The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Att: Dr. Sameer - various problems
Hi Sameer,I really hope you have time to take my case, too. For me it would be convenient, so I can keep ordering all family remedies at the same time.
I have three problems
1) Eczema since childhood. I have been treated with homepathy several times, so the eczema is not that bad anymore. The worse thing is that comes to the right eyelid (under eye). There is also a round spot on my neck and eczema on the joints of the arms.
The eczema is not there all the time, because I use stereoids.
Summer and sun makes good.
2) Flatulence. It bothers me after eating and after sitting long (that means afternoon). I think I have a serious problem with my digestive system.
3) Sinusitis after catching cold. Whenever I get cold, it stays and stays and travels up to sinuses. Then I am sick for 4-6 weeks.
That happens 1-2 times a year.
Appearance: 176 cm, 66 kg, fair hair, green eyes.
Temperature: cold. Especially hands and feet are always cold.
Aggravation: I have never been worse than when I was pregnant (2000 and 2002). The eczema was killing me, I had ischias, I could not walk, I gained lots of weight, I had arrythmia, I was constipated and I hated the whole thing.
Cravings: sweets, spicy
Dislikes: I don't really like basic and warm food. I don't drink much, because I am not thirsty and I don't want to run in the toilet.
Physical:
- I get easily constipated, specially when travelling. And when constipated, then I get piles. They don't bleed though.
- I am not too good a sleeper. I wake up to every little noise. I love sleeping though.
- I see a physioteraphist several times a year. My backbone and other joints are too flexible and there is a dilemma the vertebras get stuck.
- when I get headache (not often), the worst problem is not the pain, but the vomiting feeling.
- There is one special thing in me - when I gave bith I found out I am one woman in a million: I feel no pain in the beginning, when the uterine is opening up. When I was 7 cm open, then I felt there is something different going on. The pain came when I was 8 cm open.
- I don't know what menstrual pain means. My periods are irregular.
Mental:
- I am analytical and theoretical. I am a behavioral scientist, but I cannot analyse myself...
- In every aspect I am in the middle. Which ever personality test I take, I am everything of it. I am flexible and adapt with the outside world.
- My fears are directed at my family. When I think I will loose them, I can start crying immediately. Silly, I know.
- I am very aware of the shortness of life. Like Woody Allen says, I don't live one day without thinking of death. That keeps me humble.
- I have to fight against being proud. Pride is my 'death sin'.
- Outsiders say that I am the most patient person on earth.
- My husband says I am the most stubborn person on earth.
- This sounds funny, but when I look my 8 yrs old son, I see mylself.
- I love being alone. I can be days at home without meeting anybody. If I had time, I would only read good novels and psycological books.
- I used to think I don't need anybody, but now I understand more.
I am afraid I am loaded with homeopathic remedies. I consider myself as guinea pig.
I got to know homeopathy in 1998 when I lived in India. He was treating me with Pulsatilla for 8 months. I gave it up, because it did not help and I did not understand homeopathy (It did help a lot: before my colds travelled down to my chest and I got a stye when cathing cold. Not anymore).
Years 2007 and 2008 I have tried Platina (someone suggested), Thuja (I have sometimes this feeling something is moving in the stomach) and Sepia (my headache)....and I have not found a good homeopath. That's why I am asking your advise. Would you advise me?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi Maria,
Please talk a bit more about your mental symptoms.
I am not able to zero in to a remedy as these are all 'common' symptoms. I need something odd to make the choice easier.

Hi Sameer,
This is so difficult! There is nothing 'odd' in me. Can you ask me something?
Here is something:
I think I can 'understand' more than other people. I just get moments when I 'see' clearly. I rather think this is wisdom, but maybe it is intuition. Difficult to explain...
I seek for deep conversations, small talk is not interesting.
I find it difficult to concentrate. I am fast in my movements and I get frustrated and unconcentrated when things go too slowly.

I have been thinking all evening and there is something that might be considered odd:
All my life I have had a feeling of being an outsider, different. I remember this feeling since I was five yrs old. At school I did not attain school parties. I did not want to be like others. I did not need to be one of them. Today I don't really like going to parties - if I find someone interesting, who knows a lot, I like, but otherways no.
I still don't have a need of being one in a peer or in a group.
I need time of being alone. With children I find difficult to be at present all the time. It irritates me, that there is always somebody asking questions and there is always somebody who needs me.
My energy level is not high. I like working part time so that I have energy left for something else. If I have to work 9 hrs per week I get exhausted.
Work is very important to me. I could never be a housewife only.
I hate irrationality. I can't stand if anyone asks stupid questions and don't use their own head.
Some people don't like because I question a lot. I always want to understand why so that I can accept it. It is not being critical, it is about being wiser and to understand more.
(I would like to question you, but since in your culture - I think - that is taken as critisism I don't:-)
Both my boys are in a high level of thinking and that is because of me. I question them a lot and they have learned to think.
I am very loyal.

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for replying.
I hate getting up in the mornings. I get easily irritated early in the morning. I also get tired towards the evening. The best and the most effected time of the day is around 10-12 am.
Public speaking... I used to fear it. I remember 10 yrs ago I went working as a teacher, I was so afraid I was shaking in front of the class.
I did go teaching because I knew public speaking is something I fear and I have to get over it. It took me three months to get used to it.
Today I am a lecturer at the university. I am suprised myself that the more there is people, the more drive and energy I get!
But - if I myself attain to a class as a student, I am very silent and don't speak much. It is not fear though, it is just that I like being an observer.
When I say I am somewhere in the middle - this is it. I am an observer, but I am quite good at being a 'conductor' or spokesman. You find everything in me. Well, I am 40 yrs old and you do grow up all the time.
Maria

I have tried all kind of things on myself, but never even thought of taking Lycopodium.
Will do that today.

