The ABC Homeopathy Forum

sameervermani

Hello to all
I am looking for a remedy that can treat the following things:
heaviness of limbs
incontinence
anxiety over work (who isn't)
general remedy for anti stress

I am almost 40 and married to a lycopodium/hyocyamus niger hybrid. he's controlling, he asks for lots of attention, ....I'd rather not go on about him but I know that it at times makes a diagnosis for me easier.

I did see a natural doctor who was trained in homeopathy for about a year and a half but it got to be too expensive
I am, honestly under a lot of stress and this may be a part of it.

I can tell you that I am prone to depression and that is a result of being 'odd' with respect to being artistic and misunderstood. My thoughts jump at times from one subject to another whcih also may frighten people.
I suffere from anxiety (anyone depressed from this yet?)
I love children and small animals, the arts (most all of them except poetry).
I like being around people so I am not alone, but don't necessarily want to make small talk. Opening up to other people (other than relatives) makes me nervous.

I hate cloudy weather, damp weather, too.
I like dry sunny and warm weather. Hate the cold.
Thunderstorms to me are mysterious, though rain (or any precipitation) makes me depressed because I think of homeless people and that they may not be able to find cover and be warm.
I am sensitive to all impressions.
I get irritable when made to wait (behind cars on the beltway, especially to ask a question when someone else who is not in a hurry is taking their time).
I am, in general, impatient with detailed work (bookkeeping or filing or secretarial work).


Grew up in an environment with a narcissistic, demanding, subtly demaning mother. She was, however, as well meaninig as she could be (didn't neglect me physically, just sometimes did not hide disdain for things I did which was hurtful).

I resist schedules and routines yet can follow them if necessary.

Tend to befriend people that are dominating but... I must say that this is dwindling since I started using remedies.

So Far, I have taken (via ND's prescription):

lycopodium: self esteem
nux vomica: sensitivity to noise
staphysagria: tendency to throw things when angry
hyosciamus niger: anger and lewdness (Like talking loudly in public)

I put myself on:
arsenicum album: fear fright and worry (it really helped!
ignatia amara: emotional clearing after traumatic childhood
hepar sulfuris calcareum:
tendancy to want to hurt child which, thankfully is waining and my thought are much more organized (can't tell from this post but when I speak it is apparent)

I can't do this alone, I realize so...is hepar sulphuris something I should be taking?

Is there something else I should be doing?

Also, will lavender oil applied to body interfere with any rememdies

Know this is a lot but if anyone has the time, it is much appreciated as I am finding that homeopathy just might be the answer to most of what I am looking for in my quest to self improve

cheers

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION

It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.

1. What exactly happens?
My main problem is that my concentration. This is common, I know. It has gotten much better with the remedies I have been on:
Lycopodium, nux vomica, staphysagria, hyosciamus niger (this one in particular did not help much with anything)
Concentration is poor because I do not organize thoughts well in head (again this is getting better but not enough)
Also, another problem is stressful environment I live in (work and homelife).
My constitution is naturally a strong one (at least physically but not mentally) but stress is hard to avoid and deal with.
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
Limbs are heavy like they have five pound weights attached to them. When I excercise (this helps concentration but not organization of thoughts), my limbs are hard to move and I end up moving half time for a while. I warm up and this improves but I am still behind in beat by a bit.
Incontinence happens when I laugh or cough. Coughing happens a lot as I am getting sick a lot in cold weather.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
heaviness of limbs: gets worse if I drink lots of caffeine or have a lot of junk food (chemicals?) and also after being sick

incontinence is worse
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?

Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing.

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION

It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.

1. What exactly happens?
My main problem is that my concentration. This is common, I know. It has gotten much better with the remedies I have been on:

My constitution is naturally a strong one (at least physically but not mentally) but stress is hard to avoid and deal with.

2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
Limbs are heavy like they have five pound weights attached to them. When I excercise (this helps concentration but not organization of thoughts), my limbs are hard to move and I end up moving half time for a while. I warm up and this improves but I am still behind in beat by a bit.

I have a touch of sciatica which runs through left hip (side not back of leg) and when it occurs it has a pulling sensation; may extend through buttocks to lower back

Incontinence happens when I laugh or cough. Coughing happens a lot as I am getting sick a lot in cold weather.

