Burning Face

Hello! I get pretty frequent headaches (dull throbbing pain in the back top area of my head, with some pain in my eyes again, dull and throbbing) it happens in the afternoon and often times on days where a storm is gathering.
I also suffer from celiac disease, which can cause a myriad of autoimmune responses if I get accidentally glutened. A friend of mine recommended taking Pulsatilla for my headaches, which helped a bit, but made me feel pretty crappy. That was a year ago. I tried it again when the headaches returned, but it didn't cut it this time. Next, Lycopodium Clavatum was suggested. This made me feel wonderful and even had me giggling when I first took it (everything is 30C) HOWEVER, I'd also been having a new autoimmune reaction (burning pain in my right cheek and lips up to my eye and in my right forearm by my wrist which feels like a scrape or being on fire but the skin looks fine. It comes and goes and seems to just flare at random intervals during the day) so stopping the Lycopodium and switching to Sulpher was suggested. I did that and absolutely nothing happened (apparently the sulpher had to be taken to take calercea carbonica which is supposed to help?) Anyway, when the sulpher did nothing it was reccomended I try Rhus Tox for the burning which isn't doing much of anything and now I'm feeling like there are too many remedies, my headaches are back, I'm tired and my skin is killing me. Does anyone have a suggestion here? I need this weird burning to go away and I'm confused as to if I should start this calcarea now.
Thanks so much for ANY help!

Hi Nawaz,
1. ID (I'm not sure what this means?)
2. Age (28)
3. Sex (Female)
4. Single/Married (Divorced)
5. weight (132lbs)
6. Height (5'8)
7. country (Canada)
8. climate (Cold in Winter, Hot in Summer? - Traditional North American Climate)
9. List of your complaints ( Burning pain in right side of face around mouth and up onto eyelid and cheek and in a specific spot on my forearm (1 week), headaches that are dull and in the upper back of my head which occur in the afternoons and sometimes evening. They make me feel drained foggy and sleepy (since I was 14), constipation and occational abdominal bloating (6 months,since going gluten free and only when I eat something I shouldn't), itchy ears with watery discharge that smells sour (2 years) absent period (2.5 years)

10. Since how long are you suffering from each complaint (see above)

11. Diabetic or non-Diabetic (non)
12. Desire sweets/sour/salt (I have cravings for each at random but they're strong, sweet the most and often in the middle of the night I'll want sugar)
13. Thirst (it alternates, but I rarely feel thirsty and often get dehydrated)
14. Tongue and Taste (tounge is a little whiteish, but you can still see pink, really red underneath, taste is normal)
15. Current BP (no BP medicine, 110/75)

16. What exactly is happening? (I've always gotten headaches which happen mostly around storms. I'll go months without one and then they start happening all the time. They make me feel tired and drained and I often need a nap afterwards. The doctor said it could all be related to gluten intollerance, but I've been gluten free for 6 months now with no marked improvement in my headaches. My period stopped after my divorce, but it was always irregular and painful. They said it was ovarian cysts and it would resolve, but it still hasn't. The itchy ears seem to be food related as well, they will crust up on the inside - like a white flake at the entrance to the canal - they'll feel a bit stingy and wet and the discharge that comes out is clear and watery and smells a bit like vinegar. The abdominal bloating and constipation seem to happen when I eat something that doesn't agree - so I understand a lot of what's going on will be better when my diet gets totally under control, but the headaches aren't getting better and now I have this bizarre burning in my face. It sometimes gets so bad that when I breath in it seems like there's something minty that's making the air too cold to breath - but I'm in a heated room when it happens. Cold releives the burning in my face and arm a bit not totally. It seems to be getting worse in intensity and has moved to my eyelid and cheek from just a small area around my mouth.)

