A. Snoring Problem: I have a bad snoring problem (very loud, the whole house can hear it). I start snoring immediately when I go to sleep. Earlier, I used to stop snoring after a little while when I have gone to sleep but now looks like I am snoring almost the whole night. I do have allergies since childhood. At present I have some white thick sticky discharge from my nose, more in the mornings than in the evenings. I have been usually taking aconite, pulsatilla, or Kali Bichromicum for nasal discharge. I have not been ever able to say that I got rid of the discharge for a certain period. The problem occurs 12 months a year & gets worse during seasonal allergy season.
Headache Problem: My headache also goes back to childhood say at the age of 15yrs. Throbbing/spasmodic pain in the back of the neck. Pian used to travel frequently to the side of the head. Typical migraine symtoms. Over the period this got better (with homeopathic medicines). Now I only have throbbing pains in the back of my neck. I got an MRI done of the neck & head. No problem was found in the head but I do have a herniated disk & bulge on C4-5 & bulge on C2-3 on the neck. My neck muscles are usually tight & forms a knot in the middle of the neck (in the back) which is more observed/felt during headache or neck pain. I am not sure whether the neck pain is caused by the herniated disk or the migraine type problem. I don't know of any Homeopathic medicine by which I can control the pain when it occurs. Neck pain is usually periodic, every two weeks, & starts in the middle of the night or when I wake up in the morning with a headache (ie neck pain). I have to take Advil(Ibuprofen) or some stronger medicines to control it & takes my whole day to recover from the pain. Also, I do have a lot of gas & sometimes lots of acidity in my stomach which wakes me up in the middle of the night.
In general, I am healthy, about 40yrs old. I do not smoke & eat a well balanced nourishing diet.
Thanks for all your help to solve my snoring & headche problems. Are the two problems related to each other?
Do you need additional information for help, please let me know? Also, if I perform neck stretching exercises at the onset of symtoms it helps in the pain. No vision or body reflex problems, normal stress at work. Exercise occasionally.
Thanks

How about food and drink, likes and dislikes?
And any reactions to certain foods?
Is your sleep OK?
Any fears as a child?
Are you OK with heights?
How are you at the coast?

Member posted 28 November 2000 10:12 PM

I generally like sweet stuff compared to salty etc. I try to avoid milk products because they give me gas in the stomach. But I do not have any reactions to any particular type of food. As mentioned earlier, for some reason canned coke (sugar & caffeine) helps me during headaches.
No fears as a child.
I am definitely not comfortable with heights. I am scared and really nervous with heights.
I think I feel better in open fresh air which may relate to the coast question. The weather here is very hot & humid, but I have noticed that if I go to places which are less humid, I start feeling better w.r.t. allergies.
My sleep is OK, I generally fall asleep within minutes. I feel that I may not be getting that peacefull sleep due to snoring as I am tired/fatigued sometimes in the morning. But if I take 8 hrs of sleep for few days I feel better energy level wise. I usually do not get up in the middle of the night for water or restroom visits, sleep peacefully.

Yes, I love garlic especially raw, but only eat cooked in vegetables.
No, I cannot cry in public, I will hold my feelings to myself. In general, I am a shy person, though short tempered but easy going type.
If using a public toilet, yes I can get my business done even if other people are present. I can go urination even if other people are present but more than that I will only go reluctantly. I like privacy very much & am shy person.
Let me add more general info on myself. I am married with kids, no problem in married life. I am 5'-6", 170lbs (little over weight with little belly). I do not smoke & drink rarely in very small quantities. My job is mostly sitting, not much activity.
With reagrds to my sinuses, I do not have a breathing problem, & no taste or smelling problem. I started having premature greying of hair at the age of about 20yrs.
Please let me know if you need additional info to help my medical case. Thanks

GM / Anna: I would like to add few things/info on myself which I just recalled.
I have a cut type appearance about 1.5 inches long in the middle of my tongue. I don't know what this means. It is just an appearance, looks like the tongue is cut in the middle but it is not cut & does not bother.
The area between the fingers & sides of fingers on my foot frequently becomes itchy & thick flakes of skin get peeled off during itching & sometimes also bleed. Also, sometimes colorless blisters type eruptions occur at the bottom of my foot which feel quite itchy. If I burst them, colorless fluid comes out & the itch goes away. This has been going on, on & off for few years. I have not taken any homeopathic medicine for it, just applied cortizone or some kind of medicated powder for relief.
Your reply is awaited. Thanks

Natrium mur on m one dose, once only, then wait one month, carefull with salt, Sepia, will probably follow. And do not use cortisone on the eruptions,or anything buth olive oil,careful with use of soap, they , will probably get worse a while, before they start to return. keep us updated.

