Arsen alb 30c

please forgive me i'm new to all this but have been trying homoeopathic remedies for a long term sleep disorder i've had with great success. However i can't seem to find the answer to pressing question. I'm taking the arsen alb which i took as directed on the bottle for a week but a few days later my symptoms came back. Is it safe to take either on going on and on an intermittent basis? I think it's the remedy for me but i think i need a longer on it but i'm not sure if its safe.

THANKS......
 
homeo.mzp 9 years ago
Hey thanks for your response.

1. Age,sex,weight,body and face appearance, country, occupation.

39, F,13.7st,Scotland,office based but off ill. Body? Face?

2. Main complaints and other associated troubles.

a)Where is the trouble; The exact locality of the complaint like hands,legs etc; duration of trouble.

Severe insomnia with autoimmune symtoms accompanying or just before. Incredibly itchy hands and some ibs at other times.

b)What exactly do you feel, Sensation as pain, how pain feels or burn etc.

N/a

c)What are the factors that causes this trouble according to you.

Seen 7 specialists but no answers. Has maybe brought on early menopause. Tested for most mainstream concerns Inc c*ncer and tumours in brain. Nothing. In past reacted to food such as spices not really environment. Bowel checks out ok and not celiac. Does not respond to gluten free diets and other diet things not so reactive now. Cinnamon bad trigger even in miniscule anounts.

d)Condition under which the complaint is reduced or you feel better like,cold or hot application,cold or hot weather,position as standing,walking,rest etc.

Taking arsen alb. Hormone therapy worked at one time but stopped i think the immune system is at fault and turned on itself as it can attack the hormones.

e)Condition under which the complaint is increased like,cold or hot application,cold or hot weather,position as standing,walking,rest etc.

N/a

f)Any other complaint any where in the body.

See above. Get facial flushes. Had hair loss & in bad condition too but ruled out thyroid. Take supplements now and these other effects have gone away. Originally responded well to omega 3 supplements. Depression follows a bad night but not before.

It all started after a very long period of chronic stress and then a minor operation and diet changes. Eg went to a vegetarian diet for a while whilst i was on benefits as it was cheaper.

g)Onset time of troubles in detail, i.e which came first, after that what problem and so on.

Symptoms came on gradually over 3 month period. Sometimes i cannot fall asleep at all all night long even though i'm deeply calm and at the last stage before sleep. I have onset maintenance and early waking insomnia. I may have had infections before it started as i seem to be ill constantly for weeks the year before. At that time i had slowed speech as well as bad headaches. Tested neg for menighitis or lymes disease.

h)Treatment method adopted and its result.

Nothing as worked long term. If it is the immune system it just keeps adapting itself against whatever therapies i give it. You name it I've tried it! Nearly 4 years in now. Homoeopathy was a last resort but short very promising response from the arsen alb. Have also tried coffee crudea, kali brom, passiflora, alfalfa and valeriana.

3. History of diseases in family.

Asthma. Diabetes. Eczema. Icythyosis. Heart trouble. Hiatus hernia. Mental health (i've been cleared by cpn psychologist and psychotherapist). Schizophrenia. GAD.

4. Personal History.
a)About childhood.

Not sure what to say here or if i want to say too much but it was fairly traumatic.

b)Academic performance.

Good.

c)Any major incidents in life and the effect of it on life.

Again not sure what to say here other than what i've said above.

d)How you are satisfied with your sex life, friends, family members, company etc.

Ok.

5. Habits/Addiction.
a)Smoking, Alcohol,Sleeping pills, Laxative etc.

Teetotal and i don't smoke. I take half the minimum dose of mirtazapine nightly (7.5mg) as i feel this takes the edge off some of the symptoms. Doesn't resolve it though.

b)Masturbation and frequency.

I choose not to answer and i've never seen this come up in homoeopathy test before!

6. How is your Appetite and Thirst.

Normal.

7. Likes and Dislikes.
a)Alcohol Bread Butter Bitter Salt Sweet Sour Fats Milk Mud Chalk Egg Spicy food Meat Fish Fruits Fried Food Warm food-drink Cold food-drink Ice Ice cream Chocolates Tea Coffee.

Not really but i'm not keen on normal tea just terrible. Ice cream also set off this condition badly. Even heavy fats and fried food do like doughnuts etc.

b)Anything else about like and dislike of any activity with you or surrounding.

Overly noise sensitive with this condition as well jump out of my seat at even the slightest noise.

8. Bowel movements.
a)Nature of stool, frequency, satisfactory or not.

It varies but fairly normal. I think anyway.

b)Any discomforts associated with stool.

Not really.

9. Urine.
a)Frequency, nature, volume.

A very much reduced flow of urine since i was ill as well. Otherwise normal.

b)Any discomfort before, during or after urination/odour

Nope. Normal.

11. For Females.
a)Menses, Regular, Irregular,Early, Late.

Varies but always had trouble with my periods my whole adult life. Very heavy & used to be very painful when i was teenager and mid 20s. Became regular when i went on to hormone therapy in a form of natural cream but then stopped again and has been irregular but still heavy and sometimes painful. I have a bulky uterus. Started the pill just before i got ill as well now off this again some 3 years.

b)Duration of menses.

4-5 days.

c)Nature of flow, Scanty, Blood colour, Consistency, Odour, Staining, itching/ when and what makes it worse/better.
See above. Dark. No odour, no itching. Painkillers help it. Clots.

12. Sleep.
a)The quality of sleep, the quietness or restlessness of sleep,
position of sleep, times of waking and reasons for waking,
need for cover over various parts of the body,
whether the window must be open or closed etc.
common dreams, peculiar sounds or gestures during sleep, etc.

