DawnMarie or beth?

You have two names as a poster going on under the
one name DawnMarie-

According to forum rules you cannot have more than
one poster identity for many reasons, one being that
it causes confusion.

This is a public forum and any member is allowed to post
anything they want on any thread as long as they are not
attacking another member of the forum. Often people
post things when they feel advice is bad or unsafe or
they disagree - that is why this is a forum not a private
interaction between the patient and who is giving advice.

I will respect your request - good luck.

But I think the real damage was from the high potency Homeopathic medicine that unleashed a lot of layers or energy/pain that this summer took time to help her get back into balance with some other homeopathic meds. But then left her deep into this very confortable home state of just wanting calm and peace and safety.

So again I apologize that this happened. And she had gone to check the status last night so I think this is where she was confused and you were confused. She stayed up till 2am upset about the whole thing. She was pretty upset because she really likes evocationer and he has been a help in being really supportive.

I did not know this rule and I should have explained this to evocationer. I just hope he is not mad because I dont want her to be upsett ir loose out on the help as she has felt very optimistic in getting help. And she does not take critism very well.


For Evocationer ---
I sincerely apologize to you.
Please let me know how we can remedy this. I hope you will continue helping her. I think by the fact that you are more gentler in the approach with lower potencies instead of high(10m-lm) and seeing that polycrest remedies will not get to it knowing it more deeper I feel really good that you can help her.

I feel like 1 dr did not get anywhere with her using all of these polycrest remedies and it was not getting her to any progress and the other dr was too extreme with her reacting with bad healing crisis.

I know her biggest things are:
-Wanting to be a part of the group- family and friends
-she has many experiences of being outcasted on the outskirts of groups many times with having someone that feels threatened get her alienated from the group. Sort of like high school if the alpha or leader of the group does not like a person in the group they can get everyone else to reject this one person. She keeps having this happen.

She loves community and being a part of it. And it is really important to her especially since she has the issues with being completely a part of her family and only getting to see her parents for the holidays and not her nephew(very close) and brother.

She also does not handle anger well inside. I know she has done best if she walks fast, dances and runs. I think if she did not get the asthma or heart palpitations/chest pain(she will clench he chest if it gets really bad) she would probably get a lot of stress resolved with running. She loves the feeling when she runs which can only be like 50-100ft? Riding a bike, going on a moped scooter, riding a horse all of which where she goes fast and feels alive and powrrful/strong.

I do not know if this helps, but I hope you do not give up on her because of me.

Thank you for listening.
Mr. G

Evocationer,
I know you may not be on here that much but please let us know if you will still be helping with this case or not. I hope you are able to overlook and move past the misunderstanding and confusion. And as stated previously it is explained to give clarity and should hopefully help to resolved any possible issues and the error on our side.

Again you have been of great help. We will wait for a response. If we have not heard back in a week or so we will try posting in reference with yoyr name posted in the forum post title. Thank you.

I am a little confused - there are two separate patients here right? I don't have any issue with this as long as there are two individuals posting two separate cases in their own words.

This is Mr G again. I am sorry for the confusion. We share a computer and since we share sometimes if one of us logs out the other one may not realize wjose account we are under when we log in, for instance gmail or facebook. The only thing here I want to get help with is the ptsd case posted here. The other case forum post you seemed to have helped with the medication venus remedy. I only want to have you helping with the ptsd case posted here. I will also post more clarity as I upload the post and will put in quotation itallics what my spouse shares to make things easier to share. I hope this helps.
Mr. G

On a side note she had a really weird dream last night. I will share below.
-Mr G

"I was in danger. At one point I was in a room with one man. A container we could tell was dangerous and there threw it out of the room. The room was white, empty and had only one door. Just myself and the male figure which seemed to be protective. Then we had to act quickly as something was happening outside of the room. We closed the door quickly. As soon as we did there were animals that come out of a similar container like a pandoras box but it was more like a vase. All sorts of scary wild beasts like tigers, lions wolves any animals that have sharp teeth and sharp claws and could rip you apart. It was scary but I was glad I was safe in the room."

She mentioned in relation to the dream word for word as she wrote in the Microsoft word:

"I think the scares me most about the wild animals like lions or wolves is they have sharp teeth and claws. I mean if I were to see them at the zoo I would be in awe of their strength, power and majesty.