Thanks GM, I will take today the recommended medicine. Just in case I get a bad neck pain before the month is over, what should I do to control it or with Natrum Mur 1M, I should not get any neck pain.
The reason I was asking was if I have to take any allopathic medicine like Ibuprofen to control the pain, will it antidote the Nat Mur? I believe it will but wanted to confirm with you.
Thanks for your help

Today, I again feel lot of gas & my right shoulder is having pain (like the ones you get in flu but only the shoulder; this is new). Should I take anything else for gas & acidity..? Acidity is felt only in the night & an additional pillow to raise the head up helps. I am not constipated.

GM: I had taken one dose of Natrum Mur 1M two days ago. I woke up with a HEADACHE today. I did not have throbbing pain in the neck (GOOD NEWS) but my whole head was hurting SLIGHTLY when I woke up. After few hours (since waking up), I feel the pain is more on the right side of the head & some on the back of the neck & IT'S GETTING STRONGER. I am feeling some heaviness in my chest and nauseatic (but very little).
Nasal discharge is very minimal at present, only little bit of waterish discharge with some thick white discharge (mostly in the morning). Usually, my nasal discharge is reduced when I am having headache & will increase the next day when the headache is over. I also don't feel much gas today as I was feeling for the last few days. Usually, gas & bloated stomach is an indication to me that headache is coming, onset of the symtoms. I have some puffiness on my face which is typical when I have pain.
Please advise/help what should I do (FOR THE PAIN..)? I do not want to take allopathic medicines to control the pain. I am a firm believer of homepathy since childhood.
Thanks for your help

GM: That day when I had the headache (see my last posting) I did not have to take any pain killers to control the pain. I drank some brewed coffee & felt better in the pain & nausea after a little while. This is usually not enough from past experience. I have not had any headache since then. I usually get it periodically every two weeks or so.
The nasal discharge is about same to litle better, only in the morning. No nasal discharge during the day. My frontal sinuses (below eyes on cheeks) are still very swollen, no difference & no difference in snoring problem yet. Mind is somewhat dull type..depressing mood..without any reason. Don't feel like doing anything/any work etc. Feverish feeling but no fever. Drank can of coke & felt better but same after a few hours.
I do have constantly too much gas in my stomach. Lot of passing gas also but again feel bloated in the stomach. GAS IS A BIG PROBLEM CURRENTLY, CAN'T EVEN SIT COMFORTABLY DUE TO BLOATED STOMACH. Makes me dull & lethargic too.
This was an update, let me know if I need to do anything additional.

I took yesterday night Natrum Phos30C, one dose as I needed something badly for the gas & acidity I was feeling in my stomach. Though I was supposed to avoid it as per GM but it was still better to take Homeopathic medicine than something else which might antidote the Natrum Mur 1M taken earlier. Gas is little better but still a problem.
I have'nt had any headache since though sometimes I feel heaviness in the head (frontal & sides).
I still have nasal discharge in the morning when I wake up. It is mostly colorless but sticky & on thicker side. I think it is acidic as it makes the nostrils raw/sore type feeling.
Please advise.

You have antidoted it, and also got sideeffects, your to wait one week now, and then retake nm, one m, but this time, dissolve one pill in one glass of water, stir, and then take one spoon of it.
If you repeat taking remedies when told not to.then find a other to help you. A bit of gas, is not valid enough to use a remedie. Its a other thing if severe pains. then its allowed.

GM - thanks for the advise.
I wanted to clarify the repeat dosage to be taken. The Nat Mur 1M I have says 3 to 6 pellets 4 times a day or as needed on the dosage. Should I put one pellet in glass of water as instructed by you or should I put 3 pellets in the glass. Did you mean 1pill as 1 pellet or is 1pill equal to one dose in the glass of water. I will only take one spoon of water as instructed.
Also, it was not a bit of gas, it was too much..very very bad..& smelly majority of the time. I do get smelly gas once in a while & this has been going on since childhood when I had continuous bad smelly gas problem. But this time after a long time it was continuous problem & too much..unbearable... I do not want to mix remedies as I do want to get better.

