Lachesis is working for me!!!
Greetings all!I wish there were a smiley face for REALLY happy!
Lachesis is working for me!!!
The temperature where I live runs about 90-100 F this time of year. This time last year I could not stand the heat more than any years previous. It had gotten so bad that my body would not sweat, it would swell to the point that I could not wear my wedding ring (we purchased it 2 sizes too big for this swelling stuff) my toes were twice their "normal" size and I felt as if I poked myself with a pin I would pop! Or just tie ropes to me and I would be a gas balloon character in the New York City holiday parades! Just to sweat I had to purchase an oversized PVC rain suit, put it on and go sit in the sun...I had to do this all the way through (and just past) whenever I took the lachesis in (I think) November (closed inside the bathroom with the heater on after September)!
Now...I turn off my air conditioner in the house (during the daytime) not just to save on usage and cost...but, because I CAN!!! Same goes for the car...the temp inside it with the windows open is 110-120 F
I just have to make sure that the temperature inside the house is back down to "normal" when my husband gets home from work!
Other symptoms have been reduced as well, but not as dramatically as this heat thing! The temp has not topped 100 F yet - so I hope that I am not speaking too soon, but I really think I am going to make it through the whole summer this way!
I am still "peeling" my personal "onion" and taking care of other symptoms as they reveal themselves.
What a learning experience!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
This is not fair-I wrote it all in upper case and look what happened.
Anyway, very well done, Frances. And it is a "never-ending" learning experience.

The "very well done" should go to Pankaj! He really hit the nail on the head when he guided me starting 10 months ago! He peacefully put up with my worries (panic). I had only had homeopathics briefly many years before, the experience was disastrous and I was more than apprehensive, but in dire need.

pulled this from old post.dated (10-28-03).
what actual changes have occurred in reference to list below...
Frances Flournoy
Symptoms:
*Flushes of heat during menopause
very sudden and intense
*Hot flashes are NOT accompanied by sweating I must be in a sauna suit in the
heat with a bit of humidity to sweat toxins out.
*Sometimes pulsation or throbbing may be felt in the head, or any part of the body
A heavy flow of blood that feels warmer than usual with some periods
Although the woman may be fairly stable emotionally,
short bursts of anger can occur during headaches or in
stressful situations.
*Migraines frontal sinus headaches
*Blood pressure fluctuations not staying elevated only present when frontal
sinus-like headache is present (I call this the bandit headache it is in the place where a bandit mask would be and it robs you of your thinking!)
*Flushing (despite a general coldness)
Responsible and hard-working, yet somewhat slow or plodding
and can be easily fatigued.
Anxiety may be strong, and overwork or stress may lead to temporary breakdown.
Stiff joints or cramps in muscles attacking this with stretching and exerxcise
Cravings for sugar
*Surging sensations, accompanied by irritability and muddled thinking.
*Problems and symptoms can be aggravated if the woman gets too warm or stays in the sun too long, and are **often worse from lying down.
Menstrual cramps increasing
*Tight clothing around the neck and waist may be impossible to tolerate.
Strong emotions
a "pressure-cooker" needing an outlet both physically and emotionally.
Backache - lower
Craving salt moderately
*Feel worse from being in the sun and any kind of heat.
Alternating heat and chills. Was taking a warm shower and had chill bumps!
Aggravation from stuffy rooms - improvement in open air
Irritable detachment regarding family members introspective privacy is calming.
Loss of interest in daily tasks
Irritability
Mood swings, very occasional sudden tears
*Trouble sleeping through the night (with or without night sweats)
Loss of libido
Dry vagina
Crashing fatigue
Feelings of apprehension and negative outcomes
Aching, sore joints, muscles and tendons
Breast tenderness
*Gastrointestinal fluctuations slight nausea leveling with Flax oil pills
*Sudden bouts of bloat occasionally lasting a couple of days
(especially in summer) sauna suit helps
Feet, legs, hands and arms feel VERY tight.
*Exacerbation of existing conditions
*Increase in allergies, sinus drainage, and facial pain
More increase in facial hair
Change in texture of head hair
*Tingling in the extremities,
*Tinnitus: ringing in ears, bells, 'whooshing' buzzing etc.
Just starting this one : Menstrual flow may start then stop too early.

John,
This answer may take a while - It might be early next week before a reply. We are catching up on yard work and various weekend things before visiting my mother-in-law for the weekend. Father-in-law passed away a month ago.
But who knows - you may get lucky and I can reply before we leave!!!
One thing ,though - I have been having left side burning deep in my ear radiating out backwards into and around my head...increasing over the past 3 days. Lethargic, depressed, and a bit sensitive to heat - I took a dose of Lachesis 30C liquid 40 minutes ago and 85% of symptoms are gone. Buzzing in ear did not go away and the nauseous feeling only 50%, but I may need to eat something!!! Duh!!!
It just takes a lot of focus for me to process the symptoms and choose the right remedy. But we all do the best with what we have or know at the time!
I love the liquids over pellets - more on that in another post at a later date. Got to get to bed - I do have a delayed sleep cycle (clinically diagnosed) so I must FOCUS on getting to bed at a reasonable time!!!

Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Frances is very satisfied with Pankaj's advise - not much sense in clinging to it (while there are still unanswered quests).

What is Lachesis? Is it an herb, tincture, combination of herbs? I have never heard of it and cannot locate any information on the website to indicate exactly what it can be?

I am back from my mother-in-laws...and out from under the laundry and yard work!
debbiec52,
I would not be very good at explaining this myself as I am quite new to using homeopathy in my personal life...maybe these 2 links will help

John Stanton,
I will reply to your question(s) soon
;-)
Dr. Mirza nasir,
Thank you for your reply. No bluish spots. My personal tell-tale (sign) that another dose of Lachesis is needed is when I get the left side head symptoms, especially the one of the heat running up into the head.

lach. 30c always helped me for wheezing and now seems like cured forever. but did not help my headaches or excema. is there another remedy which is very close to lachesis constitutionally?
lach. high dosage helped STOP short my husband's anxiety-attacks (which later was actually migraine triggering sinus, loss of balance and then panic attack!) but worked on the spot. since there are other symptoms still, i am still searching for constitution.
