The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Need help with many symptoms.

So many symptoms I don't know where to start.Im a 26 yr old male. I guess I will start since I was a little boy I have always had anxiety, mainly social anxiety. I have always felt better when I am alone. Craved milk alot. I used to have dreams when i was little that there was a glass of milk on my drawer and I would wake up and reach for it. Anxiety got worse when older with more dairy use through weightlifting. Mainly social anxiety which were sweats. progressivly got worse over the years and then 3 years ago got really bad before i seperated out of the military which was a stressful time for me. That is when I noticed all of my food intolerences. Dairy gave me bad anxiety. i could no longer tolerate gluten, it gave me heart palpitations, costipation, brain fog and anxiety. I also have intolerences to alot of other foods, especially carbohydrates. No intolence to white rice though. When i stay gluten free, dairy free and my other foods that bothered me i had zero anxiety. In the last year i have felt increasing more tired, cold hands and feet, less motivation and interest and constipation. I have blood tests results. In 03/27/08 my red blood cell count was 4.52(4.20-5.80). On 06/25/2009 red blood cell was 4.43, marked low but Docs said nothing. He said my B12 was fine. I have red spots or small blood blisters (about 25 or more just on my upper body). My TSH on 3/37/08 was 1.52(.40-4.50) My TSH on 6/25/09 was 0.97 and my Ferriti was 128 and my total Iron was 94(45-175mcg/dL). He has UIBC as 121. I dont know if it means Iron binding capacity. If it is that then it is very low. I had a saliva hormone test done and my total cortisol levels were about 20 when they should be over 30. My DHEA levels were 728(normal levels are 137-336). My testoterone levels were 46.1(normal levels for 26 yr old male are at least in the 60 to 70's range. My Ratio of Pg/E2 was 32.2(normal levels are 200-300) which shows estrogen dominance. In the last 2 months I switched up my diet and eat more veggies and fruits and was much higher in oxalates and I had alot of new symptoms which include more fatigue, tingling ends of fingers, slight numbness on right hand, burning hands and feet(sometimes just 1 foot or hand at a time), very chilly at times, zips and zaps all over, low blood sugar(Low cortisol), much less endurance, sore neck and muscles, clicking jaw, right foot heal hurts when standing on it longtime, (racing heart and palpitations with simply tasks, excercise, excitement, sex, masterbation), left temple headaches that come and go, i'm always cracking my neck with soreness, great fatigue after workouts, (increased urination especially after meals that looks cloudy or yellow or filmy and stinks, which could be a food oxalate probably because it has gotten better going low oxalate diet along with Gluten free),urination is always strong streamed, yellowish stools, ringing in right ear, less memory and concentration at times, can't seem to gain weight, itcheness/crawliness to skin after eating, stomach never full after eating, slight stomach pain, stiching chest pains, pinching pain in both shoulders, buzzing feeling in fingers, emotional( teer up when excited), night time urination, low libido, a small wart has formed on genitals, fingers will go white and freezing cold when chilly, I did have dry skin but as gotten better with omega-3's. For many years i was a sarcastic, irritable person especially when on dairy. always had chapped lips cracking lips.(has gotten better with omega-3's) I have cravings for sweets, sours and onions. I have improved with B-complex, alpha lipboic acid, B-5, B-6,taurine,mag/cal citrate. I also have a hair analysis test which i can supply. It said i am low in magnesium, calcium, and copper. They also recomended me to take silica, sulpher, chromium. So sorry for the long post. Im looking for insight on this, especially for the anxiety. Thanks for reading.

Thank you so much I will purchase off site. Do I have to take walnut mimulus day 4-10 3 times a day too.
I also forgot to mention that on my hair mineral analysis my Arsenic levels were in the high range (I used to eat alot of white rice). Makes so much sense now.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
Do I have to take walnut mimulus day 4-10 3 times a day too.
Yes. There need not be any gap between walnut and mimulus, they may be taken at the same time.
 
kadwa last decade
Is there any time of the day or some time band when u feel worse as compared to rest of day ?
 
vikas_grower last decade
I'm not sure. I would feel tired in the morning, fatigued in late afternoon, ringing of ears after meals, dizzy and foggy after meals sometimes, fatigued and sleepy after meals sometimes. L-Glutamine supplement made me much worse, incredibly tired, neurological pains, stomach and liver pains.

Hi I was just wondering before i begin my treatment should I cut back or stay away from all sulphur foods and sour foods. I crave theim incredibly. Does the high arsenic in my body have a connection with my malabsorption and oxalate problem from foods? My stools became yellow when I started having problems with oxalates during my diet change, and when i would eat gluten i would have floating yellowish stools which i think is my liver being congested maybe.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
In homeopathy the remedy is selected on the basis of totality of symptoms. Your totality of symptoms point to Arsenic Alb. It is not necessarily due to high or low arsenic in body. Please have a balanced diet. Please try to cut back foods that your body can't stand. In any case observe carefully the change in your symptoms and report back after 10 days.

