The ABC Homeopathy Forum
clarification about antidote. Found more indicated remedy but antidotes previous remedy for a different condition
Hi good day,I have Right rib cage dysfunction. Main symptoms are intercostal pains, rib pain while inhaling, sore ribs (all right side), sore muscles and spams: trapezius, rhomboid, muscle between lower end of the rib and hip.
Main aggravation: trapezius muscle spasm due to anger or emotional upsets.
As per my research Ranunculus bulb is indicated. I have been taking RT30 previously for another muscle pain.
Ranunculus bulb antidotes RT, is there any harm done if we intently take a remedy which antidotes a previous remedy. I understand that you need to antidote sometimes if required but could one antidote a previous remedy because of a new condition and its indicated remedy?
I can elaborate my case if required.
At present I am trying Bryonia 30.
Thank you.

Please take Calcarea Carb 1m one dose preferably at night. Avoid sour food and drink as that will antidote medicine. Do not repeat medicine.
You should do some back stretch exercise without putting any strain.

Thank you so much sir.
Based on my research my personality is more towards Kali family particularly Kali bi.
Would like to contemplate this with you for my better understanding and better prepared when I take Calc carb in 1m (high potency) in what to expect for e.g. any aggravation or proving.
In your opinion Ranunculus bulb not indicated?, or is it only partially indicated?
I have taken Bryonia 30 today, so shall I do CC 1m tomorrow night?
Thank you.

As you have taken bryonia it will have to be antidoted first as bryonia and Calcarea Carb have inimical relationship. To do that you can use Nux Vomica 30 or Sulphur 30 one dose only.I would recommend Sulphur as Calcarea acts better after Sulphur. However do not take Sulphur at night as it will cause sleep disturbance.
Finding the constitutional remedy is very difficult and I assume you are new to homeopathy.
Bone problems generally call for either Calcarea Carb or Calcarea Phos. I am inclined to think that you are Calcarea Carb rather than Calcarea Phos.
Mental symptoms are more important than physical symptoms in homeopathy. You have an important mental symptom of Calcarea Carb:Waking up at night to check for thieves and robbers. You also have hurrying tendency.
Aggravation does not occur in this type of cases. However if you have acidity problem there may be aggravation of acidity for a day or two. Lower potencies do not seem to work in chronic cases like yours when Calcarea Carb is needed, therefore I have chosen 1m.

Hello Sir,
I have taken Sulphur 30 on 01 May 22 before noon, and CC 1m on 01 May 22 at night 10:30 Pm.
Following are observations:
- After taking Sulphur, eyes felt little better within few hours. Then my previous symptom of Trapezius muscle spasm. It used to recur when ever I have an anxiety, or have to rush to somewhere or do something.
- Next day after taking CC 1m, improvement in eyes continuing and also the muscle spasm.
I will observe and update you here.
Thank you once again.

Ok Sir.
In my previous reply, I meant to write "then my previous symptom of trapezius muscle spasm returned". I missed to type "returned.
But it was milder one.
FYI.

Dear Sir,
Its been more than two weeks since I took the remedy.
Apart from the short lived improvement, I went through relapse of the several historical ailments but short lived.
Those were:
- mild piles/ pain
- Ganglion cyst
- Achilles tendon pain
- Gas
At present, other than improvement in the eyes and the weakness, all other symptoms are continuing.
I am going through change of environment, returning to home country, feeling very anxious, lot of things to do and also the anxiety in general. Could it be the reason that the remedy is not working.
Thank you.

It is possible that the medicine got exausted. Take another dose of Calcarea Carb.
