Hi,
The teeth on the upper right side of my mouth have been hurting so bad that it is almost unbearable. I went to the dentist last week and the xrays showed that my sinuses are enlarged and resting on the nerves of my teeth in that area.
I have been taking a pain reliever which sometimes help. I called the homeopath that I've been seeing but he hasn't responded back. I've been swishing ice water on the side which temporarily relieves it. Sometimes it will go away completely and other times it aches non stop. When I lay down it takes awhile for the pressure to ease up. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sue K

Hi Sue, you can help you're homoeopath by being able to describe the sensation of the pain. It feels as if .......?
Nerve pain in the teeth that is alleviated by ice !! is pretty uncommon. Most of the usual remedies would be contraindicated by that indication alone. Kali carb, symptom number 400 may be kinda close, but your homoeopath will have the benefit of seeing the case in its entirety, making use of concomitant information from other areas e.g. the inflamed sinuses and the circumstances around it.

Sue K.


any swelling (besides sinues)? face, cheek,glands....
any other complaints? constipation,headche....etc?
what symptoms before teeth pain from sinus pressure? Think. anything?

If desperate ,then take 1 dose puls 200c.

If not ,post back.

Hi John, May I draw your attention to this:
Pulsatilla Symptom number 208. Drawing twitching toothache, aggravated by drinking COLD fluid.
This means cold fluids aggravate the pain felt in the teeth. Not much similarity between what you're proposing will fix Sue's present complaint and what limited information she has actually presented. Unless you're psychic and know more than Sue does. Do you?

I know you're not a homoeopath, but apparently aspire to be one, so here's a tip.
You record the symptoms FIRST. This basically involves asking for all the relevant information you need to make an informed decision.
Why do you insist on telling someone to take a remedy while you're still getting all the information together?
This doesn't inspire confidence.
Then organize your material into a coherent framework, *and only then prescribe*. Preferably not on other people until you get the hang of it.

Why is it on another thread you acknowledge the potency of homoeopathic medicines, then here, you do the exact careless opposite by prescribing medicines without the necessary information.
Please try to reign in your saviour complex until you grasp these essential principles.
Please note that professional homeopaths don't do what you are attempting to do. They know the pitfalls. Exercise some common sense, this is not a game.
At the very least you could have enough courtesy to inquire if Sue had got a response yet from her own homoeopath first.

Chrisg,

May I draw your attention to boenninghausen-
puls(3) ameliorated by cold(water,air,food) and do consider the sinuses. and as I have stated "if pain is desperate,then take puls 200c. Do you get it? Causation sinuses. If Sue is not desperate it insinuates that she is tolerating the situation, then she may (if she will) relate more info.Thusly suggesting a different remedy.
Maybe worry more about helping.

John Stanton

Oh pardon me. I was referring to the actual proving symptoms IN CONTEXT - which is what we do AFTER REPERTORIZING. Do please have some courtesy about interfering in another homoeopath's case, okay? And keep that saviour complex in check in the meantime.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. What's interesting is that my homeopath has been treating me with Pulsatilla 200 and 12 because of sinuses with itchy eyes. My itchy eyes have been under control but now this with my teeth. I should probably wait for him to respond.

Thanks for your help!

Yes exactly Sue, so the repetition of doses or changing of remedies needs to be viewed in proper context. That's why it's not a good idea to jump ship in the midst of treatment or take improper advice from well-meaning but ill-informed sources.
All the best.

Sue;

If this is over-work of puls,then should stop taking pulse(if still taking it ).If you choose not to stop,then 'grab' your homoepath and tell him that you are in 'freakin' pain . Maybe he will tell you to stop/maybe not;
but he better prescribe a follow up remedy; if he puts you off and tells you to rough it or take aspirin, then , well you figure it out.

I will tell you that 1 dose nux-vomica 200c will antidote and cover past and current symptoms.Keep this in mind if your homoepath does not give the help you seek.


Do not mind ChrisG, .She even sends her own patients to other homoepaths.

John Stanton

Um yes, I most certainly do, - if I'm unavailable or out of my depth. This takes a bit of personal insight, and a unwillingness to arrogantly cause more harm.
Perhaps you'd like to post that relevant Aphorism in full and we could discuss that?
