David and Hans,
I am so glad you both responded here... you gave the explanations I expected and needed clarification on.. I do have a question based not so much on what is homeopathic (I do recognize ibuprophen is not a homeopathic choice), but what is the lesser of evils when this kind of help is requested...my feeling at the time of my posting was that ibuprophen to palliate until Chris could respond was less of an imposition on the case than suggesting alternate remedies...
Hans, my understanding when reading this situation was that Ars LM1 was the first prescription...Caffea was prescribed to antidote its agg/proving(?) effects which did give relief but a second dose of Caffea was taken which if I followed the sequence of symptoms correctly was not needed and then she became much worse...this is why I felt she was aggravating on the Caffea (and it read true in Materia Medica)...
If the sequence I related is correct, is my understanding correct?
Thankyou both......... Denise
