Hello,

I'm just inching my way into working with LM potencies and would appreciate some advice from my more experienced and learned colleagues

An older lady came with stomach pains, heartburn, headaches and backaches. The stomach pains are such that she can barely eat anything any more that has the slightest bit of fat in it.

Pulsatilla came up in the rep, and fits her personality, she needs a lot of reassurance. I gave an initial dose of a 12C in water, and she felt as if her blood circulation had increased for a while. Since she seems hypersensitive, I figured it would be a good case for LM potencies. After a couple of weeks on LM1 now, she feels generally more energetic, her back is better, stomach a little better, other symptoms weather sensitive... But now she tells me each time she takes the remedy (1 teaspoon of the medical solution in half a glass of water, stirring once), she feels some tightness in her chest for an hour or so, and then it goes away. It is not an old symptom.

Now, this being a new symptom, I would have to conclude that she is producing a remedy symptom (Puls is in grade 2 under chest, constriction), wouldn't I? And that there is a danger of suppression. However, on the other hand, it's not that local symptoms disappear and her energy goes down. On the contrary, she seems more energetic in general...

I'd appreciate any guidance or comment

Kind regards,
Karin
