The ABC Homeopathy Forum

evocationer, please read my case

ear evocationer :

i have been dealing with this issue for the past 9 and a half years.
after, my first kid was born, some weeks after i started with a severe pain in my left side of my head, migraine i think it is.
all i know, is the birth was really complicated, and they gave me like 9 times more epidurial, with my provoked an issue with my liver.

these are the symptoms :

intense pain in my left occipital, left eye, left side of the neck, cervical vertebraes.
vomiting sometimes yes and now is a lot less, used to be a lot and specially bile.
the pain always came on the same day, if it was tuesday it was tuesday for months, and then if for some reason changed it remained on the new day again for months.
chills all over my body.
weeping, with no reason.

over the years and after using several holistic techniques, this has changed and it has been getting a little better but is always there.
this is taking my life , is spend 36 to 48 hours a week in a deep pain.
i also saw an homeopath but for financial reasons i stopped i saw some results but nothing outstanding.
i was in treatment for like 2 years,,,,, different remedies.
started with sepia, low doses everyday that i couldnt handle, then 200 c going up to 10 M.
also, spigelia anthelmia also up to 10 M and the last one was , cimmicifuga racemosa, 1M.
because the pain always come right before my period, but also, it comes the week after and the following one , so,,,
at this point i dont know what else to do.
i know homeopathy can heal me, maybe , the remedy wasnt given the right dose .
all the doses were dry, never dilluted.

i do have the pain, in my left eye, left temple, liver, cervical vertebraes, left side of the head.
the only thing that makes me feel a little bit better is to rest with like 2 or 3 pillows, and a towel rolled under my neck.
if i moved forward then the pain is really unbearable.
i cant eat basically nothing,during those daysuntil it finally goes away.
i dont have problem with the light , i dont see any auras, i do have the smell agravated with the food, it bothers me.

please, review my case and help me,,,
thank you

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Sorry this took me so long. Let me post the other parts of the questionnaire for you. Seems like you have done pretty well with the description of the complaint.

MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DESCRIPTION



(Please spend the most time on this section and give detailed answers - the homoeopathic remedy is very often decided on the basis of the mental and emotional state of the patient !)


1. What are the issues in your life that bother you the most. Not physical issues but mental or emotional ones. List each one separately and describe why each one bothers you so much.

2. What emotions are the most troublesome for you? What situations provoke these emotions. How do these emotions make you act? Do you feel any ill effects from expressing or not expressing these emotions.

3. What incidents in your life have had a deep impact on you? Describe each incident in detail and how they made you feel? What did you do in those situations? What effect have they had on your life?

4. What are you afraid of? Especially important are phobias, but it might be objects, situations or events that just produce a high level of anxiety. How do you manage your fears? How do you react when confronted with these fears? What would be the worst situation for you to be put in that would provoke these fears? You may need to talk about each fear/anxiety separately.

5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?

6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they?

7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?

8. When you experience your fears, persistent thoughts, or difficult emotions, what kind of sensation or reactions do you get in your body?

9. When did you feel at your best in your life? What was that like for you? If you imagine the complete opposite of this feeling or moment, what would that be like?

10. Do you feel like you are stuck in a pattern of behavior, especially when trying to deal with your problems? What is this pattern?

11. What difficulties or problems do you have in relationships? Talk about your family, your romantic relationships, your spouse or partner, your friends, and your work colleagues. You may need to talk about all of these separately.

12. List 5 positive things about yourself. Are there any situations where this positive attribute becomes negative (is a problem)?

13. List 5 negative things about yourself. Are there any situations where this negative attribute becomes positive (is useful)?

14. Do you have any reoccurring dreams? Describe them in detail, including any feelings that come while dreaming.

15. Did you have any reoccurring dreams as a child, or earlier in your life? Describe those in detail including any feelings that came with them.

16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?

17. What kind of environment did you grow up in? What problems where there at home, with your family, with your parents, with your siblings, with school?

love and peace 9 years ago
Ok so I selected the following rubrics based on the case you gave:


Ailments from anger with vexation
Pain in liver after anger/after vexation

(I used these rubrics to focus my attention)

Reproaching oneself
Ailments from anger (general symptom)
Ailments from disappointment
Anxiety over money matters
Desire to stay/go home
Anxiety when a time is set
Conscientious about trifles
Ambition increased
Waking after 2am
Profuse perspiration before menses
Menses return after cycle finishes
Ailments since pregnancy
Headache with chills
Pain in eye during headache
Headache with nausea
Head symptoms better for rest
Head symptoms worse motion of head

This drew my attention to two main remedies - Bryonia and Nux-vomica. Next in order of importance (highest to the lowest) was Cocculus, Nat-mur, Vanila, Chamomilla, Nat-sulph, and Coffea.

I think based on which symptoms each remedy was indicated for, I would go with Nux-vomica. Can you obtain 200c in liquid form?

If you have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle (now you have a liquid dose).

If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand

2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water

3. Stir very thoroughly

4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.

This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.

