I almost forgot. When drinking alot of water duing the day as instructed, at night I am up every hour to visit the restroom. Sometimes I visit it and then immediately (within minutes) feel as if I havent been at all and return and have very very little urine that second time.

Lycopodium 200C...

First day I took it I noticed nothing specific really. My exhaustion of waking up with baby at night suddenly caught up with me and I took a nap bt that probably wasnt the Lycopodium :)

Otherwise the only thing I noticed throughout the two weeks was that I am having mid back pain which is not normal for me.

Also as a result of the previous two weeks when my heartburn was very bad the spasms in my back tore my cartilage on the left side of my sternum and I thought by now it wouldn't be hurting like this but it definitely is hurting and I'm considering wrapping something around my ribcage to keep it from popping in and out of place so it has a chnace to heal.

If I can give you an idea of what my spine looks like which causes these issues for me I would repeat what a chiropractor said to me once (not quoting as it has been too long). He said it looks as if you could pour milk on my back into the area of the dip and it would stay there as if in a little dish.

When I look at my spine in the mirror I can see it start out normal and then I see it dip inwards and disappear for a bit and then reappear as it returns to normal and continues downwards. I have actually met others with this problem and none of them have been offered solutions by their doctors except one woman was apparently told maybe a rod in the back would be necessary eventually.

What's next?

Reporting in once again...

Pain in my ribs is much much less. Felt a slight discomfort a few days ago returning once more and I can tell by the way it feels it will rip again soon but I'm trying to avoid it. Otherwise all seems the same, just tired as I have trouble unwinding enough to nap with baby even though I'm exhausted at times.

A friend said I need to mention I have a few teeth going bad for years now, that I am sensitive to medicines and that even though I do not smoke I tend to crave cigarettes whenever the air is cold out. Oh and I love freshly burnt breads (garlic bread, bagels, etc).

I did have a recollection the other day of losing control of my bladder once as a very young child when a woman screamed at me for waking her baby. I do not know if this has an effect on my present bladder situation but thought I should mention it.

Additionally, I wanted to tell you after the Pulsatilla the baby started sleeping about 3 1/2 hours at a time but now she wakes and stands straight up in bed crying about an hour after she is initially layed down. She seems to want to be held against me and I do so to comfort her until she falls back asleep. Should I repeat the Pulsatilla?

Finally I have a question. I have been reading on Cytokine storms (just finished the CDC's own report regarding there success at recreating the 1918 flu to study it if I read it correctly) and was wondering if there was a homeopathic remedy used during the 1918 flu that ceased the Cytokine storm or if you are aware of one now the homeopathics are suggesting. I understand the severe Cytokine storm is what killed the victims so quickly. Although I do keep seeing this point argued it seems very clear that is what happened. Just interested in your view.

Thanks!

please take three doses of Staphysagria 200c at a gap of 4 hours for one day (not daily, only one day). Please don't take any other remedy that day. From next day onward you should start other remedies in the pattern explained above. You should start exactly from the point you left the pattern. If the bladder condition does'nt improve within 15 days from taking staphysagria, you should take three doses of Causticum 200c at a gap of 4 hours after 15 days of taking Staphysagria. Causticum should be taken only for one day. No other remedy should be taken that day. From next day onward you should start other remedies in the pattern explained above. You should start exactly from the point you left the pattern.

Yes. You can repeat. Please give only for one day, don't give daily.

A homeopathic remedy should be selected on the basis of totality of symptoms. There are many remedies that can work for the patient suffering from flu. The remedy that matches totality of his symptoms should be given. In chikun guniya rhus tox and euptorium perf have worked well. Ars. and Influenzium have worked in many cases of swine flu. But to be on the safer side the remedy that matches totality of symptoms should be given.

I know it has been sometime since my last post but I followed through with the suggested remedies and wanted to give an update.

After I took the Staphysagyria I must say I felt calmer but my bladder was unchanged. The Causticum produced no effect at all. I have since noticed that whenever I'm gassy (which is all the time unless I eat only meat and nothing else) my bladder sends me to the restroom often. Also any amount of sugar (cane or fruit, etc) also does the same. I am not diabetic so I'm not sure for the reason for this.

I began to consciously remind myself to drink more since my skin was not getting better and that is helping. I just don't feel thirsty normally until night.

Last thing, my toddler cries at the smallest thing since being hit by another child in a play area. This has happened more than once. I'm wondering what these parents are doing to raise such children to hit another child who is just standing near them. Is there a remedy to help her release that and go back to trusting other children and playing without hesitancy?

Thank you!

Please take Equisetum 6c twice a day for a week and see whether it helps in your problem of irritable bladder.
Please give your child pulsatilla 30c thrice a day for 2 days and see how that affects in next 7-15 days.

Hi,

I'm still waiting on delivery of the Equisetum but in the meantime thought I would ask what you suggest for my toddler.

She has constant constipation. Only goes once a week and sometimes I force it with glycerin suppositories which only help a little because she seems to have only half a bowel movement even then with straining. She will say her belly hurts for days and gets to where she doesn't want to eat until she finally goes with much straining. She doesn't want to go potty for fear it will hurt and I have seen her withhold it at times.

