The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Dr Kadwa, please - Calc Carb follow-up Page 2 of 4
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Also, I have ordered Calcarea Carb, but reading up on it:
Calcarea Carbonica
Mental symptoms: fear of povery, illness, death; sometimes productive, sometimes lazy; fear of the dark and ghosts; dislike of small spaces, thunderstorms, mice; discusses every detail of each illness to a too great a detail.
Physical symptoms: sensitive to cold; often tired and anxious; excessive, sour-smelling sweat, say, after a light exertion; constipated, but feels better for it; metrorrhagia (heavy bleeding) because of uterine fibroids .
Personality type: shy, quiet, sensitive; when well, may work very hard; when ill, slightly depressed; tends to be overweight; prefers sweet, sour, and starchy foods, cold drinks, oysters; dislike coffee and milk; unusual craving, such as for chalk.
This hardly seems to describe me at all, except shy, quiet, sensitive, and depressed when ill. Natrum Mur seemed to be me almost exactly. Is there a reason why you wanted to change it? Should we have expected more changes if it was the correct remedy? Thanks!

Also of note...the skin on my chest and neck is clearer and sleep has been better. Husband remarked that my hair is looking healthier and some grey hairs I had are starting to turn brown again. I have in the past had borderline low thyroid levels and during my last blood test (2 weeks ago), all my levels were excellent and had never looked so good. Not sure which of the remedies (Sepia or Nat Mur) had this effect, but I only noticed these changes after I started homeopathy. The changes (except for the blood test) have been so gradual I have hardly noticed until I really thought about it...

If you are feeling well, you may wait and allow these complementary remedies (Sepia and Natrum Mur) to work internally say for another 15 days to one month. If you do a creative writing work there is a high possiblity that Nartrum Mur will work for you.
If progress comes to a standstill by that time, you may report back.
These polychrest remedies can't be expected to match all symptoms of any person. These remedies do remove a layer if used judiciously in a treatment plan.

I do not do creative writing for work, although I did a lot of that growing up and I would definitely do it for work if it would pay the bills. I am feeling alright, although I was still extremely irritable before during and after my period this time and short with family members. I think I may have been antidoted shortly after taking the Natrum Mur by some mint or garlic though, and have not noticed many changes from it (other then an aggravation of mental syptoms near the beginning). If this is the case, should I repeat the dose of Natrum Mur, or still wait another 15 days?

Hi Dr. Kadwa,
I received the Calc Carb a couple days ago and decided to go ahead and try it, since none of my emotional symptoms were changing at all with the other remedies. I took the last dose this morning. Since taking it (the Calc Carb) I have been very tired and have a headache, also in a bad mood (which I have had, but I thought a remedy has a well-being effect first). I'm not even sure what to think anymore. I know I should probably wait longer for the Calc Carb to act, but out of all the remedies these three seem to be the most similar to me, and yet I do not notice any positive mental changes, only certain skin symptoms and such. Please advise, thank you.

Please wait for 15 days and go ahead with three doses of Lycopodium 200 at a gap of 4 hours if there is no significant change by that time. Please report back after 15 days of taking Lyc 200.
♡ kadwa last decade
Thank you, I will do so. I was wondering if that would be the next thing to try since they all seem to be relatively similar to me, at least. I have some on hand, so I will wait 15 days and then see.

One additional question - am I correct to assume that with the right remedy, I will feel an ease of mental symptoms first, before the bodily ones?
caligirl last decade
We may have Sulphur as the next remedy but after that we will come back to Sepia.
It is not necessary that the patient should feel better at mental plane first and physical later.

Thank you...it has been 4 days since I took the Calc Carb and I am feeling panicky and teary and totally overwhelmed by new situations and too many people. I feel panicky and sad and just want to crawl under the covers. All of these remedies seem to be making me to feel like the worst versions of myself.
My head also feels heavy and I have general muscle soreness, especially in my left arm where I injured the wrist from overuse a couple months ago.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Kapalbhati Pranayam and Anulom Vilom Pranayam by following the links given below. Please practice these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning. You may practice at any other convenient time. The only restriction that you have to follow is not to do these exercises within 4 hours after meals. You can have meals not within 15 minutes after finishing these exercises.

Hi Dr. Kadwa,
I feel better mentally since the beginning of the week, but all of my muscles ache all over my body. It feels like I have done a strenuous workout, but I have not. It is even interrupting my sleep because I am in pain. I think this could be the calc carb, I noticed I started to experience this after I took it. Should I antidote?? Please advise!!

Please let me know what to do, Dr. Kadwa. I have never been sore in all my muscles like this unless I had exercised strenuously for hours, and last night I only slept 1.5 hours because my whole body was so achey and sore.

Please take rhus tox 30 thrice a day or preferably rhus tox 200 twice a day until your soreness and pain is gone. There is no need to antidote calc carb. i couldn't reply earlier as there is some network problem. Some threads open easily while others don't.
♡ kadwa last decade
Is this muscle soreness a result of the Calc Carb? Do you think it will go away on its own? I don't have Rhus Tox on hand and it will be some days before I can have it here. Do you have any ideas on why this is happening?
caligirl last decade
It can't be said with certainty that muscle soreness is due to calc carb. If it is due to calc carb, it should go away on it's own. Otherwise you may need rhus tox to get rid of that.
♡ kadwa last decade
Ok, I have just never had this before, or the headaches which is why I think it probably is. Emotionally I feel fine though, which is strange because I am in pain and my head hurts. Usually that would make me quite grumpy!
caligirl last decade
My muscle pains are gone, they went away on their own and I don't have a headache anymore. I have a better relationship with my husband, although I am still irked by the antics of my son and when he doesn't listen. My mood is relatively stable, and I have more a of sex drive (haven't had one for a while). I am still a bit tired and find it hard to fall asleep at a normal hour. I am starting to develop a yeast infection - I used to get them all the time but haven't had one in about 4 years.

Dr. Kadwa,
It has been 15 days since I took a dose of Calcarea Carbonica. It seems like the positive effects have worn off...I have not been able to sleep well for the past few nights, unable to fall asleep, and restless sleep with early morning waking, though I am still tired. I am unable to take a nap in the middle of the day. I am somewhat constipated again and I am back to bingeing on carbohydrates and sweets at times and am frustrated and critical of my son. I don't feel much like talking to my husband. I no longer have the muscles aches that I started getting about a week ago. Please advise on what I should do now. Thanks!

Please take a single dose of Calc Carb 200 and report back after 15 days.

I can't even function today. I have been crying all day because there are so many things my son needs that I am unable to provide with my small job and my husband is not taking care of us. We have had to rely on the goodwill of others for too long. I just can't even believe that this is my life.
I also can't sleep and am having anxiety. Do you think it is the remedy that is causing me to not sleep and feel awful? If you think it is the right one, is there an easier way to do this, I feel so awful for 5 days after I take it, like my life is over and I want to die.

You should tell your son that all great and accomplished people in this world from Mahatma Gandhi to President Obama have made great achievements not on the basis of their inherited wealth but on the basis of their devotion and commitment.
So your son should not seek short cuts in his life, short cut often leads to short circuit.
You may take a single dose of Lycopodium 200 if you think that everything that is happening is just unbearable.

I actually feel better today, but we went swimming in a chlorinated pool today, and I think that may have antidoted my remedy. Does chlorine antidote homeopathic remedies? And if so should I repeat the dose of Calcarea Carb? Or take the dose of Lycopodium?
