Hi,

I went to the market today but Apis Mellifica 30c was not available in my city.

Can you suggest some other remedy or I should order it online.

I took Arnica 30c wet dose. ( 4 drops in some water at bed time) and it relieved my pain to some extent. Your thoughts ??

hi Simone717,

Thanks for your advice. So, that means I should be taking Arnica 30c for pain alongside Apis Mellifica 30c which homeo.mzp has prescribed.??

Or I should go for Apis Mellifica 30c alone..I am confused..

Thanks

Thanks Homeo.mzp for reply..

I will take Arnica 30c the same way and will report you on 11th of Feb. Thanks

In the meantime I will search for Apis Mellifica

Thanks

hi Homeo.mzp,

I have managed to purchase Apis Mellifica 30c. Let me know if I have to start taking it.

Thanks

Hi homeo.mzp,

Arnica seems to have relieved pain in my upper back to some extent which was due to lifting heavy shutter. However, pain in lower back has increased during last 2-3 days. Lower back near hips upper portion seems stiff and painful while sitting and raising.

Hi homeo.mzp,

I have started taking liquid form of Apis Mell 30c as advised. Should I report you 7 days after stopping the doses or 7 days from today.?

Hi homeo.mzp,

I am suffering from flu since last night. Having watery eyes, runny nose and body pain with fever.

Can I take other homeopathic medicines during the course I am on ( like I have taken 6 doses of Apis Mellifica for 2 days on 12th and 13 the feb and I have to report back to you on 20th with its effects )...

If I can take some other medicines for flu, please suggest one.

Thanks

Hi Homeo.mzp,

I have taken Combiflam and fever is checked by that. I still have nasal blockage and heavy breathing..I m taking anti-allergic like Motelukast for that..

Thanks for your support..

Hi Simone,

I appreciate your interest in my case and providing your valuable suggestions.

I have searched for Reishi mushroom capsules online and I have ordered a pack.

Will get back with progress with Apis Mellifica tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Homeo.mzp,

During this week after taking Apis Mellifica 30c, after 2 days of stopping the course I felt good, light hearted and relieved. I noticed that my mood was good and blood pressure was also not so high. It was around 130/85.

The pain in upper back is around 30% less and lowerback pain is around 20% less.

I have noticed that the blur in my left eye is also reduced.

ok

thanks
