I have been reading the personality types over the past few days. The book sample that I was reading only went as far as the Graphite personality.
I don't fit Aurum as far as personality goes. I need to look at a few others more in depth as Pulsatilla seems closest. (but I haven't found a thorough description)
It is slightly possible that I could be Argentum Nitricum. I'm not fully extroverted though and I don't have a prematurely aging body.
The book I was reading was very good. I might consider purchasing it.It was on the psychology of homeopathy.
I am still somewhat agitated today which is not at all who I am. I do experience anxiety at times but not agitation. It is tolerable.

Mel,
That book you read got ridiculed by
Well known homeopaths. It is similar to popular reading of astrology types.
The author based it on some of
His patients only.
Prescribing is done on chronic or acute. You have to know what is important to match, everything does not have to match. Things like never well since...things like strange, rare and peculiar symptoms that only show up in one remedy take precedence.
Constitutional refers to your nature that you were born with. That does not count with chronic prescribing.
People are not a remedy. You cannot compare a human being with Cal Carb or lycopodium or Lachesis etc. The
Proving done correctly simply show what healthy people experienced taking a remedy. Today there are many new remedies that have never been proved or proved thru meditation etc and you can read cases of healing from them , but you cannot trust them unless you see how the proving was done.
One has to take the case, distill the case into the best rubrics and know what to discard. Then find the remedies that contain most of those.
The remedies have values for how effective they are at certain symptoms.
There are several ways to do this -
One is use Boenninghausen
Approach of really big rubrics- as jeremy Sherr , homeo teacher said- the right rubric is the one that has the right remedy in it.
Homeopathy takes a long time to learn and some years of practice and
Knowing the materia medica well to be good at this.
Read drluc.com articles to get a common sense view of this and google Jeremy Sherr interviews on
Hpathy.com to get a sense of this from real experts.

Hmm. I see.
I know that there are far more remedies then I could possibly imagine. I do understand the basics on proving. I don't think I would want that job.
The book by Dr. Bailey was ridiculed? Oh me.
I, found it fascinating in that it gave a much more in depth look at the personalities and behaviors. Even the mannerisms mattered.
It was what I read on the JAAIM on the personality types that caused me to consider it more. It said "Typically, for more chronic conditions, a remedy will be selected by assessing the client’s constitutional type. The assessment will include several factors such as physical appearance, personality, fears, food preferences and reaction to stimuli. The following are a brief description of the 15 major constitutional types."
What is the point of knowing a person's facial characteristics and body type (height, weight, etc), and food preferences?
Why is it that "like can cure like" doesn't apply to all conditions.
Reading at drluc.com is what caused me to pursue homeopathic treatment/healing. The story of the woman healed with aurum metallicum was there. It gave me hope.
I will look up Jeremy Sherr. I think I have read articles by him but am not sure.
So, let's say that someone is an Arsenicum Album type. If they experienced depression or anxiety it would be of no help to know their constitutional type/remedy?
This is a genuine question. What are the types used for?
One thing that seems true is that when a remedy is found a person knows it. I look forward to that part.
Thank you, Simone for taking the time to explain.

If a person is an arsenicum type
And has depression, it could be caused by physical problems due to a sports head injury( arnica , nat sulph) it could be from a trauma event, (ignatia) it could be from low iron levels ( ferrum phos) it could be from using propecia / for hair loss which lowers testosterone levels
And on and On - all these are never well since...
David Johnson of homeopathy2health had a case where a normal dad started to get depressed and violent. He was on his way to being in an institution. No treatments homeo or other helped.
David took his case in great detail and found that the man had a head injury in his youth. Arnica healed him.
There are over 5000 remedies in the materia medica. You can use the Remedy Finder on this site to see what rubrics show up and what remedies show up. It is good for acutes.
You can read the organon online.
Start with the original.

David Johnson? Is he out of Duke University. I'll Google him but have been reading about someone with a similar name.
I have used the Remedy Finder. It will be very helpful for acute situations.
I appreciate Antivirus looking at my case very much.

