Need help from homeopath - freehomeoforall? another homeopath?

Thank you very much for your response. I will have to order, but should have it in a week. Is this for foot pain and flushing/sweating? Thank you.

Hello-I was able to get Carbo Veg 200 locally and took it 5 days ago. There has been no change in foot/heel pain or in heat/sweating. I do now have a bit of a cough now and I have developed sensation in my upper chest, like my chest is being pushed in.

How to proceed...?
Thank you.

Thank you kindly for your help.

I am someone who is sensitive to remedies and I can develop permanent new symptoms when continuing to dose after an aggravation (as evidenced by the China situation). So, what I am trying to say is that since I have a significant pressure in my chest with cough and harder respiration since Carbo Veg, I am uncomfortable taking any more of this remedy as I do not want to prove it.

Is there another remedy for the foot/heel pain and hot/sweating left behind by China...? Also, I have some minor elbow pain in both elbows that came at the same time as the foot pain. It was mostly gone, but has gotten more painful over the last few days.

Thank you.

Thank you kindly for your continued assistance. Here are my answers to the questions.

Age: 53
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 165-170
Sex: Female

Main Complaints:
1- Bloating
How & When This Becomes Worsen? It is there all the time. My tummy is flatter in the morning and by the end of every day it is big. I do not pass much gas. My digestion is ‘slow.’
How & When You Get Relief? never
2 - Hypothyroid
3 – Slightly elevated Cholesterol
4 – From China – Foot/heel pain
How & When This Becomes Worsen? Worse if I walk too much. Worse when I first get out of bed in the morning. Pain is worse in right heel at the back of the foot.
How & When You Get Relief? If I rest and don’t walk too much. My doctor says the China gave me fibromyalgia.
5 – From China – Heat/Sweating
How & When This Becomes Worsen? I am just always hot now. I used to be cold all the time. Now I am just hot. We are having a cold winter this year and I have not once worn a jacket! I also get big waves of heat at 8:30 pm and 10:30 pm and at these times I sweat too. A full body sweat and I crave cold water. At first I got anxiety with the heat, but after taking Nux to try to antidote it, I now just have the heat/sweat without anxiety.
How & When You Get Relief? Not much relief. Cold water and no wearing too much clothing.
6. From China – elbow pain in joints of both elbows. They don’t hurt much, unless I poke them. So movement doesn’t seem to hurt them much, but if I lay my elbows on something hard or something bumps them, then they hurt.

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

I am rather introverted, but I enjoy socializing from time to time. I am shy and rather quiet. When I am with someone, I tend to learn all about their life, but they don’t learn much about my life. I think I am a rather ‘gentle soul’ and I have a hard time pushing for what I need. I often feel ‘talked over’ in my daily life and in homeopathic consults.

I am sensitive, but can get angry. I am aware of being angry, but I have a hard time letting people see that I am angry…except for my poor husband, I can really yell at him sometimes. But mostly, I just avoid expressing my feelings and I go home.

I have a hard time saying ‘no’ to people.

I prefer the company of my pets (cat right now) to people, but I do long sometimes for connection to people. I really like the ‘idea’ of people, but I don’t do well with the ‘practical application’ of people. I tend to ‘take on’ their emotions and feelings. I need time alone to discharge.

I am generally pretty happy when I am left alone to do what I like (sewing, crafting and I sell my products at the stores). My profession is a meditation teacher and I am very intuitive and clairvoyant.

My mother ‘disowned’ me because I did not ‘give her grandchildren’ and I felt very betrayed. That was 20 years ago, and I still struggle with feelings of being betrayed. Two years ago a friend made up a story about me and told another friend. They left me and I felt very betrayed, especially since I have no idea why they would do that. The last homeopath I saw, really messed me up and caused me to be partially crippled with overdosing the China. Even though I communicated with him all along and kept telling him the symptoms, he wasn’t really taking it in, and then when he realized how bad it was he told me he couldn’t work with me and cut me off. I feel very betrayed by that and I don’t know what to do with my feelings. I have this feeling that people don’t really listen to me. I am good at communicating, but people don’t seem to hear or take me seriously. I think I am not aggressive enough to get their attention.

I can feel overwhelmed easily. If too much is happening all at once, I get overwhelmed. I use Kali Phos 6x often to help with these feelings. If people are too demanding, I get overwhelmed and want to be alone.

The state of the world makes me sad. I wish people could be kinder to one another. I especially have a hard time witnessing people being cruel to animals or babies. I am very often disappointed in the choices that people make. I have an interesting dichotomy in me, while I can be naïve and have a hard time saying no to others, I also have a streak staying true to what I believe in and people have told me that I have a ‘firmness’ about me, even though I can be naïve.

Bath: bathe daily. I like to soak in the bath tub.
Like To Bath In: Warm Water

Like: I don’t like stuffy rooms. I like indoors, but often with a window open.
Like: Being alone mostly, with occasional social company.
Music: Neutral – doesn’t not cause any problems.

Sexual Desire: Decreased since China. Before that, normal.

Dreams: I rarely remember any dreams.

Fear: Poverty. Health issues. Being ‘alone in the world’. I like a lot of alone time, as I am rather an introvert, but the idea of not having any friends at all in the world scares me and makes me feel very sad.

Consolation: Unknown.
Religion: I am strongly spiritual, but not religious. I have a strong ‘metaphysical’ meditation practice that helps me tremendously in life.

