Left allopathy for homeopathy-- seek help for autoimmunity, fatigue, etc. (long)
I have a variety of either related or unrelated problems many of which have been treated either unsuccessfully or only partly successfully by allopathy. I think a good bit of the problem was probably caused by allopathy in first place and am hopeful both that homeopathy would help for my chronic condition and that it will become my new home "medicine chest" in place of aspirin, cough syrup and the like.I got some partial improvement of many symptoms with organic foods and avoidance of toxic chemicals, but only partial.
My chief complaint is chronic fatigue. Secondary are cognitive problems, chemical sensitivity, severe headaches, chest area pain and circulation problems "Reynaud's syndrome" where toes turn blue if I get cold.
I believe that I have gotten a little bit of help with this from using the Remedy Finder software here to enter in lots of symptoms also present and coming up with Rhus Tox which I took in 30c potency once per day on 2 successive days. It seemed promising enough to want to see where I might be able to go from here. (I swept the front porch today without needing to rest in the middle! And it is almost 11PM and I am still up.
Caustica and Phosphorus and Lachesis also came up as having high percent matches.
I am 43 Years old female, single, no children, first got "sick" at about 28-32 years old--diagnosis at that time was "autoimmunity" like MS or Lupus. Later discovered a thing called Porphyria which is characterized by being unable to process (detoxify) many chemicals including allopathic medications--and typically turns the urine reddish during attacks.
Had lots of vaccinations for foreign travel as a toddler, too much antibiotics throughout life, including for suspected Lyme disease, and pneumonia, very bad chicken pox in late teens--I think the vaccines and antibiotics are a big part of the problem I have had for the last, wow, 10-15ish years. Also mercury fillings (but none left now). Also was exposed to radiation.
Am light skinned and burn easily with many moles, and had a malignant melanoma which was surgically removed.
And I adore dogs!!! (to be with and train and so on, not as a food ;) )

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Where I am now with this and more questions.
I ordered a kit plus a few extra remedies--incl. some for the dogs--msinly 30c as the start toward my first aid supply.
I suppose I should give some more about myself in case of possible remedy suggestions for my chronic situation that might be suggested. At the same time in my own searches I am wondering if the focus should be on looking at remedies that have particularly high over all matches on the software on this site, or looking at particularly unusual symptoms or personal features that might more help distinguish one from another?
I am also wondering the following: If there is a remedy that would be best for someone, but that remedy is not avail. does that mean others are not right and will leave someone without help? For example in a thread on anxiety where person ended up with Carcinosin suggested. If that person could not get Carc. would other things still be helpful?

Other personal symptoms or qualities that might be helpful to find a right remedy:
Like people but tend toward introversion, maybe mysticism.
Very drawn to animals, nature, esp dogs as mentioned.
Like chocolate (how long do I need to wait after taking a remedy to have any?)
Sometimes want salty foods, but not too much salt too often.
Like spicy flavorful foods e.g. Thai or Indian etc. cuisine.
Thought I would feel better at seashore, but when I went I didn't.
Chemically sensitive.
Sensitive in general--heat, cold, noise, emotions, news and world events can disturb me...
Moles. Burn easily. Melanoma.
Frequent nose bleed, esp when exposed to chemicals.
Fragile teeth. Strong fingernails.
Cognitive problems, but when not having cognitive problems smart, intellectual tendencies.
Am Untidy. But frustrated by it. I prefer tidy.
Work involved cognitive skills. (was drawn to idea of being a veterinarian and sometimes regret not having done that)instead went toward law since was also drawn toward compassionate notions of "justice" ... "human rights" etc. Am not able to do my work now due to cognitive problems and fatigue which is very frustrating.