Hi Sameer,
Nine days has passed.
Day 1: I was sneezing several times. But that was all.
Day 3: Clear and watery discharge came out of the nose a couple of times. No other symptoms.(I have been allergytested 20 yrs ago and the result was an allergy of two trees. Every year my symptoms are different and not bad at all. I hardly remember of having this allergy).
Days 2-3: constipated. Had to eat plums and figues.
Days 3-6: not constipated anymore, but had this feeling of being constipated all the time. The stomach felt tight, swollen and all these kind of unpleasant feelings.
Day 7-9: The eczema especially on my right arm got a worse; wider, redder and itchier. But the eyelid and the throat are better.
The flatulance has changed from the beginning. Before I had difficult feeling after eating and sitting. I had to run to the toilet and it was really disturbing.
Now, right from the first day after taking Lyco until today, the flatulence is not as bad or disturbing, but there is flatulence all day long.
Mentally there is not a big difference. If I did not reflect this much, I would not notice much difference. But because I do, so I was in the middle of the week restless and in a hurry. And I cannot remember when I have been smiling last time, so somewhat I am a bit tense.
What does this all tell you?

Good morning, it is the Saturday.
The skin is terrible on my arms. Not normal eczema. There are eczema both my eyelids, too.
The flatulence is less. All day long, but less.
I notice I am smiling and speaking again.
Waiting for your comments...

Skin can worsen during treatment.
Dont worry about that, as the other things have started to improve.
Please wait for another week, and report back.

Hi Sameer,
Another week has gone.
No much change since my last mail.
My skin is still terrible. It is slightly better in a way tha when I wake up in the morning it looks quite good. But right after putting basic lotion and all day long after that it gets irritated and red. It is not normal eczema, it is so uneven and odd, like big pimples, like another skin on my real skin. There is no way I could use short sleeves.
My eyelids are getting eczema, too.
I think some days ago there was even less flatulence, but now it is increasing again. Sometimes I feel my bowel moving inside the stomach, the flatulence is somewhere there. That is just a quick feeling and does not occur daily.
In addition I am in a good mood.

Ok, thanks, I will.
I have one question I have been wondering all these several months. WHY are you so careful it is only one pellet or one teaspoon?
I have been told that homeopahty works so that the effect is the same if you take one pellet or ten pellets, if you split out the pellet in seconds or you really dissolve it in the mouth.
Is this information incorrect?

When taken dry , 1 pellet is same as 10 pellets.
When dissolved in water, the amount of pellets make a difference.

Hi Sameer,
I took Lyco 200c 9 days ago.
Day 1: The flatulance was away all day, totally. After this first day it came back. Not as bad as beginning though, not at all.
The skin got worse, too.
Day 4: The skin is getting better day after day, very little at the time. The skin is better in the middle and there is red circle around.
Day 5: I noticed two itching spots in my right ankle. First I thought they are mosquito bites, even though there is no mosquitos.
Two days later they became very, very red, diameter of 1 cm, a scab in the middle, like an abscess. At day 7 they were at their worst.
Today, at day 9, they are getting better. Red still, but not raised anymore.
I don't understand what they are - can they be due to Lycopodium?
Day 7: The skin got worse on my arms. Now it is quite bad.
I don't think there is a big change in me mentally during this past week. I would like to be alone, but that is not that abnormal. Maybe I have been more serious than normally.
I am waiting for your reply what I should order next from Helios. Do we continue with Lycopodium?

Hi Maria,
I cannot say at this point as to what remedy we will need.
But right now, we must give the Lyco 200c dose 3 weeks from the time when you took the dose.

Sorry, I don't get now.. I took Lyco 200 c already. Shouldn't the next dose be higher potency, if we continue with Lyco?
Maria&boys last decade
Well, I am not yet sure about the response, as to whether it is the right remedy or not.
That is why I want to wait.

I am thinking all summer now. In three weeks we are travelling. And maybe next time I will be around - maybe in July - or maybe later, in the middle of August.
If I have to order something from Helios, I should know it after 10 days. Then I have time to receive the remedies.
What do you suggest?

Hi again,
Only four days have gone, but I want to tell you about something - in case this gives you any additional information:
I had some kind of virus: terrible burning in the stomach, burbing and much flatulence, the stomach was swollen. I know this is virus, because my husband and younger sone had it too - but they only had a little bit of burning feeling in the stomach.
Normally I do not get digestive viruses, but now I got it ten times bigger than others. Do you think this is due to Lycopodium?
There is another thing that I have been wondering about. I have feeling of a sore throat. Actually the throat is not sore, but like glands both side are sore. It is odd, I cannot describe... There is not that kind of virus going on, and only this morning I figured out this must be Lycopodium again.
In general I have been sleeping very, very deep and well lately, for two weeks already. Normally I don't sleep this deep for this long.
Also I have not been constipated. I have a feeling I am constipated, but then I find out my stomach and bowel are just working slowly.
Does this tell you at any relevant information?
Or is it so that no information is relevant until there is an ameliration going on?

Hi,
On this coming Sunday it will be three weeks I took Lyco 200c.
At the moment I feel normal. I am having some cold symptoms, but we all are. The state of mind is normal. The skin is as bad as before. The flatulence is the same as before. I have nothing to report.
I did order Lyco 1M and I am expecting it's arrival next week. Because Lycopodium has helped the flatulance.
