This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Angelica, I did not read the entire thread, as I was just browsing at the time, and happened to come across your posts in the process, which was quite a coincidence as it was just before you posted here, heh. If there is more information I should know about within this thread, then please post the URL, or retype this here, either way, I would deffinately stop taking the Stramonium now.

Oh Jacob, then I sure lucked out that you are here!
I filled out a 2 page form that was a pre req. to the Dr. from India that helped me a month ago and suggested the Stramonium. I have looked for the original thread that I posted a month ago, which would likely be around the 1st week of september as it took me awhile to obtain the remedy in liquid form at that potency.
I will try again to see if i can find the original post and form I filled out. I had only posted here twice before starting the remedy and he'd said to come back and check in after a month on it, so, I'm not that familiar with this Forum.
Thanks so much, Angelica

Hello Angelica, and hmm, I am confused. In the thread above Stamonium 10M is recommended, but in your post further up it says 10X, which potency were you actually taking?
One quick question also, are you menopausal or post menopausal (I am guessing you are not still menstrual at 58).
-Jacob.

Hello Jacob,
Thank you for explaining the me the sniffing-bottle-technique. And thanks, Angie, for replying.
Unfortunately it hasnt worked :-( In fact I have been experiencing for some days now that the tremor is getting worse everywhere. I mean, not only in my hands but also my legs and I think my whole body.
Im getting pretty worried. Is there another remedy you think I might try that may help me?
Thanks again.

Dear Veerle, you used the remedy on only ONE day as recommended, is this correct?
If the symptoms have become worse, then this could mean one of two things:
(a) the dose of the remedy has overpowered the disease, and what you are now experiencing is what we call Homoeopathic aggravation, which, if this IS the case will pass away under it's own steam (take nothing for it), removing the original condition as it does.
or (b) the remedy has removed the more superficial aspects of the condition, and as stated above there is something deeper as it's cause, which is now presenting itself.
Either way, take no more Arnica, or any other remedies, and wait a few days for things to either wear off, or develop more fully, and we will then take the case again.

Dear Angelica, a 10M!!? Then it is not only fortunate that nothing drastic has happened to you, it's a regular miracle!! Hopefully the remedy was of bad quality and had little effect anyway, and as long as you feel okay, and you have stopped the remedy, there is now no cause for concern. For future reference though, if anyone, either on this site, or any other recommends you take a remedy as high as this for longer than a day or once a week for a few weeks, do NOT take it. We do not prescribe in this way, and such prescriptions are not Homoeopathy by any stretch of the imagination.
Some questions about your case then:
1/. You say you are a musician, how does music make you feel?
2/. When you say you were orphaned at an early age, who took care of you?
3/. If you have any contact with other members of your family, is there any history of cancer or leukaemia?
4/. Do you have any moles, beauty marks etc etc?
5/. How do you feel about thunderstorms?
6/. Although I have read through the questionaire above, it is quite hard to work from someone elses questions, so please, in your own words, give a brief history of ALL your current symptoms, emotional AND physical, and anything you suffered from as a child.

Jacob~ What i did notice about the Stramonium is that I started feeling like I could not access joyous feelings I usually have daily, and, that I felt my heart was blocked from love/joy. Now, I understand why. One day off the remedy and the balanced joy (not mania) is returning. Whew.
1~ Music make me feel the emotion that the song is about until I have played it once too many times in which it leaves me with the desire to move to another song.
2~I was in my late teens and took care of myself and little brother and my parents worldly affairs.
3~Not that I know of.
4~A few small moles on my back.
5~Adore thunderstorms, absolutely.
6~Symptoms-Physical. Tremors internal and external on a scale of 1-5 depending on how much I exert or stress myself. I can control the scale if I practically abandon all the love of the sport/adventure/outdoor lifestyle I have enjoyed all my life. Migraines if I try too hard to sit still.
2~Emotional~ generally I am cheerful and chipper. Have deep running emotions and feel things so deeply that I protect myself from too much news or forms of negativity.
3~As a child I suffered the pains of being a Holocaust survivor's daughter and abuse at the hands of an alcoholic parent. I balanced this by taking refuge however in working at a stable by the time i was 11 and teaching myself to play music and learn many songs by heart. I dwelled on the lyrics in my mind rather than the often harsh reality. Also, escaped into books. My family home however was a showcase and I had the good fortune of being exposed to beautiful surroundings, home made meals 3 X's a day, and, parents that loved to dance, sing and play music.
Aloha and thanks again for illuminating me, Jacob~

Dear Angelica, hmm, interesting, and perhaps heading in the direction I initially thought too, we will see. You didn't though say anything about specific health problems you had whilst growing up, if you could add that to the above, this would help immensley.
Two more questions also:
1/. Aside from the Stram, what other remedies, if any, have you taken in the past, in what potencies, and what were the effects?
2/. Would you describe yourself as a sympathetic or empathic type of person, or are you more reserved when it comes to the emotions or plight of others?
Thankyou!

