redness/constant pinkish color on face _{Page 6 of 7}

I am afraid the hemorrhoid is getting worse. I cannot sit, stand or walk. I sleep only after taking a sleeping tablet else the pain keeps me awake. Till now it bled a tiny bit at a time. But tonight its bleeding very profusely.
I am quite frustrated with it. If this is an aggravation of sulphur (as I understand it to be so far), please will it help if the sulphur is antidoted or if I drink coffee. I dont want to even move, it hurts that badly all the time.
Please let me know. Thanks.

I read all the replies just now, so I have not taken camphor. In any case, I didnt have camphor Q at home.

As for Collinsonia Candadensis I dont have that either. I will check out the local stores for it today. Else I will have to purchase it online, and that will delay the starting of treatment of hemorrhoid.
Thanks.

I could not find collinsonia canadesis in any local health store.
Is there any other remedy that can be taken instead of it that may be more readily available ?
Otherwise I will order it online, but it wont arrive until well into next week especially because of the christmas holidays and postal rush.
THanks

Hi, I do have Ferr Phos 6x.

But I was in a excruciating pain and couldnt walk, so had a doc cut open the hemmorhoid, and it shrunk pretty much immediately. Gave immediate relief though it will take 2-3 days for the cut to heal. But I am now walking ok without pain.

I guess I dont need to take collinsonia or Ferr Phos now, but please do confirm that. In any case, I am going to purchase collinsonia and keep it...just in case it occurs again...hope not but want to be prepared.

Dr. Sharma,

The redness on my face ( mainly on my cheeks and for which I had initially started this thread) is showing up again. Its been there for about 10 days now. It is NOT as severe as the first episode last summer, but the pinkish flush is there now and is more prominent in the evenings. Last time you had prescribed Belladona 200 for it. What do you suggest for now ?

Secondly, I am suffering badly from constipation and lot of gas. Its more than two weeks now since this has become a problem, and I do drink about six 8-oz glasses of water each day, have started exercising for about an hour (5 days a week). I also take fiber in water(Benefiber/Isabgol)at night.I also started taking more whole wheat rather than rice. There is a bit of improvement with all this, but still my bowels are not emptying and lot of gas and constipation. (And I am afraid of getting hemmorhoids again !) When there is a bowel movement, its not much so I am very very bloated. I have always been prone to constipation but its never been this bad.
Is there anything in homeopathy that can help with the constipation and gas ? I was also thinking of getting Ayurvedic Trifla if I can find it in a shop.

Thanks.

My last dose of sulphur was on Dec 12, so about a month and half ago.
I am also now scared of the aggravations I am getting from sulphur : extreme dry mouth the first time and hemmorhoids the second time.

Can the aggravations be avoided ?

Thanks.

Allright, I will take a dose of sulphur today.
Thanks.

Dr. Sharma,

I took Sulphur 200 dose on Feb 1st. Also, taking Nat Phos as you suggested.

Constipation is a little better, hope there will be bit more improvement. I am going to add prune juice to my diet also.
The redness on my face, it seems to have reduced. I say 'seems' because couple days I didnt see much redness, but then the night before, I could see cheeks being pink again, but it was overall a lighter shade of pink than before (like a faint blush), with a few darker spots.
Thanks.

Dr. Sharma,

The pink color on my cheeks is still there. No improvement on that one. But its not worse either. Always there, but looks worse at night. Sometimes red spots will also come in that pinkish area, they go away after few hours or a day.

Constipation : No improvement on this either. I have not had a bowel movement in two days. And before that if it happened, I have to strain, and I am afraid of getting hemmorhoids again.

Thanks.

Is the Kali Sulph to be taken along with Nat Phos ? Thanks.

Dr. Sharma,

There is not a significant change in constipation.

The redness on my face is about same, that is, sometimes it seems reduced and then at times it is more pink which is seen more at night time. The good thing is that it has not gotton worse.

Could I use probiotics along with homeopathic remedies ?

Thanks.

Dr. Sharma,

Update and current issues:

1) The redness on my face is still there. It was better in end of march-april 2007, but now again its showing up. Hot weather, exercise, working, stress seems to aggravate it. And as before, there are times when there is no redness on the cheeks. Usually thats when I wake up, or sometime during the day when I have not exerted much. At this point, its not as bad as it was when it first occurred last year. The pink flush is deeper but there is no puffy rough areas.

2)I started going to the gym about 4-5 times a week. I do treadmill, stairmaster and stationary bike..all at tolerable speeds for total of 45 mins to 1 hr . However since I have Fibromyalgia, my muscles ache and ache forever. Would Arnica alleviate some of this pain ?

3) Also, my knee joints are hurting. I dont do running which would be high impact on the joints. But still they hurt. My knees are knock-kneed (that is when I stand, my knees touch each other and lower legs go further apart), that could be one factor. But the bones in my hands and fingers are also hurting.

4)Stiffness in my joints is become worse. In my hands too its become more pronounced. Same in knee, ankle, back and shoulders.
I am concerned about it. Gets worse with lack of sleep, tiredness, stress.
Though these days I am not
very stressed and the weather is also nice and warming up.

5)Not getting much sleep, and not much refreshing sleep. By the end of the day I am so tired I just collapse on the bed but sometimes still sleep eludes me.

Any advice on the above will be helpful. Thanks.
