In doing a quick review of the old posts, it seems the promise was to assist you as you worked out your case, not to do the evaluation. Since you have been studying and applying homeopathy for many years, this seems the most reasonable and appropriate course of action. Here are the current suggestions:

1. reread and understand that writing of Kent, How to use the repertory, where he essentially explains very clearly and amazingly briefly how to analyze a case. You must begin to try and understand that you need to separate the most important features of your case from the rest. Also, you MUST strive to write out "who you are" in your own words; do NOT use words from the materia medica to describe yourself. Doing these two things will assist you in focusing properly. Finding the homeopathic simillimum requires this disciplined focus.

2. After you have truly comprehended what Kent is saying (feel free to ask questions along the way), then you must do the hard time-consuming work of going back through all the posts you have made in regard to your case (see your post entitled "lesser writings" and others, by doing a search using your name here), and organizing everything ACCORDING TO THE SCHEME KENT GIVES. That means, for example, that you must sift out the "mentals" and list them, then do the modalities of the mentals...also, be very hard on yourself when you list out your loves and hates (these are NOT merely likes and dislikes)...and so on and so on, all the time following the outline Kent gives in that essay How to use the repertory. Wait until everything else is done before you list any of your physicals, understood? The way you have previously posted is really quite disorganized. You simply canNOT determine your simillimum by presenting information in this fashion. You really must work hard at organizing and prioritizing the information BEFORE you or anyone can draw answers.

3. There is already some idea of what your simillimum may be. Again, after doing all the above, spend some time re-reading Lycopodium and Sepia. Try to grasp what is unique about these remedies. You have discounted Sepia, and this is a big surprise!! Sepia is certainly heard over and over again in your various posts. You must respect this and follow through on it. Lyc is heard, too, and has, by your accounts, already given you some good service. Thus, give Sepia and Lyc a lot of attention, for now (until a different path MIGHT...repeat MIGHT... arise).

Next (when you find the time!), read Natrum muriaticum and Sulphur. Understand how these two differ from Lyc and Sep. (These are all the remedy readings suggested for now. Limit yourself to these four ....UNTIL you can describe/differentiate each with much ease!!)

4. You keep wondering about Coffea. What to say about this....???? It seems you are rather trying to match yourself to the remedies. This is wrong. You must try to fit the remedies to you. Perhaps coffea plays a role for you, but this cannot be said yet. If you continue to find yourself attracted to this remedy, study its profile in as many materia medicas and other reference sources as possible, write an outline of it, and then see what you think. Why not????

In the information that you have already provided, the answer does indeed exist!!!! But the info is so mixed up, and it is best and most appropriate for you to do the organizing. You are determined to find your simillimum, and this endeavor is most commendable. Look for guidance here when you need it. As soon as you have organized and prioritized your data, post it here. Try to have fun with it, even though it can be very frustrating. Alright??
