Antidote Nux vom _{Page 7 of 7}

Is the loss of confidence still occurring or getting better?

How is the lack of energy, staring look, no life force, drooping eyelids?

So it seems you reached the point of aggravation, which is the saturation point for stopping a LM potency. It went on for a bit longer than I would hope, but this is quite usual in any case where there is physical pathology. There has then been a slow improvement on some of those locations - energy, confidence primarily.

Those symptoms around the energy, drooping lids, staring etc - are they all old symptoms?

New symptoms? Hmmm, that is worrying. It is odd though, a lot of general improvement but with new symptoms.

There are a number of medical situations to consider here - stroke and bell';s palsy are the two I would be most concerned about. Have you been to a doctor for examination?

Because I have no way to do this for you, I would suggest going to an orthodox medical doctor right away. It is important to know exactly what we are dealing with here.

If it is related to the remedy and not to some pathology, it usually implies the dose is too high and you have developed proving symptoms, ALTHOUGH another possibility is that the remedy is quite close to what you need but not being exact enough you are developing symptoms on top of it that are related to the remedy.

This could be to your own oversensitivity as well. Hypersensitive patients may actually prove every remedy they take.

It does concern me though. The symptoms themselves do not appear in Palladium at all - so it is not a known proving reaction (side effect). It suggests to me it is some medical problem occurring.

If I look at the following symptoms:

Eyes, staring
Falling of eyelids
Indifference to everything
Vacancy of thoughts

... I see 4 remedies - Gelsemium, Kali-phos, Lycopdium, Phosphorous.

Based on the whole case, I would strongly consider either Gelsemium or Lycopodium. Gels looks appropriately for the symptoms, while Lycopodium has many similarities to Palladium.

Can you get both remedies in 30c?

I agree that Sunflower needs to get checked with a scan or MRI.

See the following:

Thank you Evocationer, When I took the Nat Mur initially I felt great, self esteem improved,however, about 10 days afterwards I had this loud bang in my head, and I had an important exam the following day. I could not put 2 sentences together. I was just staring into space. I thought things would improve and recently was given another dose of Nat Mur and I am in a state of not knowing whats going on around me. I just want to get back to old self

I am much better, thanks Simone 717, and I actually look so much better physically, eyes are brighter etc
I did not go to MD as it was a once off, I never heard it since. I did have a head injury when I was 8, banged my forehead on concrete and was physically sick afterwards

That sounds like a cerebral event of some kind, and it might be being aggravated by the remedies, as tissue changes tend to do.

I am definitely concerned by the appearance of such symptoms. I would like to get a medical opinion on them.

Have you been prescribed those before?

Ok good. That is fortunate. Start with Gels 30, one dose only. Tell me what has happened in 2 days.

So that seems worse. Is that what it feels like to you?

Opium is the antidote of nux vo

What did the doctor say about the various facial symptoms? Did he give a diagnosis?

So he thought it was irrelevant? That is odd.

I don't feel very confident in his diagnosis, but I suppose we will have to go on assuming there is no pathology. This bothers me because one of the things our remedies can show up is undiagnosed tissue changes.

Run through the symptoms again giving me an idea of what is better or worse with percentages.

That is great Sunflower. Not able to
public speak with looking people in the
eye is a common thing to get over in
doing Public Speaking.

I think the hardest thing in homeopathy
is being patient and waiting--it really
paid off here for you.

Excellent! That is good news overall.

Simone could be right - perhaps some other kind of work related to public speaking could help? Sometimes things become habits, and must be unlearned not just cured.

I would keep waiting though, in terms of taking more homoeopathy.
