New Symptoms: to David, Sameer and Niel Page 3 of 3
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am holding the situation for some more days without taking anything because I want to observe which symptoms, old and new) areoccurring now that I am no longer taking anything.
The insomnia is starting to worry me.
I fall into a light sleep and then I wake up around 4am and keep lying with my eyes closed, hoping to get a little more, but I feel my body light and trembling, pervaded by a subtle restlessness.
Same when I wake up: my muscles are not relax and feel trembling and shaking.
I have some job deadlines (a concert and the beginning of a production) shortly and this scares me a lot.
The happened to me already in analogue situations. When my first show opened i slept 2 hours a night for a month.
I am really scared and not sleeping obviously influences the quality of my performance and of my voice.
The mind is going better, though.
I am not fighting with my boyfriend, I seem to be able to ask for what I want, although I avoid sexual intercourse and will keep doing so till I am sure I want to be with him, I still like him and sex will be a deep connection and not just something mechanical.
No self-hurting illusions (much less), no deep despair.
And I have to say that talking with you guys is helping me a lot.
I often feel sharp pains in the upper and lower abdomen.
My lower abdomen, roars, bloates and aches around 9pm, independently from what I have eaten. I can see the boils pushing from under the skin.
That always happens when I am with my boyfriend: can it be a nervous reaction? Like I have to tighten up to be perfect and therefore my bowels are chocked.
When I am with him I feel like he poisons me. The fact that he's a smoker might have some real affection on my body.
The stool is incredibly frequent, (3-4 times a day), so my bowls are empty. The metabolism is really fast.
The acne is medium/bad.
Some pimple are either painful cysts (red, on a comedon free, soft skin) or tiny dots of pus of the size of a pore.
The angular chieilitis is slowly healing.
The appetite is good but not excessive and I am naturally re-oriented myself towards fruits, vegetables, vegan stuff.

Anyway, to reply to David's observation about feeling similar to other animals or plants...
When i was a teenager I used to picture myself as a whale.
I was 'the singing whale'.
Because they're so big, they are potentially dangerous yet very pacific, they can be scary and persecuted, hunted they are mammals, they do long apneas (I loved doing real apneas in the water as a teenager) as I do now when I immerge myself in my inner world, to emerge and then go down again.
They risk to get stuck in the sand and to lose they vital space.
Is there a remedy from the whale?
And if there is, can you relate my symptoms to it?
Plus, I have a very big head and a very loud, powerful voice.

As a teenager, I used to call myself a Whale.
Not because i felt fat, although I have been much fatter than I am now till the age of 22, but for what i thought were the resemblances with the animal personality.
They are big, scary and therefore have been persecuted and hunted forever, but they are sensitive, big heaed as I am, intelligent, mammals, singers, etc.
Is there a remedy from the whale and, if there is, do my symptoms match to it?

uh, sorry,
the previous message was in the next page and I thought it had not been sent, so i rewrote it.
I could get no sleep tonight, so I had to go back to bed at 11am and slept til 2pm.
I dreamed, so i slept for sure, and it helped.
I hate sleeping during the day and wasting the time, now I feeel weak, but my mind is clearer and my muscles relaxed, my body feels 'heavier' in a good way.

Time to make a decision about the Remedy.
Here are the latest symptoms, I feel like I'm back to my normal (by normal I mean that I think I got rid of all the accessory symptoms of the remedies I've been taking lately).
The acne is symmetrical, as it used to be a few months ago.
The roaring in the abdomen at night is decreasing.
The mental state is much better.
The sleep is so and so: I keep waking around 5am or earlier and then i keep on sleeping, but not as hard.
I sleep on my back with my right arm above my head.
My dream activity is back.
I'm having much more pleasant dreams, especially when in this position, apparently.
Hunger for vegan, fresh, raw stuff, as my usual.
I feel more driven to the Columba for the deep connection and understanding with the World and its paths.I would say that my main quality has always been wisdom. Not good sense, wisdom.
The Staphy and the Carc are both very appealing, but they seem not to cover my spiritual side and that is what is driving my choice.
Any thoughts on these last symptoms?
I'm pretty ready to go.

