I'm with Ricky.

Thank you for your reply.
I don't know enough about Homeopathy to be dangerous. I have practised Massage and Nutritional Consulting in the past, and had someone that was looking for a little extra advice.
I too had read through Lycopodium, but also thought about Phosphorous.
The muscle problems that he has complained about for years, which at one time were very severe, does that too fit Lycopodium. I ask because Rhus. Tox. seems to fit at least that part of it? (from the little that I have on the subject )
Finally, and if Lycopodium, what dose.
Would one start with say 200C, and see what happens, and then after two - four weeks take 1M.
Or would one just start with 1M. This does seem more of a emotional/mental type of situation?
Thanks again, truly.
Mark =)

Sorry I presumed from your description of the case that you are a homeopath. Since you are not and this appears to be a cnstitutional remedy I would suggest that you give a split dose to suck - one night , ome mornng, one night of a 30C potency and see what happens. I would prefer that the person saw a professional homeopath as I would not like to prescribe anything higher online without seeing the patient.
Please tell the patient to refrain from drinking coffee and eating minty things.

Well the patient, me, has taken the remedy - no guts no glory. Though now that my symptoms are aggravated I don't feel so gutsy.
If I'm right, no sign is a bad sign...while some sign or aggravation of symptoms is a good sign, no?
Also, I have heard of no consensus on countering a remedy. I ask because by accident I had some weak peppermint tea last night.
One fellow in Canada, a Dr. of Homeopathy once told me that with the right remedy, nothing can cancel it, while a local fellow I could no longer work with, said to me that I shouldn't even meditate, because anything can cancel it. My feeling is the truth lies in between?!
Thoughts...
Thanks again.
Mark =)

I don't know how or if this relates to lycopodium, but some additional sy...
-liver pains, aching, dull pressure, upward, and behind right shoulder (sounds like chel.)
-doesn't like restrictive clothing, likes open blinds even at night, doesn't like being told what to do (relates to lach.)
For now I'll let the lycopodium do its thing.
Thanks again.

What potency did you take in the end? What form has your aggravation taken? I agree that if you have had a reaction it is the right remedy!! I also agree that if you do take the right remedy nothing will antidote it. It is only when you take a near remedy , which can do some good, that you can antidote with ,mints, coffee etc.
I don't know of any practitioners in your area (I only know the UK) but am sure someone can advise you.

Hi Mark,

I have a wonderful homeopath in Rockwall. If you're interested, just email from the icon at the top of this message and I'll send you her phone number. If Rockwall would be too long a drive, she may know of a good homeopath nearer to Denton.

Good luck,

Lynn

I'm so sorry about the aggravation! When it wears off, there may be an improvement; but if not, it may be that this Rhus tox state that you mentioned needed to be treated first, the Lycopodium state second. In other words, you may need to try Rhus tox 30C if nothing comes of this Lycopodium experiment.

Snoopy

Thanks so much for the sincere help.
Like I said no guts no glory, I went for the 200C!!
I was feeling bold. Was.

The aggravation, twofold...
-more pains, muscular on the rt. side.
-more muscle pains, tightness, in general.
-anxieties surfaced with thoughts/fears of what I may have done wrong, what I did wrong, (fear of rejection), what I could do to make it/me right....yadayada, which have subsided.

As I stated in the last email, and was not on the first post... there is rather significant pain (dull, aching, constricting, pulling) around the liver/gallbladder area, extending some behind right shoulder blade, rt. side(obviously), which was also aggravated. (cause- chronic case of parasites??-no tests have confirmed that yet). This is the reason I mentioned CHELIDONIUM, as this seems to be a focal point. Though RHUS. TOX. does relate to the muscles being tight, improving with movement...etc.
That's all for now.
Thanks again.
Mark =)

P.S. - just remembered, I took RHUS. TOX. 30C a week before I took the LYCOPODIUM 200C, because of a flu.
- also thanks for the load off on canceling a remedy Ricky. The other Homeopath I knew just had a very strict(for lack of better word) view on this, which I was uncomfortable with. I thought a lot of people would be at odds if they were told not to do anything else during the treatment, as many people these days are taking supplements, or getting some type of bodywork...., and meditating(that was too much).
