lack of desire

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your assistance.

As I look to purchase the product you specified, I realize I don't understand exactly what to buy. You specified: 'Calcarea Carb 200'. I find Calcarea Carbonica listed, but, the number is 200X or 200C. Which one should I use? I see it comes in several forms. I'll probably buy the pellets form.
Also, I read elsewhere that I should let the pellets disolve under my tongue. Is that correct?

Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you. I have just ordered it.

I have one more question: At the end of the 15 days, should I expect to see an improvement or just what am I looking for?

Thanks again for your help.

Thank you very much. I'll be back at the end of the 15 days.

OK. I'm back after 15 days.

The only thing different during this time was that on days 2 & 3 I found myself with erections during the day and on day 8 an early moring erection. This was very unusual. Also, between days 3 and 7 my underarms had a strong odor. I don't know how to describe it. I didn't lose any weight during this time, either.

If you need other information, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Thank you for your response. I'll let you know what happens.

I'm back again after another 15 days.

This time, I had early morning erections nearly every day and a weak erection during the day on 2 different days. That same bad smell came back on days 6 thru 9. And I didn't lose any weight, this time.

If you need more information, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it greatly.

Here is the questionaire with my answers. If you would like more information, please let me know.

Thank you very much.

Age: 60

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
Lack of sexual desire. No erections. Interest has been low for the last 10 years or so.

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
This year I lost 40 lbs, so far, but, I am still overweight by about 30-40 lbs, mostly on my belly. Most of my life I have been physically inactive. This year I started waliking everyday for about 1 hour a day.
For the last 6 years or so I have a constant loud ringing in my ears.

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
I sometimes am depressed about my problems. The depression rarely lasts more than a day. I am usually fairly optimistic.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
Sometimes my health problems seem impossible to resolve. I need help. And I feel lonely.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
I have always lived and worked alone and rarely ever exercised. The only event that might be related to anything might be that I was married and divorced after 3 years, 37 years ago. I started wanting to spend more time alone after that.

6. Which time of the day you are worst?
Same all day long.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
I found that exercise makes me feel better about things. Like maybe I'm actually doing some good for myself.

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
No.

9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
Summer is better than winter for the depression.

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
In the past I had been arrogant. And I would never rely on someone else to do something I could do, because, I felt they couldn't do it right and would criticize them and argue with them.
In the last few years my attitude about people has changed. I found compassion for others and am much less critical of people. I do not argue anymore.
I find it easy to sit and read, watch TV or surf the Internet. The only exercise I get is walking. And although I can easily put it off, when I finally do go walking, I enjoy it.

- How do you feel before or during a thunderstorm?
When I was young, I loved to watch the lightning. Now, my first thought is: 'I hope the roof doesn't leak.' And if the storm comes at night, I fall asleep right away. (faster than if there was no storm)

- Do you like being consoled during your tough times?
I live alone. I wish there was someone to console me.
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
Loud noises bother my tinnitus. Bright light at night make it hard to see.

- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless
weeping, talking to one self etc?
From childhood I've always talked to myself.

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
I love my friends and family. I have few friends, however, and my brother is my only family and he lives far away. I rarely see my friends or my brother.

11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
I don't like being alone anymore. That's not really a fear.

12. What do you crave for in food items and what are your aversions?
When I eat carbohydrates, I can't control myself. If I eat one bowl of ice cream, I'll eat the whole half gallon. If I don't eat carbohydrates, I have no cravings. So, usually, I follow the Atkins diet. I try to eat more vegetables than meat, though. And a small amount of fruit.

13. How is your thirst: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Normal.

14. How if your hunger: Less, Normal or Excessive?
Between Normal and Less.

15. Is there any kind of food which your body can’t stand?
No.

16. Is your sweat normal or less or more? Where does it sweat more: Head, Trunk or Limbs?
I used to sweat profusely. Now that I walk everyday, I sweat much less. I sweat most on my back.

17. How is your bowel movement and stool type?
Generally, I go 2 or 3 times a day. usually, it is firm and holds its shape, but, not so hard that it hurts to go.

18. How well do you sleep? Do you have a particular posture of sleeping?
It takes me a while to fall asleep. I sometimes take melatonin to help me fall asleep. I sleep for about 6 hours. I think that is not enough, so, I fall back asleep again for another 1.5 hours or so. During the night, I am often aware of rolling over, but, I go right back to sleep. I sleep on my right and left sides mostly.

19. Do you think you are able to satisfy your sexual desires in general?
No.

20. How do you think you are different from others, if at all?
I don't know how to answer that. I can see, now, that we are all much the same, but, we all have different troubles.

21. What medications have been taken earlier by you to treat the diseases and do you have any particular symptom surfacing after the medication?
I don't take western medicine if I can avoid it. I take Chinese herbal medicines sometimes like when I have a cold. A Chinese doctor prescribes it. And I sometimes take 2-3 grams of melatonin to help me fall asleep. Not always.

22. What major diseases are running in your family?
Diabetes.

23. Describe, how do you look like? Describe your overall appearance
5' 10' 215 lbs. blonde hair, balding, fat belly. My skin color is pale white. My arms and face are lightly tanned since I've been out walking daily.

24. (ONLY FOR FEMALES)

Please answer the following questions:
(Please give details of your past menstruation if you have attained menopause.)
- Are the periods early, regular or late in general? How long do they last?
- Do you suffer from any kind of physical or mental discomfort before, during or after the periods?
- Is the flow scanty, normal or excessive?
- Is the blood thick bright red or pale watery?
- Do you notice any clots in the flow?

OK. Thank you very much.

I am back again after 15 days.

From the second day on, I had early morning erections. This never happens during the daytime. There was no bad smell and I have lost no weight.

I did notice, though, that when I was taking the first medicine, I had a continuous feeling I can only describe as, maybe, I was about to get an erection. If that makes any sense. I mention it now, because, that feeling went away about the time I started the new medicine. It must have started sometime after I took the first medicine the first time. I didn't realize it until it went away.

If there is anything else I can tell you that might help, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it very much.

Dr Kadwa, are you still there?

Is anyone there?

Thank you. I will do that.

It's been 15 days now. Most days I had erections early in the morning, though not very hard. On day 2 that bad smell came back, but, that was the only day I noticed it. And I gained about 5 lbs. I'm walking less as the weather had terned cold here. If it matters, I was also stung by a bee a couple days before I took the medicine this time. I am alergic to bee stings, but, was able to limit the swelling and irritation with Chinese herbs applied to the sting site. I am fine, now. That was another reason, I hadn't been walking as much as I usuall.

Thank you very much for your help. If there is anything else I can tell you, please let me know.

Dr Kadwa, are you there?

Will do. Thank you.

Hello again. It has been 15 days since I was here last. I noticed having an erection early in the morning on days 6, 9 and 14 only. I have gained a little more weight and the noise in my ears seems to be a bit louder most of the time. I have been walking as often as I can, but, due to the cold and rain, not everyday.

If there is anything else you would like to know, please ask.

Thank you for your help.
