More thoughts on the cataracts, specifically:

1. You should be seen by allopathic eye doctors. Advise that you obtain at least three opinions. These days there are much wonders in that arena, BUT also some very irresponsible money-grubbing eye doctors. You want the very best clinic, if you decide to pursue any procedures. If you feel you cannot finance at least three evaluations by three different doctors, then borrow the money to do it. It is very important.

2. Homeopathy for cataracts. Upon further consideration, it seems that it might be best to consider your cataracts as "an acute layer", of a moderately pressing nature, and deal with it accordingly. Based on a number of your important modalities and your mental disposition, a suggestion of Calcarea fluorica could be made. (Note: I will mention whenever Sepia is a match to you, too, for purposes of your continued constitutional evaluations/studies.) A unique aspect you have written here in this forum about your character is: "better by warm" (warm drinks, warm clothing, warm air....) AND "better by continued motion" (dancing, active, quick of motion, able to and does do much housework and other work involving a good deal of motion, etc...). This is quite a remarkable combination, eliminating many many remedies, but is indeed covered by Calc flour. (Sepia also covers those two modalities...) Also, are the traits "concerned about finances" (Sepia, also) (this trait of yours exhibits itself mostly importantly when you speak of your daughter and explain the limits of your relationship with her...also, you commented on your disapproval of a friend's financial behavior...also, about your frugality with clothing...) (Sepia also covers the entire nature of and your outlook on your relationship with close family), "concerned for health" (your entire written health history, posted in another thread, speaks to this, and supports this...Sepia also), and "need of guidance with work" (the manner in which you presented your situation, and have saught assistance here, and rather need drection in sorting through your evaluation all support this trait...Here I will note that Sepia generally resents interference, and rarely asks for input, but if she does, her ego makes her resentful towards those who have given the assistance or suggestions. You match this as well in your seeming determination to receive assistance only according to what you feel is right here, rather than, for example, the opposite or contrast which would be a Pulsatilla-like fashion, where Puls very easily follows instructions given by others. This of course may reflect your Calc flour [all Calcareas, really] need for greater instruction, but there is in your posts a very Sepia ego displayed, too...)..., and, also, "worse upon first motion, but better by continued motion" (note here than this is DIFFERENT from Rhus tox, which you said you'd either tried or considered...Rhus tox is indeed worse from first starting to move, then better on a bit of continued motion, but then is worse again, until he or she must rest, and the whole thing starts all over again...Sepia is better from vigorous exercise), and "worse from cold or a draft (Sepia, also)".... Calc flour is also known PARTICULARLY for its use with cataracts in situations where THERE IS A MATCH WITH THE PATIENT'S OVERALL PICTURE, and that seems to be the situation here.

Thus, do take a look at Calc flour in your materia medicas, as well as in the materia medicas available as links from this website. Keep studying Sepia.

You may now ask about the dose and potency. Well, given your age, and the fact you seem to be of a sensitive nature, you must proceed with caution. The best would probably be the LM potencies, starting with LM1. Mix the medicinal solution (see instructions in the above post) using only water. Best to use bottled water. To make things easier, mix the medicinal solution in a disposable pint bottle you can purchase of the brand of water you prefer. Then use disposable cups for each dose. It would be best if you could take these suggestions to your local homeopath and ask him or her to monitor you, as well as suggest the dosing. Some ppl would suggest taking the dose from the medicinal solution daily for two or three weeks. You may have to remix a fresh med soln every few days. You must decided what you will do. I will continue to suggest that anyone who participates on this forum try to at least take careful thoughtful recommendations from here to a local homeopath for VALIDATION and dose/potency prescription and MONITORING.

It would be civil of you if you could post here and say if you've read this thread.

Let everyone know how you are doing.