GM: I took the Natrum Mur as per your suggestion, one dose once only. I did follow your instruction. It is you who has not read properly my earlier reply...
So the gas is not because of Natrum Mur excess dosage. Also, the gas is not due to any food or drinks I have eaten. I have been eating the normal diet which I normally do & does not consist of anything which causes gas. It is a 24hr gas problem. I believe it is because of all that nasal discharge going in my stomach. I am also having a headache because of that & feeling dizzy.

GM Update & Questions/Clarifications for you:
A. Update:
I had to take Advil (Ibuprofen) & some herbal home made remedies for stomach to control the neck pains. This should have antidoted the Natrum Mur. My stomach is still not feeling light, might take a day or two to settle down. My left knee is feeling weak because of this bad pain I had yesterday.
B: I have Natrum Mur 30C available, do you want me to take that instead of Nat Mur 12C for antidote. Also, I thought Ars. Alb which I am supposed to take the next day, itself antidotes Nat. Mur.
Could you please explain this antidote stuff and reason for prescribing Ars. Alb because I felt that my symptons don't match with Ars from what I have checked in Materia Medica. If you still want me to take Ars, I have Ars30C available to start with & will take about a week to obtain Ars Alb 200C. Should I start with Ars Alb 30C in the meantime?
Please clarify.. Thanks

NM 30, is far to high, better eat some strong salted food. Ars a fits better than NM, i seem to have overlooked something in the picture at the first glance on it.
And its ok, you can start on 30. It works a week, but use no herbs, or tobacco, and buy a 100 ml bottle with screw cap, from the chemist, sterile. Also get some spirit, or get the chemist to make a solution 12% of alch for you, the bottle is to be filled 2/3 by that solution, and also, buy ars a, in one LM.
It may be of need if its to difficult to controll your case with 200.

no, only one dose once, of 30 next is 200, and the solution is 12%alchahol, water, and use a 100 ml bottle, put on pill 200 in it.
Buy also LM one, and make a solution.
Heres the metode, print it out.
use a 100 ml bottle, fill it 2/3 with a alcahol soluton 12%, dissolve one pill LM in
it, then, do this, hit the botlle against a book, or something, 10 times, this you do every time, before you
take any of it, then take one teaspoon, into a glass of water, stir good, then take one teaspoon, as
medication, keep it in the mouth a minute or so, swallow.
Throw the sol in the glass, put glass and spoon in the washer.
Next day you repeat this. continue untill you feel a hard aggravation, then stop.
If getting a small agg, continue till a hard shows, and if amel, continue till a agg shows, or you have used up
the bottle, if need be well have to fill up that bottle again with a alc solution and continue.

At present, I have no gas, I feel some more energy in me. There is hardly any nasal discharge. I did had to clear my throat with some mucous (with a little yellow tinge) in the morning, but this may be reducing also.

GM: Additional symptoms
The mucous which I had been hawking out in the morning is becoming thick yellowish green (more on the green side). I feel it is coming out from the throat (trachea) than from the lungs. I am having mild cough but its dry. The throat (or region connecting the neck & chest) feels sore/inflammed a little.
I am also having 99deg. F temperature. I don't want this to become an infection. My forehead/head feels heavy. Please advise.
This has happened to me in the past but not recently. Is it a confirmation of remedy or do I need something along so that it does not develop into a full infection? I am still on Ars Alb 30C & Calc Phos 3X & waiting for the 200C.
Thanks

I have temporarily stopped taking Calc Phos 3X, & the symptoms seem to be retreating w.r.t. greenish mucous discharge from the throat & the fever. I still have the cough alongwith stretching pain in the throat on coughing. The coughing is more frequent but the stretching pain on coughing may be reduced. If I drink something warm, it temporarily helps in the cough. No fever now. The cough is almost all day but more in the mornings. The nasal discharge from the nose has increased and is sticky, white to colorless discharge.
Neck may be feeling better too, can't say for sure as too early to say for sure.
I am not sure if I should continue with Calc Phos 3X OR wait & just take Calc Phos 200C when it arrives with Ars Alb 200C

I am still having the problem mentioned earlier of hawking greenish mucous from the throat, more in the morning. I had stopped taking Cal Phos & symptoms seemed to start getting better but it seems that this problem is not going away & will need something for it. I am real low on energy & I feel based on past experience that if I don't take something soon, I will end up with a course of antibiotics.
Kali Bi may be good to take but it does not work well after Calc Phos & also antidotes Ars Alb. Should I take a dose of Pulsatilla ? I have not yet checked the compatibility related issues on Puls.

