Depression is gone!
Sensitivity to sound gone.
Sadness 95% better.
Loneliness is 90% better.
Concentration is 75% better.
Sleep is 70% better.
Tiredness is 50% better.
Procrastination is 50% better.
Irritability is 50% better.
Agitation is 50% better.
Anxiety is 50% better.
Becoming upset when I don't feel heard is 50% better.
Constipation is 25% better.
Acne is the same.
Overall I feel like I am doing MUCH better than before (thank you thank you thank you!!) but have been increasingly irritated and anxious over the past few days (only in certain situations, like toward my son's lack of boundaries). I don't in general feel this way anywhere else, but I do feel a slight increasing and vague sense of anxiety creeping in. Skin is rebelling a bit, but kind of the same as before I started.

Whoa, that is even better than I had realised.
Well, we are on the right track no doubt in my mind at all.
Your son as an aggravating factor, might need to be dealt with directly, rather than indirectly through repeating your remedy.
Can you do the same for him, so I can assess what to do next with him.

I am super ridiculously stressed out because we have ten dollars and I can't find more work and barely finish the work I have when my son is always in my face. Just today I was trying to make dentist appts for us, and I know they will try to do x-rays and fluoride and all that crap on him which I don't want and it will be a big confrontation but he is 4 and has never been to the dentist, I have avoided it for these reasons and the fact that he would have freaked out and it would have been a disaster. The closest dentist that is covered is an hour away and I don't even know if I can afford the gas to get there and back. My life is falling apart and there is nothing I can do about it. I can't stop yelling at my kid. And crying all day. My life is a disaster and my husband is a selfish pig to not take better care of us. Its embarassing.
I feel really mad that I have been in this situation for a couple years now, the whole time waiting for it to get better, it's not. I am so tired of this.

I am not sure that the remedy can do much to fix the problems in your day-to-day life, but if you feel you are not coping very well, then another dose of your remedy might help.
However, it sounds to me perfectly understandable that you are stressed - $10 to your name? That is a pretty serious situation, and doesn't sound like it is dependent on your inner state (so related to the remedy).
It sounds to me like you need more practical help right now rather than homoeopathic.
Why have you let this go on though, and why is it upsetting you now when it has existed like this for years?

It hasn't just upset me now, I have been upset for a long time. Just trying to cope. Trying to do the best I can. We don't have hardly any bills and I haven't been shopping for myself in a long time so I don't waste money. I didn't want to get divorced. I took work from home because I couldn't afford to pay for childcare if I was working outside the home, and it would have been hard with my son. The company I do most of the work for has hit hard times as well and can't afford to give me as much as I have needed lately. I haven't wanted to get a divorce. I didn't want that for my son. Things are hard for a lot of people here. We have paychecks coming later in the month they just wont be enough and its hard to live like this. I'm not sure what other options I have at this juncture. I have been looking for fulltime work.
I don't think homeopathy can help with that, but at least it helped me not be suicidal about my life.

I think I will take another dose today...I used one dilution cup last time to lesson the aggravation, but still had some. Should I use two this time or just do it the same way as last time? Thanks!
allicando last decade
Yes move that teapsoon into a second cup, with 1/4 of water. Stir and take a teaspoon out of that into the mouth.

So I dosed on the 16th, and now I am coming down with a sore scratchy throat (which I know is just because everyone else in the house already had it). Is there anything I can do about it - any acute remedy I can take to shorten the length of this that is compatible with nat carb?
Also I used to have REALLY bad eyesight...like, so bad I was legally blind. I had LASIK surgery about 6-7 years ago but my eyes started to change again a little bit when I was pregnant. I wore the same glasses after that for a few years and am still wearing those, but they got worse, then slightly better when I first started homeopathy a while ago, now (especially my right eye) is getting really bad in vision. My eyes are extremely dry to and have always been.

Only take a remedy for an acute if it is serious enough. Generally speaking most people can get through true acutes on their own, and taking a new remedy runs the risk of causing aggravations or side effects.
For an acute to need a new remedy, your whole state must change - new modalities, new triggers, new sensations and pains.
Often taking the constitutional remedy will create susceptibility to colds and flus, as it moves upward from the chronic state. The acute, if it just looks like your chronic state, then would not need a new remedy but either should be left alone (part of the curative process) or a repeat of the nat-carb would help.

I am seriously MISERABLE with this cold...can't stop coughing to sleep and just plain worn out. It's in the throat and moving down...
My family is supposed to come in tonight and are not going to if I am feeling bad because they are going to see newborn twins the day after Thanksgiving and don't want to pass anything to them. I finally gave up and took an over the counter cough thing and it did not help. Is there anything I can take that will put me out of my misery?? This timing is bad...

I need symptoms to prescribe. Always the same with any homoeopathic prescription.
Describe each symptom, what it feels like painwise, what makes it better, what makes it worse, what triggers it, what occurs at the same time or just before/after it.

Ok, I will try - I was hoping it would get better on its own since I have to order all my remedies online and that can take some time, but it is clear that it is not, so here goes.
I am coughing in spasms, not a lot of mucus, but it it clear. There is a tickle or irritation in my throat. I have to blow my nose usually when I cough. Sometimes I cough so much that I start to gag. It is worse in the evening and during the night. I cannot attempt to sleep until after 1:00am and then I am up again around 4:00 (now) hacking again. I am up for a few hours and then a few hours of sleep if I am lucky. Any sort of movement, even turning over in bed, makes this worse. I cough so much that my eyes water.
Drinking seems to help a slight bit, but nothing. else really does. This started with a sore throat, then I lost my voice for a day or two, then its been going on for a little over a week. Earlier in the day I noticed a pain in the right side of my chest but I don't feel it now.

The Remedy Finder on this site says Nat Mur is the most closely compatible with my symptoms. I have this at home, in 200c. Please advise, thanks!
allicando last decade
You still have a cold? it is 6-7 days later - a cold would normally have resolved by now.
Nat-mur is too similar to Nat-carb I would be very wary of using it.
Use Bryonia instead, do you have it?

♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Yeah, I've had this cold for about 11 days now. I have Bryonia as part of a combination thing...it also has aconitum nap and sanguinarium (sp). They are each only 6c though.

I'm not sick anymore, thankfully it all cleared up all of the sudden. I have been kind of agitated lately though. I am not sure if I should redose or if it is mainly because I am so far behind on sleep, having only slept 2-4 hours a night for 11 days. I'm sure that has something to do with it. I am tired and have a headache and just generally impatient with my son's antics and wanting to play with me all day and not giving me space to get anything done or take a break. It makes me feel guilty having to say I can't play with him sometimes...I have no problem doing it, but then I feel guilty, which makes me more annoyed as he continues to insist. I feel pressured and lack of space or enough time and this makes me frustrated. Not sure what I should do. I don't want to just dose if this is only from sleep deprivation, but I don't know how I would tell. I'm not depressed and not particularly anxious, just irritated by demands on my time and noise stressors when I feel exhausted.

I'm not really wanting company, although I am not totally averse to it, I just feel like spending lots of time alone, and wasting tons of time on my computer (which I did a lot when I was sick), and which is kind of how I escape when I am exhausted, overwhelmed, wanting to unwind. I hate it though, because there are other things I need to do, and I end up feeling worse for wasting time procrastinating and being alone and lazy.