David Johnson is in the same practice as dr Leela D'Souza, homeopathy2health, Madison ,Wi.
I gave you his name and hers earlier with the others.
No one is good at finding their own remedy in chronic. We have blind spots on ourselves and that is why homeopaths go to other homeopaths.

I don't mean to be a problem. I truly appreciate the time you have given to my case so far.
I am trying to comply with your treatment.
I will wait to report if that is what you recommend and see if something changes yet--BUT I have grown agitated from this remedy. (not at all like myself)
Also, my anxiety has worsened.
Is this considered to be positive and part of the process leading to recovery?
I do not want you to be angry with me or think that I am questioning your expertise. I am not. But I am beginning to wonder about this remedy.
Please advise if you have a moment. Otherwise I will report as originally advised.

My body aches all over, I feel more lethargic along with increased sweating, anxiety, and agitation.
Even my mother was surprised by the irrability. She says this is not the person she knows. I told her it is temporary.
I can bear the symptoms but it is unpleasant. feel like a stranger in my own body.
I anticipated experiencing at least a slight notable change for the good. Perhaps I need to show more patience?

Dear Antivirus:
Here is my report. I might be a day or two early.
feeling calm=0%
good sleep=0% difficult time falling asleep
proper energy level=0%
self control=0%
confidence level=0%
freshness on waking up=0%
love and affection with others=0% (I love my family very much as always)
mental freedom or freshness=0% (I'm hard on myself. I give grace to others but find it hard to give to myself)
body ache=0%
any other change you felt=I have experienced increased anxiety, some irritability (didn't have that before), worse constipation and am even more sluggish. My body aches. Everything seems like a chore and I feel like just sitting doing nothing. Then I feel very guilty for that. Also, I'm thirsty and feel dry no matter how much I drink.
I am not sure if it is relevant but my allergies have cropped up. I don't get runny nose or sneezing symptoms. My eyes swell and I have a lot of pressure in my sinuses. Normally this happens when I go outside during the time of high pollen. (spring/summer) It is happening and I am not going outside very often. (I didn't have this problem until a few years ago. Even steroids don't help. The only thing that helps is being by the ocean but I don't live by the ocean)
I am very sorry that I have failed to respond positively to this remedy. I know you have worked hard on this. I'm trying but just can't shake this depression. There has to be remedies to help. I will believe.

Antivirus,
Would it be possible to take at a dose of 30c first? I've always been sensitive to meds. Perhaps the same is true of homeopathic meds.
Please advise. I will follow your instructions.
Also, would you consider Carcinocin in the future?
Two more things: I don't think I mentioned in the case questions that I had osteomyelitis which later changed to cellulitis. I was treated with intravenous antibiotics for about 5 years. I am disabled in some ways from that.
I'm not a lazy or angry person. I'm totally exhausted and overwhelmed with life. I have always tried to make peace and please people. I didn't take care of myself and now it is costing me/us.
Also, I have been diagnosed with MS. My condition has been stable for the last 10 years or so. I currently take no regular treatment for it, but have had take high doses of steroids in the past.
I don't know if that matters. But I wanted to add it. For me aches and pains are a normal part of life. Depression...not so much. Anxiety since April of 2015. I got the flu/pneumonia the afternoon after the call came in about my sister. Steroid shot, inhaler and time got me better but my nerves were raw every since that. And then came the depression.

I'm sensitive to most medications. I often have to take a pediatric dose. Sometimes I have paradoxical reactions.
I had Stevens Johnson Syndrome twice in the same year. It took awhile to determine the cause. Fortunately a nurse caught on and saved my life.
More reasons to learn more about homeopathy.
I'll start with 30c and monitor my response. I can go higher if needed.

One more question...
I usually use BioFreeze for my neck & back pain. I haven't used it because I think it would antidote these remedies. Can I use something like Arnica cream instead. (I've never tried it but want to find an alternative if possible)

My family puts no pressure on me but I feel as though I am letting them down. I don't know if hormones are a factor here?

I hope you will continue with it. I'm sorry it is so complicated. I only want to get well. I know homeopathy is a process.
