Dr Nawaz - new thread for my case... _{Page 2 of 3}

Hi Dr Nawaz - the Avena Sativa 1x remedy just came in, I will get it tomorrow.

I just started my menstrual cycle today. Shall I begin the remedy tomorrow?

Most of my symptoms have been a lot worse in the past week. Joint pain, muscle pain, very fatigued.

Thanks again.

Dr Nawaz - I thought that I did report that, I've been in pretty bad shape over the past month. I thought that you were saying that the Avena Sativa would be a remedy for some of these things and I have been waiting for it to arrive as it is a special order.

In general Ars Alb seemed to make things a little worse.

Also before you took my case I had taken one pill of Sepia 10M in small sips over a weeks time.

I am wondering if perhaps some of my symptoms may be an aggravation from that, particularly because the joint pain I have had is new. I have had very mild joint pain and this is now intense and disturbs sleep.

I apologize if I was not clear. There are a lot of symptoms these days and they get really bad, then slightly better but there is no general improvement yet.

No this period is pretty easy. On the first morning (Thurs) I woke up at 4am with mild cramps, was awake for awhile then slept again. I had cramps and I needed to teach yoga in the morning so I took a Tylenol. But if I could have just relaxed at home with a water bottle I wouldn't have needed to.

The flow has been regular, not a lot as it has been sometimes in the past.

As soon as my period comes I feel a sort of relief and a lightening of my mood. I had been especially anxious in the week before and the night before my period. Things have begun to feel a little better.

My potassium was high and so I eliminated juicing for a few days and have eaten very light with lots of water and mild diuretic teas. This may also be why muscle weakness is better.

I will start Avena Sativa in a couple of days, for how many days should I take 4 pills a day?

Thank you very much for your prayers, I'm sure that means the most of all.

I have just taken the Mag Phos and have taken the first dose. I pray that the remedy helps or that whatever else I need to do is shown to me.

I feel particularly bad today. I feel weak, really fatigued, anxious and light-headed. And the general muscle weakness in my legs is strong. My hands and feet are really cold. Something just feels really wrong in my body.

Also my doctor says that I have carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be why I have so much hand pain but there is also overall muscle weakness.

I'm supposed to get a host of tests tomorrow to see how kidneys are doing, and possibly to test for hypothyroidism and diabetes, as well as general blood tests so I guess I will see soon if there is something further to do.

Hi Dr Nawaz,

So I got my test results back...

There were no significant findings for hypothyroid and diabetes test which is very good. Also C-reactive protein was very low so hopefully that means that Rheumatoid arthritis and lupus are unlikely. Hemoglobin and Hematocrit were below normal, although Ferritin was a healthy 151.

I took 3 doses of the Mag Phos 200C. The first day a little better, but worse the first night, very little sleep. The second and third day all symptoms a little better.

The wrist braces are helping a lot too with the carpal tunnel. My nervous system feels like it is beginning to settle down.

Do you think I should take Avena Sativa and what dosage? It sounds like it will be a good remedy for me.

Creatinine is marginally better, it is 165 (1.86) from 169 (1.9) a month ago. This is a decline from six months ago when it was 135 (1.6). This is the are that concerns me the most about all my health problems and I really hope that homeopathy can help. Do you have any ideas on what could be done to support my kidneys?

Thanks for your support and prayers.

Hi Dr Nawaz -

Thanks again for your prayers.

I have Berberis Vulgaris 6C and can probably special order 3X. So 3X would be a better dosage for me?

Have you ever seen people's kidney function get better with homeopathy? the other remedies I have heard of regularly used for kidney function is Solidago Virga and Serum Anguillae. I am at the point where the Doctor says I will need to start thinking about dialysis.

With Gratitude

My first couple doses of Avena Sativa feel really good, quite positive actually. An immediate feeling of calming down, a little more energy, more balanced.

So the newest news is that the nephrologist thinks that my recent symptoms may be do to a functional anemia. My ferritin levels are normal but the red blood cells and iron have dropped below normal range so the ability to absorb iron is too little.

It is kind of borderline at the moment but he says if I don't feel better I should consider taking EPO injections.

Is there something that can help anemia? Symptoms that I have had related to this is fatigue, muscle weakness, cold hands and feet, things that I've been reporting.

So news is that I had an awful night last night, all muscles agitated, legs aching, perhaps even restless leg syndrome related to anemia. And BP high, could barely rest at all. Cold and shaking.

Maybe I should take EPO cause this is just really bad to not sleep and to have so many symptoms.

Urea is 12.3 right now which is actually a little lower.

I'm sure Ferrum Phos 30C will be easy to get. How many doses should I take in a day?

Okay thanks...things have stabilized again. This has been quite a journey, I don't think I've been this sick in my life.

Lots of natural things like foot massage & moxibustion and walking more have helped. I also did a little iron supplementing to see if it would help and I think it did as I feel more normal.

Avena Sativa seemed to be remedy that was very effective...

Should I start the Berberis again morning & night? (4 pellets)

Blessings

Okay...so not the best day today...feeling chest pains and very cold and spaced out. A good day seems to be followed by a bad one. Something that seems to help is taking Iron Citrate with a vitamin C pill.

Also my blood pressure is definitely high, even though I am on a full dose of bp medication. Two months ago I was on half a dose with very well-controlled blood pressure.

I seem to have lost the Ars Alb 200, I can't find it anywhere...

Any ideas of what remedy to take? Just out of curiosity when I was taking Sepia 30C regularly it seemed to really regulate my blood pressure.

The thing is that I have a huge event coming up all next weekend. I have to do some work for that, and then after that I can be much more relaxed and flexible. I have tried to let go of a lot of work but at the moment there is still important things that others can't do...

Sorry forgot to mention other symptoms are digestive upset, feeling gas & hard to digest anything, mild nausea and not hungry and some pain in the left side.

Berberis Vulgaris morning & night
Avena Sativa

I did try a couple of doses of Belladonna because digestion was keeping me up.

Hi Dr Nawaz...

Found the Arsenicum Album 200C! I did a mantra to find lost things...and it worked.

I await your ideas.

I also was wondering, it seems like it is kind of emergency mode at the moment, what are your ideas on finding a single remedy like a constitutional remedy?

Or is it just uncovering the layers at this point...

Blessings always

Hi Dr - I took Belladonna 200C 2 pellets two nights ago when stomach pain was the most and 1 dose yesterday 2 pellets. It did help somewhat on both occasions.

Okay now I feel fatigued and cold - my BP was too high last night so I couldn't fall asleep till late and ended up taking an extra 1/2 dose of BP meds. I also had chest tightness and a little arrhythmia last night. I guess that can be a symptom of low hemoglobin. My BP monitor shows arrhythmia.

Digestion is still weak and low appetite. I feel anxious. However the muscle pain is a little less so I feel more able to do things. I feel a little more positive.
