Have low libido now. But at the same time I was diagnosed low thyroid, I also had a 1 year old and 2 year old, so low libido could have been exhaustion! However, I still have low libido and used to have a lot of sexual energy. No aversions per se, just desire not there like it used to be, 10 years ago. No complaints. Have never had same sexual energy as before children/thyroid diagnosis. However, orgasms are normal, healthy. Sex is not painful or anything.

I know you are the Homeopath, but tell me if I am on the right track with my studies. I am TB miasm, 'phlegmatic' consititution--I feel like I fit pulsatilla or lyco for a chronic first rememdy. (So not qualified, just thinking!)

jsut bty what u mention doesnt confirm remedy--but my thoughts are down to calc carb;;graphite;pulsatilla;sepia;sulphur

the menses skin thing--point more to graphite--but i am still working on how meds have affected ur symptomology--and perhaps (muy thought) better use sepia or pulsatila strat--due to use of such meds...no definite yet---but still digging through mm(materia medica)--agian the meds r my concern---and how exactly symptoms will change after disuse--and what eeffect remedy being given while stillusing--we may need allo presrciber of thyroid med in on this --so we monitor that while we treat thi sway---so far these r my thoughts..

I have a couple of other things that might help: I hope I was clear earlier...my skin used to be OILY, now is OILY but usually dry near nose. Sometimes those areas also get very red and burn. THe dryness is not normal dryness though. Seems extremely dry suddenly and sometimes very scaly. It feels rough to the touch right now, 1 week post menses. No redness or burning. I have congested open comedones in that area also, but have always had those. THe scalp part is the part that rides with my menses and comes and goes. THe face part has been fairly consistent the past 7 or so months. THe other thing I was just thinking about was the fact that Iam not supposed to drink on metformin. So when Iknow I am on vacation and drinking more thana glass of wine or something I don't take it. If this happens several nights in a row, my skin seems to get worse. Metformin is supposed to control blood sugar but also helps people with PCOS.

Also, I have spotted today and three times in the past 12 months. Hormone fluctuation.
When I can remember my dreams they are vivid. Last night a firend who died recently was in my dream. SHe was telling me what it was like to be a 'ghost'. (I am weird) I have also had dreams about my friends who are preganant and have never been wrong about the sex of their babies. Even when it is a friend I haven't spoken to in 15 years! I felt compelled to track that particular person down and call her and she WAS pregnant. My dreams are usually fairly active rather than relaxing. A lot of motion, activity and people. Some are from past, some people I don't know. My children are rarely in my dreams, which I find odd.

I perspire, it seems, when I am cold, which I think is weird. Or nervous, which I never used to do.
I rarely get headaches. My digestion seems normal. I get constipated when I travel. I will go through each of the ones you mention too in mm and see if I can rule any one out. Fair?? Happy to help. I am just confused as to whether you treat hypothyroid onthe assumption that that is underlying all other hormonal issues, or try to treat deeper in the hopes that the visible symptoms will also cure.
 
jeac2008 last decade
treatment is based upon current symptomology and characteristics--with the knowing of meds and such being used--by tracing when meds started use and symptomology thta existed--prescribed upon---compared to after use had begun----i dont use diagnostic names as hypo/hypo thyroid for seeking perscription--ONLY subjective (symptoms as u sense and relate) and objective (those observabale by others)--i like the objective--except the way u relate by writing and express---so i rely much on what u relate to me---and my job to cipher and understand exact as u mean--not for me to bias--this is looknig more to me as sepia to start treatment---

how available are remeieds to u?how long between prescription and obtaining?
 
John Stanton last decade
concerning hypothyroid question u posed---i look for the later that we see now-- i dont get envolved in the trend (remedy personalities)---for instance key symptoms so far--better open air;worse cold;worse windy cold;skin condition before and during menses;skin condition location around/along nose/scalp;characterisitics of skin condition (peeling then red (no itching))----curent better for -worse for--guide as do particulars---as long remedy is homoeopathic enough to case symptomology then at worse we zig zag through-----once we start it is not for certain what may come up --we adjust as symptoms dictate--that is most important--rerlating to symptoms that exist NOW---past info is to be known and consdered strongly--but current state is the palce we start...
 
John Stanton last decade
I have no known external ameliorations or aggravations for my skin condition. I tend to believe that skin things come from inside. I think it is hormonal imbalances.

I can order today and receive within a few days. No place near me sells anything other than 30c or less. From a student's perspective, it will be fascinating to see what DOES come up during treatment.
 
jeac2008 last decade
looks like sepia still--30c potencies wil be fine---and can get as need other potencies...what mm u using?
 
