Feel the cold
Dear all,I am looking for a way to warm myself up. My feet and hands are very cold. If I move around in a warm environment they warm up but for a short while. In winter I have to stand close to some type of heater to feel comfortable. Even drinking some cold water or having cold food can have me shivering within moments. Generally the bodily coldness does not bother me during summer.
My general likings for food are milk, fatty meats, ham, butter, cream etc. However, my diet does not include most of this stuff. I do eat lots of vegetables and beans. After taking nat mur 1m about a couple of months ago I developed a liking for apples and oranges in the evening and some pickles. I also noticed that my appetite increased at first but other than that I didn't notice much difference in anything else.
Probably this bodily coldness has to do with emotional freezing and inertia, for which I also would like to be helped. A kind of indolence in all levels.
I burn my energy very easily. After work do not have energy to cook or clean. As a result there is lots of mess in my place of living. In my childhood I used to be very ordered and clean my room very often but now at 30 and for the past 7-8 years cannot do so. Seems like I cannot handle it, so I let it be. Just try to hide it from others, which makes me antisocial at times when I would really like company.
I hope for a constitutional remedy to help heal all levels
Thank you
Cecilia

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
If you are not bothered by untidyness and like fat foods try
one dose of Sulfur 1m on 3 sucessive days. Then wait about 3 weeks to judge result

A couple of weeks before, on the 24th and 25th of January I took 6 doses of ars 30 in total as suggested by Dr. Sajid Mahmood in a previous post.
For the next few days following ars, I noticed that my hands would remain somewhat warmer than usual, even though the weather was extremelly cold. However, I feel that the improvement was rather slight and not lasting long.
What impressed me though, is that my eyes stopped watering in the open air or closed and dry places. I used to get this so often that I could not put any eye make up on. In the last two weeks I got this symptom a couple of times and it was very light, when in the past I used to get it twice per day and I had to rub my eyes hardly to make it pass.
Also I got some constipation with a feeling of bodily muscular tightness. Constipation had not bothered me seriously for the last 7 years due to careful monitoring of foods. Emotionally I feel very tight and easily irritated along with the same degree of internal psychological inertia.
Concerning appetite it is less than usual. Things that tempted me in the past don't seem to have the same effect now.
Another thing possibly useful to add is that after I took the fifth dose of ars I felt a strange feeling of pressure on the spinal cord, as if two fists were pressing either side of the cord in an upwards fashion. When this feeling reached the level of lower chest I sensed a kind of bubbling in the lunds. That resulted in improving, but not totally stopping, the coughing fits that were troubling me for some time due to a serious cold.
What would you suggest? Should I take a higher dose of ars or move to another remedy?
Thnak you

Dr Sajid Mahmood,
last Tuesday (14th of Feb.) I had a rather strong cold again in a very short time. It has mostly cleared up now, although, I still cough occasionally and my voice is slightly hoarse.
I do feel that it cleared much faster than my colds usually do and the coughing was not so strong and bothersome as most of the other times. The cold coincided with my menstruation and for that week I had lost my colour, but I have regained most of it by now. I had cramps before the onset of menstruation which cleared a few hours after its beginning. That was the first time it happened that way in all these years. (May I add though, that during that time I had a small piece of cotton in my ear as suggested in other posts of this forum).
I still feel cold but I notice my hands and feet are warmer than they used to be in similar weather, although I believe there is plenty of room to improve.
Increased constipation has cleared and I am back to usual. Watering of eyes has increased in frequency by comparison to what it was the first week after taking arsenicum. But it still is a lot better than before ars.
Concerning mentality during the cold and menstruation I was with flat emotion, saw grey around me and just did my work. Also, I started to seriously regret that I am not assertive towards people and do not say no when I feel overworked. Instead I boil inside.
Now I feel much better. Overall, I could say that there is a tendency to organise things somewhat better and my head is clearer. But I also get headaches from too long working in front of computer monitors, which is new to me.
I havent taken any other drug, homeopathic or otherwise, since I took the six doses of arsenicum 30c on the 24th and 25th of January.
What your further suggestions would be?
Thank you very much

Dear Dr. Mahmood,
I would love to hear your suggestions concerning my next step, after I had the short course of arsenicum you initially suggested.