The acute cases which had temporarily interrupted the case are over.
Apart from the headache(right side of head) and back of neck pain problem which occurs frequently, I currently have some nasal discharge. This is a chronic problem as mentioned earlier in my thread. The nasal discharge is thick, white to colorless. I have to blow/clear my nose about 2 to 3 times a day.
One thing I would like to add is that I have no thirst. I drink fluids/water when I remember that I am supposed to drink but NO THIRST.
Please also refer to my other thread where I had mentioned that I have a white spot on one of my fingers on right hand. It has neither increased/spread nor decreased.
The skin eruptions which had occured to you went away on their own after I had discontinued the remedy. Did not have to take the higher potency.
I have started Ars Alb 30C today. I also have in my possession Ars Alb 200C & Calc Phos 200C.
Will wait further instructions as to the medication to be started.
My right side headache comes about once a month & last had it on Jan. 10th. My neck back side pain usually occurs after two weeks & had it last time on Jan 21st. So have some time to get some medication kicked in to cover the pain aggravations.
Thanks for all your help.

I took Ars Alb 200C on Jan 25th. Immediately, I felt a difference in the nasal discharge. It reduced to watery to thick, mostly colorless. I also started feeling very dull in the brain, tired feeling, did not feel like doing anything. My stomach felt very bloated & tightness feeling especially on the sides of the abdomen.
The tired feeling & stomach tightness feeling reduced after two days.
on saturday, Jan. 27, I was outside in the open for few hours. The weather had changed from cold/rainy to warm. I had a severe allergy reaction. I don't know if I came across something in the air which I was allergic too..I had profuse nasal discharge FROM THE RIGHT NOSTRIL (ONLY). Lots of sneezing, itchiness/inflammation type feeling in the right nostril. The nasal discharge was watery to little thick but only from the right nostril. I went inside & washed which helped to control.
Currently, I am having watery to little thick mostly colorless nasal discharge. It is better but still lots of blowing & sneezing. Still have itchiness in the right nostril. My stomach/abdomen is bloated again. Lots of passing of gas.
My knees & legs are very tired, especially the lower half of the legs. I HAVE A VERY DULL/TIRED FEELING IN THE HEAD. Even if I am sitting doing nothing I feel tired. My patience level is very low. If somebody bothers me or if I get irritated, I get bothered too much & feel lot of stress/pressure in my chest.
One old symptom has appeared. A year or so ago, I used to feel pain in the area where the jaw joint is, close to the ears. The pain used to be very strong if I tried to eat anything. I had to press towards inside with fingers if I wanted to eat anything. I have started having this pain again, don't know if it is recurring old symptoms or has anything to do with the increased nasal discharge/ allergy I have noticed recently. The pain jaw joint pain is only on the right side. Year ago when I had the pain, by applying moist heat packs for few days, the problem went away. I have not yet applied any heat packs to control the pain in the jaw joint region.
Thanks

Seem like its working, you may need to go up to one m, or change to LM one and dilute and repat a dose every day.

Should I go ahead and order 1M or LM potency of Ars Alb. I can get LM in pellets only.
Let me know when you want me to take Cal Phos 200C for neck pain/headache.
One observation as of yesterday. The pain on my jaw joint/ear region reduced after blowing my nose. Came back after a little while. Does this mean I have fluids in my ears or tubes which hurts/pain while chewing on foods...My snoring is very very loud. Makes me now tired sleepy feeling as if I need more sleep now. Taking about 7 hours of sleep.
Update Jan. 30th Evening:
The nasal discharge is white to colorless but very sticky. Have to blow hard to clear the nose. Some hawking of white mucus from the throat (once or twice in a day).
I also again have started having smelly gas. Some tightness on the abdomen sides is reduced but stomach is bloated.
The neck is getting tired, muscles getting stiff. Lately have been working hard, long hours..Don't want neck pain to start.
One positive thing that I have started feeling hungry..usually this was not the case.
Thanks
Rajan