I will get you to take one dose only and report the changes in 7 days.

dear evocationer :

thank you so much for answering my case.
i will prepare the dilution since i know how right now and take it just you told me.
i have to find the dry dose first, but that shouldnt be a problem.
my question is , why after having the liquid dose do you want me to dilute it again, and then take it from there?
what effect has in the human body? is that better than the dry dose?
i am sorry , i want to know, is the first time i heard something like that, and i am curious.
if you can let me know i will appreciate.

again, thank you for your time.

Dr. Hahnemann spent decades refining the dosing process - this is the method he came to from that experience. It allows us to control and change many different aspects of dosing and so adapt to particular problems any patient might have. Dry dosing also tends to produce stronger aggravations, and become less effective over time the more often they are given.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
thank you so much for the explanation.
in my case , all the doses were always dry, and yes, many times the ' healing crises ' were very strong, and were there for several days.


i will keep you posted, thank you for your time.
 
love and peace 9 years ago
Those dry doses can't be adjusted or modified, which means those poor patients who suffer too much on them have to just keep suffering.

I remember a case I had a few years back where a patient had come to me with severe arthritis. She also advised me that she has had strong reactions to homoeopathic medicines, and was very nervous about embarking on treatment again.

I gave her Colchicum 30c 1 drop in 250mls of water (one dose), and she aggravated severely for a week. Although she improved after that, she was very concerned about continuing. I then got her to take those 2 teaspoons and instead mix them into another 250mls of water and take 2 teaspoons. She still aggravated, but it was only for 3 days. The next dose I had her take those 2 teaspoons from the second cup of 250mls and put it in a third cup, take 2 teaspoons out of that. This time she aggravated for 1 day only. We diluted to a 4th cup for the next dose, and she aggravated for 3 hours. Finally when we reached the 5th cup there was only a few minutes of aggravation. This allowed us to give her enough of the remedy to cure her arthritis.

dear dr ;

thank you so much for sharing that experience, for what i am seeing is much better to take the diluted doses than the dry doses.
maybe that is what happen, some of the remedies above mentioned in my case, they did helped me, but then the pain it was coming a lot lot worse, so i didnt know if it was actually me, or the remedy.
because i saw improvement with some of them.

thank you
 
love and peace 9 years ago
dear evocationer :

i would like to add something about my case, i apologize i didnt do it before, i didnt realize, since both times i described my pain, i was in pain, and i couldnt ' think ' that well.
when my pain starts, it always starts with a ' pinch ' in my neck, kind of like a needle pinching there it could be a light pinch or a stronger pinch.
once that happens on the left side of my neck, cervical vertebraes, i think is 2 because that is the one my chiropractor always adjust, then all that i described above happens.
the ignition point is my neck.
i did have x rays a nothing shows there, i never had a ct scan or mri.
i did get phisical therapy, massage , acupunture, and chiropractor treatments, allowing me to strech my pain, but the pinching thing gets worse when i am stressed, the weird thing is that always come in a frequency of 7 days.
this past 2 months is always weekends , no way to get out of it.

thank you for your time, i will get the remedy but i think this info is important for you to have.
 
love and peace 9 years ago
love and peace-

some things for the neck that can help-

1. Sleep on your back with good neck support as this allows the spine
and neck to reset itself naturally. This can be hard to maintain, bc
people wake up and find themselves in the same old positions. One
can put extra pillows etc around so that you will wake up if you
are starting to go into a bad position.

2. Repetitive motion often causes this-you need to check that you
are not doing neck bending reading in bed. looking at the ipad
or tablet in bed, that your eye position at computer is at eye level-repeat
checking of the phone does this also.

The neck bending even tho seems like nothing will accumulate over
time to cause these things- you have to be vigilant and form new
habits.

3. Taking a walk once a day for at least 30 minutes helps- it provides
blood flow increase to the areas of the neck and shoulders and
reduces tension-very important to do this as there are huge benefits.

dear evocationer :

thank you for your help, i did take the remedy but it did make not difference.
i went to the chiropractor and he and also i are suspecting about a nerve being pinched in my neck.

i will keep you posted to how this evolves.

thank you

We would need to do an assessment of the whole case. The local symptom may not be relieved on a single dose - in fact it often isn't. We look to see if there is mental, emotional or general improvement, measure the level of change and the direction of the movement, and then continue dosing at appropriate intervals until all the symptoms are relieved, or a new picture shows itself which requires a new remedy.

Next to each symptom write Better, Worse or Same. If better or worse write a percentage % to represent much.

