I took one dose of Rhus this evening and felt a little better, so I'll try tomorrow on a full day and report back. For now, I'll fill in as best I can.

This came on last Friday. Earlier in the week I had been on the road (I am a journalist and travel a lot), although it was a 2 hour drive, not a flight. Trade shows are always awful. The food is never what you could call a decent meal, and on the first morning, I had gotten very little sleep and skipped breakfast, and instead relied on coffee to keep me going. By noon I felt awful and went back to my hotel to crash. Next day was a day with no breakfast either.

I had figured I screwed up my blood sugar something fierce from the non-eating and running ragged at a trade show, because the feeling was almost diabetic. Tired, craving sweets, dry mouth. But the light headedness was there too.

I'd best describe it as the feeling after having a drink. Not drunk or impaired yet, but my head is floating a little. It's felt strongest when I'm walking and after eating, but I also feel it when seated too.

I've also noticed a bit of nausea for the last few days, but realized it's an old symptom I'd thought cured. For the longest time I always had a sensation of something burning crawling up my gullet to my mouth, which hit my gag reflex. That finally stopped after a remedy, Argentum Nitricum 1m.

As for the emotional level, ha. That's where it's been worst. I was feeling really depressed over my lack of forward motion in my life, my constant contradictions and unwillingness to do the things I felt had to be done or should be done (move, change career, etc). I was upset with myself for spending far too much time playing EverQuest (if you don't know, it will take too long to explain) and not working. So I was pretty upset, mostly with myself, for being at roughly the same place in my life as I was 10 years ago, only with a few more material possessions.

I've also been critical of my weight gain and slacking off at exercise, but every time I try to work out some excuse comes up not to do it, or I don't feel up to it. If it wasn't for the light headedness and bad taste in my mouth, I'd still say I was in rough shape, but all of it mental.

My last remedy was 2 months ago, Argentum Nitricum 10m. I had taken Ferrum Metallicum 6c about a month ago after a bad case of a shoulder injury. My rhomboid and deltoid muscles were badly inflamed, mostly from too much time at the computer and sitting in odd positions. I'd been using massage therapy and chiropractic and read that Ferrum could help, since it lists rheumatism of the shoulder in Boerckie. Surprisingly, it did.

If you need any more information, please ask. I hope this helps you.
