Help Needed - Multiple Problems _{Page 3 of 7}

Hello John:

Still in Pain:

After making the post last night, I put a warm water bottle on the neck & right side of the head & went to sleep. The spamodic/throbbing pain continued in the neck but was ok on the right side of the head. Anyway, I forced myself out of the bed & read your reply & took CV 30C at 4:30AM. Initially I thought, it was helping (pain reduced & abdomen felt light & started feeling hungry) and I went back to sleep. Currently, it is 8:30AM & I have it very very severe throbbing pain in the neck.

When the pain is very strong, it is making me nauseatic/ uneasiness in the chest. It (pain) feels worse on lying down, but better on elevated position. The throbbing stops on resting in elevated postion or just plain sitting. I feel a lot of gas in my abdomen, moving around & rumbling noises, even though I am passing a lot too. The back of my neck feels very very stiff on feeling/checking by hand... I can feel the stiffness too.

John, answering your questions on characteristics which are different on the pain... the initial intensity was very very low when I got the headaches or when it started. Usually (although lately happening before Hepar Sulph) I get this pain when I wake up in the morning & the intensity is already too high. But if the pain starts some time during the day, it starts very low, like stiffness first, then light pain etc. So I know that time that I need to control it immediately or this pain is going to be very severe like the current situation. Once it becomes stronger, I had to pump in more allopathic remedies to control the pain ( in the past, no allopathic remedies taken now).

To be honest I am not completely stopped coffee etc. but avoiding all acidic stuff. I don't think this pain got triggered due to food issues, because I don't recall eating anything that might trigger this. In general, from past experience, I have not been able to relate any food intake with my headaches. I think my headaches are more of periodic nature. I had been eating simple home cooked meals. I hope I have answered all your questions.

Thanks & Best Regards,

Hello John:

All the pain is gone, have not taken NV 30C.

Update: After waking up, even though I had severe pain as mentioned before, it started getting better, I waited to watch & it got even better. So by 10:30AM the pain was gone 95%. Then it came lightly on the right side of the head, I slept & I am fine now... no pain but just tired and quite exhausted physically & mentally.

So may be the CV 30C taken earlier today did help. I have not taken NV 30C as suggested earlier because of the above mentioned changes. If you still want me to take NV 30 or another dose of CV 30, then please do let me know.

This is the first time, that my headache so severe subsided with homeopathic remedies. I had been given CV 30 by a homeopath in the past (thru online) to control the pain but it had not worked... just wanted to let u know.. so if it is helping now, then there definitely some changes for the better have occurred after Hepar.

Thanks for your help,
Kind Regards

Hello John:

Sorry to bother you again. This may sound like a kid that I can't make up my mind, but the right side headache (upper part of the head) has started again and is fairly strong... no spasms, spasms/throbbing is only felt on the back of the neck. Currently, there is no pain in the back of the neck but you know this pain sometimes travels from the right side (upper section) of the head to right back side of the neck & vice versa.

Should I take or NV or CV to control the pain if increases any further?

Thanks & Best Regards

Dear John:

I have received Hepar Sulph Calc. 200C, please advise.

I did not take Nux V 30C yesterday, as I was able to do without it as the pain subsided. Today again, in the morning around 9AM, I had pain on the right side of the head, quite a bit but then went away, i.e. got better on its own... so no additional medicines taken. I am continuing on my priobiotics.

I am currently bloated and frequently passing gas.

Thanks & Best Regards

Should I go ahead & take Hepar Sulph 200C? I was asked to check with you before taking it.

Thanks

Dear John:

No headache/neck pain occurred today. Rest is all same.

Please advise, wait or take a remedy?

Thanks

John:

I am not much of a coffee drinker. I only drink half a cup of coffee & is not difficult to quit. The only time I have craving for coke is when I am bloated & are about to have a headache or during headache when I don't feel good.

I am curious as to why this was raised again? Is there a major conflict or concern?

I have increased my dosage of priobiotics from once a day to twice a day from today.

Thanks

Hello John:

I took Hepar Sulph 200C as indicated on July 14th (almost a week ago). I had doubled my dose of priobiotics also the same day.

Initially I felt that I was much better in terms of gas & bloatedness. Since day before yesterday, I am heavily bloated & very gassy. Last night, my stomach felt like a balloon with no passing of gas.. I did get a little concerned but was OK in the morning .. passing a lot of gas.... but not the rest of the day.

Initially, when I started priobiotics, I felt that my bowel movement was more thorough & gave me a very good, clean feeling inside... then it became back to same as before. Then when I got over my initial adjustment of body to priobiotics, I doubled the dosage, I felt the same thorough bowel movement in the morning (more bulkier too). After two days my body adjusted again & I am back to the same way I used to be before. Now on & off I am getting the feeling that I am kind of getting a little constipated..not having a full clear bowel movement as before the start of the priobiotics.

My energy level was really low, day before yesterday.. although currently not as bad as that day, still very low, especially mentally. I have been exercising quite regularly & was hoping that even without any medications I would start to feel better mentally & physically in terms of energy.

I am scratching the same way on my legs & snoring the same way... no change yet. Initially on taking Hepar the scratching had reduced but it has picked up again. I also had an increase of some nasal discharge (colorless/whitish) in the morning for first few days of taking Hepar but not any more.

My left knee feels a little weak.. don't know if it is due to the tennis I have been playing or is related to the weakness I feel.

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,

Dear John,

Do I need to take any further action or just stay put for now? I know it's only been a week since I have taken Hepar Sulph.

Thanks & Best Regards

Hello John:

Yes, sometimes there is rumbling noise associated with gas. Alongwith the noise I feel the gas moving in my abdomen but won't pass it out. I did have bad odor 2 days ago for one day only.. not any more. No pain associated with gas. Gas is mostly all day but less in the morning hours, although I do pass a lot of gas right after I wake up & still in the bed. My bloatedness increases as the day passes. I have not been able to pin-point if more after or before eating. No aggravation before after or during stool.

One thing I have noticed that if I am sitting in a meeting with somebody my gas rumbling/noise increases, although I have a sitting job all day long & this does not happens.

Any time I take a little stress.. any kind it goes to my abdomen, bloats it up. Also, sometimes I will feel my neck feeling stiff & mild headache on the right side if I take stress, but not always... it affects more on the abdomen.

Thanks

I am currently bloated heavily for the last 2 days. Don't feel much gas but passing some only.

As you know I sweat heavily in general & with exercise I had been sweating really badly while playing tennis outdoors. I did not play for the last 2 days & feel my body is holding fluids, feels overall heaviness/bloatedness all over the body. I think the weight I had lost in last few months, kind of gained back half of it in the last 2-3 days. I feel that my abdomen is currently distended more than what it was 2-3 days ago.

Thanks & Best Regards

None

The priobiotics been taken sometimes once a day only or sometimes twice a day.

John,

I usually drink a glass full water first thing in the morning to have a bowel movement that time of the day. The stools are usually on the soft side (not loose), dark brown (I think, but on the dark color side for sure), no mucous, no blood but definitely foul smell which is sometimes strong or sometime light.

I usually fall asleep immediately on going to sleep as I feel that I am short of sleep. I need 7 to 8 hrs of sleep and have a good all night sleep, don't get up for water or bathroom visits etc. I do snore immediately and probably all night long. I rarely have dreams but there is currently no pattern to those dreams.

Thanks

Additionally, my tongue is still coated white easpeically on the back side. I have some puffiness on the top part of my cheek bones (not below the eyes).

Thanks