I've tried flax and probiotics, oat bran, oatmeal, greens, avocados, squashes, whole grain foods. She wants sweets even when she wants nothing else but I restrict these to once a day except for fruit, she has never cared for fruit and chooses it only once in awhile. She doesn't drink alot unless she's really really thirsty or if I insist. I have to ask her to drink throughout the day and she prefers slightly cool water or warm rooibos tea when she does. She loves ANYTHING mint flavored.

This potty problem has been occurring since she was an infant. Always straining and crying and it comes out large in circumference as an adult's would and is often large pebbles stuck together. Color varies from light to dark and it's often seems dry inside if broken apart. The doctors suggest corn syrup or whatever and none of it ever works. Even commercial laxatives rarely work. She is healthy from what they say and has not had vaccines yet.

Don't know if this is relevant, she sneezes as the seasons change and throughout the summer and can sneeze ten times in less than a minute, her nose runs down her face which she hates. I notice the skin on her belly is taking a rough appearance the longer she goes between bowel movements. She use to go every three or four days now it's every four or five days maybe. Also she has always been a late riser for a child (8:30 or later) in the mornings if that is a consideration?

Thank you!

To save on shipping costs... Before I order the Calc Carb for the baby could you suggest a remedy for me dwelling in the past? It gets really bad at times. I re-experience the emotions all over again when I dwell. Doesn't matter what time of day it is.
 
lahtedah last decade
You may take three doses of Ignatia 200c as follows and see how that affects in next 15 days.

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

You should also have the following remedies for treatment of your daughter...
lycopodium 200 (probably you have)
sulphur 200

Once again it has been awhile... We were sick for three weeks after being exposed to a young child with a horrible gurgling cough. I can't remember the last time i took antibiotics it's been so long. Unfortunately I had to give in this time. Then was exposed to mold and left with a lung soreness bothering me.

My little one is better and pottying again. Thank you.

The ignatia worked for me, no more dwelling. I do notice I cry now at small things sad or happy though.

The equisetum I think gave me cramps? Not sure. I will try it again when I'm completely well and let you know for sure. Could have been the antibiotics.

I'm stuck with this allergy nasal drip where my upper chest constantly tickles slightly and sometimes I cough even when there is nothing there to cough out. The minute that drip hits the back of my throat I cough. I wake up each night and cough hard for an hour because the mucous has reached the middle of my chest instead of just the upper chest and go back to sleep if possible. (I've always been the type to wake up for an hour or more each night before finally going back to sleep.)

Mucous is thin and clear when it comes out of my upper chest and there is very little of it. The mucous which comes from my nose is thin but plenty of it and mostly clear in color except in the morning which then it has a little bit of yellow in it. I itch my eyes through the day until they are raw and hurtful to the touch and I sneeze ALOT first thing in the morning and a bit through the day always a few sneezes at a time. A headache sometimes at the top of my head.

Colloidal silver drops help my eyes somewhat which is very nice of course but this coughing is horrible and completely a result of the constant nasal drainage. Is there anything that can dry this drainage up?

Thank you as always!

Please take three doses of Calcarea Carb 200 as follows and see how that affects in the next few days. If there is no relief please take Nux Vomica 200c in the same way.

day 1 morning
1st dose

day 1 evening
2nd dose

day 2 morning
3rd dose

One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.

Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

The Calc Carb stopped a great deal of the throat drainage but not all of it, I still wake and cough but only for 15 minutes maybe. That fuzzy feeling in my upper chest is cut by half within minutes of taking it thankfully but it returns eventually. I sneeze a whole lot more at night though??

I tried the Nux Vomica and my lungs felt less fragile afterwards but the coughing did not stop nor the drainage or fuzzy feeling. My lungs had been feeling very fragile and tired.

Noticed today that underneath my eyes were less puffy than normal. I've been waking with puffiness under my eyes since being sick that is as large as my eyes just about. When I went for a walk today I had trouble breathing and light discomfort. Once I sat and just waited it went away but returned when I started walking again.

I do not have asthma. I do not work with chemicals although I've used essential oils in diffusers and it got strong a couple of times but I turned it off then. I was exposed to a black looking mold while sick but that's the only thing i can think of in regards to this feeling lung fragility/weakness.

Don't know if you need my emotional status, I'm very frustrated at this point and just upset, I jump from hopeful to crying to angry with being sick so long. I'm told it could simply be allergies that are severe or it could be mold in my lungs or etc etc etc. Doing a nebulizer with silver helps a little but I have to do it a few times a day.

What do you suggest next?
 
lahtedah last decade
Please take a single dose of Calcarea Carb 200.
Wait for 7 days, take Lycopodium 200 if you don't feel better after 7 days.
After 7 days of Lycopodium if you still don't feel better, take a single dose of Sulphur 200 and wait for 7 days.

So I was almost better two months ago when a child came to our home with some kind of cold and back to coughing I went. The Cal Carb 200c does a pretty good job. The Lyc works only 1/4 as well as the Cal Carb and the Sulphur makes everything horribly start over at the beginning. I ran out of Cal Carb 200c and used a 1m but have to take it every two days just like the 200c to keep the cough away. The cal carb works great for the itchy eyes and itchy nose too!

