The ABC Homeopathy Forum

I don't know where to start

My daughter is 24 years old. She was diagnosed with JRA at 16 years old. She has always had what we thought was a nervous stomach. Recently during a visit to her regular doctor a blood test revealed that her iron was very low, he said she was bleeding fron somewhere and needed to see a gastro dr. The gastro did an endoscopy and colonscopy. Colonscopy revealed indeterninent colitis. During the colonoscopy 3 skin tags were removed from her anal area. They were there when she went in and gone when she came out. This started a path of pain and what seems to be infection. Gastro refers us to colo rectal surgeon who says there is an abcess hiding a fistuala. Prescribes 2 antiobitics and warns of septic shock..if symptons occur he says call his partner or go to emergency room..then they will do a seton stitch. Gastro wants my daughter to switch from embrel to humira. I would like her off all these meds and to avoid surgery. She has become depressed, and I dont know how to help. She has a lot of discomfort in anal area. One large skin tag that doctor daid is protecting a fissure and the infected red area that occured when the cluster of tags were removed by the colonoscopy. When I asked thge dr what happened to them he said they could have come off during the pocedure, which to me means that they were torn off and this could have caused the infection and it is not a fistula. So confused. I think it it God's will, me finding this website. I will answer whatever needs to be answered. Please advise whatever you can..God Bless you

I tried to treat it with prescription creams from doctors, tux wipes, preparation H wipes and creams. Nothing helps nor did they ever go away they actually seem to get worse. For as long as I can remember I've always had a very nervous stomach and frequent diarrhea/ loose stole. Maybe that was the cause for the beginning of this. My tendencies to over wipe way to much could have been the cause as well. I went for endoscopy then finally my doctor wanted me to go for a colonoscopy. I was very skeptical because of all of the things that's I had completely blocking my anus. I went ahead and did it anyway and the days that followed after the procedure were some of the most painful of my life in where the real problem started to begin.

Logging in to observe progress.
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Thank you. I have not had any suggestions yet. Happy and Healthy New Year.
 
Karen 816 last decade
Your symptoms call for a homeopathic remedy called Nat-Mur. You can buy this at a health food store such as Whole Foods, made by a company called Boiron, and sold in little blue containers.

Please buy Nat-Mur 30c.
Put one single pellet into a container of bottled water about 10oz. Let it dissolve. Then please drink 1 tablespoon of the liquid solution and report here how you feel afterward, and any differences in symptoms.
This is a test dose. If your response to this is good, we can make adjustments to the strength and form of the medicine.


NAT-M SYMPTOMS.
Many of the emotional symptoms.
abdomen; stomach; desires, cravings; pickles;
abdomen; stomach; desires, cravings; bitter food/drinks;
Feeling of need to urinate after going.
Aversion to sex.
Craves coffee.
Many other symptoms.


From a homeopathic perspective, the worst things you can do are remove disease tissue such as the skin tags, or put any medicine directly on the skin, including on any excema, or any area of the body. Homeopathic philosophy believes that such damage causes serious problems in the body.

Thank you..I am going to a Whole Foods now. I found one that is open. How long before letting you know of how she feels. The only ointment she is using is polysporin ointment on the abcess on the anal area because I saw that mentioned on this sight. The tags were gone after the colonoscopy, not something we were told was going to happen. Thank you so much. Can she take this tonight when I get back? She is sleeping now.
 
Karen 816 last decade
You can give her the Nat-M 30c tonight. If she feels something immediately, you can add it to this discussion. And then add how she feels tomorrow.

Is the ointment homeopathic? It was on this website, abchomeopathy?
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
no..it was recommended to someone to apply profax to the anal area and i looked it up and thought i could find something comparable to that in the US, is there any chance that the one teaspoon would effect her negatively?
Thank yo..before i leave for Whole Foods is there any ointment o anything else you would recommend. happy new year and thank you
 
Karen 816 last decade
I seriously doubt that a tablespoon of Nat-M would have any negative effects at all.
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
God bless you.. i am on my way..will report back : )
 
Karen 816 last decade
You did not describe the eczema or mention where it was or if you put anything on it. That will not alter the recommendation, but please do not put anything on it, and describe where it is and when it started on the next update.
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
ok first dose taken 10:53 pm..will follow up.
 
Karen 816 last decade
Was there any immediate effect after she used the remedy the first time?
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
Good Morning. No. There was no immediate effect.
Thank you.
 
Karen 816 last decade
Ok, if you still have the container that you made last night, please give it 5 hard shakes, and then she can drink 4 tablespoons from the container. Please report the response.

I am moving up in amount just sleightly to test her level of sensitivity to the remedy.
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade

Karen 816 last decade
That's fine. This time keep the container.

One pellet of Nat-M 30c into about 10oz of water. Let it dissolve, and give it about 5 shakes and then give her 4 tablespoons.

How was her sleep last night?
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
She is on her way home now...she slept from 5pm to 930pm and awoke when i got back. she ate a liitle then took the one tablespoon. She feel back asleep around 1130 or midnght till around 430 or 5am when she needed to use the bathroom. she said the sleep after the dose was broken..dont know if that has anything to do with dose. she will write when she comes home...is there any remendy to relieve discomfort for her anal area..she is very uncomfrtable and that is her immediate problem ...does Nat-Mur work on these areas..thanks so much
 
Karen 816 last decade
You said 'she said the sleep after the dose was broken..' What does that mean?
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
she kept waking up..opening her eyes...wasn't restful...but she had just slept for 5 hours previous to the dose..so not sure if she was sleeping due to pain in anal area or she was tired..she will be home momentarily
 
Karen 816 last decade
Ok. Let's see what the response is to the second dose.
 
Homeopathy International 1 last decade
I would just like to say thank you for your quick responses. My questions to you are out of desperation to get her well. We have been to so many medical doctors and then there just always seems to be another issue.There is so much frustration and disappointment. I feel such a peace with this route, that this is the way to go. I just don't know much about it but am trying to learn. I want you know I appreciate your time, patience and intelligence.
