Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
Severe pms, have also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have pcos.


2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

Severe pms, 2 weeks prior to menstruation, from ovulation I wake up feeling like I have changed.
a heavy weight from head to toe, feel raging inside and have heat building up inside, i also get thrush closer to memstruation, headaches, sore breasts, nausea, body aches.
Even my facial muscles feel tense, clenched jaw.
Day or 2 before period, really bad lower back ache, really heavy achey legs!



3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?

Feel bogged down, tearful, depressed, anxious, paranoid, feel worthless, feel angry, negative!

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?

I just feel like I am better off not being here at all, feel like I am totally worthless.


5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?

I didn't have periods through most of my twenties so was unsure my emotions were connected to my hormones but I would say I have been up and down even then.
Past few years have been seriously bad and now I have regular periods I know it is 2 weeks prior sometimes 3.
A friend of mine hung herself a few years ago, when it seemed to have got worse.
I didn't sleep before 2am every night for 4 or 5months after that and drank quite alot of wine most nights to switch off (I don't drink like that now)


6. Which time of the day you are worst?
Mornings and late evenings I guess but pretty much I feel quite bad all day.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?

Stressful situations, busy places lack of sleep, too much sugar.
Exercise helps a little and yoga and ironically a coffee clears my thinking for a while on times(but not for long)



8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?

Defiantly menses, I'm not feeling totally balanced with my work life situation. Have relocated and am working somewhere I don't really want to but I need the job right now to pay the bills until I am straight.

Hot sunny weather, dry weather.

I do feel quite headachey and tense

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?

I don't mind if it is from someone close or to explain to someone why I am quiet(in work for instance) but I think I prefer if someone is just companionate and gives me space.

Yes

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?

Causeless weeping

When I am in pms state my bfriend drives me crazy and I feel like I don't want to be with him anymore.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?

I tend to have nightmares when I have pms and wake up feeling like something g bad is going to happen.
I sometimes dream about current situations but a very negative side to it all.

I hope that it all makes sense.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

I have tried many natural supplements and have also been to the doctor about this. Nothing I have tried seems to help.
Feeling a whits end! Constantly on the Internet researching and looking in forums which is how I came across this one.
Just really want my old self back. Feel like it has gotten control of me!
I do take magnesium, cod liver oil. Pro biotics, and vitamin E.
Not sure if that would make a difference to homeopathy or not.

Thank you :-)

I was 12 had first period for 14 days then didnt have another one for 12months or so

Thank you so much telescope x
I'm in the u.k, have just looked online and doesn't seem to be anywhere that sells it.
Have found on amazon something called Calc carb 30c, nelsons brand.
Would that be the same thing? Will look in the chemist to see if its available there.
Also sorry, have just realised yo asked about the pain, how when did it start.
It started from my neck and shoulder about 3 years ago but all over and hands and feet etc about 18 months ago.
Don't know if that changes anything.
Thank you

I have found some 1m on eBay. They have very good reviews so I think will be ok.
Do I just take the one pilule then no more at all after that?

Simone......really also thank you so much, I will order some from them in the morning.
Will look them up.

Ok thank you telescope :-)

One more thing...,.,,I know you said to stop all other meds, does that include minerals etc that I also take? Magnesium etc?

Thank you so much

Ok, thank you for your advice. Will let you know how I get on. Am also booked in for blood tests this morning again to see if anything comes up.
Will keep you posted.
Thanks for taking your time and knowledge to help me

Hi telescope,
I am so sorry to keep asking you questions now but the remedy has arrived.
It's tiny little pills, is that what you mean by globules?
To just take 4 or 5? And just the one dose only?
Sorry, haven't taken them like this before and doesn't have any advice with the bottle.
Thank you

I am sorry, have just re-read your last message. You did say one dose already.
Thank you
