HI Doctorleea,

When I went to my second homeopath she gave me one dose I think and will have to check it was 1M 3 pellets unde my tongue. I notice my nose tingle and my pylops got a little smaller but that was all and then a few days later the pylops seemed to not get any smaller and I din't notice anything eles. I never did go back to her because she never called me back to answer any of my questions and after my second visite that was the last time I saw here. I took it once again on my own if I can remember at the same potency about two weeks later and felt my nose tingle again and that seemd to be it. I never went up in potency.I have to check on the potency I have it at home.

As for your questions I first took Sepia for my period. After the first month my period was amazingly better. Only three days long as opposed to 7 days. Very low blood flow, no bloating, very little cramps etc. The second month it reverted back and I had cramps, bloating, hot flashes, diarrhea/constipation, headaches, etc. He told me to wait another month because sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. The third month was the same. I remember complaining of hot flashes, and bloating and diarrhea/constipation. He then put me on Biochemical Phosphates. That helped my diarrhea and constipation and I felt more regular. Then on my next visit I told him about my food allergies which he probably should have known at the beginning but he didn't ask me to tell him everything and originally I only went to him for my period not really knowing that he should know everything up front. The Nat Mur worked right away I was on that for about two months. All in all I felt better and emotionally I felt less depressed and less tired. The Sepia and Nat Mur I took in 30C potency 3 pellets once a day. The last remedy he gave me was Kali Mur I think that was for my cramps but it didn't work that well. He then told me to take it twice a day but I didn't notice a difference. At that point I got a major cold and was coughing straight for three months and he didn't know what to give me. I had to take antibiotics and stuff and that is when I stopped going to him. I was wondering why my immune system wasn't strong enough to fight it off. I remembering feeling so healthy at first and when everyone was getting sick, I wasn't. I attributed that to being on homeopathy. But what confused me was here I am taking a remedy everyday and then something popped up (my cough) and I didn't know what to do. Stay on the remedy and take something for the cough, or say on the remedy and go to my doctor. That is when I left him because he couldn't help me anymore.

As for the Thuja, I only notice my polyps getting smaller. The brown spots didn't fade. I can't say the Thuja did anything for the brown spots. I think that was at 1M potency and I took it twice the same potency.

I then went back to the Sepia and Nat Mur I think it is posted up on top if I can remember LM1, but only felt aggravations on both of them and had to stop. Then I was on Pusitilla and felt the best I ever felt. The sky seemed so blue and I felt so emotionally well balanced and everything was so clear and crisp. I remember sitting in my tiny apartment and looking at the wall and not feeling closterphobic. I felt ok and actually happy. I think it helped me emotionally and helped my hot flashes and cramps.

Dear Danielle,

I've been waiting for Chris, and can;t imagine where she's disappeared. I would think that a dose of Thuja 200 for the moment would be OK, not 1M.

I wonder if Chris has anything to say.

Warm regards,
doctorleela

Ps: Got the picture Christine!

Hi Danielle and Drleela,
Yup, Christine is here.
The choice is obviously yours Danielle to follow Drleelas prescription if you wish. For myself, I need to take further things into consideration, for the long haul. Your case presents as multi-layered, and multi-miasmatic. We have already seen good polychrest remedies have only limited effects before a miasmatic block occurs. If you have more patience, I'd ask you to complete a timeline of 'life events' dating back from the present. The 'life events' may be happy or sad, they may include the start or end of relationships, and most importantly if you could chronicle when any physical complaints started or emotional setbacks occured and what the circumstances were in your life at those times. I realize you've put in a lot of work already but it important to have it in some sort of chronological order.