I wish I could be powerful like them. No one messes with these animals. They are at the top of the food chain. They intimidate most animals and the ones that try to overpower or challenge these powerful animals will be reciprocated with these ferocious animals to stand their ground, accept the challange and fight back without being scared. They dont bother for anyone to mess with them.

And at the same time if they are not careful they can rip you apart, bite you, attack and really hurt you. So I would never want to face one alone and I think the worse death would be if I was attacked by one of these powerful animals. But I sure wish I could be more strong and resilient like them. Not let anything tear me down. Be able to be in my power and not let stress get to me. Not feel intimidated by others, stop feeling attacked, offended, iritated, judged by others. Be able to shake it off. I did an excerise once in a workshop when we pretended to be powerful animals.

I loved it. I felt great because I could protect myself and defend myself. I think the only thing that scares me is not wanting to become like these powerful animals like panther, wolf, lion, tiger etc. in a way where I could be taken over by the darker side it where my anger could harm others scare me.

I have experienced so much violence that I associate anger with bad things. Assertiveness I had associated with it not being what it really was but it was aggressive energy and not healthy.

And I know that I have had a lot to work through with my own anger in this last year that has come up with not being able to stand others treating me bad or those I care about.

Also I think that I can relate to these animals because a lot of their life is about survival of the fitest. I am trying to find my place and power with out going out of balance/extreme side of the shadow side of competition/survival/dominator/subservient or winner/loser bull crap that is a part of our culture.

I also feel I can relate because others felt threatened by my natural leader qualities and wanting to work as a team and they would then get competitive and kick me out of the pack or herd what ever it is. So then I have so many times become the loner not out of choice but because other people have to be horrible and cruel which honestly gets me really mad. I used to feel sad and take it as my fault.

I know now that I did not cause them to be that way but then again because I do not confront them or walk away I contribute somehow to get myself into these scenarios. I see it better now when someone starts showing these tendencies. So I have learned to avoid these situations better.

I want to be powerful just like these strong animals without being overly aggresive(and even balance out how I respond with my own inner anger that comes up in these situations). That would feel great and I would be on top of the world. I could take on life with full confidence, be able to pursue my hobbies, passions and career with out letting others get me down. I would be able to feel alive and powerful just like I do when I dance or hike or bike. I could live passionately and vibrantly. I could acconplish anything!! I would feel like I would be on top of the world!!"

Although I am cautious about information given on the basis of me saying what I am looking at (ie. animal remedies) I have to say that you have given me the exact essence of the animal kingdom, from our modern understanding in homoeopathy. Interestingly, I see other people who need remedies from other kingdoms actually repeat their own kingdom-words when animal is suggested, whereas you have been extremely passionate and energetic in your description of the qualities we associate with the animal kingdom. I will take it as a confirmation that I am looking in the right place.

I will add this information to what I already have and see what ideas come to me.

Hi Evocationer,

Thank you for doing your best to be as objective and non biased as possible. I know she was only given 2 remedies tjat were animal. Sepia a long time ago that did not do much and and lachesis temporarily was for her feeling jealous and only needed it for 2 weeks about 4 months and has not used it since.

We do not know too much about the difference between kingdoms. We just know there is animal, insect, elements, minerals might be the same thing and plants.

But if you feel like the rest of the case is also animal based and not just based on what she said above in reference to her dream then that is good. I just thought it was good to mention this. Because what she said with the dream and about it has also been an ongoing thing for her outside of the homeopathic forum. And she has had trouble for a long time with this and even is going to therapy to learn skills to handle these situations better.

Any animals she mentioned were just ones on the top of her head but not necessarily that thos animals meaning more or less if they do or do not point to the direction of the right animal and that is still baded on if you think her physical synptoms or the rest of the case before the dream part also had these elements associated strongly more so with animals.

Again thank you for checking in with yourself so as to not be biased.

Also, if you need help let us know if you have other questions or if you would want her to share what she thinks in her head or says at home about people that get aggresive with her. As I do not think she mentioned this because she mostly does not say things she thinks or says at home in confrontation but I know she not only would be upset, anxious or sad but also has gotten revved up and angry about others treating her cruely so maybe her explaining how she is at home in response might help? Thank you.