Dear Jacob~ I had scarlet fever as a child. Also, had mumps, measels and my tonsils out. My mother had polio but recovered.
I have taken 200C of Gelsimium, and felt nothing.
Arnica Mont. 200C and felt nothing.
Ignatia 200C off and on for years to release any withheld childhood trauma. I think it helped as i don't really feel trauma, except for the tremors.
Chamomila 200C to help me sleep as I to tend to wake up around 2-4AM. If I walk barefotted on the wet grass it helps so I think I am sensitive to EMF's.
and---Hypericum 200C as I read it is good for nerve damage. No side effects.
2~ Not reserved about other's emotions, I feel them like I have no choice (but to feel them), even animals, and---trees. I feel them greatly.
Aloha, Angelica

Hmm, did you have scarlet fever badly? and at what age?
How many times roughly did you take Ignatia, when was the last time you took it, and what was the result of this?
and regarding 2~ This is just what I was expecting ;)

what age is hard, but, I believe it was between 22 and 4 years old, maybe younger. It was in Bavaria and my American father had to sell his car to pay the enormous hospital bill so the fever must've been quite high.
Yes~ feel toooooo much sometimes, rescue stray plants, feral animals, fight forendangered animals and forests, abandonded children~
Hummm, think I have the Angelina Jolie syndrome? (Said with the utmost respect!

2~ IGNATIA~ I have taken it for years. Whenever I feel shocked, or, something stuns or shocks my psyche. When I take it I feel that it is restoring my peace of mind and quiet heart~
Last time I took it was probably a month ago. Just one dose of 200C~

Hey Angelica.
Hmm, there is one remedy which is coming through very clearly from your posts, and oddly enough, this is actually Ignatia. They can be very sympathetic indivduals, and will often go to the lengths you yourself describe for other, animals and even plants, and I must say, given your regular periodic dosing with this remedy, an actual proving cannot be ruled out.
There is another explanation though, and this could be that you are actually of a Pulsatilla type, Pulsatilla being the 'chronic' remedy of Ignatia in many respects, and therefore being very similar to Ignatia in some ways. Pulsatilla also covers symptoms of tremor etc, and I wonder if maybe the symptoms on which you are giving Ignatia, are actually calling for Pulsatilla instead, which would explain why you are having to continually apply it, and/or may be proving it.
So tell me, when did this tremor actually start? And when was the last dose of Ignatia prior to this?

Sorry Jacob, I got waylaid yesterday. The tremors started about 12 years ago but were very slight. The last 6 yrs they've gotten worse, and, the last year even worse. As I mentioned, cutting out the gym, hikes, carrying heavy objects,driving to town,writing is hard; and about 85% of my regulat active life back has helped, but, now it is such a loss to give up so many activities.
So---,the last dose of Ignatia prior to that I could not say.
I stopped the Stramonium immediately after reading your post and now have not taken any remedy since.
What do you think the next step may be?

Hmm, okay then, what we are going to do is apply a dose of Pulsatilla, because as stated above, this MAY be the correct remedy for your case, but also it is an Ignatia antidote, and we will be able to tell a lot from it's application.
We will start low to gauge results.
Get yourself a 6x 5ml liquid potency, and put 2 drops in a small bottle of mineral water, taking a small sip as a dose. One dose only, and report the results.

Hi Jacob, its me again :-).
So, it has been some days now and it seems that the tremor went back to its original form. I mean, back to the way it was before I tried Arnica. Now, Im not sure if it really was the Arnica that caused the aggravation or maybe just a rough weekend (I had a party, so not enough sleep, a couple of drinks ).
I do notice that sometimes during the day itself the tremor gets worse or better. For example in the morning its worse than in the evening. During the day it goes with ups and downs. So I was wondering if maybe it has to do with something I eat.
I had my blood checked last week, but there were no abnormalities whatsoever
What do you think I should best?
Thanks,
Veerle

Sorry I forgot to mention this:
Ive always had problems with my digestion and lately I seem to be having something what I think is reflux. I also think that the strange feeling as if someone is squeezing my throat might be connected with that.
I dont know if this is relevant. But I thought Id better mention it.
Thanks already.

Shoots, In my haste to write and get off the keyboard before my neck tightens I see I wrote 'between the ages of 22 and 4'! LOL, I did mean 'between 2 and 4'.
Liquid potency of Pulsatilla. OK, thank you Jacob, I will start looking for it and when I find and buy it I will start and check in here for your directions. IE: sniffing the remedy, or, hitting the bottle before putting in the water, or, anything specific. I am going to copy and paste your diirections and stick them on the fridge so I can be exacting.
Off I go to find the remedy~
Dear V~ Aloha to you. I had written to you before that I have been learning so much about ET on a forum called WE MOVE. It is people all over the world that have various movement disorders. The feeling in yr throat may be internal tremors that affect the voice box specifically.
I am a musician (guitar & mandolin)also and I think that same feeling (you're describing)just started happening to me this year. Happily it goes away if I do not overtire. best wishes to you and I am so grateful Jacob is working with us~ Love, Angelica

Hey Veerle, as the Arnica obviously hasn't helped, then I would indeed be more inclined to think your problems are evidence of something deeper, as previously stated.
To prescribe the correct remedy though (of which I already have an idea), I would need to take a full case history, and I am coming to the realisation this may not be the best place to do this, due to the high turnover of cases etc. If you do wish to pursue this course of action, you may e-mail me privately, and I will be willing to look into your case in detail, all free of course, as I do not charge for online treatment at all.
Best wishes.

Hey again Angelica, and heh, I got what you meant ;)
The Remedy is Pulsatilla 6x 5ml liquid potency. 6x is the potency.
If you have any problems obtaining it, it can be ordered from Helios or Ainsworths pharmacies here in the UK (who you can find through google), who will happily ship around the world.
Best wishes.
