This in continuation to my details submitted earlier.
I am diabetic, have blood pressure and Thyroid. The problem started in 2011 with problem in speaking certain words having repeating consonants and vowels. Started Allopathic medicines. Dr. Diagnosed as beginning of dementia and prescribed medicine accordingly.
But no improvement. Problem increased day by day but slowly. By 2013 I could not speak properly. My speech was distinct.
I started homeopathy. In December 2014, I moved to Bangalore. Continued homeopathy with another Dr. for almost one year. But no respite.
In 2016 beginning I had difficulty in walking squatting and getting up. Since than the problem has increased. Now I have to walk very slowly with small strides; fearful of falling. I had fallen on the face on two occasions. Climbing and descending is most frightening. With fear I get freezed; can not move any part of the body. Slightest push makes off balance and leads to fall.

Stomach

Please take Lachesis 200 twice a day for 3 days and then start your present medicines again. Don't take any other homeopathic medicines for the three days you take Lachesis. See how this affects you over 15 days.

I'm inclined towards Lachesis as well after going through the symptom profile.

So you can stop other medicines till you exhaust the beneficiary action from this medicine. After that another analysis may be needed to decide the next medicine.

Even if you notice a small improvement, then this medicine needs to be given time and also various potencies(1M, 10M and in course LM too if needed) of this medicine can be used before stopping this medicine.

Kadwa has suggested general dry dosage which is of course a good suggestion.

However in sensitive patients and patients with pathalogy, wet dose might have an edge so take it as an alternate opinion on dosage/mode of dosage. So after a single dose of Lachesis 200, if repetition needs to be done after a two or three weeks(after the action of the medicine perceptibly weakens) a wet dose can be prepared with one or two pills/drops with Lachesis 200 in 200ml water bottle, then from the medicinal bottle, progressively shaken doses can be taken a bit more frequently than dry dose like may be one dose every week or 10 days. Just before every dose the bottle needs to be shaken up and down for five times. The bottle needs to be kept away from sunlight in a cool, dry place. As a preservative a teaspoon of alcohol or vinegar could be added to this solution.

Whichever way you go about the medicine keep us posted. God willing you should have some relief. Best Wishes.

Thank for you help. I am taking Lachasis 200 pills from today morning. After 3 days should I stop? You have suggested for continued Lachasis with higher doses if required, please guide after 3 days e.g. since 17-09-17.
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
Yes kadwa's suggestion was for three days only. After that stop the medicine and observe changes for 15 days without medicine.

So wait and observe changes over the next 15 days and make a report. After that further course shall be suggested.

Today is 15 day since I have taken Lachasis 200 for 3days. The result is as below
My mind slightly relaxed. Effort required to get from bed, chair is reduced. I am able to rinse mouth better. Tongue movement is very slightly improved. Very minimal change in walking. But lose balance toward front.
Please suggest further course of action.

Continue the medicine. Repeat a dose roughly every 21 to 25 days upto six more doses.

If there is no further improvement or if there is any aggravation/uncomfortable symptoms stop the dose and report.

If there is significant improvement then also stop the dose and report.

Thanks for your response!
One Dose means Lachasis 200 twice a day for 3 days?
Can I take allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine?
Kindly clarify.
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
One dose means two pills/drops of Lachesis 200c at a time. This might look little but in homeopathy, less is more.

You can continue to take already prescribed allopathic medicines and emergency medicines. Give a gap of one hour between homeopathic and regular allopathic medicines.

Ayurvedic medicine you can go ahead, just skip them for three days when you are taking Lachesis and the two days following the dose.

There is no improvement in walking but pain in ankle and knee has started. There is weakness in both the legs and hands.
Is it not Ataxia? Can there be another remedy?
Please advise.
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
Stop 200c. No more doses in this potency.

Procure 1M of this.

Wait for some days and report changes if any and write a brief note about what had changed positively or negatively after 200c doses.

How many doses have been taken till now?
 
maheeru 6 years ago
I am feeling breathlessness while lying. Not able to exhale, it is locked inside. Comes out only with sound; very slow exhalation takes place.
I have taken 2 doses 17-09-17 and 06-10-17.
When should I take the next dose?
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
You can take one dose(just ONE pill/drop) of Lachesis 1M after a few days possibly on 3rd November.

Observe changes over next two weeks after the medicine and report then.
 
maheeru 6 years ago
I have taken one pill of Lachesis 1M on 3rd November morning. Will report effects.

Feeling better mentally. Feeling cheerful. Speaking is slightly easy. Stand up time and effort reduced form sitting position. More strength is felt in legs.

Had a fall in the morning in the door way. Lost balance. Losing balance has increased. Walk as a child learns to walk.
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
For a fall, you can take Arnica either in 30c or 200c if there is pain.

Let Lachesis 1M two pills/drops dissolve in 250 ml water bottle. Shake this bottle up and down for five times with one hand and strike the bottle gently against the inner palm of another hand with every downward shake of the bottle. Take assistance if it's difficult for you.

This shaking needs to be done just before every dose. Keep the bottle away from sunlight and moisture and labelled.

So in this manner take doses roughly every 18-20 days.

Report changes after two such doses.

"Losing balance has increased. Walk as a child learns to walk." Is it a negative development or a normal observation?

There is little improvement in walking.

Sorry I couldn't see your post.
Kindly explain the how much of 250 ml liquid prepared is to be taken?

"Walking lake a child" was in negative sense as I have move forward to balance myself.
Can I wait for some time to take Arnica.
 
gokhale56 6 years ago
Two drops from this bottle would be a dose. A disposable dropper would help.

If there is pain, bruise or trauma arnica can be taken. If the symptoms are not there now, it need not be taken now.

This 'walking like child' since when are you noticing this?

Do you see a little improvement in walking? How much per centage?
