Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
I am quite an organised and productive person (I am a law student). I can get very angry- pent up anger or frustration on small issues can spill out.
I am a deep thinker, thoughts go round and round in my head- i over-analyse things.
When I get very upset and have an argument with someone, I cry and get a terrible migraine.
At night when I had extreme mental anguish I could not sleep and thoughts would be never-ending- I used Coffea which immediately helped.
My mood can change easily, I am talkative but keep only a few close friends.
I dwell on two people who have passed away, I miss them and feel intense love for them. I remeber them often.
I seem to always have one person in my life who I love intensly, first my grandfather, then my guardian (both passed away) and then someone I fell in love with, I can't seem to let go of them.
I analyse myself and get frustrated if I ever make a mistake.
I dont mind tif=ght clothing on my waist but hate it on my neck.
Heat I hate hot weather, my favourite weather is mild.
I hate feeling hot even for a minute- I will open windows a lot. I dont really like cold weather either but prefer it to the heat- which causes me to be inactive and tired. Although when I am on my period heat makes me feel much better, especially around the abdomen and lower back which both hurt.
I forgot to mention I have been told I have inflammation in my nasal passage probably causing/contributing to the cattarrh and recently when I blow my nose I often get bleeding in my left nostril.
Thank you for taking the time to read!

Hi,
I just remembered a few other things which may be relevant- 1. I feel terrible in the mornings I have a bad mood and a feeling of pressure over my head. 2. I have stiffness in my neck and shoulders and upper back. 3. I love having my back rubbed/stroked, it's as if my whole body is relaxed if my back is. 4. I hate roaming around(going for a walk) unless I know where I am going- ie to a fixed destination.
5. I get headaches easily
6. I dont like the feeling of a full stomach. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

Hi,
I am 27 years old.
I think it may be a genetic problem other family members have similar problems but I suspect it began with menses at age 13. Then I used to have unbearable pain at period times with heavy bleeding and 9 day periods.
This time coincided with my grandfathers death that left me crying for days and filled with anger and regret but I dont know if this impacted on the condition as it happened before menses began.
Pain got better after my first child 8 1/2 years ago but weight gain got worse and worse.
After my second child 7 years ago the weight gain became uncontrollable and menses stopped for three months and then started to come but with irregularity. I think this is when the pcos got really bad. This is when I took pulsatilla 30 for a week which regulated my periods to monthly and seven day long period but did not help my weight- this was about two years ago.
Iam 5 stone overweight and I am tall- 5ft 9. I am quite muscular on my legs but have an hourglass figure.
I took Cimicifuga 200 for a couple of weeks then I started in 1000 dose(2 years ago) and take it often, about once a month- last time a month ago in 1000 because I find it helps with the pain.
I do suffer a sinking feeling when I first get up in the morning.
I have had attacks of a rage a couple of times in the last 4 years when extreme frustration spills out into anger and tears, I throw things and bang my fists on things.
I have seen a couple of visions in the last 4 years. Nothing about snakes.
No cracking of jaw while eating.
Definately stiffness in the neck which cracks when I stretch it.
Yes there is swelling in breasts before menses but not pain, I think it's better after the first couple of days of menses.
Menstrual flow is heavy and red turning brown in the last few days of the menses.
Thank you, Niel

Hi
Please procure Lac caninum 30c in dilution.
Post back for dosage instructions once you have the remedy.
Best wishes
Niel | | |

Dear Summer ,
Although my dear friend Neil has prescribed but still please shed light on these areas
1) Does your mind often feel full of ideas that keep u preoccupied .
2) Are u loquacious .
3) Are u sensitive to slight pressure or gentle touch on your body .
4) Do u have this feeling of being off to somewhere all the time . | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From vikas_grower [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-11 |
Dear Neil ,
There are very thin dividing lines between Lac Caninum and Lachesis .
1)Lac can - dreads to be alone , very fearful
Lachesis - Likes to be alone
2) Lac Can - Complaints change side
Lachesis - Move from left to right or mostly left sided .
3) Lac Can - feels worse in morning on one day and on evening the next day
Lachesis - Sleep aggravates symptoms and is always worse in morning . also worse by heat
4) Lac Caninum - tonsils pearly white
Lachesis - Purplish | | |

Dear Niel,
Thankyou, I will get the medicine and let you know when I have it...
Thanks again
Summer | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From summeroflondon [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-11 |
Dear vikas,
thankyou for your interest!
The answer to your questions are:
1. My mind is often full of ideas that keep my mind preoccupied.
2. I am definately talkative and a clear and confident speaker but I dont think I talk too much (loquacious).
3. No one part of my body has a particular dislike for touch although I do tell peole to move aside if they touch me while sitting next to me (my husband, children etc) as i feel uncomfortable.
4. I don't have the feeling of being off to somewhere all the time.
Thanks for all the advice!

Hi Vikas
Thanks for the guidance.
I prescribed Lac caninum over Lachesis after a lot of thinking based on the following points provided by Summer:
-Tight clothing comfortable at waist but not at neck (a clear differentiating factor)
-Complaints moving from left to light brought lachesis first to mind. But then moving sides is also an indicator of Lac. Besides, erratic pains moved the balance in favour of Lac.
-Besides, on the mental level, there was not much to choose from. The fact that there is no perceptible derangement of the sense of time inclined me to Lac even more strongly.
To confirm it, the guiding symptoms of Lac were put into questions and she responded positively to most of them.
This is why I chose lac.
Will look forward to your opinion.
Warm Regards
Niel | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From Niel Madhavan [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
In addition, sinking spells in the morning clearly points to Lac. | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From Niel Madhavan [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
Dear Vikas
One thing I forgot to mention.
She complains of a heavy menstrual flow which is another red-line symptom for Lac. In Lachesis, the flow is typically too short, too feeble.
Please suggest.
Warm regards
Niel | | |

Dear Neil,
Left sided nose bleeds, pressure in head on waking, wants windows open, can't bear tight clothing around nose, intense person, complaints moving from left to right, bad mood in mornings..
This is Lachesis , Lachesis and Lachesis :)
The mental state is NOT that of Lac-c which is defined by the delusions
- despised is
- diminished - short, he is
- looked down upon she is
- worthless he is
Inferiority is a central theme in a Lac-c case which is not the case here.
Regards
Sameer | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From sameervermani [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
I meant tight clothing around "neck" above. | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From sameervermani [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
And, menstrual flow can be heavy in Lachesis , it is listed as grade 2 , under
Female; menses; copious | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From sameervermani [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
Add to that "ailments from grief", a symptom never found in Lac-c, but grade 3 in Lachesis. This is Lachesis big time. | | |
| Re: Help! desparate sufferer of PCOS | From Niel Madhavan [Log on to view profile] | on 2009-07-12 |
Thanks Sameer and Vikas
The guidance was valuable indeed. Thanks for bringing me out of this dilemma.
Dear Summer,
Please procure Lachesis 30c. It seems more suited to your case.
Warm regards
Niel | | |
