I would add a follow up on my friend's case:

After taking Calc carb C200, and feeling fine for weeks, she started to feel, that things are stopped, or even becaming worse. The last menstruation wasn't so PMS-free, and a week before it, she got herpes on her lips, which she used to have every few weeks in her teens, and even in twenties, since kindergarten. But now it was years since she last got one.
So she just made another dilution of the remedy (after dissolving one globule in a glass of water, she took out a spoonful of this to another glass of water) and took that 3-4 times. This was about a week ago. She now feel fine, and when I meet her, I just could not tell, she was so dull mentally just 2 months ago!

I think she continues healing. Superficial symptoms come up (herpetic). Tell her not to suppress and also discharges can come up. It is not bad to dissolve the remedy but do'nt repeat untill it is necessary. Give follow up.

Few days ago, one evening my friend started to feel the spinning vertigo again. It wasn't as bad as it used to be, but she panicked, and diluted the remedy in water, to have it at hand should she need it during the night, if things are getting worse. Then she went to sleep. And she awakened in the morning, feeling fine, so she just thrown out the diluted remedy.
I think it is a good sign, it looks to me, that her body is now able to handle it on its own. Am I right?
Or she would be better off repeting the remedy when this simptom come up again?
Or maybe she should use a higher potency, and this short relapse was a sign that the remedy she took did all it can and she needed more help?

i think it is good and deep working. The fact that she did not take the solution is a sign that she has the feeling of selfregulation. Repeat only when symptoms stay longer. I do'nt think to give a higher potention untill , because she is good reacting and also on deep level. Thank for folluw up

I have one question: my friend is now complaining of headache, tiredness, stuffy nose and a weary feeling, and there are a number of people around her coming down with the flu. What should she do in case of acute illness in this situation: treat it as usual - mainly lower poterncy homeopathic remedies, what fits best the actual simptoms - or repeat the Calc. Carb. or what? She used to take Oscillo int these times of the year for flu-prevention. Could she take it, or it would mix up her case?
Thanks for the advice

normally you should only repeat the remedy when necessary... but look at the self-healing capacity. If she takes oscillo several times there is no problem but i think it is better to take oscillo when symptoms come up at early stage. Not as routine because it is interfering and also a complete remedy.

Hello!

Here is some follow up on my friend's case:
She feels fine mentally and emotionally too. Now she is having a hard time in her life, and said to me, months earlier she would have broken down under such a big stress.
She didn't repeted the remedy since I last time have told you here.
Now, she feels sharp pain in her right tigh, at the site of an old (2-3 years old) muscle injury. It has started about a week ago, and she told, if it would have a grade 5 at the start, now it is back to grade 4. It means, that if she pulls up her leg accidentaly while sleeping, the pain didn't awaken her now. And 2 days ago another herpes appeared on her mouth.
My question is: should she wait, because the old injury surfacing is a sign of the remedy still working, or should she repeat the remedy now, because the herpes reappeared?
Thanks: Monika

Personally, I would wait while old symptoms are returning...to see what pattern settles and takes hold.

After this long time, here we are now:

She did very well for months.
She went through a fake-kidney-cramp: had a pain she used to have when having a kidney infection (she had many) but it was tolerable, and just went away on it's own.
Then skin troubles came up: eczema on her hands, and little fluid filled vesicles coming up to the surface of her skin on her hands and feet. She got the athlethe's foot back too. These are all old symptoms she had in her early teen. So she just waited.
A few - about 2-3 - weeks ago she had another case of spinning vertigo. It was milder, than it used to, but she don't wanted to wait untill it is getting worse.
So she diluted and potenciased the Calc. Carb. one more, and took it 3 times in 15 minutes, and the vertigo went away.
A week later she got a wart-like thing on her right sole of her foot. It looks like the fluid-filled vesicles looked, but is bigger (about a pepper-size) and feels more hard, and it is painfull when she steps on a hard surface.
Another week later she started to feel like the vertigo is to be starting soon. It actually not, she just feels like it would, with the usual change in her sight (things are looking little strange, and sometimes more distant then they are).
Should she use higher potency now, or it should be still considered the right direction?

Best is to stay with the remedy, looking from the results and deep working in old symptoms. I think you schould go to a higher potention and give it in one dose.

Only repeating when strong symptoms emerge. Possibly little symptoms flare up but disappear quickly