I looked up the sulphur after the poor reaction and it describes alot of stuff for me so I was surprised it didn't work. I even get the odd red patches of peeling itchy skin on my palms perodically and my lymph nodes are always slightly swollen.

My little one responds to the cal carb 200c and 1m as well but needs it every couple of days too to keep the cough away. She was better until a couple of weeks ago when a cold and eye infection came to visit our home by yet another sick child.

I'm pretty sure there is mold in my lungs since this keeps reoccurring. This junk in my chest is something that has happened in the past when I've knowingly been exposed to mold I visit an alternative doctor who uses kinesiology on me to see which mold i've been exposed to and uses a laser of some kind to help kill it and then a homeopathic mix of some sort for me but I'm no longer near him. Don't know if that's important to know that the use of a laser has helped in the past.

Although I guess it could be the essential oils I used in the diffuser that got too strong. I really have no idea, I'm grasping at straws, frustrated with being sick. As an adult I very rarely get sick with lung stuff except in my early childhood when I was always sick with pneumonia but this year has been tough for some reason. Would it be okay to take one of those blended commercial rememdies for molds you find at the store? What do you suggest?

Also, I retried the equisetum for the bladder thing and it does seem to give me cramps but doesn't help control my bladder when I cough too hard or sneeze suddenly.

Thanks.

New symptom in the last few weeks is persistent vaginal yeast infections which I don't normally tend to get.

Please take three doses of Calcarea Carb 200 at a gap of 12 hours and report back after 15 days.

It has been 15 days since taking the Cal Carb and my cough is much, much less. The cough only gets bad when I do not sleep angled up enough at night (which is almost sitting up) and then I just cough in the mornings for a short time. So much better than it was before. Thank you!

The allergies are pretty frustrating with sneezing/itchy nose and it feels like the inner lining of my nose hurts and seems thick or maybe rough like lizard skin.

During the last two weeks there is a pain in my upper right side and when I have a bowel movement lessens and the pain moves down to the halfway point between my rib cage and hip and extends into my back. Eventually the pain moves closer to the right side of my belly button. I'm extremely gassy with a stong scent to the gas. If I'm not gassy at all (which is extremely rare) the pain is almost entirely non-existent.

Also, I'm waking between 2:03am and 2:38am EVERY night during the last two weeks and cannot fall back asleep for over an hour. The muscles in my left shoulder are hard and hurt all the way up my neck, i'm guessing from no rest. I'm exhausted and cannot stand any irritation as my patience is limited at this point because i'm so tired.

Last thing is that I constantly crave cigarettes lately but haven't smoked in years. It's getting hard to pass a gas station without going in to buy a pack!

Thanks again.

kadwa last decade
I had the Lyco 200c and Nux 200c on hand and was able to start immediately with these remedies.

The Lyco made a lot of the gas and pain go away but some remained and my cough came back.

I started the Nux today and the gas and pain came back and now it's sharp and up at my right ribcage again and sharp by the right of my belly button extending across my right side. A good deal of pain near the inside scar tissue where I had a surgery several years ago and the doctor was very rough with me.

Should I continue the Nux or try something else? Would it be alright to take the Calcarea Carbonica again to make the cough go away?

Also, these little firm bits of stuff are coming from the back/side of my throat and I spit them out when they dislodge themselves and they are light and dark yellowish. The size of a BB gun pellet probably.

Thanks for your help!

You may go back to Calc Carb 200 and then Lycopodium 200.

Silicea 200 may also help you and that may be taken after Calc Carb 200 and Lycopodium 200 if needed.
 
kadwa last decade
I sort of dread taking the Lyco since it makes my cough bad again but will absolutely do so if it works in the long run. I'm waiting on delivery of the Lyco and the Silicea and wanted to ask how much and in what order should I take these remedies?

My stomach and upper intestine is really hurting right now. I took some sodium bicarbonate an hour before taking my stomach medication last night and I my stomach wasn't horrible this morning but did get bad as the day progressed. In my very early 20's I was told I had candida in my stomach and then in my late 20's I developed gastritis. Are those two things connected?

I'm asking because I have a friend who is suggesting I should take beryllium saying I fit the weather characteristics, body characteristics, eat large amounts of bacon and have so much inflammation in my stomach and intestines from Candida. I've never heard of this remedy and I'm not taking it unless you say to do so as I do not want to cancel anything out or make anything worse. I can't find it on this website and it isn't listed in any books I've looked in. Since I can't find anything on this remedy I do not know if I fit the characteristics she is speaking of.

Last thing, my oldest daughter (toddler) has a red spotty rash on her cheeks almost all of the time and constipation, swollen belly and craves milk and cheese and dry uncooked pasta and doesn't stay hydrated unless I hound her to drink water all day. Her cough is back lately and so are her allergies with sneezing and gunky eyes. the doctor says give her prune juice and allergy medicine. She won't drink the prune juice and the allergy meds make her groggy. She does like carrot juice. What can I do for her?

Thanks for your insight!