17. How do you feel? (I feel tired, but happy - the lyco really made me feel much calmer and smilier even though I feel crappy, I don't have much energy to exercise and I feel a little unfocused and lazy)
18. How does this affect you? (Feeling lazy isn't helpful for working, but I'm enjoying not being quite so angry or critical like I used to be)

19. How does it feel like? (I think I answered this above, if you need more, please let me know)
20. What comes to your mind? (Lots of things? Work? Getting my health in order?)
21. One situation that had a big effect on you? (The death of my boyfriend when I was really young)

22. How did that feel like? (It took years to work through - up until about 3 years ago. It felt horrible, sinking, like I was missing something huge in my life, like I had no control, like I owed it to him to be extra nice to the world to make it up)
23. What sensation do you experience in that situation? (total numbness followed by burning pain)

24. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand (Habits or Actions)? (I'm not big on hand gestures, but I do bite my nails)

25. Current and previous remedies/medicines you are taking or took in the past? (Pulsatilla 30cH, Sulpher 30CH, Lycopodium Clavatum 30ch, Arnica 30ch once for an injury)

26. Family Background (I grew up with my grandparents on a farm, I have a great relationship with my mom as an adult - is that enough?)
27. Educational Qualifications of the patient (Courses after highschool but nothing completed formally past that)

28. Nature of work, what do you do for living? (I'm self employed in advertising for small business)

29. Desires, likes and dislikes for food ( I love fermented things like saurkraut, pickles and kombucha. I can't eat gluten but I used to love bread. I have a soft spot for baked goods like cookies and especially cakes, I don't like chicken thighs or pork (unless it's bacon or ham) I can't drink milk without feeling sick, soy makes me sick too, I love fruit and especially necterines and bananas, I craved salt as a kid - like eating it out of my hand craving, I love peanuts.)

30. Name of foods which increase your problem (breads, milk, soy, sometimes overly processed things and occasionally apples)

31. Mind-behavior, anger, irritability, hurry, impatient…and so on.. How are you different from other persons, public speaking or not , you can describe all of the details about your behavior, love and affections. (I usually feel quite frusterated, like I'm not going fast enough and I have a low tollerance for what I view as silly behaviour on the part of others. I get tied up in knots when I don't feel like I'm living up to my potential and that in turn stops me from doing much except worry. Confrontation parylises me and sometimes makes me shake when it's on a personal level. I hate to critcize people and feel terrible when I see someone hurting and will do my best to offer anything I can. I often burden myself with other people's problems and end up so entwined I have to step away so I can be of any use to them at all. I hate myself for feeling irritable or angry with people when I hear myself critcise them, even in my head, because I know they're trying their best for the most part and I think it's cruel to behave like that. In love, I have high standards that I often think are too high and have trouble settling for anything I don't view as the exactly right relationship)

32. Aggravation (increases-time, season,)& Amelioration (Decreases) (I feel worse around the fall/winter and sometimes in the spring)

33. Attached here your photographs of the affected area. (if required/optional)

34. Location of the disease (head, right side of face, right arm, abdomen/stomach, woman parts)
35. Side of the problem (Right or Left), (Upper or Lower part of body) (right)
36. Color of the secretions/discharges e.g urine, stool, sputum, Saliva etc. (everything's the expected color here)

For Females Only
37. When is the period during the month approx date? Any monthly cycle issues? Regular, early, late, before problems, after problems, pain, any other discharges? (No discharges, period, etc - it's like everything just went away)
38. Are you pregnant? If yes, please give pregnancy start date? Any current issues? (No)

Dear NAWAZ KHAN

Salam to you brother. I want to tell u that pls. give this patient 5 doses of Camphor Q than wait 3-7 days thn start ur treatment process according to patients symptoms.

I have worked on Lycopodium for near about 3 years and my research result about it was astonishing. Lycopodium is very sensitive and one of the most powerful drug of our homeopathic medicine. When it works on a perfect symptoms patients its wonderful thn but when it is given over dosed and wrong body it damages all the major organ as like as kidney and liver and no other medicine is better thn Camphor can stop the collateral damage of Lycopodium.And it should be stopped as soon as possible.

After defusing the Lycopodium action in his body thn give it some rest thn maxymum problems will automatically removed I hope otherwise show u a complete symptom of a perfect match of symptom of another medicine.

thnx

Many prayers for your good health.
