Life after Birth Control Page 2 of 5

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Okay, I've been noticing some things. What's being affected is my mind. This is crazy to try to explain in writing but I'll try!!
So I have always had somewhat racing/fleeting thoughts, I forget what I just thought about a second ago, I forget the last sentence I just read, the last words in a conversation...etc...my brain usually just doesn't hold on to it, like it's moving over information too fast to retain it. BUT over the last few days I feel like my mind is slowing down. Not like dulling, but like I am actually processing information and absorbing it. It's the weirdest thing; I feel like I'm learning.
I took the 200C on Thursday night, and on Friday I was adamant all day that this was doing nothing. But by the evening I started realizing all these things and ways that I was thinking differently over.
I feel like my mind is opening up to realize the differences that I wouldn't have had time in my own head to even notice before. My reaction to stressful stimulus is not so frantic. My sister and I got into a heated text conversation yesterday, and I was able somehow to diffuse the escalating tension and react in a much more logical way.
I almost feel like thoughts and feelings are more readily being filtered through my conscience. That sounds odd, but that seems to be the cause for a lot of the things I do; I just frantically react instead of sorting things out logically.
I have a long way to go, but I think I've touched on something HUGE, and when I started to realize it I got so very excited.
Is there any dosing that could make it happen more, or faster or something??? :-D

No you cannot make it go faster. The changes must occur at their own pace. When there is a stalling, or a reversal of direction, then the remedy can be repeated. Repeating too fast can ruin any good result you may be getting.

Just be patient and continue to observe. It is very interesting what is happening, but we must let it unfold on its own now and see what it looks like.

You know i ve been reading this forum casually more and more often and I must say I'm impressed. And kind of excited; not just for myself; but for the lady and I think primarily for the future of mankind and medicine.

It just reinforces what I ve believed for some time: that the immensity of the challenges faced by mankind is matched and in fact exceeded only by the greatness of possibilities. The great dawn is at hand! After such a long and bloody and anguished night..

This is a eureka moment. Isn't it? Congrats to both of you and great love

Hi Transcend,

You are not eavesdropping, this is a public
forum, it is meant for comments and discussion.

This is the intention the owner of the forum
had when he set it up. He never wanted it
to be a "clinic".

It is only a clinic bc people volunteer their
time for requests for help.

The rules of the forum allow any member to
comment on any thread as long as they
are not being rude, or attacking another
member, trying to advertise their business
or a product for free.

You can also suggest anything you feel will
help a person- it does not have to be homeopathic.

Many good outcomes have come about for people
seeking help on here - help that cured people,
even when they had the funds to use "homeopaths"
in their area and were giving up hope with
their treatments ( well intended treatments but
not solving the problem.)

Thank you Transcend,
For the encouragement and prayers :)
I am definitely very glad to have found Homeopathy as an alternative to Alopathic Medicine (which got me into this health mess to begin with!!)
And I am glad we know about it and thankful for the brilliant men who discovered it, for sure!! However I'm also somewhat thankful that it's not so popular because then it would be controlled and manipulated by insurance companies and medical doctors etc. lol!!
So thank you to kind and well studied homeopaths who visit this forum and for your dedication to true healing, and not chemical bandaids !! :)

Evocationer,
I am trying to be patient!! Lol
How long would you recommend, in respect of the 200C dose, should I give myself before next update?
Also, I came across some informAtion over the weekend about a condition called Reactive Attachment Disorder. I wonder if you've heard of it?
I did some reading on it and it seems to explain a ton of those negative behaviors I expressed earlier. I know I've had a lot of emotional trauma in my childhood. That's why I was so excited to notice those subtle differences in my thought patterns, it gives me hope for healing. And knowing what it is and why it's happening helps, too.

My normal process on the forum is to assess after 1 week. Depending on what is happening then, we may wait longer, repeat the remedy, or change the potency. I try not to change the remedy too quickly though.

My process in clinic is different - I never schedule follow ups until at least 2 weeks has passed, and it might be as much as a month depending on the urgency of the situation.

