Astacus Fluviatilis/mouth ulcers
Hi!I know of a bad case of mouth ulcers which fits in with all the symptoms given here for Astacus Fluviatilis.
Is anybody here experienced with this remedy? Any idea about dosage/frequency?
The ulcers are recurrent and appear when there's stress, overwork, little sleep or wheather changes.
Thanks!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Astacus Fluviatilis is more for the outer skin. The mouth is secondary.
MERCURIUS CORROSIVUS is more for the mouth that is constantly broken out for some reason or other.
We really need more symptoms. You gave too few for a picture of what you need to be formed.
Write some more about the goods and bads, and the stress and the whys. Overwork? Weather changes? Are you environmentally sensitive?
Blessings, Sabra

Hi Sabra,
This is not for me, but for a friend. The sores are in his genes: his kids get them as well, and so did his mother.
He does not need much sleep (~6 hours a day), but if he sleeps less than that (for whatever reason - either because of work or because of long nights playing music) he will get the sores.
He's a really hard worker - about 70 hours a week - and he works in his own projects, that he loves and that are intellectually dense and with a lot of variety. But sometimes there's too much annoying work to do in order to achieve what really matters (like writing long papers explaining every detail of the ideas in a way that will please the customers, dealing with business people etc)
The sores are painful (he's always using anesthetics on them, can't chew) and can be quite big.
Thanks! - e.
