I took two doses of the above remedy on Sat and Sun - wet dose bottle succussed.
Since taking it I've had the most horrendous stomach problems - pains, belching, burping, flatulence, nausea and headache. My stomach is also very very bloated - worse than normal and feels uncomfortable - feel like I can hear water swishing about inside it!. Feel like I keep wanting to go to the loo but then can't. I've had wet dose 6c before and always had good results but this is something else. Any ideas how long it will last and is there anything I can do to get rid of the aggravation - which is what I guess it is - 4 days now of this - so a bit fed up - would have thought an aggravation would have gone now and I don't think it's a bug I've caught due to the fact I was reading on another forum someone who had a similar time when he took a high potency dose of nux vom.
Is this normal? Any help greatly received.
Hi Janet,
It's hard to comment without having taken your case but it sounds like you're not having a very good time of it and I'd run it past your homeopath if you can.
We can't necessarily predict your response to a remedy, by looking back to when you had it previously, regardless of potency. It will depend whether it's homeopathic to you, at the actual time you take it, as to how you respond.
The responses that are often called 'aggravations', aren't usually long lasting but again, without knowing all the details, it's hard to asess what's going on.
Sorry I can't be more specific. HTH Hom
OK thanks for that - surely it can't last much longer now - it's certainly been a strange one - but 4 days of stomach pains isn't good!
Hi Janet,
Just another thought. Not sure if your homeopath prescribed this or not but it's not a way of giving a remedy that I tend to use. However, my understanding is that succussion results in 'upping' the potency each time you do it. so, this may be helpful if you're very sensitive to remedies because you can 'work up' to a higher potency gradually. But I guess, you could easily succuss a number of times and end up with a higher potency than you need- hence an 'aggravation'.
No, it's not much fun having the symptoms for the time you have. I would expect it to settle down soon though..... Hom
I'm still waiting for them to get back to me.
Today is the first day I've not had it all day - I've had them part of the day but had quite bad headaches on and off all week and last night full blown migraine with zig zags in the eyes then a really cracking headache.
Just what I really needed. Yes was succussing bottle twice so if I did it Saturday and Sunday that would be 4 times.
Have to see what they say but it's been 3 days!
I would agree with hom that you should contact your homeopath. It sounds to me like you are 'proving' the remedy so I don't think it is the right one for you or maybe there is some clearing out of past medications that need attending to first. Hope you feel better soon.
Feeling better now - could be right it maybe was clearing out some old remedies or probs.
If it was a proving - what does that mean - is it dangerous. Or could it just have been an aggravation - normally I'm ok with 6c but this was 30c