I have a question. I take one activated charcoal capsule at night time, and i see that charcoal is a antidote for arsenicum alb. Is that a problem. I have been constipated since starting the arsenicum alb. I have to tale magnesuim sulfate to have bowel movements and they are completely green with horrible smelling gas.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
Charcoal ie Carbo-veg does'nt antidote Ars, so don't worry. Please report at your scheduled reporting time.
 
kadwa last decade
I forgot to mention that I didn't take the ars alb at 4 hour gaps. Because of work and my schedule I took the doses at longer gaps, like 6-8hrs sometimes. I was wondering if that is a problem. sorry.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
It would have been better if you had taken it at a gap of 4 hours. Still it should not make a very singnificant difference.

I'm definently going to need help with Candida. When I eat sugar, vinegar, spicy things I get fatigued right afterwards, dizziness, mood swings, nervous and frequent urination, burning hands, itchy skin. At night if i eat sugar or something spicy like ground mustard on food before bed I will wake up acouple times during the night to urinate and I will also wake up sweating heavy from my head. This morning I did the spit test where you spit into a glass of water when you first wake up and what an hour and check the glass. My spit was very white cloudy, most of it settled on the bottom and the rest floated around the middle part of the glass which indicates a candida problem. I'm tired of feeling sickly and fatigued. I will have energy for a couple of hours then I will be fatigued again and it comes on very quickly and usually after meals, snacks or ingestion something. Its really making me angry.

I forgot to mention some other things. the back of my tongue is always white but not the whole thing. My tongue has been burning lately, don't know if it something i'm eating. When I wake up in the morning my mouth is dry. sometimes there is yellowish orange spots on my pillow, maybe from sweat or saliva. Big toe nails have large horizontal ridges and my left big toe nail has peeled on top for years. My eyes feel dry alot with red dry at eyelid corners. I workout alot and my stamina and endurace is horrible. I get muscle burn very easily now and I don't have the strength that i used to have. I get headaches that come and go on my left side all the time, and after workouts. and at different times have fuzzy, hazey sight.

Its been 10 days since my treatment of Ars Alb and bach flower rememdies. When I was taking the arsenic alb I was constipated and passed green foul smelling stools. Also had some increased anxiety after taking it. I took magnesium sulfate laxative and I hade diahrea for a 1.5 days that was green and horrible smelling. I've also started taking Saccharomyces Boulardii and had horribble smelling gas afterwards for a couple of days then it stopped. Bachflower rememdies made me alittle less tense not sure if they have helped. I have felt more anxiety in the last couple of days and i have read that Sach B can make people more OCD. My frequent urination has slowed down but i have been urinating 1-3 times during the night. I started taking VSL#3 probiotic to control oxalates so I could be dumping oxalates. I also take two tablespoons of sulphur before bed. My urination is still mainly around meals. I have started two have daily bowels movements again but they are greenish brown with black flakes on theim. Don't know if the flakes is from the charcoal I take or oxalte dumping. I have had great fatigue during the day especially right after meals. Severe muscle burn, weakness, fatigue during pysical acivity, like too much lactic acid build up. My palms become dry after meals and they burn alittle, but not as much as before. I still have a incredibly apetite with no sense of satisfaction after meals, crave carbs, eggs, sour (mayo,onions,ketchup,mustard) any thing with vinegar i guess. I am still irritable, feel better alone, low/no libido, left sided headaches(less frequent but aftermeals), anus itches aftermeals sometimes, gas, Varicose veins on ankles, i workout and i keep getting weaker. Genital warts, I have lost size and strength in my chest the most over the last couple of years. My body temp has been low for years around 97.1, last time i wne to the Docs it was in the 96 range. I have just started to take iodide for my loe thyriod so i hope that helps.. I have also read that when thyroid and hormones are out of balance like my low testosterone,cortisol,high DHEA, high estogen to progesterone the body does not metabolize fats,carbs,protein and B vitamins right. I'm not sure if that can explain my severe fatigue after meals. Over all I have seen alittle improvement in some symptoms but not much.
Alot of my symtoms point to Sepia. When I was dating I would get sexual aversion to my girlfriends after alittle while. I get terrible guilt over things at times especially when I think I've done something wrong. i would have times when I had libido then other times when I had none. I sometimes have foot pains in my arches and on a reflexolgy chart pionts to the bladder(maybe infection).
Sorry for such a long post but I've been so confused and under alot of stress over my symtoms.

There are hundreds of remedies for Aversion to sex - certainly doesn't make you Sepia.

Sepia feels that love, and family, are a burden, and that is why they don't want to have sex. They often percieve a power struggle in their relationship, sex is often felt to be demanded from them - this is why Sepia has dreams of rape, and fear of rape. There is a struggle between the man and the woman, the woman is expected to give up things for the man (or visa versa), to give into the man. When you look at the Cuttlefish, you see that the sexual act causes the death of the animals - this is the feeling of Sepia, sex is abhorrent to them, it is almost as if it will be the death of them.

