Aggravation from LM Potency?

Thank you for your response. I had a look but couldn't find it would you mind including a link please?

My homeopath prescribed it. I had very chronic insomnia for months after certain events. She has tried many remedies before but Staphysagria made the biggest improvement. She is away now so can't contact her.

She gave me a dropper bottle with it. Don't know how she made it. I've been succussing 5 times as per her instructions, putting 1 drop in a cup of water, taking a small spoon of it.

It was working fine and I was getting better. Until I had an external stressor and relapsed. That day I had 1 as usual, woke up at night so took another one. When I still couldn't sleep by 6am I took a 3rd one from 2nd cup method. My mistake! And I've been aggravating since. Old symptoms that improved came back.

Please could you tell me how to stop this?

How am I supposed to work on 2hrs of sleep a night for 15 days? I get very bad body aches, bad mood and other health problems flare up when I don't sleep.

Thank you! Please see below, any questions I can give more detail.

Main Complaints:
1. Insomnia
How & When This Becomes Worse?

It started after a breakdown and emotionally traumatic time. (Emotional abuse, too much responsibility, resentment)
When there is an upcoming event or appointment in the morning.
When I feel my personal space is invaded.
When I swallow up/suppress my negative feelings.
I sometimes have palpitations and can’t sleep.
Noise.

How & When You Get Relief?.

Staph helped.

When the appointment/job interview/ morning commitment is over.
Lying on back. Weight on chest.

2. Leg pains
How & When This Becomes Worse?

Started from being very overworked and exhausted.It’s especially in calves and hips. Gets worse when I lose sleep, over exercise or have to stay on my feet too long on little sleep. Rain and cold makes worse too.

How & When You Get Relief?

Hot shower, light stretching, yoga.
I had Rhus tox for this before and it helped.

3. Facial twitch, on left side of face near mouth
How & When This Becomes Worse?

It started also around the same traumatic time first as a clenched jaw. In 4-5 months time it relaxed and turned into a facial tic.

Gets worse when I am angry but can’t speak up about it. Gets worse just before bed.

How & When You Get Relief?

Staph also improved this. Avoiding angering situations.

4. Delayed and painful periods
How & When This Becomes Worse?

Mornings and from cold. I throw up on first day if I’m outside in cold. It is only very bad on first day when flow doesn’t start.

How & When You Get Relief?

Heat, lying down, bending double. Sage tea. Improves once flow starts.

5. Anxiety, mild
How & When This Becomes Worse?

Before upcoming things when there is a set time. I lose sleep when there is a set time. Ex. A job interview in the morning.

Crowded places and feeling rushed make it worse.

How & When You Get Relief?

Once the anticipated event is over.
Lying on back. Weight on chest.

6. Noise sensitivity

How & When This Becomes Worse?

From neighbours noise: stomping, screaming children.
It makes me so angry I start hitting walls.

Earplugs, not being at home, when it’s quiet.

Mood: Tell About Your Mood With Full Description And With Examples:

I get anxiety when I suppress my emotions and when things pile up too much internally I have occasional breakdowns. I throw things in private, hit the ceiling with stick if neighbours being noisy/annoying, yell.

I like my alone time and don’t like it when people invade my alone time. When I’m out working, seeing friends etc. though I enjoy it. I need alone time and privacy to balance out social time after being out. Very important.

I can be shy and awkward with new people.

If I’m doing the work I like, creative things I feel good and content.

Also, skipped very important detail but I struggle to say no, people-please and later on resent it internally which worsens my sleep.

Thank you! For how many days do I take this?

Wiezoox, sorry to hear that sounds awful!

I did try a calc carb as suggested and rhus tox for my leg pains that come on from over-tiredness and stiff muscles after loss of sleep, very little relief. I tried my best to wait out the aggravation but I had a new job to start and it would've been so difficult on 2-4 hrs of sleep everyday.

So eventually I took one Camphor 30 on the weekend. Literally on the same day the aggravation calmed in reverse direction I could feel my ears pop, yawning, bit of emotional release... 24 hrs later I took 1 LM01 dose and finally back to a better state again. Yes, you're very right on minimal dose! I will be super careful with my dosing now, bigger dilution cup, less succusions and smaller teaspoon dose from now on!
