When exactly did you take the dose?

I took it on Monday last week.

Hi David, do you think that losing weight would be a side effect from the remedy? I have noticed that although I have not been eating a great deal of healthy food, I am losing weight. I still feel very ravenous and nothing seems to satisfy me. I am also still very easily agitated, paranoid and impatient. Do the side effects really last this long from one dose or is it all in my head?

Is weight a problem for you, in terms of being overweight?

There should be no side effects at all on the correct remedy. Side effects = new symptoms. Aggravation = old or current symptoms.

Side effects, if they come from the remedy, show the remedy is not precise enough at best, or at worst is completely wrong.

Prolonged aggravations can be due to other reasons - too strong or frequent doses, extensive or serious tissue changes in the body (pathology) or a hypersensitive constitution.

So are the weight loss and ravenous hunger new symptoms?

I'm a healthy weight but could do with toning up I suppose. I lose weight easily but am not a stick thin person. I'm tall, slender, and the right body proportions for my height I guess. I can't think of why I'd be losing weight. I remember the exact same thing happened when I took silicea 30c last year. I was ravenous and losing weight on that remedy. So, I'm usually a hungry person and have a fast metabolism. Maybe they're both still an aggravation of some sort, or I'm very sensitive to it? I'm wondering how long it might be til it dissipates?

It is the miasm I think, perhaps responding to the remedies which do not cover the miasm. It is the tubercular miasm - neither Silicea or Sepia cover this miasm - they are Sycotic and Leprous.

What other symptoms are prominent right now?

I'm burping after I have eaten something. that never used to happen to me. it also feels like a constant fatigue in my stomach which causes me to feel really tired. Normally, if I am really hungry I feel really tired and weak. That's how I feel when I have this ravenous feeling. It's a mix between absolute hunger and a swirling around of the stomach.

It seems to me you are hypersensitive to remedies, and this is causing problems. We need to readjust dosage from now on to avoid these problems. Hypersensitive patients are very difficult to manage in clinic - but using split dose properly it can be done.

Hi David, I believe that the symptoms have left me. The extreme hunger is there no longer. I am still hungry at meal times but it's not every single moment of the day as it was when i took the remedy. I have not been dreaming about women chasing my partner or my bashing or confronting them. I have also stopped dreaming about killing people. I am having unusual dreams of the usual variety that would not make sense to anyone if you were to try and explain them in this 3D world. I am waking up wanting more sleep, but I don't wake up feeling as though I've been run over by a truck like I always used to feel in my life.

Yeah you are very sensitive. This means the aggravations are more intense and go on for longer with you. That can be cured too, but we will need to be more careful with dosage.

Overall it sounds like a good result though. As the improvements stabalize we should be able to see how far Sepia is likely to take you.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Okay. I will report back to you next week.

Hi David. I became sick again with a head cold. This is honestly a first for me because I have never been sick this frequently in my life. 3 times in one winter? It's just ridiculous. The sickness is disipating; it's taken about 2 weeks. I literally have no energy. I'm waking up early, sleeping late. The dreams about bashing women have eased but I am now dreaming about killing people again, going to school, etc. My wrist has been experiencing pain here and there. When my wrist is feeling pain, it's about an 8 out of 10 and the cyst rises. But the next day there's no more pain and then cyst has gone down a tiny bit.

Hi David, my sickness has cleared and I'm feeling really good. Feeling really placid, less stressed, sleeping well. The wrist has no pain currently. Still clicking but oh well.

Are there any remedies which can assist me with weight loss? Which one do you recommend would be the best for me?

cheers,

Tara

Hello David could you kindly respond?
 
pheazoid last decade
We don't have remedies for weight loss I am afraid. The simillimum will give you motivation, energy, a feeling of well-being - all of which will help you to exercise and diet, which is the only way to safely lose it.

Over time, good health will naturally eliminate any unhealthy fat, as along as you are working to burn that fat off.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
oh ok thanks for that. with the sepia that i was using, and how i became sick with a head cold, etc, where should i go from here? i'm not sure if it's a result of me stopping my contraceptive pill recently but lately i feel really chilled out when i would normally stress, and stress out badly over something really small in the scheme of things. i've noticed that yesterday the cyst in my wrist is rising again and I don't know what to do?
 
pheazoid last decade
Ah well in that case repeat the remedy. I would use a bit more water this time - how much did you use last time?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I think I used a quarter of a glass. So one drop perhaps in half a glass this time?
 
pheazoid last decade
Yep that sounds great. I don't want to aggravate you too much considering how much better you feel.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Okay cool, well I'll report back if there are any troubles. Thanks heaps!
 
pheazoid last decade
Hi David, it's been a long time since I last posted. I'm having troubles again with my wrist. I am experiencing excruciating pain where the cyst is. The cyst has not gone away. The pain is 10 out of 10. It is very sharp. It is not like any pain I have experienced in the past.

I took some Sepia as you had previously prescribed once about a month ago. The pain subsided but now it has returned in full force, the worst I have ever felt. So I took a dose of Sepia again last week and the pain stopped for one day but has not gone away.

Additionally, I am not sleeping well. I am sleeping quite lightly in the early morning and anything can wake me up even though I have ear plugs in my ears.

I recently went away to south east Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Nepal) and I had some stomach problems in Nepal. I spent one horrible night throwing up everything in my stomach and every 30 mins kept feeling the need to throw up but my stomach was completely empty. I had major problems with the digestive system. I took something for it whilst in Nepal but it gave me thrush. I got married whilst in Nepal as well! But returning home I was still ill and the doctor gave me some sort of drug to get rid of the stomach bug. I find that I can't really eat spicy foods or chilli these days ever since that whole ordeal in Nepal. They're my favourite food and I crave it but can't eat it.

After taking the Sepia last week I was especially hungry and thirsty. Nothing could quench the thirst or satisfy the hunger. It didn't help me like it did last time. Is there another remedy that I should take?
 
pheazoid last decade
No the first thing you should do is get the higher potency of Sepia. If that does not work we can look for a new remedy.

Get hold of 1M and take a single dose as before.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thanks David, but just one question. My partner and I are trying for a baby. Will this remedy impact on that in any way?
 
pheazoid last decade
No it is not possible for a remedy to stop you falling pregnant, not from taking one dose.

If it is still your remedy, it will actually promote your fertility, for which Sepia is actually well known.
