To Jiggy- one thing you asked in one of your replies was how many doses of , i believe, LM pontecies should you have to take to get positive response from lycopodium-IF it is truly your simillimum-ONE dose and then wait. What other things you have said leads me to believe it is NOT! if your "Dr." is giving you repeated dose of this, find another one who knows at least as much about hhomeopathy as i do, and i'm only a lay student. Good Luck, Fredric
