LM potency aggravation 2

 

The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Aggravation from LM Potency?

Hi, I have been taking Staphysagria LM1 dose for a while with huge benefits for my insomnia. First I was trying once a day but I found it most helpful when I increased to twice a day. Then went back down to once daily on improvement.

However, I had an emotionally upsetting situation that caused relapse, that day I couldn't sleep at all and maybe I re-dosed too quickly (I had 3 in total). Now I am aggravating with some old symptoms back.

Does anyone know how long an aggravation from an LM dose lasts? Or how to calm it down?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Scroll down to post on knee pain and click on mrmhm (homeo dr) replying to that post. That will take you to his bio and email-email him your question. He works with LM potencies often and LM potencies work differently-often when LM aggravates you go UP to the next LM potency.

At first tell me how did you make Staph LM 0/1
And how did you take the dilution?
From 1st cup? 2nd Cup? 3rd cup? 4th cup.

There is most impirtant question also to be sure- how Staph is selected for you? By classical method? Taking totality of symptoms?

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?

Don't take any medicine for next 15 days.

Come back then.

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.

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

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.

Staph also improved this. Avoiding angering situations.

4. Delayed and painful periods

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.

I think your case seems like my case. I had social anxiety and I gives some medicine for it but when staphysagria 200 first time given it’s work better for me improving all health issues and some general conditions like sleep, energy level, Appetite. After a week improvement was stop and some symptoms mild return. My homeopath dicided go for LM potency and gives me LM 0/1 in dilution for daily. when goes up to LM 0/2 it’s seems improvement. It says continue the medicine. One day after a use of LM 0/3 4-5 doses one night I wake up frightened followed by some symptoms extreme helth anxiety, heart palpitations, depressed, fear that I never experienced in past. My homeopath give me aconite 30 when it’s happened I was given some doses when symptoms comes at night and get some relief for two three hour again second night symptoms comes back again used aconite 30 some doses. After two thee days suffering add by the use of aconite like fear of death, extreme weakness and some. Then homeopath says stop taking medicine for some days and see what’s happen. I wait for 2 month and slowly symptoms goes down but not completely. Dr give me ignitia 200 and it give one day relief and second day symptoms aggravation. He gives Ignitia 1M three doses and it gives also add suffering some ignitia symptoms. And I stop taking medicine from dr. One year has completed but symptoms not completely goes. I gives some antidote but not work. I think it’s happened just because of overdose. Minimum dose work better and stop medicine when once improvement seems.

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!
