kadwa last decade
thanks for the promptness of ur response...i hav got the dose from a doctor,about 20-25 small pills in one dose is that ok
 
santa7 last decade
You need to take only 5 pills as one dose. There is no need to take 25 pills.
So in all you need to take 15 pills. 5 pills thrice.
 
kadwa last decade
will do so...start tomoro morn wil let u kno progess....
 
santa7 last decade
have taken 3 doses as suggested,3rd today morn...no change as such feelin mucus in my nose an off and on sneezing
 
santa7 last decade
Please wait for atleast 7 days if not 15 and report back. If we do the case hurriedly, there is a possiblity that the right remedy will be left behind and we will move to the next remedy.
 
kadwa last decade
absolutely no hurry sir..this was jus to inform u of the progress....am being patient thanks
 
santa7 last decade
the last few days hav been much better...the discomfort episodes are less frequent but still there.i am being very concious of diet.bfast-2 slices brown bread+egg+glass of cold milk....lunch-bowl of fruit(big)watermelon,pear.dinner-2 chapati+veg+dal,sometimes curd.plzzzz suggest.
 
santa7 last decade
It is good that you are conscious of diet. Be conscious in future too.
Please take a single dose of Pulsatilla 200 whenever there is a significant relapse in symptoms. You should not take anything if there is no significant relapse.
 
kadwa last decade
will there be furthur improvement in symptoms as days go by...
 
santa7 last decade
someone suggested to eat carboveg after meals....do u advise
 
santa7 last decade
carbo veg 30, mag phos 30, lycopodium 30 do well in these conditions. But it is better to stick with Pulsatilla, if it is working. It is always advisable to take one remedy at a time even if you opt to go for another remedy.
 
kadwa last decade
thank u will continue with pulsatilla
 
santa7 last decade
god bless u sir i am feelin relief but somedays symptoms are more what shud i do....all precautions i am followin...shoul i get an endoscopy done again to check for h pylori( if it has been eradicated or not with the triple therapy antibiotics that i took)the specialist had advised a month back.plzz advise
 
santa7 last decade
Logging in to observe progress
 
Joe De Livera last decade
Please take a single dose of Lycopodium 30 whenever you have more symptoms and see whether it helps. If there is a significant relapse take a single dose of Pulsatilla 200.

You should take your own decision on endoscopy.

Your daughter is not responding to homoeopathy because she is taking either a sugar pill or pure water. There are no active ingredients.

The whole thinkg is pure and utter bullsh*t, go to a REAL doctor.

Scientific medicine does NOT have all the answers but homeopathy has NONE, ZIP, ZILCH, NIL, NADDA.
 
tuxcomputers last decade
Please note that the symptoms in your daughter's case also point to Puls even though your symptoms are totally different. So don't get surprised at the prescription.

Please give her three doses of Pulsatilla 200 as follows and report back after 15 days (only 3 doses in 15 days).

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.
