The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Dr. Kempson
I am a 24 year old female. I have been experiencing difficulting concentrating while reading and studying, feel very tired. I become irritated very quickly when I have a disagreement with friends, loved ones. Instigate situations to fight with my loved ones and end up feeling embarassed after the fact. Become frustrated and feel victimized although I know my loved ones mean well for me. Always chilly, feel better when warm.Addiction history with opiates, was addicted to painkiller oxycontin in college 3 years ago for about 1 year. have also experimented with many stimulants, including adderoll.
This may account for difficulty concentrating since adderoll served as a study enhancement.
Urinate frequently, no bladder infection.
Want to succeed but frequently feel inadequate and become angry.
Tried Wellbutrin but no substantial effect. Currently on no meds (including self meds) except I have been taking Lycopodium 30C 5 pellets 3 times per day for 2 days.
Looking for advice...
Thanks in advance

GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION
It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.
Please do not answer each of the following questions by placing all your problems in each one. Each of these questions needs to be answered for each problem eg. For you headaches answer 1-7, then for your reflux answer 1-7 and so on.
1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occurring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR HEALTH BY PROVIDING ALL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, EVEN IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN ONE, AND EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER IT OF LESS IMPORTANCE. You should address each problem separately using the above 7 questions as a guide.
As well as this, please describe any traumatic incidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.
Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.
Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.
Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow, especially where this occurred around the beginning of your disease, or as the disease evolved.
Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases. Your parents may need to help you answer these questions.
If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
8. Describe your menstrual cycle
I will probably have more questions for you after that.
I also need to know what homoeopathic remedies you have taken in the past, and what the results were.

Concentration
1. Difficulty concentrating. I want to study and dedicate time to accomplish my academic aspirations, but when I it down and begin reading or calculating, I feel fuzzy and my eyes begin wandering. I also begin to feel fatigued and thirsty. I work in field sales so I am driving on the road by myself all day and then must come home to study.
2. I will read a sentence and have no idea what I just read because my mind is wandering. My tongue gets dry.
3. The problem doesn't get worse it just hasn't really gotten better.
4. I have not found relief for my lack of concentration, extra sleep doesn't help.
5. The problem is triggered anytime I have to read or calculate.
6. Same as 5
7. I noticed the problem about a month ago when I started to prepare for an important exam.
Irritability/ irrational thought
1. When I disagree with someone I immediately become irritated, and feel that person is out to victimize me, even if that person is a loved one. In the back of my mind, I know that the situation isn't seriou, but I feed into it and create my own feelings of being threatened or feeling inadequate. I feel belittled by others accomplishments, and inadequate when envisioning my goals.
3. The problem get worse when I think about a particular situation that I do not agree with, or when I have trouble concentrating.
4. Relief is created when I have a fulfilling conversation with a boss or loved one. WHen i get compliments.
5. Triggers when I can't solve a problem or get my point across.
6. I feel more thi way when I work alone during the daytime.
7. Always had this.
Tramatic incident:
Mentally/ Emotionally abuive relationship from age of 15-20.
Together we abused stimulants and opiates.
Became addicted to opiates from age 20-22. Way injesting 80mg of oxycontin daily.
Stopped on my own, cold turkey, no rehab.
parents divored at age 13, never had dominant male figure in my life.
5 year relationship caused me to loe many good friends, so I substituted with people that I can spend time with by doing drug together, turned out to be very negative friendships.
My life has changed substantially and I have many healthy, loving relationships, but I still at time feel guilty and inadequate due to my lonely drug abue history. I am trying to leave the past behind but I feel like it creeps up and makes me feel like I coul dhave been so much smarter or more successful presently, had I not engaged in uch mind numbing behavior.
I haven't exactly found a way to cope, which is why I get into fights with my loving boyfriend, whom I take my agression and feeling of inadequecy and guilt on. I make up situations to be angry at him and argue with him. I want to find a way to cope asap because I greatly value him.
Patterns:
I feel better when i speak with a friend or family member and feel like I regained confidence, but it is lot very quickly and I feel inadequate to my superiors when speaking with them.
I feel lonely at work and do not like working by myself, but in my field I need to continue my education to change industries. This scares me becauwe of my difficulty concentrating while I am tudying for an exam to be admitted into Grad school.
1. I crave cheese and chocolate.
Rye bread tastes like feet to me.
2. I love sweetened hot tea.
3. I sleep very well
4.Rain and lack of sun makes me feel heavy and down.
5.None
6. Energy fairly low, feel very fatigued most of the time.
7. High sexual energy
8. Regular menstral cycle, very painful first 2 days
About a year ago, I took sepia for mood swings.
I have be taking lycopodium for the past 2 days, boiron 5 pellets 3X per day.
I really appreciate your help. In the past I have relied on self medication through pharmacudicals and I do not want to do that anymore.
Thank you in advance!

Ok this is a good start. Very nicely organized too.
Can you describe more on this 'fuzziness' you get when you concentrate?
How is it that you feel other's victimize you?
What kind of situations do you get into disagreements over?
How is it you feel inadequate?
Who are your 'superiors' and why are they in that position?
What does it feel like to have your past creep up on you?
How does speaking to others help your confidence?

When I read something, I feel like my train of thought slows down, like I am not registering everything I am reading, and I have to read it again.
I always feel like someone is taking advantage of me. Even a friend. For example, if have plans to drive somewhere together with a friend, and my friend asks me to drive instead of offering to drive first, I begin to question whether he or she believes she can 'step all over me'
I have difficulties making decision about everything, and I think that interplays when I try to evaluate everyones true motives. I guess it may sound as if I'm paranoid.
I feel inadequate because I feel like I hsould be smarter than I am but I feel my history with drugs may have altered my competence. This may stem from shame for my actions in the past and I may just tie it all i together. I am not sure exactly how the brain is affected and how long it takes to heal.
By superiors I just mean upper management in terms of my job.
When I thin of the past, I think of all of the emptiness I felt for a long time, how I did drugs to find sanity since loneliness mad me feel like I may go insane. I mostly lament over lost time and opportunities. I feel shame from the past.
When I speak to others in synchrony, I feel pleasure.
I also have an ager issue. It gets worst during menstruation. It feels like a monster is inside of me and I become extremely angry and take it out on my boyfriend but yelling at him for situations that are not a big deal. After the 'rage' I feel numb and quiet and then convince myself that i'm angry at what happened even though in the back of my mind I know that Im angry for no reason. It's like there are two of me inside and I can't synchronize them and trust myself.