3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?

heaviness of limbs: gets worse if I drink lots of caffeine or have a lot of junk food (chemicals?) and also after being sick

incontinence is worse when coughing or sneezing and when I am at work teaching

5. What triggers the problem into occuring?

(Answers four and five may not be very different, sorry)
trigger for heavy limbs: ultimately might be stress (but exascerbated by poor diet)

incontinence: physical stress,pressure on bladder or muscles from being pregnant)

6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?

time of day is irrelvant for physical problems

mind issues: night is worse in terms of my thought process; I am clearer in the morning; writing lesson plans should be done then until early afternoon;

but this is not always; sometimes I am better at night if work is more repititious (data entry of grades for ex)



7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?

heaviness of limbs started four years ago; don't know if it was related to specific event

incontinence: four or five years ago....reason?

sciatica: ten years ago; I stopped doing aerobics for several months and went back to it; sciatica kicked in so I stopped again, it got worse, so I got accupuncture and incorporated more stretching of muscles and continued with excercise without much remission of sciatica,

conecntration issues:
my whole life but marked decline in high school; social issues caused depression which caused further concentration issues

organization of written thoughts also decliend at time of concentration issues (of course)

college was very difficult; I spent a considerable amount of time more than others studying for all subjects; writing papers in classes such as government or history was nearly impossible, more success in math and science yet still much wasted effort due to concentration diff.

this worsened depression



Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing.

As well as this, please describe any traumatic indicidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.

traumatic events:
mom leaving the house to play bridge when I was four or five; I hugged her shoes; didn't understand why she was away so much

generalized anxiety around making friends due to my ability to lose them easily

whether or not these fed into my physical symptoms, I can only guess that they may have

I know they fed into emotional/cognitive

fighting with husband.



he is very often verbally abusive

I know that these things may very well make homeopathic healing hard, but I have improved while being with him so please bear with me

almost losing my baby

but this whole sitatuion was very traumatizing as I almost lost baby

Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.

in my life, tend to gather information and gather information and delay making a decision until the last moment; I ask for opinions of people I trust and I alays try to come through with things (now that I am on remedies, thank g-d)

I get anxious and nervous a lot more than most about decisions but look to g-d, as well, to support; he answers many prayers

probably I work less quickly than others but this is changing, too! (again thanks to g-d and to homeopathy)

Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior.

patterns include my being a bit of a 'chid at heart.' I sing or dance when I probably shouldn't (i.e. with my child at the grocery store...I am an artist so that may be why)

am forgetful if I don't write things down

tend to be self deprecating because I was spoiled into thinking that I would always be protected as a child; husband always reminds me, 'not everyone is your friend so don't try to tell them everything.'


Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow.

in school, I wanted to intially to study dietetics (nutrition) but could not handle more than a year and a half of heavy sciences; began to really drive me batty after that so I switched major; always regret it and have since tried to go back and study the sciences (pre homeopathy) only to find they were so burdensome; perhpas different post homeopathically

hard to grow maturely; people say I am immature in my gestures and actions (too much singing or using words like cute and OMG)

too much dependance and reliance on what others think
or say about me

maybe too much dependance on husband but am doing the best I can to be independant and am largely successful; am making more clear boudnries with him

Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.

home life as a child was somewhat normal; mom was/is narcissistic but still did her best to care for us; emotionally distant though; very authoritarian style of child rearing; much yelling, some hitting/slapping; father was very standoffish and let mom do the disciplining past the age of three years old;

grew up as the youngest of three children; two older brothers close in age; they more often then not were together and I was left to myself; was fairly happy drawing and painting, doing crafts

made friends and lost them fairly easily; still maintain contact with close middle school friend

in general, broken friendships for me were the norm; ended with me getting angry with them over something they did to wrong me; that is changing but this is then, not know

social circle in high school consisted of mix of good kids and kids with issues (drug use but mostly just dysfunctionality in families); best friend (whom I was too dependant on) ditched friendship in eleventh grade and had to scramble to regroup;

went to a Beverly HIlls 90210 type high school and pressure was high to perform well in school as well as dress the part;
shoplifted as a teenager as I thought this was the way to be able to dress well; pattern did NOT continue into adulthood
smoked as a teen; pattern did continue into adulthood but only socially and ended with the birth of first child

college consisted of trying hard to stay focused, little if any time for socializing/partying; had a B/C average; double major in elementary edcuation (because it was practical but dreadfully tedious and boring) and art edcuation (because it was something that I could focus on and enjoy); also certified in middle school science education

friendhip situation in college did improve due to involvement in religious life
and being in dance troupe

trouble keeping to commitments (turning papers in on time, making it on time for a dance troup performance)


If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:

