Hello Dr Sajid

I have had my Mum on the mother tincture of Passiflora Q as directed, it hasnt helped much. The first night she slept slightly better but since then, no shes not had much luck with it. 2 of the last 5 nights she has not slept at all.
She is quite a difficult case isnt she! Im not sure what else to try?
Thanks

Hi there

My Mum has always suffered from a bit of depression, I feel she was very affected by us kids leaving home and her friends moving away from her and her parents passing, so she became quite withdrawn and preferring her own company. She has been speaking up more when my Dad has verbal tantrums, for most of the marriage she would just say not much, tolerate it, but for the last couple of years she has stood up for herself more, tolerated much less. She does have a strange reaction, when her friends move away from her, she cuts them off almost, does not make much effort to stay in touch as much, its been a very repeated pattern with several of her friends and her. They are perplexed as to why, but she does not take people moving away from her well at all. Like she feels betrayed or rejected or something. Not sure if that helps. She doesnt dream much, but she hates mice and rats and snakes. Cant bear them.

I have asked her what she is worried about now, she has said shes worried about the mammogram test that she will be having in the next couple of weeks, as she had stage 1 Breast Ca 2 years ago now and this is a follow-up check up to see if its all ok. Shes thinking a lot about that. Obviously fretting and fearful, playing on her mind. She coped quite well with her own Ca, just got on with the treatment and stayed quite positive. She is excited about their travels in December to USA and Ireland, shes not worried about that, just excited. Very worried about her health and her brothers health.

She also has her younger brother going through very bad health issues, brain bleeds, stroke, facial Ca and bone Ca etc and he doesnt have much time left (she thinks) so he is on her mind as well as her own health. She just lost her older brother in November to Prostate Ca also. Shes not grieving him so much, shes come to terms with his passing and shes not upset etc. More concerned with her own health I think. She has had anxiety, social anxiety mainly mixing with others. Prefers to be on her own mostly, an introverted person.

Shes very caring for children, babysits many other kids for free to help their parents, likes to feel needed. She lights up when shes around kids. She had a miscarriage at 4 months pregnant, and a hysterectomy at 38 as I think she had cervical ca/unhealthy cells growing. Shes inactive other than housework, does not exercise has sore knees.
She feels the heat terribly, sleeps with little covers. Needs to find the cold spot for her feet in bed. Summer heat is unbearable for her, shes definitely suited to cold weather. Hates the sun.

She is not upset at night, I have asked her if shes grieving her brother but she said shes ok, just cant stop thinking. My Dad has been extremely difficult in the last few years since retiring, meltdowns and bored and verbally abusive when he cant work things out or get things working like TV. So shes around a nasty environment often. Some days, its no problem, other days shes visiting me in tears, had enough of copping his yelling and swearing. I think her mood has been a combination of suppressed anger and depression from years of grief and a difficult marriage. They are companions but she has not much emotional support from him, more like friendship. He supports her but theres no physical intimacy etc. Very little touch, very little affection. She pretty much raised us kids on her own as he was always away/out when I was a child. I think she finds it hard to smile, shes not one to laugh much, quite a heavy weight she carries.

She did say that her sleep issues started about 20+ years ago when she started to sleep on the couch because my Dad snored and smelt like beer so she couldnt sleep at all. This threw her sleep pattern right out. They sleep in separate rooms now, but her sleep has always terrible since.

Hopefully this helps, she wont tell me much about how shes feeling, but I know shes struggled over the years with sadness and feeling isolated etc.

Thanks

Will do, thank you 🙏

Hi Dr Sajid

My mum has been taking Puls 30c 3 times daily as directed, she has also stopped taking all other vitamins and supplements other than Selenium. She has started sleeping better since Wednesday going to bed around 8.30/9pm and waking around 3.30am/4am. Pulsatilla is the only homeopathic shes on. She is having thoughts about her recently passed brother as she goes to bed, and worrying about her own health still but then diverts her thoughts with a book to help, so mentally her grief and stress is still a big issue.

Im not sure if its the pulsatilla that is helping her sleep or if its the stopping of all other vitamins etc (which she takes in the morning only, no B vitamins after morning) but something is helping!


Should she continue or change potency/remedy? I have Pulsatilla 6c and 200c here and 1M I think if you think any of those are helpful
Thanks

Hello
My Mum has taken Ignatia 1M once and pulsatilla 30c twice daily as directed. She is able to get to sleep but has been waking e dry 2 or 3 hours still. She is happy that she can actually fall asleep now, but continues to wake up. She has stopped all other vitamins and supplements to give her body a break and use these homoeopathics only. Maybe she has been stressing her liver with taking too many vitamins etc?

Should she continue to take puls30 and Ignatia on day 15?
Thankyou so much

Hi Dr Sajid

My mum has just had some bad news about her brother close to the end of his life, stroke and brain bleeds, heart issues etc, he is in hospital in a bad way. should she continue to wait until next Tuesday to take the second dose of Ignatia 1M (day 15 will be on 23rd) or is there another remedy that you suggest to help her cope? I have her on rescue remedy. My dad has been unsympathetic towards the news and no emotional or support for her, not even a hug to console her. She is still waking every few hours, she is still taking apulsatilla 30c twice daily only.
Thanks again for your kind support and recommendations
