Hmmm. Strange that he doesn't write down what he gives you.

P.S. Neither of those are low potencies. Low ends at 12C.

He siad he did not have his paper work in front of him but he would look it up. He wasn't sure if it was 1M or 30C.

Danielle,
It is plain that you really need someone at hand to reassure you. Following all of the posts you have had in response to your dilemma has seemed a real roller coaster, and I don't read them with a headache and severe pain! Further, I'd dislike very much being the homeopath that you are seeing right now and having my approach second guessed by all. And second guessed is what it is because all of us are seeing it through your eyes. There is no substitute for the homeopath who is sitting in the same room with you. If you need to consult him every day, then ask for that. If you don't trust him then take another approach, but for your sake don't complicate your case any further by taking this or that against what your homeopath is trying to do. You have a complicated enough case as it is.

Each of those who have responded to you on this site obviously are considerate and willing to help. Why not choose one to correspond with privately for your own reassurance while you are working through this. You really don't seem to be well served by having so much thrown at you all at once. In this case more is not always better.
warmest regards, Kathy

Thanks Kathy,

The feedback I have gotten here has helped me when talking with him. If I have learned one thing it's that I have to stick with someone who can see me, and I am. This is just all new to me and all these aggravations fro Ars left me depressed and not me. I never thought a remedy could do such. So I do need the people on the BB not so much to take over my case, but for support and understanding. I am not a homoepath and don't understand what is happening to me on a day to day basis for it changes and the symptoms sometimes leave me a mess. I am not gonna call my homeopath everyday. People were kind enough to take over for Chris and I was smart enough with the help of Snoopy to find someone here to help me. She agreed that I should see someone in person and I guess becuase he wasn't the one she recommended, for he was away teaching I took the only homeopath that was free on a Saturday and it's been hard for usually I would have picked someone based on other criteria. My case is not black and white and I fell just having people here has been helpful. I have listened to my homeopath and have only taken his suggestions for I am paying him to help me. I would never jump around... and do anything crazy for I know you have to stick with one. I stuck with Chris until this happened but there are times when you need support from people for homeopathy is not like going to a doctor and taking a pill and a week later you are better... it's aggravations to a cure or just aggravations related to a proving... maybe the wrong remedy...and so on and so on. It's not easy for the patient sometimes and that is why people on here have been helpful. I will only do what my homeopath suggests but people on here have been understanding and helpful. If there is one thing I have learned is that I have to stick with this guy and have trust in him and if it ens up that he is no good I will find another NYC homeopath to help me.

But thanks for your post.. I do understand what you are saying. IT's just not been easy for me and I have been scared and depressed from thee months of this feeling it will never go away.

Danielle,

Try to find out for a fact whether you're taking a 30C once a day or a 1M once a day.

Practitioners, who sees mistakes being made, don't make good hand-holders. I don't like what's going on here. This is not good homeopathy from where I'm sitting. Kathy was trying to say,
If you keep posting for homeopaths, they're going to feel compelled to prescribe for you, which will lead to confusion and frustration for both you and them.

We've tried to give suggestions that could have eased your pain. But this has been like thowing a rope to a drowning victim who keeps not grabbing the rope but keeps calling for help nonetheless.

Is your practitioner dealing with the fact that you're having a proving of Arsenicum? Did he prescribe Lyc. just because it's a right-sided remedy? One, 2, 3 or 4 doses of a 30C is enough to start any case on the road to relief. A single dose of a 1M is sufficient. Why would he think he might possibly be giving a daily dose of 1M? It boggles the mind. 1M is a high potency. 30C is a medium potency. Anyway, all of this over-prescribing puts you in more jeopardy.

I want know: Does anyone on this Bulletin Board think that Danielle is being well-served?

Snoopy

Just wondering... it is my understanding that the wonderful aspect of LMs is that they work quickly, either towards a cure or aggrevation, and once you stop taking them, the aggrevation subsides quickly as well. I don't understand why everyone seems to think the Ars LM is still aggrevating, does it not make sense that it actually opened up the case; new symptoms, new remedy? Trying to learn, your comments are appreciated.

dear krista

this is not what is normally termed a homoeopathic aggravation.
the normal meaning is that the primary action of the remedy is too strong, so that you get exacerbation of the initial symptoms. it occurs when the potency or dose is in excess of what was needed.

in a case such as this the primary action of the arsenicum was small and shortlived, but because it was a near-ish remedy for a sensitive person, the secondary reaction to it [i.e. the reaction of the patient's vital force against that primary action] was to bring out latent symptoms. it stirred up latent psora, as i think david mentioned previously.

this is why you have to look beyond antidotes, towards related remdies at this stage.

by contrast, the lycopodium which, although given far less cautiously, is doing nothing - because it is not near the similimum.

Danielle - I weas just looking over your posts again and apparently you are taking dry doses - not upping the potency in water, right? You took 3 the first day and then another three because of your workout, right and have been taking daily doses as well? So how many have you taken? And this could be a 1M?

Taking a 1M daily, potency unchanged - DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO SCREAM AT THIS OR IS JUST ME?