Ok I am torn between 3 remedies here.

These are Carcinosinum, Lac delphinium (dolphin) and Lac lupinum (wolf).

I could make an argument for any of them, not only based on the Kingdom/grouping theme method, but even through rubrics found in the repertory.

Carcinosinum is best represented by the number of rubrics. However, this is not surprising as clinically it is an extremely well used and well known remedy.

Of the other two, Lac delphinium presents for more rubrics. In fact, when I restrict my search only to animal remedies, it comes fairly close to the top, right after the 4 polycrests Carc, Sep, Calc and Lach.

There are some specific rubrics that drew my attention to Lac-del, and considering this is a small (not commonly used) remedy this is interesting:

Anxiety if a time is set
Dreams pursued by enemies
Delusion, she is not safe
Delusion, impressions of danger
Delusion, surrounded by enemies
Delusion, is separated from the world
Sentimental
Homesickness
Nostalgia
Feels an outcast
Fear of animals PLUS Love of animals
Fear of robbers
Fear of impending danger
Sensation of isolation
Oversensitive to noise on going to sleep

So, if you can get the remedy, let's start with Lac delphinium 30c. Let me know when you have it and I will give you directions for dosage.

If you get pillules you will also need a small (15-25ml) amber bottle with a dropper, and some alcohol to mix up the remedy into dosing liquid.

Evocationer,

Thank you. We will order this remedy and then wait to for its delivery. Once we get it we will tell you we got it. And wait for your iinstructions.

Thanks also for not being biased towards only animal kingdom as if a mineral or some other kingdon remedy would be better we would definitely wabt her to have whatever helps he best.

And in the case she loves various animals and plants flowers but we tried not to have her talk too much because if I mentioned only one animal she likes a practioner could get biased and think this is her remedy based on the fact that she might start talking about the animal.

they could think this a sign when in fact that when she gets excited about a subject she could certainly get in depth about many animals and any of her many passions and life enthusiams. She is very thorough with explanations and loves deep conversations. She loves chatting lol.

And again why I mentioned not going off her mentioning animals in general or specific animal for you to just assume her remedy is only animal or any specific animal.

On a side note just to understand homeopathy for myself. I know 1 dr. had started her on 200c potencies before.

Another that gave her too high (I think 10m-nat sulph after a head concusion last december- she hit her head really hard when she was sick in the bathroom, cried and screamed and wailed on the floor with feeling like she could not breathe, refused to go to er that day and only took the day off from work because she can be stuborn- next day was totally out of it and could not speak right/barely talk or respond to me-I was scared because she was really bad went to er- nat sulph caused her to sleep for almost a week and 1/2 if I could remember right and the stramonium which brougjt up a huge intensity in her ptsd with bad timing to events/circumstances also going on at the time. I did not like how the second dr handled her and I also think her was very abrupt and insensitive to her with potency as well as they way he talked to her.)

What is your reason for 30c? Just curious for learning sake as it seems each has their own prescribing or do I say dosing method.

I enjoy learning about this as she has been helped a lot by homeopathy so it nice to hear from someone who knows how this works and helps people on a regular basis. Thank you.

Again we will inform you when she gets the medicine and wait for dosing instructions. I am off to work now. Have a good day. Thank you.
Mr. G

We got the lac delphinium.
Please advise us on the dosing and preparation. Thank you.
 
dawnmarie88 9 years ago
We did get it. Please let us know if yoy are still helping her. Thanks
 
dawnmarie88 9 years ago
I apologise, I normally give the dosage instructions with the prescription. No idea why I held off doing that here.

If you instead have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper to make your own liquid dose. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.

If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand

2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water

3. Stir very thoroughly

4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.

This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.

If any old symptoms reappear, or any current symptoms worsen, this is a GOOD sign in most cases. DO NOT SUPPRESS them with other kinds of medication unless you are in real danger (which is a highly unlikely reaction to a remedy).

However, if you are on regular medication it is also important that you do NOT stop taking this. Once it is determined the medicine has acted beneficially, we can look at reducing such medication if safe to do so. Regular medication in this instance is NOT defined as other homoeopathic medicines which MUST be stopped.


Take one dose each day for 3 days (3 doses in total).
