overwhelmed, and stressed out
please help. The last couple of weeks I have been feeling very overwhelmed. I have three children 10,8 and 6. I teach prechool two days a week and babysit for three small children during the day, and two extra after school. In the after noon there is a total of 8 children in my home, ranging in ages from 2 to 10 years. This includes my three. I can normally handle everything pretty well, but latly I just feel like I am going to have a break down. I can't think,have became very irritable when I normally have the patience of a saint. I feel like I just want to be alone, but I want my husband to hold me.I have no appetite, or thirst and am craving sweets very badly. I never normally like sweets. I am affraid that I am slipping into a depression.The last couple of days I have beenhaving a very tight feeling in my chest. LIke I can't breath, or a weight is on my chest. Please, help.AlisaA on 2007-04-26

I have a history of depression and anxiety, but was treated by a phychiatrist years ago, and have not had any porblems for a few years. A couple of months ago, I started to not enjoy things the way I usually do.And started feeling very irritable about very minor things. About 3 days ago,I started to have a tightness in my chest with the feeling that a weight is on it and I feel like I can't get my breath.I want to be left alone by everyone except gor my husband whom Iwant as much attention from as possible. Not meaning sex, just to hold me. As for sex, I do not enjoy it so much any more.I am on the verge of tears at the slightest thing, and then I am very mad about anything. mood swings.I have no thirst or hunger and have a hard time with constipation.I normally do not like sweets, but latley I find myself craving sweets.

I forgot to mention that on about three fingers and 4 toes I have something like a mild fungus growth. There is no pain, just a residue that builds up underneath causing the nail to separate from the nailbed.Also, the acne is very itchy.

Take Thuja 200 once a week for 3 weeks.
Other days ...Graphites 200 one dose every morning...
If you notice a major aggravation ...stop the meds and wait for improvements to set in.

it seems you are a PULSATILLA lady although some of the symptoms are not covered.
please wait for dr. mahfooz and his advise. if he also thinks in the same direction, you can take pulsatilla 200c or 1m a few doses for most of your mental and respiratory problems.

you have some major mental and general symptoms of pulsatilla and few of the physical ones.
thus, the remedy is a close match and would definitely work.

Dear AlisaA,
My opinion your case is as under:
1. I agree with the advise of dr. rishimba totally. Please take Pulsataill-200c single dose( 3 drops in a little water) at night for a week and report.
2. You second problem of Nail fungus - I would suggest you use vicks vapourup (morning and evining) on the affected area. I found it personnaly very useful for fungus. actually I read an article on it here on internet wherein he claimes to reduce the bad effects of fungus. I was also suffering nail fungus of my left thumb nail. I have used homoeo medicines but no success.In one months it has improved with applying vicks vap.please try.
3. About your husband prosprate infection please try R-25 (dr.wreckewe Germany) 15 drops thrice a day adnd report after 15 days.

I forgot to ask you if the the pulsatilla will help with the acne? It is not bad, but very irritating, and itchy.
Thank you also for the recommendation for my husband, I was not expecting this so it was a pleasant surprise.
He is under the care of a homeopath now,who has
him on ferrum phos 6x, prostate epithelial nosode 200c and belladonna 30c,Rhus tox30c three times daily until the chimaphila
1m comes that was special ordered. once the chim gets here he is to take the one dose of the chim
1m and discontinue the belladona and rhus tox.Would you mind telling me if you think this will work for him.This is our first case with her and we do not know her very well yet.They all seem to be in the book somewhere for prostate problems, but it confused me that she is using so many. I am studieing homeopathy on my own at home, and I am learning that you should use one at a time.So i am slightly confused

pulsatilla will work for the acne as well.
now, regarding your husband, it all depends on the totality of symptoms what has been captured by the homeopath during case taking. the remedy would be based on the set of symptoms.
we cant comment on the prescription without taking the case.
ideally, a single remedy is suggested at a time but in some cases when the symptoms are divergant, a set of two ( max ) may also be suggested if they are not inimical.

Dear rishimba,
thank you for clearing it up for me. I was just curious.
Can I take the pulsatilla in 30c until I get the 200c? It should be here in about a week. I would just like to start feeling better.
I have been reading on the graphites, and I seem to fit alot of the physical symptoms there. Could I benefit from this one also as
Pankaj Varma suggested? Again, I only have the 30c.

Dear AlisaA,
You have sent your symptoms to this forum and have been understudy of comptent drs.therefore, you are requested to follow their advise. Dr.rishimba is quite right. Please do not try so many medicines at a time with the consultancy of various drs. Follow any one of them and discuss your problem with him for proper treatement.
Regarding R-25 I may submit that is can be had from any homeopathic store, it is easily available almost all over the world.
Moreover you should try Pulsatailla first hopefully it will solve your problems in toto.

Yes ...Pulsatilla will be your next med.
But you have to take Thuja and Graphites to clear up the miasm first ...after which Pulsatilla will show results.
Otherwise ...unlikely that Puls will show much benefit...if administered first.

AlisA,
please dont worry about PULSATILLA, its both anti-psoric and anti-sycotic to some extent and has been used successfully as anti-miasmatic remedy for psoric and sycotic miasms.
this will work fine on you and would give you a long term relief.
graphites is anti-psoric and thuja is a strong anti-sycotic remedy, but in your case they are not required as you dont have a predominant sensation of itching of your skin with you other symptoms which could have shown a strong psoric layer.
further, you have not mentioned any family history of gonnorhoea. neither you have reported any kind of warts on your body. i feel your predominant miasm is sycosis but it doesnt call for thuja.
my conclusion is that, pulsatilla would be able to cure you without the help of any other anti-miasmatic remedies.

I do have small warts on the palms of my hands, and feet. I didn't even think about it because they don't bother me, they are just there.I had practically forgotten about them until you mentioned them just now.They are very small, and the same color as the rest of my skin.
AlisaA last decade
this further suggests the dominance of sycotic miasm in you.
if the warts are small and old and they are not bothering, you can just leave them as hey are.
just take pulsatilla as suggested earlier.
in case you really want to get rid of the warts, please describe their shape, size, location, distribution etc.

I have taken the pulsatilla three times now, and my skin is starting to clear up, I am sleeping pretty deeply, and I was starting to feel alot better, until last night when I was getting slightly irritated.
Well, the warts are only on the palms of my hands and the bottoms of my feet.They are flesh colored, someplaces in clusters but someplaces there is only one here and there.they are pretty flat, some barely are raised, but some are raised quite a bit. They ones on my feet are bigger.As far as size, it you look at a pencil lead, the width where the lead meats the wood, this is the size of the bigger ones on my my hands. the warts on my feet are bigger, but not by very much.

try DULCAMARA 200C one dose every morning empty stomach for a week.
also you can apply THUJA-Q tincture on the warts some three times a day. continue this for a month.