John Stanton last decade
I found sepia 30c near me. WIll purchase today. I per day? DO I have to stop coffee all together??? Or can I just take sepia on empty stomach?

I have not decided which mm to buy yet, so I am using the various ones online at hpathy. Which one do you prefer? I read Sepia from Allen and one other. Sounds righ! :)
 
jeac2008 last decade
sepia dose --1 pelet 30c in 4 oz water--stir-- 1 teaspoon dose---NO REPEAT DOSE AT ALL --til we assess the response of 1st dose...

no acids foods and drinks--(coffes;teas;carbonated soft drinks;vinegar;pickled foods;fruits and fruit juices;tomatoes;..etc)
no ther eds or suppleents/herbs/nothing remotly medicinal ...etc (internally as well as externally---) except thyroid edicine(maintain the usage for now)-----


alo after taking 1 dose--keep track (diary ) of things that occur--obsrve urelf closely--and note al things--as occur reflect when had in health history before (old symptom) or whether Nevee ever occurred in health history before (new symptom)--important keep track---

another thing is there amy be a down phase--aggiation of some sort--keep me closely informed--and dont panic---

it would be well have camphor 30c and nux vomica 30c on hand---
 
John Stanton last decade
sounds like a plan. I will report back.
 
jeac2008 last decade
OK. Can I not have fruit all day?
I took a 30c pellet straight yesterday mid morning, well after coffee and no vitamins. BEFORE I got your message to dilute. About an hour afterward, I felt a warm rush coming from my core. I actually got warm from the inside. Then a headache. Then I got really thirsty. Nothing else was new or old.

This morning I dissolved the pellet and took a teaspoon. (I know you said don't repeat, but I did b/c the potency was different) I feel nothing yet (3 hours later) except small headache, which may be because I skipped my morning cup of coffee.

That is the update for now. But really, being a vegetarian, I can't go days without fruit! Did you just mean no fruit in the morning? I will update more later.
 
jeac2008 last decade
over acidity can be a problem---most on the preise of some sort of aggiation--

when last time u had such headache as after 1st dose? and second dose?

if head pain fro no coffee--then this shos sensitivity to coffee--and we may need address this aspect--falls in line of thought---nothing remotly medicinal--which coffe is--asother things

back to fruit--depende much on ur sensitivity to acid fruits and juice....if sensitive as with cofee- then for cetain best not have ---but i rely on ur knowing of self to deterine this...

dont repeat sepia again--though modified 2nd dose was not recommended--no way to hurry reedies action--

obtain thyroid test--sooner better--tell doc ur thoughts--that u ned monitor--levels a=so as not take dosage in excess of need---for if throuh (correct) homoeopahic treatment--level wil be higher than should and meds nee be reduced---otherwise we lose any ground gained by allo ed use-it will be natural functions wil be establihed at rate (not certain)----

coffee issue --we may need dose with nux v and come back to sepia---but not certain ye---main thoing is simplify and relax--keep notes as what occurs--and we assess --sort through this..
 
John Stanton last decade
OK. I only drink one double cappuccino. Espresso has less caffeine than regular drip coffee, so I don't think I have such a big reaction to coffee. My headache is worse today. Right behind my eyes. But I will live! I also feel tired. Yesterday I felt great most of the day. Right now I am tired.

BTW--I forgot to take my thyroid meds today, just b/c I was dissolving the pellet, and then getting kids ready for school. I will start again tomorrow.

Thanks again for your help.
 
jeac2008 last decade
no coffee--

if can stay off med then do so--but i advise soon we get thyroid test done and know the count..

when u have such headache before in health history?

u have nux -v on hand?
 
John Stanton last decade
yesterday was great--how does this compare to before any dosing of sepia?
immediate betterment --indictaes partial homoeopathic --secondary effect will occur --with some sort aggravatioon--possible headache is this--but could also be coffee withdrawl syndrome---as well as no thyroid med---

justy keep me close informed and answeer above question
 
John Stanton last decade
just a note-- immediate betterment is not what i consider right remedy ---but if some aggrafvtion occur befoire the betterment then --that is another thought..

sequence is IMPORTANT
 
John Stanton last decade
Headache is pretty well gone 12 hours after taking dose. I don't consider what I felt yesterday as a betterment. I do have nux, but 30x. Can I take maybe 2 of those if you say I need to?

I just had my levels done 2 weeks ago. What will my doctor say if I tell him I took homeo to try and get off and need to check labs??? I imagine he will laugh his ass off. Will those numbers help or do you want post-Sepia.