How many of these symptoms occurred after taking the Arsenicum (new symptoms you have not had before)?

Please follow brisbane. i am off this thread.

I am not making prescriptions here, merely responding to the idea that he might be Sepia (and pointing out that it is not enough to be averse to sex to prescribe that remedy).
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I dont have any new symptoms since taking Ars Alb expect that my stools turned to greenish brown from being yellow/gold before. I thought maybe their green from dumping yeast or something else. My anxiety got worse in my early 20's after getting into weightlifting and taking prohormones, I think the prohormones messed up my neurotransmitters. Dairy began to make me sweat after eating. Started waking up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat after eating dairy before bed. Then started to happen all the time, it made my body very hot, sweaty after eating. Then that is when my other food intolerences started to bother me. All happened as I was about to seperate from military and was uncertain about my future. That is my I think all my issues have come from intestinal tract being messed up and causing malabsorption. I have been told that heavy metals are the cause of it, and I have high arsenic stored in my body. The limit for arsenic is .020 and mine was .023 so I hope that suppository EDTA chelation can remove it.

Brisbane, you sure do know your stuff. Sorry, but i couldn't help laughing at kadwa response. I sure needed a laugh tonight.

so getting to this question from the poster, would you give Sepia to someone who is a man with problems with getting sexual because woman have burned him in the past?
he gets aroused but doesn't want to get close..he shuts off as fast as a light switch but he is a wonderfully sweet man.
 
bugler last decade
I would give him Sepia if he expressed the problem in a Sepia way - many people get burned by their experiences in the past, it is a very common situation so it doesn't help us choose a remedy. It is hard to say as I have not taken the case and without doing so there is no way for me to know what remedy he could be.

Something important to understand about homoeopathic prescribing for chronic states, especially where there is a strong mental or emotional component, is that we do not prescribe on the situation, but on the person's perception of the situation. This leads us to interesting, unusual, and strange expressions and views that can be matched up to specific remedies. It is the irrational, nonsensical language that is most important (I felt stabbed by her love, He smashed me with his rejection, I cannot live at all unless I am attached to her at all times - these are the kind of spontaneous and unsolicited expressions that can help us to understand what is really going on for someone).

I might not be giving you the answer you are looking for though.

I understand the jest of it.
maybe i'll put a new post with all his symptoms, how he behaves, things he has said and yet he says he would be interested in trying homeopathy so sometimes i'm confused with what he says vs what he does!
he's very sensitive. I might say something as a joke and his fists close up, he looks down, holds his breath and makes a bee line for the door without even looking at me to see i'm smiling..then its weeks before he crawls out of his shell and talks to me again.
he doesn't seem to be verbally or physically abusive but he is stubborn. doesn't use foul langage,he is a very hard worker, very generus and giving and he is affectionate and spontanious but on the flip side he stares at me like he's boring a hole in me..this glazed look goes over his eyes.rather un nerving to say the least.he keeps saying he is from the old school. give me a break. he is 10 years older than me and two years older than my sister!
he got mad because i invited him to the beach for the day and oops, he was suppose to ask me, well...i guess i goofed up there so i suppose its going to be another 6 weeks before he emerges from his shell.
he is also diabetic so we eat a lot of the same things, we are both allergic and sensitive to conventional medicine or what you called orthadox.
he's quiet and laid back and very intelligent. but he fears emotional contact. He's been married twice and raked over the coals. he said if there was a homeopathic that would help him he would take it to see if that helps. he doesnt like being this way, he knows he's this way and would like to change it but he like me doesnt have much faith into conventional medicine and we are both very interested in learning as much as we can about homeopathy but because of the area where we live, most of our choice is the internet.
a book store such as where i purchased my book was a two hour drive from my house. its a wonder we have cell phone service out here!
I appricate your posts. You really care that someone understands what you are saying and you seem to be very level headed and upbeat.
I can't wait to try the ferrum. i meant to bring it with me but i forgot it in my rush to get on the road.
so much for making a new post. Sorry.

i was just wondering if the Ars Alb treatment could take weeks or months to et results from. arsenic alb does descibe me to a T especially when I was younger(social anxiety,cravings for milk) Now alot of my anxiety comes from food intolerences and having to watch what i eat all the time, it is very stressful to me.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
So I guess no one is going to answer my question.
 
Intthrwwd last decade
Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear about all of your symptoms. I totally understand you because I once had an unknown illness and there was No Doctor that was able to help me! I felt very hopeless and many times I just felt like giving up.

I have a suggestion to you that may be off topic for this forum which is 'Silva Meditation.'

This is what totally healed me from my unknown illness (which had many severe symptoms). So just simply search Silva Meditation in Google and you'll find information on this meditation.

I believe if you go to their main website 'Silva Ultramind System,' you can get free courses sent to your email!

So this is my suggestion. Again, I totally understand the difficulties that you are facing, and I hope everything works out well for you!

Best Wishes :)
