Dear Tazz:
You have filled the form in a very generalized way. No specific symptoms are given. Find below a helpline to answer the questionnaire. If filled accordingly, some homeopathic certainly would get back to you.
Text copied from abchomeopathy.... You can find this help text if you click on 'Post Reply', then click on 'Read This First'.
Homeopathy is very different to conventional medicine in that to be effective, a very large level of detail is required. The more information you can give, the better the information you receive back will be.
In order to get a good quality reply, you will have to give as much of the following information as you can:
Each symptom in as much detail as possible. For example, for a headache, describe the type of pain (ie sharp, dull, stabbing, pulsating etc etc)
Where each symptom is located (ie at right temples)
What first started it off (ie walking in a cold wind)
When it's worse (ie on seeing bright lights, on stepping, before period, etc)
When it feels better (ie lying down in a dark room, when warm, when cold)
Your sleep pattern and details of any recurring dreams.
What you are sensitive to (ie, heat, cold, touch, criticism, etc)
Your state of mind (fears, anxieties, attitudes, moods, etc)
Any desires or aversions for particular foods, and wether certain foods make you feel better or worse.
Details of any major diseases suffered in past.
Detals of any reactions to other medicines taken.
History of homeopathic treatment if any.
All other symptoms you have (ie watering eyes, cold feet, thirst).
If you write it as a list rather than a history of your life spanning many pages, it will be easier to read your post, so you are more likely to receive a response. The more concise you can make it, the better.

I realize homeopathy is different than convention medicine. I answered these questions on the form. I could write a book, but anything more specific needed can be asked. otherwise it will be 10 pages and for sure no one will have the time to respond!

stomach irritation - it is in the upper part, the gut area between ribs stomach area. this is where I feel the most discomfort from anxiety, as well as from food, after eating, sometimes even without eating. warm food and drink helps.
anxiety about future, how I can manage, financial problems, cluttered house etc. (that is another issue like hoarding). if someone contradicts me, or intimidates me, I get very anxious and fearful and it remains, then I cannot focus on anything else.
I get up and sleep walk and eat during the night, esp the first two hours (between waking and falling asleep)
I wake easily at the slightest noise. very sensitive in emotions, and in body, to foods, chemicals, odors etc.
I need approval, attention. If I phone someone and they understand me I feel much better. if I cannot reach a friend, or they do not return my call, or even if they do not agree or understand me, then I am worse.
anything else you like to know?

I cannot stand pitch darkness, or going in an elevator (claustrophobia).
I live alone but fear it sometimes if no one there to help me when I cannot handle something on my own.
I like hot bath, and heating pad, but I hate hot humid weather, hate summertime.
I never received the proper emotional care and support from mother.
I was free from muscle pain, sleep walking and much improved while in relationship with fiance but that ended, then my job was eliminated, and things deteriorated after that.
symptoms are usually worse on left side.

OK, take a single dose of Anacardium 200 and report back in 15 days.
One dose means:
If the medicine is in pills/pellets form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills. The medicine dissolve by itself, so you don't have to take water (as normally the case in allopathic medicine).
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 2 sips of water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
