Pankaj: Please Explain Dose Recommended

You advised me to take Sepia 30C, 3 doses in one day and then stop and see how it works.

The remedy bottles usually say to take between 3 and 6 tabs as a dose. What does one usually choose as a number of tabs 3, 4, 5 or 6?

Thank you kindly.

I took the Sepia 30C for 1 day as you suggested, but don't feel anything has really changed. I took 5 tabs, 3 times a day and stopped. This was yesterday.

Should I try it again in a week? Or take more this week?
 
joyce martino last decade
Take 3 doses per day for two days consectively...then see result in next 3 days.

I will take the Sepia for the next 2 days, BUT I wonder if I should stop the Arnica wet dose that Joe has me taking? Also, I am taking Nat Phos per Joe also. Should I stop this for a couple days also?

Could the Arnica and Nat Phos interfer with the Sepia?

Thank you.
 
joyce martino last decade
Yes....for one week...stop all other meds and not the response of Sepia.

OK, Pankaj, I will follow your instructions and stop other remedies for a time.

I take my last dose of Sepia tonight. This would be 3 days of 5 tabs, 3 times per day. I 'think' I feel a little movement in the stiffness. Remember, this has been chronic lower stiff back and joints for many many years.

Should I continue with more doses starting tomorrow?

You said before that if I felt some change I could take more.
 
joyce martino last decade
Yes...pl. go ahead take it for two weeks more...post feed back.

best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

Ok I will take the same dosage for 2 more weeks which will put me at about Sept. 15.

Is it OK to take the Arnica wet dose and Nat Phos also per Joe. I have a little elevated BP and was told the Arnica would help that.
 
joyce martino last decade
Sepia action will be slow then.

If Sepia is your constitutional med...then it will bring down BP also....infact it will bring about an overall benefit.

I just had a thought, would it be of benefit to take higher potency of the Sepia? Since my stiffness is so chronic, would a high potency be better? I'm still not clear on all this homeopathy works. It's very complex.
 
joyce martino last decade
Have you seen any benefit coming.

Have any other symptoms shown up ??

Will increase the potency later.

Best wishes,

I thought I felt some change, found that I was NOT taking my normal painkillers. But stiffness is still very prominent. Took a walk yesterday since I feeling less tightness but after the walk my tightness came back pretty strong. I'll continue with the Sepia as you state, BUT am also reading a book Homeopathic Medicine Today by Trevor Cook.

My mornings are the worst, I am so stiff in the morning and fatigue. The fibromyalgia stuff.

Also, I hope I mentioned to you that I was diagnosed with AS, arthritis in the spine which causes the stiffness also. More later.
Thank you for your kindness.
 
joyce martino last decade
What are your BP readings ???
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Are you also troubled by sore throats frequently....if yes...explain in detail.

Eye trouble ??
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
No sore throats. No eye problems. BP is a little elevated like 140/90 area or so. I don't have a meter now and havent' been to a doc for some time. Trying not to go to doctors. I should probably buy a new measuring machine. I do take supplements to lower my BP, but no drugs.
 
joyce martino last decade
Pl. also give details of medical history from childhood till now.

If you have hesitation in giving it here, you can use my e-mail id from profile.

This is fine to respond here. I have no MAJOR health issues.

I was raised in a family with an alcholic father and that was not very pleasant. My mother was a wonderful, loving person so I did have that benefit. Mom died at 91, dad at 96.

At age 18, I can remember waking up one morning with this back pain. Nothing was diagnosed at that time. I can remember one doctor putting me in shoe lifts to help the back. For many of my years I took OTC pain pills for the back issue. I danced a lot as a young person, and then went back to dancing after my divorce and just stopped dancing at about age 60 or so, and just worked thru the pain and took the pills. Never took prescription pain pills, aspirin stuff helped me a lot.

When I was younger, at age 5 I had my tonsils removed, then at age 21 tonsil tissue grew back and had that removed again, and for many years I had a history of sore throats, BUT when I started taking Grapeseed Extract in 1995 my sore throats no longer happened. Grapeseed acts to eliminate histimines which can cause sinus problems, etc. I went to an allergist for some years in my 40's, but the grapeseed eliminated my allergy problems. No headaches either as a result of grapeseed. I have been taking Grapeseed for 11 yrs.

At age 29, I went through a divorce and that was a MAJOR SHOCK to my system.

When I was in my 30's an osteopath doctor diagnosed my lower back as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). For many many years I have gone for chiropractic adjustments and massage and still do once every week. I still exercise as much as possible and STRETCH my back, legs, etc. That really helps a lot.