1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate

fried chicken (with and without the breading), chocolate, cheddar cheese, pizza, lobster,

honestly don't eat these things often due to either food sensitivites (wheat and dairy) or religious convictions

hate: chopped liver or any organ meats

2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
crave coffee and hot chocolate;
hate taste of most types of alcohol

3. What your sleep is like
I sleep well for at least six hours and usually for eight; caffeine may make me awaken early or it may be due to my bodies being toxic (stress/yelling at school causes toxicity; yelling is bad I know but you should see the kids I work with; they are tough; yelling is quite commom in the area)

4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
weather I love: warm and sunny and clear; makes me feel optimistic, no sun, feel ok; cloudy, don't like;
rainy, want to crawl into bed; snowy, neutral though I worry about the homeless at this time

5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to

seeing homeless people, makes me depressed but resolved to donate

6. What your general level of energy is like
My energy level is great when a remedy is working well; it drops after a week or two and is better than it used to be; by nature it is very low

7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
sexual energy is not a major life force, for me though, curiously, when doctor prescribed hyosciamus niger, my sexual energy increased; I think I took on the attributes of the remedy, became much less self conscious of body

If I may, I would like to add that I am, by nature, someone who tends to overeat though I was able to combat this most of my adult life through excercise; right now, I am probably overweight by about fifteen pounds

Can you please elaborate on 'Thunderstorms to me are mysterious' ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Thunderstorms are mysterious simply means that they remind of mystery books or of Alfred Hitchcock movies. Suspense makes books and movies better. I am reminded of things I like when I see a thunderstorm.
Not being able to see what is out there is why I suppose mysteries always have somewhere in them a house during a thunderstorm.

As with snow, sometimes thunderstorms make me a bit sad, though, as I begin ruminating about people who are homeless. I am sensitive to what I see every day (or not every day...like the homeless in the streets).

Guess it depends on my mood if I am intrigued or depressed by thunderstorms


thanks for your answering
 
ignatia last decade
So, is it fair to say that thunderstorms always have a strong effect on you ?
 
sameervermani last decade
yes
 
ignatia last decade
now that i think of it, sometimes i get fearful, too. i just don't like loud noises, especially with shaking included
 
ignatia last decade
did i say too much on thunderstorms?
is that what you mean by last post?
so sorry
 
ignatia last decade
one more thing
I noticed that some remedies are for people with bad skin. I would have to say that I have scars from acne as well as acne bumps (are they whiteheads).
I have, as an adult, changed diet for this (no wheat and no dairy and less sugar) and this has helped but by no means has gotten rid
 
ignatia last decade
Please talk more about 'too much dependance on husband'
 
sameervermani last decade
to continue...
he is a bit too controlling and I never really noticed the pattern because of my need for someone to help me interpret social cues
 
ignatia last decade
Dr Sameer
I know that you are busy but I was wondering if I could ask you when I should check back with you on the above post.

Thank you
Ignatia
 
ignatia last decade
What do you mean by the following:

'I am very sensitive when person, usually clich-ish females, snub me (seems to happen when I am depressed, I sometimes cannot form thought before I say them, '
 
sameervermani last decade
What do you mean by ' I can't win
I am hurt by this.'
 
sameervermani last decade
'hyosciamus niger: anger and lewdness (Like talking loudly in public) '

^^ Expand on this a bit more as well.
 
sameervermani last decade
It's
lycopodium/ignatia.
I hope you still feel comfortable treating me. I really could not bear to 'bear my soul' and have anyone know so much about me.
 
ignatia last decade
So, do you face problems interacting with females ?

Do you get involuntary urination only during coughing and laughing ? How strong is the correlation with coughing? How strong with laughing ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Yes, quite often, though, as I have said numerous times before, there is marked improvement, but I still am not where most females are in terms of carrying on small talk at events or even carrying on talk of deeper things) on the phone or when out one on one.

Involuntary urination happens when coughing, sneezing, laughing, yelling, or sometimes when stressed as in when dealing with unruly group sixth graders (I am an art teacher in the inner city)
 
ignatia last decade
Hi,

Pulsatilla seems to be your remedy.

Have you taken it ? If yes, how much and what potency of it have you taken ?
 
sameervermani last decade
I tried Pulsatilla 30C and 200C. I took three pillules a day for about 10 days each
 
ignatia last decade
and my balance got better (i dance quite a bit) but my irritability did not
 
ignatia last decade
And, how much did you wait after ending the 10 day period.

What was the response during your 10 days ?
 
sameervermani last decade
did i mention that i was irritable?