Start with the Colum-p, move to either Staph or Carc after that depending on your reaction. Since Carc was Sameer's first choice I would go with that if needed.
Important thing is to give each remedy time to work - 1-2 weeks at least before assessing a reaction.

Hi all.
I got the chance to see a godd physician in february and she gave me Staph as a constitutional, with a side of other remedies in low potencies (among which Lyco 9c daily)
Staph has brought a lot of pain out, releasing it and making me face the sadness of my past life. My acne improved a lot (even though I think that the Lyco did a lot about it), but hasn't cleared.
After many doses af Staph 10M I have decided that I wanted to try Carc and it worked a lot psychologically. For the first time I could accomplish tasks, I felt more secure about what I wanted and stopped following everybody else's path to concentrate on mine.
My acne is almost gone, but not cleared.
i still think that the LYco cleared most of it. Lyco is a very important remedy for me, I think I inheritated it from my father.
Now I have a new problem:
My hair, that used to be incredibly thick like everyone else's hair in my family, has become really thin and I am losing a LOT of it. The scalp is sore, hair breaks like nothing and it's very delicate sensitive. It no longer feels like my hair. I am VERY concerned.
I used to have thick, dark, staight hair as a teenager that turned into dry, wavy, frizzy hair when my father - a Lyco, I'm POSITIVE) got sick and then died). Dry and fizzy, but still full and thick and strong. I could have been hung by the hair without feeling pain.
Now it's all different, I am even afraid to wash it or tie it up.
AND the scalp is dry, itchy and coverd with thick dry scales of dundruff (but this is an OLD chronic teenage symptom, for me, that has recently made a come back. The only new thing is the thinning and the loss).
PS: the dandruff is IMMEDIATELY aggravated by eating dairy.

I almost forgot:
The hair thinning got very bad around early october, after I lost a job.
But right before that and before losing the job I got a laryngitis that turned into a cough that lasted over a month, with hoarseness and chest pains.
I am a professional opera singer and that NEVER happened to me before.
The slightest cold started the cough. Even touching something cold.
I reject cold from the bottom of my soul.
Now the hoarseness's gone and the cough too, apparently.
I was and still am VERY ameliorated by warmth. I love warmth and sunlight. Light and wide wild spaces.
I love my warm bed, being wrapped in it as if someone embraced me.
Leuchorrea improved by the therapy, but not fixed yet.
Menses still early, VERY painful, preceeded by sore, swollen breasts.

Months ago I even dreamed that my remedy was Carcinosin. I found the word written in the stone, like a magic word.
It really helped to legitimate my will and follow it, while Staph helped to legitimate my pain and release it.
But I actually started writing this last post for another reason I forgot... as always happens to me.

Maybe this is what I forgot, although I'm not sure: I have long apneas.
Whenever I am concentrated on something, I suddenly have to take a deep deep breath and then is when I realize I haven't been breathing for quite a long time.
Thank you very much for the attention and caring.

Can you list all your symptoms. Next to each one write Better, Worse, Same or Gone. If better or worse, can you write a score or a pecentage to show how much has changed.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
New symptoms:
- hair thinning and falling with scalp very sensitive to pulling, itchy and with scaly dry dandruff, worse eating fats and dairy. I used to look like a leo.
- recently laryngitis with hoarseness that evolved in deep dry cough with chest pain, especially around the heart, sometimes with palpitations. (GONE)
Old symptoms:
- acne: red and painful, mostly symmetrical, WORSE eating fats, on mostly dry skin (NOT oily) that used to be silky till the age of 18, olivaceous complexion
- leuchorrea: since the age of 13. Worse by exertion, running, after stool.
Worse by eating the same foods that aggravate acne.
- cervix of uterus excoriated, but no HPV and PAP test negative
- mind: sometimes still lack of confidence and sense of self. CARC ameliorated greatly. Forgetful, deep thinker, I don't like to be bothered or asked questions whenever I am doing anything else (and I always AM concentrated on something).
apparence: very tall (6') anf thin, quite big head but in general very well proportioned, upper part of the body thinner than lower, with lighter bones and fine features. hands big and thin, very long and subtle fingers. very long eyelashes and pronounced cheekbones.
Never drank, never smoked, no birth control pill. Fond of natural food and lifestyle in general.
You can find the rest in the previous posts.
Thank you, David.
Anything specific you would like to know?