In 1991, in my early 50's, I believed I had a sluggish thyroid and for 10 years my medical doctor said 'it was fine, I was within normal range'...I believed him, didn't know otherwise, but I was depressed and he kept giving me antidepressants. Then I started asking questions about the thryoid with friends and started reading books on the thryoid and I had so many classic symptoms of low thyroid. Then one day in 2001, I asked my osteopath doc about the thyroid and he said 'my dear by age 50 everyone's thryoid becomes sluggish'. I can so clearly remember his words. He gave me a script for Armour thyroid and my depression lifted in about 2 days, it was a MIRACLE. I have been on Armour ever since. And I struggled undiagnosed for 10 years. I am not depressed, but I get low moods sometimes with my lower back issue and fatigue and have struggles with 43 yr old daughter's health issues and her marriage, which is in a separation state right now. She has 2 little children and I have a great concern for all 3 of them. So that is a stress also on my body.

In 1999, at age 61, I was abruptly 'fired' from a job that I had planned to stay until I retired. This incident caused my BODY to go into a MAJOR SHOCK. My body became like a block of Concrete. This shock aggrevated my lower back which had been tight for many years prior to that. I believe this is when the fibromyalgia came on.

I live very close to the ocean, and it is damper here. I notice when I visit a friend in the desert, my joints do not ache as much. I live in So. Calif.

So after writing this and reading it over, I come up with STRESS and DAMPNESS having a negative effect on my lower back and body
aches. When the weather gets colder, the cold affects my back and I get stiffer also.

A little about my personality, I am a person who cares about PEOPLE, the injustice in the world. I have been fighting keeping fluoride out of our city's water for the last 3 years. So far, we have kept it out, but we could lose the battle. The forces of EVIL are so great within the chemical companies and govt. and the great medical establishment, which is so profit driven, not caring for people. Dont' get me wrong, doctors are vital and do save lives and help people. It's interesting I found myself getting TIGHT just writing this. So issues affect my joints/muscles/shoulders also. During early stages of the Fluoride battle I was a MESS, going to bed with this on my mind and waking up with the issue. I have gotten burned out and have to release lot of it now. There are many people in the U.S. fighting this issue worldwide.

Pankaj, I hope this helps for now. I hope it's not confusing for you. If you need anymore I'll be happy to reply. Thanks again. I'm staying with the Sepia as we discussed.
 
joyce martino last decade
A P.S. to my post.

When the osteopath diagnosed AS in my lower back, he said my 5th Sacro Lumbar was displaced and it probably a genetic condition from birth.
 
joyce martino last decade
There are two meds that answer for 'worse from wet weather'...they are:

Rhus Tox and Dulcamara.

Rhus tox patient has pain in upper back and shoulders.

Dulcamara patient has pain in lower back. This seems more appropriate.

How ever, you can take Rhus Tox 200C and Dulcamara 200C in alteration .

Take two doses of each med per day in aleration at evenly spaced gaps...take it for 3 days and then let me know response. Stop Sepia.

You did not tell me about skin eruptions...I suspect you had them or have them once in a while.

Any warts ???

Best wishes,
Pankaj Varma

*per day in alteration
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Joe had me on Rhus Tox 1M along with Hypericum Perf 200C along with Natrum Phos 6X and Arnica wet dose. BUT I was getting confused and stopped the Rhus tox 1M and Hypericum...wasn't noticing if anything was happening since I was doing 4 things!!!

I've had a few breakouts on my chin and cheek lately. As far as warts, I have these little bumps between my breasts but never went to a doc about them. They are just there. Have had them for some years. I still have about 20 pellets of Rhus Tox 1M left in the bottle. Can these be used with the Dulcamara 200C. I can't get to the homeopathic store for a few days.

You mentioned dampness, it rarely rains here, I just live near the ocean. So. Calif. is basically all desert except if you live near ocean.

Pankaj: I don't have PAIN per se, it's more an achiness, tightness, fatigue.

Maybe this is NOT going to work for me. Too many remedies to keep trying. I know there are 3000 and now I can see why people can get frustrated. If I were going to a homeopathic doc I would be spending tons of money going back and forth all the time.
 
joyce martino last decade
Maybe I should try the Hekla Lava 3x 1 tab 3 x's per day and Ruta 30C 4 tabs 3 x's per day suggested by Dr. Sharma. This doc said to take these for 3 months.

What do you think about this combination?
