Thankyou Sameer, I would like to add a couple of things. I went to check my eyes because I have blurred vision when I look up in my window in my car to look back. Also my eyes had been dry lately. He said I only had 0.25 short-nearsightedness. Yeah I know no big deal.. - strange habit. I touch my face and bite and suck on my lips.when someone talks to me I will look at them fixedly and my neck gets tense and I cant move my head freely and then it hurts afterwords. and my shoulders hurt too. Sometimes I also get a Cracking inside my head (cervical vertebra) when moving it. I'm very observant. I see small details and get the big picture... but I have a very bad memory. I like to drink green tea with lemon. I get neuralgia( where the heart is and I have difficulty breathing in sometimes. Like yesterday and it lasted until I fell asleep and today in the morning it was okay...it always reoccurs randomly.( like now..) Also I have trouble breathing when I run. . I'm impatient when it comes to learning something. I don't like people ordering around telling me what to do.I'm uneasy around authoritarian people. I have A LOT of skin problems. My elbows are dry . I have keritosis pilaries and broken capillaries on my upper arms and a bit on face. I have psoriasis on my head, I scratch it a lot and it hurts when I shower ( It stings). I bruise easily .

Three doses of Sulphur 30c to be taken for ONE single day ONLY as described below. Dissolve 2 pellets of SULPHUR 30c in a 250 ml spring water bottle. If you leave the pellets in spring water for 10 minutes, they should melt. You can shake it gently to spread evenly after they have dissolved. Take a teaspoon from this bottle using a disposable spoon 3 times, spaced by 30 minutes. This is to be done for one day ONLY. Let me know in 7 days after these 3 doses. Restrictions: 1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 40 minutes prior to, or after taking the remedy. 2/. Do not touch the tablets with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water . 3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption 4/. Avoid wearing perfume/aftershave, or exposure to anything with a strong smell on the day and 3 days following the remedy administration. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense. 5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicey foods 6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be avoided during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by an MD. 7/. Nothing of a medicinal nature should be applied to the skin -- Regards, Sameer

Hi sameer. Seven days has passed and I haven't really had any much difference. I still get those uncomfortable abdomen symptoms ( I dont have pain) that make me anxious around people esp. were I have to sit. Day two after taking SULPHUR day 2: In the morning my mouth is dry, I want to drink. huge cold sore/hepes on my lip.stool= normal day 3: Neck and back less stiff. Im doing one thing and my mind is in another place so I make mistakes. I catch on information very fast but then forget about it.Breathing is hard. I have to breathe deep and sigh every min or so.( in the morning & evening)( when sitting). Day 4: I had to move a lot for work for 5 hours and that made me dead-tired I could barely talk. try to do everything in a hurry. My head is thinking about one things and hands doing another thing. feeling faint, dizzy ,sick.Nausea after eating. mood:indifferent, excited at the same time. stool : yellowish. Dont feel like washing myself. Moving facial muscles . want to stretch all the time. headache dull. Day 5 : I had a hysteria two days when I was forced to do something . I started screaming and them crying and ran to my room wanting to kill myself. People bug me.JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. Day 6: More open to talking to people ( not too concentrated in my mind thinking over things etc..) but still my anxiety and depression over some situations still occur.Jaw clenched.Hard to fake a smile.got cold and sweaty armpits Day 7 : My psoriasis is a bit better but now my scalp is dry and itchy. Morning is very difficult to wake up. I dont want to start the day Id rather fall asleep again or die. Usually its always hard to get up. only some important event like work drag me out of bed.Im constipated, depressed and feel like life is not worth living, I cry for a bit.Im not hungry. After one candy + chocolate feel a little better but bloated. I like having conversations with people but I don't like passing too much time with them.. Im still very cold. My hands and feet especially but my redness of feet when standing in the shower is better. [message edited by karenina on Tue, 24 May 2011 16:08:56 BST]
