Att: Dr. Sameer - various problems _{Page 2 of 6}

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.

Maria

Hi,

I have nothing new to report. But since I write of all of us, I tell of myself, too...

Maria

Do you think I will go on for Lyco 1M? If - when I will do that?

Just making sure what happens during the summer if I cannot be in touch with you.

Maria

Hi Sameer,

I have been travelling for three weeks. I did not repeat Lyco 1M, because I have not had flatulence at all.

But now I need your help: I am so constipated at the moment. That is typical when I am travelling, but now my stomach is not working at all.

I also caught a cold and was blowing my nose for two weeks and it still is going on.
This is one of the things I want to be taking constitutional treatment: the colds don't pass on quickly.

But my skin is excellent. Nothing is better than sun and salty seawater.

Please advise do I take Lyco 1M or something else!

Maria

Hmmm... mentally I am normal... there is nothing to point out, nothing new or abnormal. I feel quite good, calm and of course relaxed because I am on holiday.

Ok, will do. Thanks again, Sameer.

I have been back at home for two days, and I noticed this morning that my skin is itching again...

Maria

Hi Sameer,

I took 1M four weeks ago.

3-4 days after taking the remedy I was suffering this terrible flatulace, The same terrible flatulance that keeps me running to toilet. Fortunately that lasted only for a couple of days.

5 days after the constipation was totally over and my stomach was working well.

Now this past week I have the constipation again. We were travelling this past week and that is something my stomach does not like.

Otherwise I am fine. The sun and salted sea water has always cured my skin. I have no eczema at all at the moment.

Any comments?

Maria

Hi Sameer,

My skin is fine, but otherwise I am worse. The constipation is still there. I keep eating plums.

And I have had headache since Wednesday, that is five days. I never have headache that long! The pain is mainly behind the left eye, the pain is not sharp, but rather developes a slight nausea.
I have not taken any painkillers since last night (I had to take at 4 am because I could not sleep because of that), but I don't feel ok.

I also have been monitoring my heart beat since spring. Sometimes it beats really, really fast, specially when excersising. (I am going to consult a doctor in two weeks because of that).

I also have been measuring my blood pressure during last three days. It is high: 130 and 90.

Maria

My headache is worse inside and better in the fresh air. I would rather lie down eyes closed in a room with an open window.

Effect of movement...I don't understand the question. I try to go jogging and excersising, because I want to be in shape.
The hart palpitations don't make my everyday life more difficult. Actually I have not paid attention to them at all before May. In May I went to donate blood and the nurse was very worried about them. After that I started monitoring them. I get the palpitations when jogging and when I am very, very stressed out.

I think the aggravation times is in the evening. Let's say between 8 and 11 pm.

I talk a lot and cope well with different people, even with 'difficult temperaments'. But I don't make deep relationship easily. For some reason I think I am so different than other people...It is so rare I meet a person I want to meet again.

I don't like consolation.

I always crave sweets and candy. I have an aversion to 'baby food': smashed potato or banana.

I'm afraid I am not too sympathetic to other people's pain. I tend to think thank god it is not me. But I do understand other people's pain.

Concerning my last posting and aggravation times: my headache and hart beat are at their worse in the evening. In general I don't have aggravation times.

Maria

Yes I have. Several times. Because I tend to get cold sore on lip and Nat Mur is recommended for that. So there was a time I took Nat Mur 200 c every time it occured. I don't think that helped at all. (Actually, I have not had herpes simplex after you started advising me...)

Hi Sameer,

I checked down the questions in this site and here comes the list of symptoms:

1. Headache: The pain gets in through my eyes. My headache is not really ”pain” and it’s nothing sharp. It’s more nausea and bad feeling behind the eyes and in the neck. Mostly it is on the left side of the head.
It is aggravated in a stuffy room with bright lights, and if I have to focus my sight and concentrate.
It is ameliorated if I can just lie down and keep my eyes closed. And in a fresh air.

2. Palpitations: Rapid hart beat when excersising and when stressed out. I have tried to learn jogging and I start really, really slow. Learning has been so difficult and I think it is because I get palpitations.
Normally I have no palpitation when resting. But when I am overloaded with work and stressed, I get papitations and get very, very tired without able to sleep.
I got the palpitations for the first time 9 yrs ago, when I was pregnant. Then I did not have them for many years. But now I have noticed this past year or two there are more of them.

3. Skin: At the moment my skin is good. Because of the sun. But I know it will get worse again. The eczema has lately been in my eyelids and arms. I have had eczema since I was a baby in different places. It is red and dry eczema. Sun ameliorates, winter aggravates.

4. Constipation: my stomach just works slowly. And I get hemorroids (not bleeding) when the stool is too hard and big. If I pass stool every second day, then I am very happy. When constipated, I get a terrible feeling after 4-5 days and I have to take laxative. If I don’t take laxative, the size of the stool becames too big. Color is always dark brown.
Travelling aggravates. Strong coffee and excersise puts my stomach moving faster.
I have had constipation all my life. I remember eating laxatives at the age of three/four.