A single dose of a well-selected medicine is capable of acting for weeks or even months after it is taken. Taking more while this is happening can disrupt the healing flow.

Alright, well I haven't noticed anything new since my epiphany on last Friday, and that seemed to be the peak. I did notice something interesting in the physical aspect though. Yesterday and the day before when I (remembered to take) my multivitamin, it turned my urine neon green, rather than the usual dark orange/yellow that multivitamins have for my whole life.
My husband has been telling me that he was noticing changes in my mood/attitude/reactions etc ever since I took the 30C, and he thinks it was doing a lot, and that I just didn't realize it until after I took the 200C. Maybe it took me that long for it to actually click in my own mind that the changes were happening, or maybe the 200C helped with that..?? I don't know, but I'm wondering if the 30C would be good for me to keep taking? What do you think?
 
rom109 9 years ago
This is always the problem with treating on a forum like this, only by looking at written reports by the patient. In clinic I can often notice changes based on my own observation, but that is completely missing here. I might also have noticed a difference in body language, use of words, pace of speech, issues discussed etc.

For the moment, we must wait. There is an old adage in homoeopathy - 'haste ruins good cases'.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Yes, I can see how that would be quite a challenge.
I rely heavily on my husband, who see's me day in/day out and knows my behaviors well, to let me know what he see's changes that I don't always notice. And in turn, that helps me let you know, as well.

The last update I gave was Friday, that day and the day before I was completely exhausted and any mental clarity I had was gone; back to brain fog and lethargy. I was cranky/impatient/exhausted. Basically the way I've been for the last year, now.
I had a gut feeling that it was time to redose, so I did. I took another 30C, and within a half an hour I went from an lifeless blob to energetic, motivated, coherent, and talkative. I found myself reminiscing about my childhood, and puting thoughts together and realizing certain things about myself I've never been able to figure out.
I slept fantastically that night, and my stomach started to feel much better.(not as bloated and icky feeling)
Next day I had great motivated, positive energy, cheerful and chipper. My mind was working well, coherent, thinking well thought out, I even had a great new idea for dinner that night. I started drinking coffee this day as well. Yumm.
Next day I woke up with a bad whole body tension (which hasn't happened in like 6-8 months, before that it was monthly with my cycle on Birth Control). Still in a good mood with ok energy, and mental clarity in tact. I did have to take some ibuprofen though. Bleck. I also noticed a possible twinge of blood in cervical mucous.
That night I slept very lightly and restless.
Next day I felt alright, still felt cheerful and that my brain was absorbing instead of blocking. Alert. Slept good again!!
Next day really good energy. Had a definite occurrence of light pink spotting/discharge at lunch time. None after that. Sustained energy through day. Did not crash in the evening like i usually do.
I was cheerful but I ended up getting upset at my husband over a bunch of past small irritations and let them explode onto him in a long emotional text message. This is something I've only really done when I'm being SUPER crazy emotional/hormonal, and haven't done since the worst of my birth control withdrawals.

Today I feel pretty good still. Went to bed late, so I'm pretty tired, but I still feel positive/motivated/cheerful...but at the same time I'm impatient with...dumb people...lol.
I feel that same lethargic/heavy feeling coming back. I won't be surprised if it is fully on tomorrow.
 
rom109 9 years ago
Progress is good, old symptoms returning, changes being made at the deepest levels, a general feeling of well-being - these are all very good signs.

Hold off on another dose until you are sure you have relapsed.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Uhm.....welll i'd say the remedy got my hormones straightened out.... I just found out I'm pregnant. About 4-5 weeks.
 
rom109 9 years ago
Once health comes back, fertility usually comes with it.

Is this good news for you both?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Lol! No kidding!
Yes it is good. Scary, unexpected, nerve racking!! Lol but good :)

I am concerned about first trimester miscarriage as this is common to the women in my family. Is constitutional treatment a good preventative route, or is there something else you'd recommend?
Thanks for your help
 
rom109 9 years ago
Something important to understand about constitutional treatment is that your constitution is not a single remedy - it is more like a potential state that can take the form of various remedies depending on what you are trying to deal with (or survive). The remedy is chosen on the current state, the historical state, the medical history and/or the family history (symptoms in the narrow OR the broad sense).

