48. What else would you like to tell me about yourself or your condition?
I did not make enough breastmilk to feed my son when he was born, despite herbs, acupuncture and allopathic drugs.

I have always had poor circulation in my legs. My ankles become swollen easily. My spider veins, however, are in my thighs. My veins are visible throughout my entire leg (thin skin?).

When I get headaches, they are sinus headaches that affect my face and teeth; sometimes I'll get a headache that starts in the occiput.

I am very impatient and give up tasks quite easily.

I have been constipated my entire life. When my diet changed, that improved considerably, but lately I'm a bit constipaed again.

Thanks!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
try sepia 200 daily one dose at morning empty stomach and agrimony (it is a bach flower remedy) three times in a day...

continue for a month and report me...

Thank you!
One clarification: take just one dose (1 pellet 1 time) of Sepia 200C--then do the Bach Agrimony every day for one month? I'm guessing that is what you mean, as I've heard chronic conditions have fewer doses (typically one dose a month and not daily?)? I could be totally wrong here, but just wanted to check. I clearly don't know much about homeopathy! :-)
Thanks again and I will certainly report back to you.

Another quick question.
I received my remedy yesterday and took the dose (10M). I started to feel pretty amazing within the first couple of hours and the feeling is holding! (very calm--my husband noticed right away, too).

My question is--last week I sprained a toe and as it's healing it is beginning to hurt even more--getting difficult to walk comfortably. I'd like to take Arnica (I have both 30C and 200C), but can I do this since I've just taken the Sepia? Thanks for your advice and help!

Here is my update!

The same day I took the 10M Sepia I started feeling better. I have felt amazing for nearly the whole month. My moods improved tremendously and I didn't obsess about negative things at all. My husband noticed right away.

I have felt less effect from the Agrimony, but I am still taking that...I'm sure it is helping.

About 4 days ago I felt my 'old' self returning. I have read alot about these situations and how you might have to re-dose yourself one or two more times so I took the liberty of taking another dose of Sepia. I hope that is okay. The only problem is I did not feel the same effects this time. I still feel like the negative personality traits are coming back. I feel less tolerance/patience and I'm quicker to anger. Does this mean I should try another remedy? Do you think I made a mistake by taking more Sepia?

Thank you so much for your expert advice. I am so pleased to see that improvement is possible!
