Healing Crisis

I am a 32yr old nutritional therapy student, diagnosed with Glandular Fever last June.
One of four enlarged nodules remains, just right of my voice box, and I am suffering with daily tiredness, brain-fog and tearfulness.

This is all being made worse by investigations into irregular bleeding, since I came off the pill 14months ago. (I went 7 months with no bleeding then started bleeding heavily and havent really stopped since!) I have 2 large cysts on my right ovary and a thickening of the womb (15mm). Even if I could conceive, sex is the last thing on my mind as I feel unclean, dowdy, and unattractive. I worry about blood leaking onto clothes permanently and I constantly worry about infertility. Some mornings I dont want to get out of bed and would just prefer to hide away. I feel incredibly lonely like nobody understands what Im going through. A real party-pooper.

Im easily annoyed and irritated, especially by tight clothing. I cant abide wearing a bra sometimes, or a polo-neck jumper. Necklaces and halter neck tops feel like they are pulling my head/neck forward. I am aggravated by strong perfumes and noises like ticking clocks, wind chimes and noisy eaters! And central heating is zapping my energy too, I prefer fresh air and sunny dry days.

Although I am a little off my food, my diet on the whole is good (mostly well-balanced, vegan and organic) though I am unusually craving carbs and sweet foods right now.
I sleep well and my digestive system is functioning well.

I used to be always cheerful, and fun-loving but I am now very uptight, quiet, dreamy, over-sensitive, tearful, moody, and constantly procrastinate. I cry when frustrated but am still very passionate. I don't have my own home to retreat to right now, and the room I am renting will soon be unavailable, so I am moving at the end of the month yet again.
I really don't know what to do first. My life seems to have no direction, and I am distancing myself from everyone more and more for fear of being a kill-joy.
I dont know if the physical problems are the worst or the psychological ones, it really is a catch 22 situation.

My GP wants me to take progesterone tablets to help balance out high levels of oestrogen and to control the blood loss, but I don't want to even take pain killers let alone hormone tablets.
I am thinking this could be some kind of healing crisis or manifestation of a chronic tiredness?

Please help me find a remedy to get me through all this. The Remedy Finder recommends Sulphur but my self-diagnosis disagrees.

Dear Apple, Sulphur is indeed frequently indicated after a period of long term illness, and if this seems the best indicated remedy, it would certainly be worth trying. I would though, start low. I would also consider obtaining a potency of the Epstein Barr virus itself to apply as a nosode if you are experiencing 'after effects' of this infection.

-Best wishes.

P.S, I must admit also, from your description of yourself above, Sulphur does indeed stand out, possibly and/or Nat Mur.

Thank you so much for your advice, it is much appreciated.
Nat Mur has worked well for me in the past.
I don't understand however 'I would also consider obtaining a potency of the Epstein Barr virus itself to apply as a nosode if you are experiencing 'after effects' of this infection'.
Would you be so kind as to clarify?

Ahh, there we go, I knew there was some Nat Mur in there somewhere ;)

Okay, re: the Epstein Barr. This is the virus implicated in Glandualr fever. Sometimes when there is a history of 'never well since...disease X', or there are some lingering after effects, we will apply a potency of the virus or bacteria implicated in the disease, and this will clear up the case. So, if the properley selected remedy for your case fails to act, this nosode will 'clear the way' for a proper and lasting reaction.
