Please help to find remedy for Hashimoto hypothyroidism
Dear Homeopathy Doctors,I ask for your help to assign a working remedy for me to reduce the amount of synthetic hormones which I take on daily basis.
I already answered all questions in the questionnaire provided on this website.
Thank you a lot for your help!
Many greetings, Leen
Here are the answers:
Patient ID: Female: 25:
1. Describe your main suffering?
I have autoimmune Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto) and I take 125 mg L-Thyroxin daily. The disease was diagnosed 3 years ago, when TPO antibodies were too high (i think around 40000) and TSH was 12, fT3 and fT4 were in norm. Since I take the medications my TSH is around 0.6. The size of thyroid is normal.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Since I take medications my overall feeling is good. I still loose a lot of hairs. If i sleep too much I am weak and can develop headache. Sometimes I have migraine, but since i had acupuncture treatments last year i get migraine maybe only 1 or 2 times per month. It is always hard to get up in the morning.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
I am fearful, when I hear some unexpected loud noise my hands can even start to tremble. I am jealous about past of my husband and jealous when my friends go out without me. I always want to be Nr. 1 (I understand it's not good, but this is inner desire), i am perfectionist.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
I feel myself weak, sometimes even dizzy, headache.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
First symptoms I started to have at age of 18-19 (i was loosing lots of hair, and still lose a lot), i was freezing, i couldn't walk in sun, two times i nearly had black outs, i felt very weak, couldn't go on stairs, couldn't run and for some time (after having flu) i had some heart arrhythmia. By that time i started to take anti-baby pills, maybe that caused the disease. I don't take them since 1 year.
6. Which time of the day you are worst?
In the morning I feel weakness sometimes, which gets better close to evening.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
If it's too hot or I don't get enough of fresh air I might feel worse, in fresh air I feel better.
8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
During first 2-3 days of my menses I might feel some weakness, also migraine occurs normally 1 day before menses.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
Best is dry or humid but not too hot weather. Choosing between very hot and very cold - cold is better.
10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.
I am easily offended, lazy if I'm not motivated enough, sometimes arrogant. I am open and always tell truth and expect that people do the same. I laugh a lot and do not complain, always try to see things positively. I can do a lot of work if i am motivated. If i do something, I always do it in smallest details, as good as possible, but sometimes i loose motivation before I am finished.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Dear Leenda,
Please take 5 (five) doses of PULSATILLA 30c at a gap of 12 HOURS. Do not take any other remedy or herbs on the next 15 day. Do not repeat it on the next 15 day after completing these 5 doses.
1st dose means:
Insert 1 pellets or 1 drop of the remedy into 15 ml distilled water. Thoroughly stirred it and take 1 teaspoon from it. Please use only hygienic teaspoon or boil the teaspoon before use.
2nd to 5th dose means:
Get a 500ml bottle of distilled Water from the nearest supermarket. Pour out about 250 ml of water from the bottle to leave some airspace. Insert 1 pills (If the remedy is in pills form) or Insert 1 drop (If the remedy is in liquid dilution form) of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard 10 times in a row (10 strokes of equal strength). Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succession which is done to enhance the medicinal power of the remedy.
Please take only 5 DROPS of the reconstituted dilution of 250 ml using a disposable dropper every time at a gap of 12 hours.
Please SHAKE the bottle hard 10 times in a row (10 strokes of equal strength) EVERY TIME before taking 5 drops from this bottle using a disposable dropper which can be used as a dose.
Please report back after 15 day. I look forward to your response. You may see some aggravation on first few days. Please do not worry about that. All the existing symptoms will be subsided with in a few days.
Restrictions:
1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 1 hour prior to, or after taking the remedy.
2/. If your remedy came in pills form do not touch the pills with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water.
3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption
4/. Avoid wearing perfume or exposure to anything with a strong smell on the day and 3 days following the remedy administration. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense.
5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicy foods.
6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be avoided during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by your Doctor.
Best wishes,
Rahiq

I got the remedy already and tomorrow I want to start the treatment. But before I start the it, I want to get sure about few things:
1) Normally I drink black or green tea every day, few times a day, so I shouldn't drink tea only on the days when I take the remedy or also during next 15 days? What can you recommend me to drink instead (from warm drinks)?
2) Can I use the mixture of Arnica Q with olive oil externally against hair loss as Joe De Rivera recommends during the remedy administration or during next 15 days?
3)the gap of 12 hours shall be kept exactly or 11-13 hours is also ok?
thanks a lot!

Dear Rahiq,
I'm reporting after 15 days. At the moment I don't have any big difference to my physical state as before remedy administration, however I feel somehow better mentally. I feel like more happy.
On second day of remedy administration I got a headache, and also on the next day. First week I felt more weak physically, but I don't know if it all was caused by the remedy.
What do you suggest to do next?
Thank you for your time,
Leenda

Dear Leenda,
I feel somehow better mentally. I feel like more happy.
> This is not only a good sign but also a perfect sign of improvement. I strongly believe that you will face improvement gradually both mentally and physically too with in a few days. There is no need to take any more doses right now. Wait, wait & wait until you see any more aggravation in your physical condition or abnormality or uneven discomfort, unhappiness, etc on your mental state or there is a new symptom occurs which you didnt see in your past life. Please wait at least 15 more days.
Report back after 15 days.

Dear Rahiq,
am posting only now as before I didn't experience any changes. Generally I feel good, but what I noticed in last month - my premenstrual syndrome disappeared. Past 5-7 years I always had tension and some pain in my breasts 3-5 days before my periods, and last time I didn't have any tension or pain any more. Do you think this is effect of the homeopathy treatment or just a strange co-incidence?
What do you suggest to do next?
thank you and many greetings,
Leenda

This is an example how homeopathy actually works. First of all you feel improvement on mental level. And then saw some improvement on your physical condition. Slowly but effectively the remedy works whatever it can do. This is not co-incidence.
Wait for 15 more days. Please report back after 15 days.

Hello,
Have you tried Phosphorus? Being that you are slender, have a healthy self-esteem and are afraid of thunderstorms, Phosphorus is recommended. Especially if you crave cold things, like cold water, cold soda, Perrier, ice cream, etc.
I am also Hypothyroid, on meds, with similar symptoms, and Phosphorus helped me to make progress...

Coneja,
Every man is unique; physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. Homeopathy is all about treating a patient, not a disease. If a doctor can't read a patient's mind, what's the matter which disturb his patient, make him sick; how do he / she can treat him? One remedy cure a person so that it can cure all of them who suffered from the same disease! How its possible.
