Dear Barb,

Think of it as an animal bite and try Ledum or Hyp.

Barb,

Actually I'm glad you're here cuz I think I've got news for you. I may have found the right remedy for the renowned furniture mover!

I was listening to a case conference presentation today by Anna Schadde, a homeopath from Germany.
She was telling about her patient and about what a pain in the neck he was to his family--quarrelsome, complaining, insulting, rude; and then she said, "...and he MUST have fresh air or he thinks he will suffocate; he was very upset when he came to my office and he saw all my windows were closed." So, I said, "Hey, wait a minute...this sounds somehow familiar!

We're talking basically about a "hot Nux Vomica" for all intents and purposes, which describes your husband very well. Also, did you say he eats like a pig? So does this remedy. Anyway, not to keep you in any further suspense, the remedy is (drum roll) ///////////////////////
KALI IODATUM!

(Isn't it funny that Anna thought of Kali Carb?)

Anyway, Murphy's MM says: "Always troubled, nervous, must walk. ... Abusive. Bad temper. Irritable, irrascible especially towards his children/family.
Harsh tempered and cruel....Irresistible desire for open air."

I would suggest starting with a 200C because he doesn't have a physical pathological chronic disease;
the complaint is totally mental/emotional and very energetic/intense and you might need to match that intensity with an equal potency.

Hope I'm right!

I agree with the Hypericum Snoopy. And also Arnica for good measure!

Hey Barb, Hope you settle down soon. I'll say a prayer!

Warm regards,
Doctorleela

Yes, I guess I'm partial to hypericum too, Dr. Leela, thanks.

Barb, I just checked your original description of the furniture mover, and I could have added to Kali Iodatum: "Talkative and full of jokes, disposition to jest ... saddness and anxiety....Bruised pain in lumbar region...small of back as if in a vice....Hay Fever."

Snoopy

Tongue is muuuuuuch better!

I'll get me an order of Kali Iod (do you pronounce it Ka lee or Kay lie?)

Did Dr. leela suggest that once? Maybe it wasn't for my hubbies case - I don't recall.

thanks a bunch

Dear Barb,

Which remedy did you take for your tongue? How long did it take to start working?

According to Yasgur's Dictionary, it's
Kay-Lie I-Owe-Date-Um, but I say "Kally" out of habit. In fact, if you look at Yasgur's Dictionary, we're pronouncing dozens of our remedies wrong! For example, Chelidonium is
Kell-Uh-Doh-Knee-Um; Hyoscyamus is
Hi-Oh-SIGH-Amiss; Naja is NAY-Juh; Spongia is
SPONGE-ee-ya; Staphysagria is
Staph-uh-SAY-gria, and so on; so I think you'll be forgiven if you slip and say "Kally".

Yes, order your remedy now, while we still have a US Mail Service.

Hey Snoop,

How is Lachesis pronounced in Yasgur's? I've heard it as Lah-chay-sus, and Lah-kees-us, and Lak-uh-sus?
You say tomayto, and I say tomahto, you say potayto, and I say potahto.....

Chris

Dear Chris,

It's LACK-uh-sis.