So the answer is yes, this is always the best approach for ANY kind of treatment, BUT it doesn't mean we can rest on our laurels in terms of having 'found THE remedy'. The reality is that the remedy you need will change over time, and during pregnancy this is almost a definite.

In fact in my experience treating pregnant women in clinic, the baby's state will become visible in you, so a new remedy will most likely be needed. It appears to me that when a woman is creating the life inside her, she is creating a new constitutional pattern for her child, which is made from both herself, the father, and the environment. Symptoms the child can express out of this state will be expressed by the mother. Although it is hard to confirm, I believe that treating the mother during this time can help strengthen the child's constitution.

Even apart from this, pregnancy itself is often a situation which goes outside of your normal experience, so the symptoms YOU might produce out of your potential state could be quite different anyway. This is most likely to happen in the first few months before the baby's vitality is powerful enough to overcome your own.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Okay- wow, that is really cool about the developing constitution....and a huge responsibility!!! Lol
I guess my question is, when should we re-evaluate? Is there any specific sign or symptom to look out for to say, "okay it's time to look at this again."
And also, I appreciate you saying "child/baby" instead of "fetus" . 😉
 
rom109 9 years ago
Haha I interact with women quite often who are creating life - the idea of calling a child a 'fetus' never occurs to me! One thing homoeopathy teaches us is how dynamic and energetic life is, at all stages.

We are probably at a point where we can reassess right now. Give me an idea of what is not improving, what still has a way to go, and what is already gone.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Alright,
Well so far, most sygnificant improvement has been in my mood/attitude, it has been consistently upbeat and positive. Also my sleep has greatly improved, in quality, and I don't hardly wake up in the middle of the night anymore. But rarely when I do, and it's the same timeframe as before.
Something crazy that happened: I've had a calcified build up of plaque on the back of my two bottom front teeth since I can remember; the other day when I was flossing, it just fell right off!!
Energy levels have greatly improved, but I still feel a heavy, lethargic, "slow motion" feeling during the day, in varying degrees. If somehow I have a day of just good light energy, by the end of the working day I crash and usually have to nap when I get home.
I am still having acne breakouts and over the last week or two I feel like my face has gotten a bit more oily.
I'm constipated...and that has actually seemed to get ever so slightly worse since taking the Lac-E, and much worse in the last week.
Okay so this is a funky one: I have this issue for the last 5 years, I call it "my gaggy thing", my throat feels tight, on the outside and inside, and dry, and I gag. I have to have a flavored beverage or gum or candy nearby to sip on to stop it. --The last few weeks my throat has been extremely dry feeling in the back, and that constricted feeling is just constant but not quite enough to make me gag. Also I have a gross taste/texture in my mouth always, kind of similar to "morning breath".
I've been craving sweets (chocolate icecream!!!) bad...
This last week I've had an unusual anxiety, I'm just ancy inside and somewhat shaky feeling. Semi irritable, and I've had a bit of the mood swings...like from super positive to unmotivated cranky...and then back.
I get this weird "stuck" feeling, where I feel hindered like time is moving too quickly to be able to do all the things I want, but at the same time I am unable to move to anything. Don't know if that makes sense. But it makes me feel frustrated and anxious and cranky.
The fungal infection that was on my lip and knuckle is trying to come back on my lip. Still completely gone on my knuckle though.
Currently I'm having cramps...think that's pretty normal at this stage...not pleasantly though!!! They are like lightning pangs and dull/burning at the same time.

rom109 9 years ago
Hmmm...overall that is a great result - mental, emotional and general state is much better, with specific locations showing an aggravation. This is excellent Direction of Cure.

I wonder if you are relapsing slightly though with the moods? Or if a new state is already starting to appear (a new state applies to needing a new remedy, it might acutally have signposts of an older state for you).

