Ganglion cyst and ligament issues _{Page 2 of 3}

Hi Nawaz,

I will do that.

I stopped taking Arnica 30C when you requested; however, prior to your request, I had taken Arnica 30C for approximately 3 weeks in total. It was in pilleal form, one pill under the tongue at night before going to bed.

Hi Nawaz!

I purchased a bottle of Phos 1M today. What would you like me to do?

Hi Nawaz,

I know it hasn't been 5 days (only 4) but I hoped to relate to you what has been happening.

The size of the cyst actually increased a little back to its previous size. This may not have been because of the Phos 1M, and I don't actually feel that it increased as a direct result of taking Phos 1M because the wrist is not painful and movement of the wrist feels perfectly painless; which to me feels like that one aspect of Phos 1M has worked better than any other remedy (to take away the constant pain)...but the wrist is still clicking a lot whenever I move it.

My sleep has also been greatly affected. Since taking Phos 1M, I have been coming out of a deep sleep and into a state of semi-consciousness just before 6am, and after waking I feel very exhausted (a lot more exhausted than I have ever felt in my entire life) even after an 8 hour sleep. No changes emotionally or mentally (thank heavens :-) I noticed that I have also found it harder to fall asleep after having taken Phos 1M and this also happened to me when I had taken Phos 200C previously, although it wasn't as bad and I thought perhaps it might have been a phase. I have not taken any other remedies or vitamins and have only taken the one dose of Phos 1M as prescribed.

I await your reply!

I hope that you are well.

Kind regards,

Tara

Hi Nawaz,

I didn't watch the cricket and don't have time to watch it anyway. I didn't go to any parties recently due to being sick. The sickness went away on Friday that just passed. I am currently undertaking postgraduate studies at the moment in music. There isn't a lot of pressure on me regarding that because I have it all under control. I did have an altercation at work recently with a manager. The predicament made me feel extremely angry. The things that they are doing to me is unjust and violates an agreement that I had with a manager who has left the company. Other than that, everything in my life is running pretty smoothly.

After the reaction that I had after taking Silicea when instructed by a previous homeopath late last year, I have been very wary of my reactions to homeopathic remedies. I have always had problems in my life with sleep, and I noticed that lately my sleep has been disturbed more than usual. I could only assume that it was the Phos 1M because I feel that the other things in my life are not significant enough to disturb my sleep in that manner. Perhaps it's not the Phos 1M after all.

I am curious about Phos 1M after having looked into the things that it assists with on this website. I don't know if any of the issues that it assists are actually applicable to me. Thankfully though, it has taken away the pain in the wrist. Today is the 5th day and nothing other than what I mentioned previously has changed. Would you like me to wait longer?

Thank you always for your help.

Cheers,

Tara

Hey Nawaz,

Well this website lists the things that Phos is good with. Things like:

mind; insecure, uncertain, scared; anxiety; while lying down; on left side; ;
mind; insecure, uncertain, scared; anxiety; during a thunder storm; ;
mind; slowness; in movement;
mind; insecure, uncertain, scared; fear;
mind; insecure, uncertain, scared; fear; of being alone (see company);
mind; insecure, uncertain, scared; fear; of death;
mind; mental symptoms from sexual excesses;
mind; talking, conversation; speech; incoherent;
mind; talking, conversation; answers not lucid; refuses to answer;
mind; talking, conversation; answers not lucid; slowly;
mind; talking, conversation; dislike of talking, desire to be silent, taciturn;
mind; sleep-walking;
mind; slowness;
mind; shameless;
mind; preoccupied;
mind; perception; senses; acute;
ead; pain, headache; in forehead; in cold air;
head; pain, headache; in forehead; ;
head; pain, headache; burning; warm room; ;
head; pain, headache; from wrapping up head; ;
head; pain, headache; warm room;
head; pain, headache; burning; in open air;
head; pain, headache; burning; brain; ;

etc, etc. I had a look down the long list of things and it doesn't look like many of them apply to me

Hey Nawaz,

This is what I found:

*mind; memory; forgetful;

*Easily vexed

*Restless, fidgety

*eye; tears; open air; This only happens to me when there is wind. (is Silicea like this, too?)

