Kaliphos for sleeplessness? Kadwa/Maheeru sir please help.

Can Kaliphos be given for sleeplessness? The lady (my aunt) is 75 years old, has had a triple by pass surgery 5 years ago, has mild diabetes. She currently takes allopathic medications for heart and diabetes.

She has severe back ache around the hip area and sometimes feels like there is a heavy stone near her tail phone area. She also is quite sleepless at night and takes anxit to get some sleep. She feels quite anxious and depressed often.

She is taking the foll. homeopathic meds in wet dose currently:
Arnica 30c thrice a day
Hypericum 200C 4 times a day
Natphos 6x thrice a day
Argentum Metallicum 6C twice a day

Can I ask her to take Kaliphos to help with her back ache and sleeplessness? Should she stop any of the other homeo meds if she take kaliphos? Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
kadwa sir,
Can you please help me with this?

Please report all her symptoms in a comprehensive manner. It is always better to take an individualized remedy. These are general remedies for pain and other conditions which may be less effective.

Thanks sir.
She is 75 has had a triple by pass surgery 6 years back and is mildly diabetic, takes heart and diabetes medication.
These are all her symptoms now:
1)Severe lower back pain and tail bone pain when the pain is severe she also feels some tightening around her chest. She feels like a heavy rock is on her lower back.
She feels some kind of nerve pulling type pain on her legs along with her back pain.
2) She has some knee pain, sometimes quite severe unable to take a step down.
3) Sleeplessness. At night unable to sleep without anxit (allopathy med) but even with anxit only 3 hours sleep. She has some watering of eyes and burning sensation, suspected to be lack of sleep related.
4) Her thought pattern can be too negative often living in the past so much so that she is unable to enjoy the present. This has been her problem even 20 years back.
5) She eats well, has good appetite, though sometimes feels some bitter taste in her mouth - this has been attributed to the fact that her gall bladder has been removed some 15 or so years ago. She is able to cook, walk around the house, etc.
5) She has a very strong personality and wants things done her way, whether it be with the servant or her daughters or friends, its either her way or the high way.

She is slim perhaps under weight.

Thanks for your help.

Please take three doses of Sulphur 200 as follows and see how that affects in next 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 2 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 2 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

Should she stop all the other homeopathic medications while taking the Sulphur?
 
sujisuji last decade
Sir, please advise whether the other homeo meds (arnica, hypericum, natphos and argent met) should be stopped while taking Sulphur?

Thank you.

Dear
It is better to stop all other Homoeo medicines to see the response of Sulpher. Sulpher is a deepseated remedy and almost covers all the symptoms.

Let kadwa comment.

Dr. Mahfooz is right as always. No need to take any other remedies for 15 days. Only sulphur for 2 days and then wait.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you so much Dr. Kadwa and Dr. Mahfooz.

Sir,
Is it ok to apply arnica ointment during this time. She has been using it for pain relief over the past few months. Should that also be stopped. Also, she had started the kaliphos for a week before she started the Sulphur, but has stopped the kaliphos to start the Sulphur. Hope thats ok too. Thanks.

sujisuji last decade
Both the things are ok.
 
kadwa last decade
Thanks Sir, did you mean its ok to use the arnica ointment and kaliphos along with sulphur or did you mean both should be stopped. Sorry about the confusion.
 
sujisuji last decade
Stop Kali Phos. Continue Arnica Ointment.
 
kadwa last decade
Thank you so much sir.

Dear Dr. Kadwa,
She completed the three doses on 11th. On 12th she says she felt some tightening of chest and general weakness and slept for about 6 hours in the middle of the day 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. with no consciousness of the outside world. (as you know she has sleeping issues), then again yesterday night(13th night) she felt some tightening of chest and general weakness, should anything be done? thanks.
 
sujisuji last decade
She should be okay on her own. Let the remedy work.
 
kadwa last decade
ok, thank you so much.
 
sujisuji last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,
15 days have passed, pain has reduced about 50% but sleeplessness is still there. Also signs of depression/negative thoughts increasing again, this had reduced greatly when she was on Kaliphos.
 
sujisuji last decade
Please give her a single dose of Sepia 200 and report back after 15 days.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa, her back pain had stopped but it has come back severely since 2 days back. She was unable to move yesterday most of yesterday. Also is unable to sleep at night even if she avoids sleeping during the day.

sujisuji last decade
Please give her a single dose of Sulphur 200 and see how that affects in few days.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,
She is a bit scared to take sulphur 200 because of last time's reaction. Apparently someone told her that at her age she shouldnt be taking Sulphur. Is there any truth to that?
 
sujisuji last decade
There is nothing like that. One should not take any remedy unnecessarily. We are not doing unnecessary dosing here.
 
kadwa last decade
Dear Dr. Kadwa,
She took a single dose of Sulphur on 27th March and had the same reaction as last time, sweating, almost fainting type feeling, etc. the next day. She says she still has a lot of pain in her back. Her eyes water a lot.
 
sujisuji last decade
Please ask her to take a single dose of Sepia 200 if things don't settle down within a few days.
