking up early off and on, but after starting the silica I have been waking up earlier on a more regular basis. No other noticeable differences after starting the silica.

I am feeling ok. I have been able to sleep in more often and am getting more sleep, waking up at about 1030 or 11. I haven't been getting tired as early as I usually do and find myself going to bed at 2 or 3am on a regular basis.

I'm not sure. I have been able to get more rest lately, but I don't feel the need to sleep at night until very late on a regular basis, which isn't normal for me. I haven't seen any difference in my mood, except for a little sadness because the holidays are over and I am back in school in a town away from family.

There doesn't seem to be much improvement, it's still swollen and doesn't seem to be going down.

Oh the bleeding has stopped since I stopped using the silica complex and switched to the homeopathic silica.

Thanks. There hasn't been any change in the cyst. It just isn't going away...as for sleeping patterns I've been finding it hard to sleep lately, going to bed at around 3am and finding it very hard to wake up before noon.

Ok thank you. If I didn't keep it in the fridge, should I create a new one? How long does it last in the fridge?

Great, thanks. I took a dose and don't feel much different. It seems like the easiest way for me to gauge improvement is through my sleeping habits and if I am able to wake up before 10 without feeling tired. Should I take another dose and continue to monitor my sleeping patterns?

Ok I will do that. Thank you!
