Thank you Dr Kadwa. I've ordered the remedy on the line. I let you know after my daughter starts taking it.

I do tell her to do it but she doesn't always listen to me.

Can you please suggest a remedy for me as well. Lately I've been feeling very irritable and find it hard to be happy. I worry about my kids all the time and get very anxious and get headaches. I am very sensitive by nature but lately I feel over sensitive and this is effecting my relationship with my husband. If he says something negative I go really mad with him and accuses him that he is insensitive and mean. Nothing seems to excite me at the moment. Even though by nature I am a very positive person I've been feeling very negative lately about every thing and feel burdened with responsibility. I always feel that no matter how much good I do to people I don't get any credit for it. I feel like I've been used by every one and every one is mean and selfish and no one under stands me. I hold grudges against lot of people specially some relatives, my husband and even my own mother. I feel no one cares about my feelings and it makes me feel sad and I feel there is no one to share my feelings with.
I've rheumatoid arthritis for last 10 years and I take methotrexate for it. I do pranayam every day. I don't get any aches and pains but since I had arthritis my energy is very low and I get tired quickly.
After I got married we lived with my mother in law for 19 years and last year we moved into a different house. I really hated my mother in-law. She was very demanding and argumentative and always picked on me and argued with every one and always dis- respected my family.
I am gentle by nature and I can't bear injustice. I always go out of my way to help.

I am originally from India but live in Uk since I got married. All my side of family is in India. I feel very lonely some times and because we were living with my mother in-law I couldn't make many fiends.
I feel I've lost closeness with my family because of distance and feel they aren't bothered about me.
Living with my mum in-law knocked my confidence down as well. She made me feel worth less. No matter how much work I did she always made out I was lazy and she was better than me.
I like spicy and sour foods. I like warm weather and hate winters. I feel better in summer.
I feel guilty for not being able to do more work than I am doing. I wish I had more energy. I worry about my daughter a lot because she lives in London and is studying at University there. I worry that some thing might happen to her because of her independent nature and lack of maturity.
I have lot of anger against some people who I think have been unfair to me and used me when they needed me and not appreciating me. I find it hard to let go of grudges against people. I feel no matter how much good I do I don't get goodness in return and feel like being stabbed in back.

Thank you. I'll take remedy and report back in 15 days.