Hi Chris that will take a little time and honestly not sure if I can say what physical complaints came after any of the events just from what I can remember emotional stuff. Although I'm sure my menstrual cycle being bad comes from emotional stuff as a child. Well I will try my best to get that information to you. As for the Thuja I think it is a good remedy for a lot of the things I suffer from. After reading up on it I saw the Polyps, vaneral warts(I had that) brown spots on my face, constipation/diarrhea, well I will wait a few days before I take anything because I would like to make sure the silica is fully out of my body and I need a few days rest from all remedies so my body can settle down. I am still coughing but very little and still feel fluid in my throat but it is tolerable.

Thanks for all your help!

I guess I will keep all my questions in one thread. Well the silica I took still seems to be in me and I noticed I feel very hot and feel that I didn't feel this way before I took the Silica. Today is the first day I feel better but it gave me symptoms that have taken more than a few days to go away. I did not want to start taking another remedy unitl I felt completely better and I still feel the remedy in me. I tried drinking coffee and I have a camphor mask at home amd I used that hoping it would stop the remedy and today is the first day I feel a little better. But my energy level felt low and my whole body ached and I felt like I had the flue with a stomach bug. I also felt very hot and would sweat in the morning more than normal. Well today I feel better and just hope the remedy is leaving me and didn't change things for the worse. Could that happen?

Danielle,

Difficult to give you an answer to all that. But it would be worth while to wait a bit and let the Silica effect wear out.

Don't be in a hurry though. Some steam inshalations could help you out with the cough for the time being.

warm regards,
doctorleela

Thanks Doctorleea for your response. I just wish I felt like I did after I took the pusitilla. I just feel a little stiff and not my self after having taken the remedy and the cough is less of a bother to me right now. I am not coughing all day just here and there. But I remember my homeopath saying to me if your overall energy level changes that is a problem. My homeopath didn't understand why the silica wasn't working and asked me if I was sure it wasn't working and I said it didn't do anything the second time but make me sick. Then wondering if I was sick because of something I ate and it wasn't the remedy I took it again one more time. I now know for sure it is the remedie that made me sick and I guess I have to wait. I also know in the future I have to listen to my first instincts because I knew all along all I had was some pasta and I eat that all the time. Is there a way to stop a remedy I heard camphor will antidote Silica? I know I should probably wait but I just don't feel my self. My homeopath and me are done for now I stopped seeing him. We talked on the phone and he did say he felt he wanted to help me with my cough because he didn't want me to still be coughing but I said I will wait a while and see how I feel in a week or two. I guess I will just wait as you say, but I do notice I just don't feel myself.

Danielle

Don't worry Danielle, all this will pass. Distract yourself and stop thinking about it.

Even when you start the Thuja, don't expect anything dramatic. If it happens, good, but each remedy has its response, and the correct remedy in the correct potency will have a lasting response.

Avoid comparing remedy reactions. In India, 90% of the time, we do not tell the patient the remedy they are on. I do, but most don't. It creats a sort of "Thought Barrier"!!

So just relax and let things happen as they have to. Do your daily work and we'll see to the rest.

Warm regards,
doctorleela

Chirs, I answered your questionare here


Danielle,
Could you answer the following questions, it would help to round out the picture?

At what age did you start taking the contraceptive pill, and have you taken it constantly since?

I started taking the pill when I was around 16 years old. I took it for a few months and it did not agree with me. Back then though they did not have what they have now but I decided I didn't like it and never went back on it.

What was going on in your life when you contracted genital warts, and how did that make you feel?


I was in college in Connecticut and my boyfriend was in Ohio. I missed him a lot and needed to know I was still attractive and when this cute guy at my college was interested in me I cheated on my boyfriend and slept with this guy. I think he knew he had Vaneral Warts because I was not the only girl he infected and then he left school. I ended up telling my boyfriend that I cheated on him and that it was hard having a relationship while he was so far away and he forgave me. A few months later is when I found out I had vaneral Warts and I was devastated. I remember feeling so dirty and alone. My parents had to pay for the surgery I had and my dad told everyone I had Aids just because he was so disappointed with me and he really had no idea what vaneral warts were. TO him it was all the same. I remember bleeding a lot and calling my male doctor at the time and he told me to deal with it that I would be fine. All I remember is feeling very alone and scared. After the surgery I was very depressed, probably the most
depressed I have ever been. I was in a lot of pain and again felt very alone and how could this happen to me. Me and my boyfriend at that time broke up and it just wasn't a good time. For a whole year and a half I decided I didn't want to be with anyone and I truly didn't feel right at all and it was a constant reminder that I felt dirty. I guess my body was not my temple back then.