Suffered Diseases:
1- Pituitary Adenoma diagnosed at 19. Symptoms was milk in breasts and elevated prolactin. It went away when I was 34. I took medication to keep it suppressed, as doctors recommended against surgery.
2 – Tonsils removed as a child because of lots of colds.
3 - Receding gums. I have had receding gums since childhood.
4 – Colon polyps. Three colon polyps removed at colonscopy. They were the bad kind. I also have a polyp in my gallbladder that has not grown at all for the sis years we have been monitoring it. No stones in gallbladder.
5 – Slightly hypothyroid. About five years. Bovine desiccated thyroid 90 mg. self-prescribed. My hair was falling out. I tried silicea and it stopped hair fall and then I started an over-the-counter thyroid to help and my hair fall has not come back. My thyroid test shows ‘normal’ now.
6-Slightly elevated cholesterol – 240. I have been seeking homeopathic treatment, but I have not had good luck with homeopaths helping me so far. I don’t seem to present as one of the basic constitutional types.
7-bloating and not much gas. When I do pass gas, it is loud and with no smell. I am always bloated, for at least 20 years now. It is much worse at the end of each day. I also put on weight very easily, even with watching what I eat, I still put on weight.
8-my naturopath says I have some mineral deficiencies, but I have trouble taking the supplements as they cause extra bloating.

Present Running Treatment: Homeopathic and Acupuncture
Medicines Name: Last medicine was Carbo Veg. I take no other medicines, except an over the counter desiccated thyroid which I have self-prescribed. 90 mg.

Medicines prescribed by other homeopaths:

Last homeopath – Pond Lily, Lotus, China (Arsenicum, Rhus, Nat Mur, Aranea, Merc to antidote), Loxo, and Lactrodectus,
The homeopath before – Thuja, Calc Phos
Prior homeopaths – Lycopodium (gave me terrible brain fog and worse bloating with pain, it was prescribed by several homeopaths in several potencies), Carcinosin (prescribed by two different homeopaths, it made me feel terrible for months and did not help with any symptoms), Phosphorus (left behind a cough that lasted for two years and did not improve any symptoms), Sulphur, Sepia, Lac Felinum, Aethusa, Calc Sil, Ignatia (extreme irritability). None of these eliminated any symptoms.

None of these ever worked to reduce any symptoms.
I have self-prescribed Kali Carb 200c for bronchitis once and it worked great. Bronchitis was gone in 4 days.
I have self-prescribed Pulsatilla 6c or 30x and it really helps with my mood when I get down or when life is hard. It helps a bit with my tummy too.
I self-prescribe Nux sometimes after seeing a homeopath that has prescribed me too many incorrect remedies and I feel very ‘off’ – Nux will help to neutralize the feeling, but it gives me dry skin and irritability for a while.
I self-prescribe Kali Phos 6x often to help me feel more balanced. I feel overwhelmed often and this helps with my nervous system.

Before my last homeopath, I was considering self-prescribing Pit-Anterior or Pulsatilla as a constitutional remedy for my issues (thyroid, chocolate, cholesterol, weight, bloating). Since Pulsatilla is an antidote to China, I tried it as a 30c and my mood was good, but it really made the pain in my feet worse. It has never had that effect on me before.

I am not educated in homeopathy at all, I just read a lot and have to learn to ‘undo’ what some of the remedies have done to me.

Any Accident in Life? Several car accidents with whiplash and spinal pain. One fall where I hurt my sacrum. One fall where I broke a metatarsal in my left foot.

Any Major Operation In Any Body Parts? Tonsils as a child. Gum graft surgery two times as adult.

Thank you Dr. MHM.

LMs are a little harder to get in my area, but I can order them and it will take a bit to come in. For clarification, you want me to order all three of the potencies right now...LM1, LM2 AND LM3...?

Another clarification - when I was on China, my food got very salty and I gained weight very rapidly. About 6-7 pounds in a few days. My prior homeopath prescribed Nat Mur 30c to antidote the fluid retention. I did not lose any water or any weight. I did however get very, very hot, my heart was extremely racy and it pounded, I was very jittery, blurry vision with high blood pressure. It was rather scary. I am scared to try it again. If you think it is worth trying, I would like to start slow to make sure I can handle it.

Thank you.

Thank you kindly, Dr. MHM, for your explanation. It helps to calm me.

I am ordering the remedies and will let you know when I receive it.

Thank you.

Hello Dr. MHM-
I have received the remedy. Since they were costly, I only ordered Nat Mur LM1 in the pills. I sent you photos.
Thank you.

I received your instructions. Thank you.

I have prepared and taken the medicine as instructed. Ill report back soon.

I appreciate very much that you are recommending a slow and gentle dosing schedule.

I am reporting back on the Nat Mur LM1, one dose.

It does help me to pass a little more gas.

The first day, I had slight gastritis and a moderate headache, but that passed and was gone by the next day.

My feet having been having much more pain, which has been worsening each day since I took the remedy. First the pain in my feet got worse...then it started moving up my calves as a pricking, stinging sensation...then my knees really started to hurt and I got very weak. Then, yesterday, my entire legs and hips were prickling and stinging and I was unable to walk and the rest of my body is stiffening up. The pain is exceedingly bad at my feet. Today I am very stiff, like an old lady, and the pains in my feet are very severe...the pains extend up into my lower back today.

This same thing happened when I took Pulsatilla. I generally do very well with Pulsatilla, but this exact same reaction happened...the pain worsened and moved up my legs to my lower back.

Emotionally, I have been taking things more personally than I normally do and am getting hurt by things that I would normally let roll off.

Thank you kindly.

Okay. Thank you.