I would consider headache unusual for me. I only get headaches if I have too much wine the night before OR if there is a severe change in weather. So headache is not normal for me. Also, I met my husband for lunch today and he thought I was 'slow' moving like I was sore in the muscles. I felt a little brain fog and like I couldn't concentrate. I even made a wrong turn getting there. Just reporting. Now I feel fine/normal.

By saying GREAT yesterday I just meant after the headache passed adn stuff I felt great normal. It wasn't extraordinary though. I am still keeping track.
 
jeac2008 last decade
OH, and i have missed thyroid meds before if I have been traveling overseas and stuff and I don't get headaches.
 
jeac2008 last decade
well if u feel confident NO more thyroid med--without doc envolvment--then this is way we approach--and yeah he most like will frown and think ''what the hell this lady wacked'''....post sepia throid is what i am looking for--so we adjust--u need understnd IF treatment is correct --throid function will have been affected---improved functioning--which means attempt to establish harmonal balance qwill take place---but with med working same area/sphere ---not much more body function can do but deal with oveer dose of thyroid med in blood---so weaning procerss is typical for THOSE whom med cant be taken away immediate-----better not use at all--if u can--but u decide and relate to me --what u decide---but docs view woyuld help--if in fact thyroid was diagnoised PROPPERLY and prescribed in accuracy (according allo rules/guidelines)--


describe in detail the headache symptoms/characteristics....in what way these lateste headaches smae as others u mentioned --??how differrent?please explain in detail

obtain 30c or 200c of nux vomica-

also obtain sulphur 30c

how hasd spoting been affetced?
skin?
 
John Stanton last decade
The headache I had yesterday was behind my eyes and in the back of my head, fairly strong and long lasting. It was not sharp pain, it was more throbbing/constant/dull. I seriously do not get many headaches so I really can't compare. He ones I get from severe weather changes are not as strong and do not last long. If I have a hangover, if I recall, those are more on the top of my head.
Spotting stopped. Skin feels less oily this morning. Still feel slightly rough/dry.

I will get these other 30cs.

THyroid was properly medicated for my symptoms. According to lab tests, I was fairly supressed (overall tsh was maybe .017) but that is where I felt the best. Docs were fine with that.
 
jeac2008 last decade
let me know days u use thyroid med----and days u dont

better to decide one way or other--and keep this aspect continuous----


no alcoholic beverages

what ur curent status?
 
John Stanton last decade
no changes. no headache. Just feel tired again today. Even though I slept well.

Tomorrow night I will be drinking wine as we are going out to dinner for my birthday. I can't imagine everyone on treatment stops drinking coffee, eating fruit and drinking indefinitely. If these are appropriately spaced and the meds working on molecular level in your body, why/how would these foods interefere?
 
jeac2008 last decade
i am scincerely sorry --but i will not treat if need use alcohol or coffee during treatment--i am not offended--and i seek not to offend---it is my way --and i am allowed this--as u r allowed to drink and do as u will --

REMEMBER--when an individual is sick--taste -desires and aversions r affected--nothing is excluded from this within the realm of the individual 's illness---if so it is not hard to see--that substances
that they hvae grown use to using while ill--may be the very things that can obscure/intefere treatment---this is all mentioned in 'organon of mediicne' samual hahnemann--founder of homoeopathy--and verified through clinical--for se whom seek the truth in healing.according to homoeopathy

EXAMPLES;

as with alcoholism--does alcohol need be stopped for cure?or can one cure while using?of course we address the underlying reasoning--but can we truly heal if alcohol is continued?and what does it say of the alcoholic -whom wants to be better but unable/unwilling to stop alcohol? of they would love a magic healing power to sway their choice and not put ANY effort--

how about children with allegeric reactions--why should they stop those foods during treatment?if can treat while using ..easy ?right? no again--all objects with perspective possibility of intefering with cure must be removed--

just examples --u do what u need to do---maybe i am wrong--but i am willing to find out but not at patients expense--i am obligated to tell remove what deems potential obsticle -whether patient likes it or not..
coffe-no alcohol--is small thing to go without --if one truly seeks health...

sorry for taking of ur time---
better u find
someone who will fit and say things u wish --for ur personal treatment..i wont waste my time any further in this case..
 
John Stanton last decade
I totally appreciate this reasoning and I have Organon, 6th edition, so have read his philosophies. I am grateful for the help you offered. If you choose not to spend your time, it isn't mine really, I understand. I am not a compliant patient. maybe I should have cosen to start treatment after this dinner we had planned with another couple for some time. But thank you SO much for your interest and help. I really do appreciate it. If anything drastic happens by way of aggravation or something I will let you know. Thank you again.
 
jeac2008 last decade
