Male urethritis infection

Recently a few days after protected sex using a condom with an ex girlfriend I started experiencing pain in my urethra and thin discharge after my morning urination.

Years ago, Antibiotics severely hurt my health and nearly crippled me. Only through homeopathic treatment, did I get my life back. So now I'm very wary of antibiotics.

My homeopath I have worked with for years is on his once per year vacation. He has many patients and is just unavailable for the next 7 days.
So I'm kind of on my own right now.

So upon noticing symptoms, I started with cantharsis 30c. I made a remedy in water and took 3 doses the first day, successing before each dose. It seemed to help but not really cure. While taking the cantharsis, I was entering my symptoms into the Remedy Finder over and over again. It kept bringing back either cantharsis or thuja. The Remedy Finder also told me that I could take both remedies together. So I decided to buy the thuja 30c at whole foods and make a remedy in water. I figured by alternating the 2 remedies I may make more progress.

By this time I was extremely exhausted mentally and physically from fighting whatever infection I had. So far I had just been taking the cantharsis.

Well something happened when I took the fuja. My vitality came back and I felt well being. My energy returned. I took 5 total doses of thuja yesterday, successing my bottle before every dose of course. I also took a couple of doses of cantharsis throughout the day. By the evening everything was starting to feel better down there and I felt waaay better as a whole being. I even felt like I wanted to make lifestyle changes and not go into excesses with women. I felt clean again.

Here is the conundrum: the thuja is really working for me. I feel almost no symptoms today. I feel almost normal again. That's pretty impressive for fighting this only 2 days. What has me worried is now I'm reading that repeated doses of thuja can be problematic.

I have been reading about thuja vigorously all night and it really seems to match both my condition, how the malady was acquired and also my personality to a tee. The Remedy Finder also calls it a 100 percent match over and over again.

From what I'm reading thuja is very long acting.

I guess since thuja usage apparently needs to be respected. I want to know if it's ok to keep taking a few more doses, obviously less per day, maybe only one per day. Again the remedy is working very well and I feel I'm being cured rapidly. I already know that I may have taken more than i needed yesterday but I felt no aggrivations.

Now that I have this condition I the run I just want to finish my healing.

Many thanks.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Today I'm feeling almost symptom free. I have a Drs appt in 30 mins and cannot decide if I should go or not. I'm definitely worried about testing postitive and being treated with antibiotics when the condition seems to be healing.

Dr kadwa please help! My condition has worsened and I'm becoming very scared that my attempts to treat myself could be causing me harm.

I have a homeopathic dr but he is out of the country and unavailable to communicate another week.

I have had little communication with his assistant. She told me to take cantharsis and vitamin c, Echinacia until my dr returns to reevaluate. I think they want to play it safe until he can evaluate.

I became impatient with cantharsis because my urethra was sore but not directly related to urination, more of a constant soreness. The Remedy Finder showed me that thuja was also a good match for my symptoms. I asked the assistant if I could take thuja and she said yeah one dose per day. By the way, my communication with her is sparse and by email.

So I took thuja 30c and started feeling better. It seemed to work far better than cantharsis. So I decided to take more than one dose per day. I was averaging 4-5 doses a day. After 9 total doses in 2 days, i moved to 31c. But only took 2 doses of that. Then the assistant said I should move down to an x potency of thuja and only take 2 doses per day. This seemed counterintuitive to me, but I assumed she was trying to protect me from myself.

My symptoms started worsening yesterday. Low grade fever. Very foul smelling urine. Sweating. Greasy skin Losing weight rapidly. Looking very frail. Neck pain. Arthritics pain. So I took 5 doses throughout the day yesterday of thuja 6x. It seemed to be making me worse. I took a dose of thuja 12x to see if that would relieve me. I did not. My teeth were hurting badly. I couldn't sleep. I finally took pulsatilla 30c to try and antidote thuja. I fell asleep and took another dose of pulsatilla 30c this morning.

The troubles I felt last night are better.

My question is can the way I used thuja harm me or make bad changes to my being? I've read some scary stuff about thuja. Am I safe doing what I did with the potencies I used?

Also I really need some sort of game plan to treat myself for the next 5 days until he returns. What would you suggest?

Another update

I thought mouth pain and body aches were possible thuja aggrivations. I made a 32c thuja and took one inhalation. I had much relief from mouth pain and body aches. Feeling of immense energy and joy returned.

Today, so far, I just have painful urethra after urination. Now urethra is sore. Will see if mouth pains return this evening. They seem to happen at night.

If soreness of urethra doesn't go away take Staphysagria 30 twice a day for 2 days and see how that affects over a week.

Dr Kadwa thank you so much for reading my case and providing help.

As of this writing, I have not tried staphysagria only because my symptoms have drastically changed since me becoming aware of your kind response.

I must tell you that my symptom picture drastically changed yesterday. Yesterday an extreme arthritic rhummatism over took my entire body where I could barely walk across the living room. My body was extremely stiff. Everything was creaking and popping. My ankle joints felt as if they were on fire.

Now that arthritic rhummatism is my biggest symptom, what would you suggest.