Like to sleep on my right side. Quality of sleep is non existent at times and then when i do sleep is very poor unless i have something to help. Hardly slept normally in nearly 4 years except when i've had temporary relief from the above issues i've raised here in. Mostly like my feet out of the covers.

13. Sweat
a)How much, what parts, staining, Odour.

Normal.

14. Weather
a)Tolerance to heat and cold, dryness, humidity, weather changes, sun,
foggy weather, wind drafts, closed rooms, etc.

Sometimes i feel the cold more but i don't like heat.

15. Mental Status
a)The quality of the patient's life in relationship to loved ones, family, friends and colleagues. Overall quality of energy available to function in daily life, and under various circumstances.

Again i don't really know how to answer that one. How long is a bit of string? Could be better. The energy levels are terrible obviously when i don't sleep. Sleep is the main issue here which seems to be relative to autoimmune symptoms i been through homoeopathic books and all this psycho profiling i'm a phosphorous type.

b)Any mental/emotional shocks occurring in the patient's life-grief, major financial losses separation from loved ones, death, identity crisis and other stress in life.

Yes see above. I went through prolonged chronic stress thru unemployment and homelessness and trouble with jobs moving area lots of times etc. This was before i got sick though.

c)Memory,ability to concentrate/comprehend.

Was bad initially when i was ill but now is ok. Obviously after sleep deprived night it's affected.

d)Are you fearful of anything eg: Animals, people, being alone, darkness, death, disease, robbers, thunder, storm, high places.

Not really but i don't like large spiders and i sometimes dream horror dreams of snakes.

e)Are you anxious about anything: if yes, give details.

Just normal life really. I get stressed out about not being able to sleep. But that's afterwards as quite often i'm extremely calm but i still can't sleep. I used to wake up in the night having a panic attack but not having had a bad dream and no external stressors causing it. I rarely have panic attacks in the daytime and i have had 2 or 3 in my whole life.

f)Are you impatient.

Yes.

g)Are you doubtful or suspicious.

Yes

h)Are you hurt easily (emotionally)how do you react. Does it cause hatred/revenge.

I used to be more so but i have strong faith as a Christian and i've learnt to handle myself better and i certainly don't have hatred or revenge brewing away.

i)Does your pride get hurt easily.

Not really.

j)Are you depressed, if so, reason/circumstances.

After a bad night i become demotivated.

k)Do you like to share your problems.

Yes

l)Effect of consolation.

Comforting.

m)Do you ever become suicidal when? How.

After a bad night and because the illness has gone on so long without help was trying to hold a full time job & it became too much. If i give in and feel there is no hope i feel that way.

n)Memory- quality if poor, for what ( eg. Names, places, people, what you read).

N/a

o)Do you weep easily, effect of weeping, ie, does it make you worse or better.

Not really.

p)Are you easily irritated. What makes you angry, how do you express it.

Nope.

q)Are you destructive.

Nope.

r)How good are you in making decisions.

Good.

s)Do you like company or like to remain alone.

Either but enjoy own company too.

t)How seriously are you affected by disorder and uncleanness in your surroundings.

Hate that.

u)How does failure appear to you?

???

v)Are there any matters that you deeply dislike?

Anti faith issues.

w)What activities you deeply like? How does it affect your mood?

Technology and music. Films. Normal.

x)Are you affectionate? How does others sorrow affect you?

Yes. Normally.

y)Any present fears in your life or future.

I want to be well.

z)Any present life or future life desires.
I want to be well.

stop arsen. alb., after 3 days of stopping,

take LACHESIS 200c liquid, 2 drops in a tablespoon water, only 2 dose not more than that, not daily, 1st dose before sleep and next dose next morning after wakeup,

{if buying pills then 3 pills 2 times, 1st at night and 2nd next morning, not daily, chew it, dnt swallow with water}

dnt eat or drink anything 30 minutes before or after medicine,

report how you felt in sleep, tiredness,confidence and mental freshness after 20 days of stopping the course,

also do some exercises like SURYA NAMASKAR (google it or youtube) 5 TIMES DAILY for proper blood flow in whole body,

BHRAMARI PRANAYAM (google it or youtube) 10 TIMES DAILY for mental freshness and insomania,

thanks....
 
homeo.mzp 9 years ago
Ok thanks.
 
rcharris 9 years ago
the arsen alb was working really well for me though. Can i still take this ongoing? Instead of the lachesis? This was really my question? Sorry.
 
rcharris 9 years ago
i my opinion lachesis seems to be more right remedy for u, if u dnt want to try no problem,

you can increase the potency of arsenic album as 200c, if it worked, but take only 2 doses and wait to see whether working or not.
 
homeo.mzp 9 years ago
Ok again really appreciate your help. If it's working at 30c can i take it ongoing or is it not safe?
 
rcharris 9 years ago
i've ordered some lachesis but i won't take them both together. it's just i really like the arsen alb
 
rcharris 9 years ago
You cannot take them together, fyi.

The Ars Album, may be 'palliating'
your problem- in other words, making
you feel better but suppressing the cure at deep levels.That would
be the same as taking an over the counter allopathic medicine.

As homeo.mzp said, you could try ars album 200c 2 doses and then
wait. You could have an aggravation of existing symptoms and then
start to feel better ( homeopaths look for a direction of cure to see
if things are going on the right path) Google 'herings law of cure'/

Someone has to supervise you on your reaction to the 200c and
whether it is the correct reaction.

Or you could try the Lachesis after you have a gap from the Ars. Album.