*chest; heart; palpitations; anxiety; (Gelsemium did help with this previously)

*extremities, limbs; coldness; lower limbs; foot; icy cold;

*extremities, limbs; numbness (see tingling); fingers; tips of fingers;

*sleep; not refreshing; (but this is also like Arnica)

*sleep; dreams; vivid; (I believe this is similar to Arnica)

After taking homeopathic remedies, I noticed the following symptoms that have never happened to me in my life:

nose; discharge from nose; copious; This is a symptom that has remained with me since December when I took Silicea 30C. It is very persistent and has eased a little after taking Phos.

head; pain, headache; burning; brain; this one only applies to when I first started taking Phos 200C. I remember it felt like my brain was pressing against my skull because of a burning headache that I had after taking it.

eye; pain; stitching, sudden, sharp; on going to sleep; I also had this the first time I took Phos 200C.

I did not see ganglions associated with this remedy in the information located there but do understand that it is a remedy associated with ganglions. Ruta graveolens worked the best for the cyst to decrease it in size and the highest dose I ever had of it was 30C, but that stopped working for me eventually.

The remedy information for Phos suggests:

BETTER, in dark, lying on right side, cold food; cold; open air; washing with cold water; sleep.

WORSE, touch; physical or mental exertion; twilight; warm food or drink; change of weather, from getting wet in hot weather; evening; lying on left or painful side; during a thunder-storm; ascending stairs.

The only one that applies to me in 'worse' is lying on left side. All throughout the remedy information it suggests things like slow-mindedness, cold things make one feel better...like open air, cold showers, etc. None of that resonates with me on any level.

Regardless, I will always trust your judgement with whatever remedy you prescribe me Nawaz because you have actually made better choices than my previous homeopath. EVen living my life without relentlessly taking vitamins is amazing. I must say though that Phos is a very strange remedy! It's also unusual the way that some remedies work more quickly than others.

Looking at the remedy in this manner actually helps me to see the things that it does help with. Although, I haven't seen any changes to cold feet and tingly hands/fingers, as well as all of the other things that I mentioned.

Hi Nawaz,

I hope that you are doing very well!

Just reporting back that the cyst has decreased in size. It has not decreased a lot but significant enough that I noticed it :-) Today is the 10th day after taking the dose of Phos 1M. There is no pain in the wrist. What would you like me to do now?

Warm regards,

Tara

Thanks Nawaz, I will do that.

May I also ask if someone can take a look at the following thread and assist with this? My partner requires help too.

Hi Nawaz,

Hi Nawaz,

The pain is starting to come back. Please respond. What would you like me to do?

Tara

Hi Nawaz,

Sorry for the late reply! Hope you had a very good easter break.

The cyst has gone down but not completely. It has shrunk significantly though. There is no pain in the wrist. I remember I felt quite emotional the day after I started the remedy; things that would not normally affect me greatly affected me which was very strange. I also had painful cramping at night in my calf muscles with tingling feet. My dreams were very long and full of dangerous situations. I also found that I needed to urinate a lot more frequently at night time.

What would you like me to do now?

Kind regards,

Tara

Hi Nawaz,

Hope you are doing very well!

The cyst has significantly decreased in size. It is quite small now. I only experience pain when I play for a few hours and practice very strenuous and demanding pieces. The pain subsides 20 mins after I have finished my practice. Where shall I go from here?

In addition, I was wondering if I could run a thought by you. I have a recital coming up on June 9th. I usually experience very bad stage fright and was wondering if a remedy could be prescribed to me so as to help me overcome my fear? I understand that it is not good to take two remedies at once. I am willing to hold off on treatment of my wrist if it is required. Could you please assist me?

kind regards,

Tara

Hi Nawaz,

Please see my post above.

Cheers,

Tara

Hi Nawaz, could you kindly respond to the above as a matter of urgency?

Hi Nawaz,

That is perfectly alright!

May I ask if Gelsemium Sempervirens is the same thing as Gelsemium? The reason I ask is because I happen to have Gelsemium 1M at home already. Would this be sufficient?
