Dear Deb,
If you're getting an aggravation, you can keep going, not only to a 2nd cup, but to a 3rd, 4th, even 5th cup, and you can lower the succussions to as low as 2, and take as infrequently as once a week if that's what it takes.
The other possibility is that it's the wrong remedy, and I notice that Plumbum also has abdominal pains that go to all parts of the body and extend to the feet. In fact, it's the only one listed for "Extending to feet"--which is interesting. Plumbum is also one of only three remedies in the rubric, "Abdomen, pain, stretching amel." (dios., mez., plb.)
So, well, at least it's good to know that I'm not the only one who thought of Dios.
Also, if we want to go by the mental symptoms, you could try Causticum--anger over the injustice of it all, is a sentiment of Causticum (probably Staphysagria too).
Good luck,
Snoopy