When was the last dose of Lac-e?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
My last dose was Sunday, the 8th.
If I had to guess I would say the mood thing is something I've felt in the past, quite a few years ago at least....not sure if it's an aggravation or a new state though.
Edit: I have been taking the 200C, btw.
Also, I know it goes against the wait-and-watch protocol, but I have been taking a dose about every 3-4 days, as that is when I begin to feel a relapse in progress. Past that 4 day mark, my mood seems to dwindle, along with my energy. I wonder if it has anything to do with all the harsh chemicals I work with? I've read some things you've said about "anti doting", but I'm wondering if things like harsh chemicals that can negatively affect your vital force can take a toll on the remedies action based on what your body is having to focus its healing on? I could be wrong...just a thought.

rom109 9 years ago
Stop at once! You could create a problem for your child - please do not take treatment into your own hands. A remedy proving or serious aggravation at this stage could put your pregnancy at risk.

Those symptoms may be a result of overdosing.

If there is a relapse after 3-4 days something is seriously wrong. Repeating the remedy so quickly is NOT the correct way to deal with it.

Wait, watch, and if the 'relapse' does not resolve itself the case needs to be reassessed. There will be a normal back and forth for a while with symptoms. If you continue dosing every time something comes up, then you are not allowing the case to progress beyond the initial effect. You want the secondary effect to begin which is where the vital force starts to reorder things itself and becomes independent of the remedy.

Repeating a remedy over and over in a short space of time could result in suppression, palliation, side effects. If a remedy is not able to maintain a stable positive effect, we need to know that as soon as possible so that we can avoid creating new problems.

So please stop taking the remedy. You must have had enough by now, and if it isn't holding we need to examine why that is.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Okay, I understand.
It's not only myself I am experimenting with now, and I will not be taking any further risks now that I know I am growing a new life. I won't take any more unless otherwise directed.
However, for the sake of full disclosure, I have been doing this since day one, and have (seemingly) been achieving positive progress. But I won't take any more, and will wait for direction on next step. It's too important now to mess around..... And I appreciate your help.
 
rom109 9 years ago
Even as safe as our medicines are, I always go carefully at the beginning of a pregnancy.

Let's see how the next 2 weeks goes. It will be interesting to see how things settle.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
So here's an update since things are starting to radically change...By my calculations today I am 5weeks 2days.
My mental state is quickly declining since about three days ago it's gone from happy and okay to this.....very similar to what it was after discontinuing birth control. I am depressed, irrational, easily angered, crying a lot....I take things that are said in the worst possible way. Paranoid, and I feel very stressed about work and people needing to know, or if they know they might fire me or vice-versa.
I'm very tired and woozy feeling and I have very little appetite in the morning, but gradually increases by the end of the day. Still constipated, gassy...stools are unusual...hard small balls, very difficult to pass.
Cold water makes my stomach fee better. Oh, also hot and cold flashes.
 
rom109 9 years ago
Alright we're a few days shy of two weeks, but honestly I am certain that I am relapsing back into my original state after I got off the pill. It makes sense because with pregnancy hormones are all over the place, as they were with birth control withdrawals.
I am so very tired, and I feel heavy, like gravity is increasing on me. (Same as always) I'm emotionally sensitive, irrational, my husband notices that I contradict myself in the same sentence sometimes when I am trying to speak reasonably. (From my perspective, I am doubting myself).
I am paranoid about what people are thinking of me and of what negative actions they might do against me (same as before). I'm lost in my own world of doubts and self-preservation.
I get easily worked up into anger.
So far no morning sickness but I do have a constant nausea which is more like everything seems unappealing and is difficult to choke down, but I feel better once the food gets past my throat lol.
I am worried that if I revert too far back, my imbalanced hormones might become like they were and possibly cause a miscarriage.

Just to let you know what I have on hand:
Lac -e 30C, 200C, 1M, 10M
Have not taken anything since the last time I told you I did.
