The ABC Homeopathy Forum
New thread for brisbanehomeopath please Page 4 of 4
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Just try to describe the state you are in. Anything that happens after the remedy may point to a new one.
I know this is frustrating. I hate this medium - I get no feel for patients, I can't hear the truth only try to guess at it from their writing. Most of the skills I use to get to the centre of the problem are useless here. I rely so heavily on patients being able to take their own cases really. It is a very difficult way to be trying to find a remedy for anyone.
I won't give up however as long as you keep comminicating with me.

Hi Simone - I sent you an email so you can delete your info now.
David - I am sure I am aggravating. But I am tearing up over everything and I just feel like its pointless. I feel heartbroken and I cannot accept it when my son has problems, I cannot. Today we had a meeting with a possible school for next year and it was so emotionally draining (I am sure he is aggravating right now too) and I am just over all these ups and downs. I feel like there is nothing I can do but just let it happen and I am just tired, worn down, depressed. For the last month or so I have been again spending every afternoon in bed up till toward the evening, if my mom or my husband is with my son. I am emotionally drained, exhausted, heartbroken, disappointed. I know I shouldn't do this, so I come out and try to play with my son, but I barely have any energy and something always happens and I am hit by this tidal wave of grief. I cannot accept this.
Also my face and neck are breaking out a lot and I am tired of this happening so much when I am in my 30's. I would be halfway attractive without this but now I just look like a teenager with bad skin, while also having the start of some wrinkles. It is the worst of both worlds.
ETA: Yesterday I read an entire book (fictional) but it was very beautiful and sad all at the same time and I haven't been able to stop crying off and on since. I don't cry a lot at once, but I might if I see something that is sad, hear about something, think about something, or am talking about my son and how helpless I feel about the whole situation. I am even tearing up typing about it right now.

Thank you, strange that it vanished on me. I am working through all the outstanding cases here one by one, and yours is next in line.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ok actually it seemed obvious to me as I worked backwards through the latests posts.
The remedy you need is Sepia. I would get 200c and 1M.
As I read through them the state that clearly stood out, is that of a woman whose love and affection for her child has been exhausted by his constant demands and needs. This has produced and kind of aversion to him, which in turn produces guilt. Sepia women often go into their bedrooms, shut the door, to get away from the draining interactions with their family. They become indifferent, teary, worn out, irritable. Love is seen as a burden for Sepia women, and they begin to resent the fact that they have had to sacrifice so much for the people they love. They become averse to their husbands, angry at their children, do not want to give any more.
Kent says about Sepia suits women whose children drag them down. They begin to lose any joy they have in life, life seems to have nothing for her, and they can become very depressed even suicidal. She may vent her frustration on her family, despite the fact that she knows she does love them. Love and family responsibility has become so burdonsome to her she cannot bear it. It is like the life is draining out of her.

Yes, Sepia was the first remedy prescribed to me when I started homeopathy. ;) It was the only one that made me feel almost immediately better without some long drawn out aggravation. From there I was prescribed in fairly quick succession (2 weeks apart) Lycopodium, Calc Carb, etc, etc, all dry, and on it went. I have the 200c. I will take a split dose of it. Was wondering about this but it seemed too simple. Thank you.

I feel a LOT better after the Sepia. Handling things a lot better, not super tired, actually being social and enjoying hanging out with my family for once. I do think my son is still minorly aggravating though.

Excellent. I am glad to hear it. It appears, as happens so many times, your original homoeopath did not understand that whenever a medicine helps you stick with it until the symptoms change or it stops working.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Thanks! Would it be normal for him to still not be showing the signs of improvement yet? I mean, he just seems kind of like his normal self today, not any better, not any worse.
allicando2 last decade
Aggravation usually occurs up to 5-7 days after the dose. Then the improvements will start to show, with the most stable changes showing at about 10-14 days.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Alright cool. It has been 6-7 days depending on how you figure it. I'll wait and see.
But I have another question...why would I have no aggravation on this and feel relief right away when with every other remedy I have had long aggravations that seem to follow the same pattern (lasting about 8 days). And the dose was the same as I always give myself. Not that I'm complaining! ;)

So very tired, I laid down for a quick nap and woke up 5 hours later!! Still tired, body feels heavy and a bit sore.
allicando2 last decade
Repeat the remedy.
Aggravation may not be noticeable because the potency and dose is exactly right.
It may also not occur because the remedy is palliating rather than curing.

Why should I repeat the remedy? I usually get soreness after taking the remedy and it brings on a need for sleep within the first week?? I feel fine mentally...When I am exhausted and worn out I usually don't sleep like this, and not so deep...confused by what you are telling me.

If you make a report containing a complaint, I assume it is because you want something done about it. If you dont mind being very tired then don't repeat the remedy.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I didn't feel like it was a complaint, just an observation, which I thought was necessary in the follow-up process. I thought this was a normal part of the first week after taking a remedy, was just trying to log anything of note. I wondered if that was a normal course of the remedy. I see that you are irritated by me. Wow.
allicando2 last decade
I am not irritated by you. When you say 'I am tired, body feels heavy, and a bit sore' I assume this is a state that needs dealing with if you mention it to me. They are symptoms, so symptoms are what we use to determine treatment.
Really, if you are fine with it then we don't need to do anything. Just wait.

Ok. I wasn't very clear. The body aches and headaches and deep sleep are not usually something I have, but have happened to me with almost every remedy, within a few days (a little longer this time). I didn't know if this was normal, but it is for me...always resolves within a day or two. I don't know if this is suppression or not. I am fine with waiting, I would rather have a headache and feel flu-like then frustrated and overwhelmed.