Do your food allergies get worse or better when:
you eat alone,
in company,
when you're agitated ?

I never noticed when they are worse or better I just notice during the day I don't seem to get them. IT always happens at night when I go out to dinner or if I make food at home it happens sometimes. Wine and pasta sometimes does it to me and Mexican food does to me but usually hot foods do it to me and salads and sandwiches don't bother me so much. Wine alone doesn't bother me but food and wine can sometimes bother me.

Do your sneezing episodes get worse when:
you are in an anxious state,
and irritated state,
or feel under any sort of pressure?
Who (not what) makes you sneeze the most?

I never notice anything related to my sneezing other than when I clean my apartment sometimes the dust makes me sneeze and after I eat maybe an hour later I might sneeze. But my whole body moves when I sneeze and I have no control over it. I always sneeze three to four times in a row.

What is your appetite like?

I guess I have a normal appetite but lately I am not that hungry. During the week I will eat three meals but on the weekend I don't have lunch just a late brunch. I can just eat a bagel and tea and that is enough for me. But Lately I am not that hungry for food and I guess it has to do with me not feeling so well and everything that is going on in NYC. The first thing to go when I am depressed or not feeling well is my appetite and sometimes I have to force myself to eat.
In the past when I have been depressed I lost 10 pounds because I had no appetite and I would have to force my self to eat. I know it's wrong not eating but my stomach gets full from what ever is bothering me.

Do you gain weight easily?

I have never been fat but when I eat three meals I can gain weight. I am 5 feet 5 and if i eat well I can be 125 at the most and when I don't eat so much I can be 115 to 120 but when I get depressed I can go down to 110 pounds and I do look thin at that weight.

Have you had your thyroid levels checked in a blood test?

I had a blood test last year and everything looked ok but I'm not sure if they checked my thyroid levels. I am going this Friday for a full physical so I can ask my doctor.

How do you feel about Sept 11 and the WTC attack?

The first few days I didn't want to be alone and found that I just wanted to sleep next to a friend. I am not dating anyone now but did have a few friends over that weak. I don't think I wanted to be alone at night. I have been glued to the TV and kinda feel like my life is on hold a little. When I could not get rid of my cough I got scared and had an image of everyone running for their lives and I was left behind because I was the week one. After that I have been a little obsessed about feeling better and getting well just in case something happens in NYC. I have become a little neurotic and any ache or pain I have I start thinking the worst and I was always a little neurotic but now I feel like I am more than ever.

How does it affect you in your day to day life?

I am in a fog a little and for a while and still maybe I don't want to travel out of NYC. I want to stay near my home in case I am not feeling well and I just haven't wanted to do anything. I think I truly don't feel my best lately and it's just not all in my head but because I don't feel well I feel a little scared and like I don't want to go out too much.

If money was no object, how would you spend a holiday?

I'd go visit my friend in Pittsburgh or my friend in Atlanta. I don't mind going places my self so maybe I'd go away y to a spa or something for a few days just to relax.

What sort of literature and music appeals to you?

I like reading stuff on Astrology, Torot, numerology, self help books, religion like Buddhism etc. I like reading about homeopathy, I have a few books I can read up on when I have questions. I also read about songwriting and poetry.

I like nice melodies, rock, alternative and techno music. I also like some country and folk music I just don't like heavy rock and heavy metal. I do appreciate Rap and R and B because I work at music company but I just don't like very hard and heavy music.


(Nice piano)
Thanks,
Chris
