Hi Tomi,
I can assure you that my homeopath has taken my complete case, boy has she! From the beginning three times. Hours and hours and more hours. To me she seems a bit stumped and frustrated. Currently I think that she's annoyed with me, but we'll get over that.
As far as my mentals go...depression is perhaps my biggest problem, but also (even during the times when I am not depressed) lack of energy, guilt and anger.
Perhaps I didn't describe the positive mental response from the Merc. Viv. well. Without it, I regularly have my own voice in my head basically telling me my shortcomings ( either in a nagging way, telling me I'm wasting time, being impatient, not doing a good enough job, etc. or in a sneaky way having me make lists of all the things I'm going to do to make myself better). On the three "cheerleader" days that I mentioned, none of that was going on. I was much more gentle with myself, the way I am with other people who need loving encouragement to get a job done. Mind you these are not auditory hallucinations. These are just the "tapes" that I allow to run in my head. Do you understand?
It has now been 11 days since I took my last dose of a remedy and I have improvement only in my sore knee (which was a very recent physical complaint---just started in the beginning of January). All of my other symptoms remain unchanged.
