I have never had mono or whooping cough. I had the chicken pox when I was 12. I had a severe 2nd degree burn on my chin from hot oil. My grandparents have died from either cancer or heartfailure. My brother has sever ulcerative colitis and rhum. arthritis. They try to treat one and it flares the other one up. He's in pretty bad shape but I still haven't convinced him to see a homeopath.
I have taken Nat Mur. LM 1-6 over the years and have taken 6c and 30c. Sometimes it works like magic other times no reaction. The best reaction I ever had was from Folliculinum 1M but it was very short lived and has never worked for me again. Sepia sometimes helped also.
I also have a nervous habit of chewing on my lip or the inside of my cheek. If I'm thinking about something or nervous sometimes I'll bite it till it bleeds. Yuk!

GM - Do you think the short living action of remedies is an indication for a bowel nosode?

Yes, a remedy like Dys-co could help.
Other remedies could be Baryta-carb, Lac caninum or Aethusa.

I'm sorry. What is Dys-co??
I have been severely constipated for days now, my abdomen very swollen and feeling bruised. It almost felt like I could feel rocks moving along inside my intestines. I finally took some Milk of Magnesia last night and after a few hours had a few B.M.'s and my abdomen felt so much better. Today the swelling has gone down some, still a little tender though.

Dys. Co. is a bowel nosode. It can be given when well indicated remedies fail to work. You only take it once as it is long acting. I think you will probably only be able to get it from a homeopath.

The remedy is acidum nitricum, use one dose 200, once.

GM - what about the camphora and Silica you prescribed earlier?

What about it?? read the remedies relation, and please note that the patient has given us new info, that gives a change of picture.

I just wanted to add a few symptoms.
In the morning I wake and my arms hurt. They feel bruised like I slept on them all night and they fell asleep. I do not feel rested and have a hard time getting out of bed. I walk downstairs to let the dog out and my heart is pounding very badly and I feel shaky. I cannot think straight right away. I walk the dog and my heart is still pounding and I feel short of breath, almost as if I had asthma. This is worse in the humid weather. After a while I begin to feel better. The fresh air usually helps me and after I have my tea. My face is usually bloated, around my eyes is very puffy and my eyes are very red in the outer-not the inner-corners. The puffiness in my face and eyes seems to get better as the day progresses. Some days my face seems rougher and older and drier and paler and others it is not.
Another symptom that I've noticed is sometimes while relaxing I notice that I am not really relaxed. My muscles in jaw and extremities are tensed and I have to mentally relaxe them, then a few minutes later I realize they are tense again.
I don't know if there is a connection but the way I feel in the mornings is exactly the way I used to feel when I was pregnant.
I did try Nitric Acid once 30c and developed a little flat kind of wart on my chest and it went away after a few days.
Thanks so much for all your time and help I appreciate everything you are doing for me.

Last night I got a headache that felt like my tempels were being squeezed. It hurt so bad. My eyesight got blurry also. My temples were actually sore when I touched them. Today I feel better, my eyes still can't focus as usual and I feel constipated again. I get the urges to go but only a little comes out.