As i told you before, no mixing of remedies, if you continue to disobey my prescriptions, then find a other to help you!
What your to do now, is to get lm of ars.
here is the metode for using it.
You do this, get a 100 ml bottle, fill that 2/3 with a solution of water/vodka app 12%, dissolve one pill LM in it.
When to use it, you hit it app 12 times against a book, ( if very sensitive to the remedy use lesser 5 or so), then you take a tablespoon of that, in to a half glass of water, stir vigourously, then take one spoon as medication, pour out the rest of the glass, nex day repeat this procedure, always using a fresh glass and spoon.
You can modifie, by using a teaspoon instead, and more water in the glass, in order to make it fit you, cause aggravations is to be avoided.
If a hard agg, try modifiying it , then retake of it, if not better, stop wait four days try again, if again a hard agg, then stop completely, it has done its job. if only a weak agg, try to modifie, retake, continue till a agg shows again, then your done. The remedie cant do anymore.

The back of my neck has started hurting, onset of the symptoms. The neck muscles feel very tight. This normally leads to a very strong throbbing/spasmodic pain if not addressed quickly. NEED TO CONTROL PAIN.
My stomach is bloated. Nasal discharge in minimal during neck pain time & comes back again after the pain is over.
Thanks

I have two parts of my homeopathic treatment; one acute & one chronic. I do understand that I should not mix remedies & I have not. The problem is that during the chronic treatment when I have headache attacks these need to be addressed. I cannot be in severe pain & just sit tight & do nothing. I do write to you about the onset of the symtoms but you do not reply. If these acutes/aggravations are not addressed till the case stabilizes, it will all the time be interfered by allopathic medicines due to the severity of the problem. If you want me not to mix remedies, then you need to help me completely. If you want to help me then please help me properly/completely.
Thanks for your time.

WAIT, 48 HOUERS IF YOU CAN, if not, go higher in potence, if you use intercurrents, as you do to controll, or othermedicaments, you supress, and you will never get cured.

The pain became very strong & I was forced to take Tylenol 1000mg. The pain from the back of my head had moved to the right side of my head. I still have mild pain on the right side of my head. The pain at the right jaw joint mentioned earlier is still there & hurts badly on chewing any food. Moist heat applications have not helped much.
Nasal discharge is better. More of watery type, lots of sneezing. Stomach is still bloated.
Thanks

I don't have the LM potency & can take quite some time to get the special order. I was thinking to do the same as with 200C potency, treating like LM. I will make the solution with 200C pill, same as LM pill.
Should this repeated doses during the day as suggested above by you help to control the pain too, back of the neck & right side of the head, please make me understand the process.
Thanks

use 200, when you dilute a potences, and sucuss it, you change it upwards sligthly, this you do till you find a level in it who dont give agg, and as you go up you antidote the earlier dose.

I am not a homeopath but I believe that these are not aggravations. This is my regular headache/neck pain periodical problem. The nasal discharge is because of the allergies I have & this is 12 months a year, seven days a week problem, more so during allergy season. Also, this is a hereditary problem.
My headache/neck pain has two sides also. I believe the right sided headache is more of a migraine type problem. Do you think I have a faulty liver? This was a problem as a child as per some of the alternative medicine doctors. I would like your opinion on it. The spasms/throbbing pain is also associated with it. I am not totally sure if the herniated disc in the cervical region is the real cause of the spasmodic pain in the back of the neck. It may be adding to make the things worse. Also, the allergies (nasal discharge etc.) contributes to my headache problem. It's been observed that whenever I take allopathic or homeopathic medicine & I start to feel better w.r.t. nasal discharge, starts drying up, it results in bad headache.
The gas problem is ancient also which also points towards faulty liver.
Currently, I have not re-started any medication. My nasal discharge is really profuse in the early morning. The rest of the day, lots of sticky, white to clear discharge. The base of my nose (along the right side) & sinus area below right eye is hurting. My legs hurt & I have a really fatigued feeling. Will start taking muti-vitamins for few days. The jaw joint area still hurts despite heat & cold packs though better. Gets temporarily relieved after blowing nose. I am also having some post nasal drip.
As I have mentioned before I used to get bad spasmodic pain at the back of my neck /headaches at the age of 15yrs. A homeopath in India cured me with one month's treatment. Unfortunately, I do not know what he gave me. I still remember that during the course of that treatment he told me I will get pain once during treatment but not again, & that's exactly what happened.
I have summarized my case again & need to reevaluate. The key isssue is to be able to control the pain when it occurs & eventually get rid of it.
Looking forward for your explanation/understanding of the root problem & further advise.
Thanks for your time.

Go up to one m, one dose.