Feeling disappointed
Anger and frustration
Pain in live when fighting/angry
Sadness and pain in the heart
Pain in the left eye
Crying when fearful with short breath
Too strict with kids
Very sensitive
Too thin
Pain around stomach when hungry
Night sweats before period
Acid odour of sweat
Yellow stain of sweat
No sexual desire
Heavy period first 2 days
Period stops then comes back
Headache before period
Headache during period
Sensitive to the cold, always feel cold
Allergy to dust
Allergy to pollens and grass
Weeping for no reason
36-48 hours a week in deep pain

Please also add any symptoms I have missed, or any new symptoms to this list.

dear dr :

since i was only focused in my left eye pain, can i take another dose and see how it helps?
i didnt pay attention to the other symptoms .

appreciate your answer.

dear dr :

i took another dose of the nux vomica 200c liquid as you told me how to preapare it , thank you so much.
i did it 10 days ago, right on the onset of another attack and vomiting.
after 7 days of the dose, i woke up with a lot of pain in my stomach, pain on the left side of my head ( not in the eye ) and occipital.
i really felt like vomiting but i didnt, the situation resolved on its own after a 3 or 4 hours.
i am assuming this is an aggravation right ?
also during this 10 day period i did have more night sweats and today a pain in my neck , left side.

now i am going to answer the questions that you sent me

feeling disappointed - same
anger and frustration, a little bit better
pain in liver when fighting /angry - same
sadness and pain in the heart -same
pain in the left eye-since i took the dose i have had no pain in my left eye.
crying when fearful with short breath- i didnt cry at all during this 10 days period , but this usually happens right before my period .
too strict with kids - a little worse
very sensitive - same
too thin - same, but my appetite got better
pain around stomach when hungry, little worse
night sweats before period, i will have to wait, i took the remedy right after my period, but the nightsweats got a little worse
acid odour of sweat, worse at night
yellow stain of sweat, same
no sexual desire , same
heavy period first 2 days , i have to wait
sensitive to cold always feel cold, same
allergy to dust , same
allergy to pollens and grass same ( i will be able to notice that in a couple of months )
weeping for no reason, same
36-48 hours a week in deep pain, better i didnt have any this week, but please notice that it used to happend that from time to time i did have a week that i didnt have the pain, so i dont know if this is related to the remedy, hopefully yes.


i will be waiting for your response to see if i have to repeat the remedy .
thank you for your time .
 
love and peace 9 years ago
dear dr :

i left my update yesterday, today i have the pain again, i experience a lot of pain in my stomach, nausea, i did not vomit so far.
pain in my neck a lot, extended to my left eye, left side of the head.
it started a little bit after i ate, and is has been here for like 5 hours, sometimes i feel better and then come back.

i will be waiting for your answer .

thank you .
 
love and peace 9 years ago
Hmmm...very slight changes in just a few areas. Not a great result. To be sure though, I will get you to repeat the remedy each day for 4 days, exactly as before EXCEPT I want you to hit the bottle 10 times. Again, stop if anything gets worse.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
dear dr :

thank you so much for your prompt answer.
the pain has finally gone it lasted like 30 hours, i have exactly the same thing except that the all the pains i have at the same time of the attack they were reduced like 20% and i did not vomit at all.
i did have the pain in the neck , the eye, liver , left kidney but it was a little bit less.
i wanted to let you know what exactly happened.

i will take the remedy as you told me so, and report in like 7 - 10 days is that ok ?

again, thank you for your time and effort .
take care.
 
love and peace 9 years ago
Interesting - that does suggest the remedy has had some effect, since the attack was different to normal.

Let me know what has happened at the end of 7 days.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
dear dr :

today is have been seven days since i started to take the remedy for 4 consecutive days.
it was a very good time since it was just before my period so i was able to observe the reaction from the remedy.
on the second day , i felt very bad, again, pain in my neck , head, and a lot of pain in my stomach,the pain subside within 3 to 4hours.
so i kept taking the remedy the other 2 days .
my night sweats were greately diminished , i did have some though.
my irritability due to the pms it was basically none.
on the fifth day which i did not take the remedy, my period came, and i woke up already with a lot of pain in my neck, and head, not on the left side but all over the head like a lot of pressure.
then after several hours it was gone.
yesterday, i started to have the pain again, a lot in my left eye, pain in liver, left kidney, and in my neck.
the pain was unbereable, i almost vomit, i laid down and almost didnt sleep.
today i woke up and the pain is gone, so basically it lasted like 12 hours a lot less than usual, and with the same symptoms but less intense.
i did cry a lot but less time,
so far today i am not able to tell you if my period will stop or not in the middle of the cycle i will in a few days.
also i experienced out of the blue a shortness of breath that lasted just a few hours and it was gone.

what should i do ? wait or repeat the remedy ?
i think it did work and a lot better than other options i took before.

thank you for your help .
 
love and peace 9 years ago
Repeat the remedy straight away. Hit the bottle 10 times. Take one dose only.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
dear dr :

i took the remedy a week ago.
after 4 days my pain came back, and 6 days after the last attack.

this is what happened on monday :

intense pain in my neck, left eye, very painful my left temple.
vomit a lot better only one time.
pain in liver 80% better.
weeping 80 % better .
chills 90 % better.
my period was better even though it stopped but was a lot better than before taking the remedy.
waking up active mind better 40 %

the episode was very painful, it started as usual, in the afternoon but lasted like 6 hours less .

should i wait, or repeat the remedy again ?

i think your choice of the remedy is working very well, thank you so much.