5. Flatulance. Symptoms keep changing, but all kind of flatulance. I have not noticed what ameliorates them. Sitting and eating aggravates.

6.Sinusitis: Whenever I catch cold the symptoms don’t dissappear fast, but I get sinusitis.
I have had a tendency get sinusitis about five years, not more. Ten years ago the colds travelled down to my chest, but I was able to get rid of them with homeopathy. Now the colds travel up...

State of mind: Other people say I am very calm but inside I don’t feel that calm: I am effective and do many things at the same time. I have no anxious or restless emotions, but I hate waiting or slow movements. I have troubles listening, if somebody sleeps slowly and long time: I just want to hear the most essential things and summaries. Maybe I am a bit tense, because things don’t go always like I want.
I don’t really have anxities, but I do fear public speeking. I fear spiders and I fear if somebody thinks I am stupid. I would like to take the Mensa-test, but I fear if I find out my IQ is not high enough... I always evaluate and estimate everything – but try to keep up the positive attitude when doing it.
My energy level is too slow.

Sleep patterns: I need lots of sleep. I rather sleep in the morning. I wake up several times during the night, rarely I get a deep sleep. I see a lots of dreams, I enjoy dreams – I feel like I am in the movies. I have to cover my elbows with a shirt at nights. I sleep tightly under the blanket.

Sensitive: I am sensitive to cold, specially when it is wet and humid coldness. When I catch the wet coldness, there is nothing to make me warm. I can put ten blankets on me and still I feel cold for several hours. I feel the coldness is in my bones. The most sensitive part to cold are the feet.
I used to be sensitive to criticism, but years have made that easier. I want to be right and do things right.

Monthly cycle: I have a hormonal device and I don’t really have periods. Before the device my cycle was small and irregular.

Sepia I tried for my headache two-three years ago. I took 200 c and I think it helped the mild headaches, not the most strongest ones. I took Sepia 200c maybe 4-5 times in a couple of months.

I know a homeopath gave me Silicea in 1998 because I was suffering of a eye stye for years. I don't know the dosage, but I have not had a stye ever since.

Maria

Hi Sameer,

Okey... I write you long. Maybe you catch an idea also HOW I write.

You can't get a hold of me, because I am so flexible in my behavior. With different people I behave different ways: with quiet people I am also withdrawn, with outgoing people I am loud. It is not acting or faking - I just have all these features in me.

Ultimately I like to be alone and I don't really like parties or small talk. But - I cannot say how much this is what I am and how much this is selfdefense - I have been rejected before.

I am quite serious. I am not too good company to be around. My friends are serious people, too. I don't go around with social butterflies. (I can behave as one, but not too long).

When I was a kid my father told me that you must always trust on your brains, never trust your emotions. Now I know that is not true, but I believe that has mixed up my feelings and emotions. That might be the reason I myself have difficulties understanding and explaining my emotions.

I think I have a lot of aggressivity inside hidden in me. Twelwe years ago I lived in Pakistan and India for two years and that was a total shock for a western lady. I could not stand how I was treated (f.ex. in a shop they talked to my husband and not for me - even if I was the one asking the question), because I could not understand the culture of a total male power. I was so full of anger and rage during these years - I did not even know I have that much of aggressivity inside. (Or fear - in Pakistan I lived in a fear, because of the aggressive athmosphere towards foreigners).

I notice the aggressivity time to time. Yesterday someone called me of a unpaid bill, and I felt my blood pressure rising up and getting angry.
Or when my 8 yrs old (today 9 yrs) is behaving badly, I just get so mad that I loose my eyesight and I 'see black'.
But again - you can't see it, because I know how to calm myself down fast. I push the aggressivity behind the surface.

My behavior with family... I need time for my own. When the children were small I took care of them at home. That was soooo difficult time for me and I was just waiting to get back to work. I find it the most exhausting that someone is demanding something from me all the time. It was exhausting because you could not think of your own, you had to be present and alert all the time.
If I don't get time for my own I get cranky and irritated. Then I show my irritation, when I am asked stupid questions or I am asked something for the tenth time.
When I can take time of my own, then I am in a good mood and can take all the questios needed.
My son has told me I do not nag or yell as much as other moms. My husband tells me I control too much.

I don't really have big fears (well, I told you the spiders and public speaking). Of course I fear feilure at work. I keep looking for feed-back of my work and I crave for a good one. I keep waiting when I get a good one...

This is a difficult thing to explain, and it may sound stupid, but I try...:
I have constant desire to hear and understand 'deep' subjects. I read all the books and articles about human behavior and I crave to get new information and understanding.
Sometimes I 'see things' and I crave for this seeing. For ex. After living in India and Pakistan I was thinking how much I learned. At the same time I saw a crevasse in front of my eyes - a picture that showed how much I learned during these years.
Sounds nuts...

Well, I can't be too fearful or self-protected, because I write these all on internet where everyone, all the nuts can read it...:-).