- menses always early with first 24 hours of pain (need to lay on the floor and hold my knees)
- pain starts after blood
- first day flood is red
then dark and clotted, much mucus
last long, with 3 days of dark blood spots
- cry before menses
- hoarseness before menses (I probably notice it only because I am a professional singer)
- swollen painful breasts before menses
It happened more than one that CARC made my period start right after I took it (a few minutes after), if the dose happened to be taken during 'compatible' days).

Carcinosin fits me well, but Ignatia too.
And I also have a LOT of Nat-Mur, Sep and Lyc and - when given, I reacted well to them all.
I need to release pain from the past and become stronger in my acting will.
I love chocolate, salt (sea salt), juicy natural foods and sour - the natural sour of fruits like oranges and apples, as it's the only thing that releases my thirst. I am thirstless for water, unless it's sparkling.

What I was looking for was an assessment from you about the improvements. I need to know what from your original list, is better, is worse, is the same, is gone. For those things better or worse I need to know how much , so a percentage or score of some sort is good to put next to them.

Dear all,
I am still on Staphysagria 18LM once daily.
After the scalp symptoms and the cough, an old symptom came back: compulsive unwanted thoughts.
The theme is always very unpleasant and it varies: the most common used to be jumping off the window (without the slightest idea of suicide: I never ever wanted to kill myself, it's just an image that I couldn't help see in my mind whenever I saw a window/bridge/whatever. Now the jumping thought has mostly been replaced by others: others I used to have back in high school (about 15years ago, before I got acne).
They are of the weirdest kind: I see a drill and my scalp itches? I imagine scratching my scalp with an active drill. I am sitting down and my pelvis becomes sensitive? I imagine cutting my clitoris off (as a relief from the sexual desire). They seem very cruel thoughts and they freak me out, but there's no intent of acting on them. They're not even purposes, they just come to my mind. They are very unpleasant, tough.
(PS: I have been living at my mother's place during the last month - so I 'came back' to the situation in which the disturb began back then.)
They improved with psychotherapy and then leaving home.
These ones that are coming back are not not the only other weird compulsive thoughts I used to have in school:back then I was also scared by the idea of being homosexual, by the fear of going insane, by the fear of being able to kill someone (even babies).
Mostly, they are ideas of very sudden impulses that come out of nowhere (i don't need to be upset to have them) with the consequent fear of not being able to resist them if they aggravate.
My previous physician gave me Platina for a while last year, and Platina immediately brought back the homosexuality fears and thoughts, which is why I stopped the remedy (too hard to bear) and the thoughts stopped all together the minute I stopped the remedy.
[A few more info about myself: when I was 15 and started having compulsive thoughts I asked to be seen by a doctor and I have been brought to a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who made me take the Rohrshach personality test (the one with the spots on the slides): it turned out that I had an intelligence 'way above the standard', particularly plastic and intuitive, and that I had such violent thoughts whenever it felt not recognized and understood. Basically, I gave others the task to give me my image back as in a mirror and felt awful when the image came back distorted (my mother was a master at that distortion and I am living with her right now that the thoughts are back... she's the only person that, as a teenager, I have ever had violent thoughts upon - like smashing a chair on her head - but even then without the real intention to act on such ideas or visions).
When I am very angry, nowadays, the worst I can do is to break something in the house, but I have to be deeply humiliated or desperate in order to do that (which is why my present physician gave me Staph).
What should I do now?

I am very slow at answering questions:
I am always concentrated on sth and whenever I am asked a question it first takes me a few seconds to realized I was asked sth, then I repeat the question in my mind as if I had recorded it, then I find and give the answer (it kind of bothers me, though).
And I am very forgetful.
