I use pepperment in my toothpaste and shampoo and in my home made cleaning solutions. I smoke occasionally. I use eucalyptis. I have only taken my remedy twice in the past... almost a year. I know even if nothing huge is going on it is still working on some level. Amazing how different we all are. Granted maybe when I find my new CH it will be completely different!!

Yeah, I was surprised about taking it often too. But I guess there are a lot of different ways to do it. And mine's a low dose, rather than just giving a high dose one time.

It really is interesting how it's different for everyone.

I'm still using my mint toothpaste... and I feel ok about that. But I'm not using the peppermint shampoo, because it is such an overwhelming (in a good way) smell that it makes me feel like it could easily be an antidote.

So...since giving DD her first dose a few weeks ago....sleep has not changed, nothing has really changed - except for someone took my sweet kid and replaced her with a WHINER!!!!! Good lord this kid has started to whine all.the.time for the last 10 days about. Not tantrums, not in coorelation to anything necessarily - just whining very frequently. I finally decided to call the homeopath to discuss it and he's going to do some more studying and send us a new remedy tomorrow. Hope it helps something! And on a really pissy note - DD's new insurance that I specifically switched her to so they'd cover 50% of all this non-preffered provider stuff straight up LIED to me when I was grilling them on the phone and it turns out this particular benefit is after a separate $3k deductible. Okay - kiss my ass Lifewise of WA!!!!!!!!! So....we will not be able to continue with this path as I would like to. I mean, we *can* and we will but will not be having as many visits as I would want to.

WTF?!? Did I hear correctly- a THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR deductable?!? That's insane. You really should go see Dr. Doroshow- since she's an MD, she just bills it under whatever diagnosis code, nothing about treatment type (homeopathy), and it's covered under our insurance. Wish I could find an MD homeopath for myself...

Oh- and hugs for the whining. Whining sucks. bad.

I'm glad he's looking at the case again.

There are some homeopaths that like using lower doses more frequently for a variety of reasons.

Might be a nice way to go once I find a new one. I think my second dose was crazy strong!!

What are my options for a homeopath if there aren't any listed for my area in any of the official directories?

[mama_mich]

Yes, you read that right. I was aware of the regular deductible ($1500 - but it's $35/month cheaper than the old insurance and covers chiro before deductible which the other one didn't so we're gambling on it) but was never told that the non-provider 50% coverage was after $3000 was spent out of pocket. God I frickin' hope Obama can fix this insurance/health care mess. It's just endlessly irritating, not to mention EXPENSIVE!

I think we're all hoping that, but somehow I doubt it's at the top of his list of priorities having just taken office.

It's not uncommon for homeopaths to work over the phone nowadays. You'll find someone if you are looking!

Just PMed you with a reference.

I just saw the homeopath today and took my remedy. He gave me a one time dose of 200c and a tube of 20c to take every day following. I'm truly excited!

Wow- it is so crazy the difference in dosing between practitioners!!

I took another dose (my 3rd now) of my remedy last night. My eczema spot is already flared and itchy, and my leg (where mystery rash was) is starting to itch, although I don't see a rash yet. I'm still quite grumpy, so I hope that passes soon.

Do you mean 12C or 30C? There is no 20C....

I would love to know which remedy everyone is taking! I just recently (like 2 weeks ago) had a life changing experience with a new remedy!

It can be more a difference in cases. the same practitioner could have a variety of methods of prescribing based on what's infront of them. In fact....they should!

Oops. I mean 20X, and it's Cyclamen. I am wondering if I will experience an exacerbation of sx, because I don't think I have...

[lil_miss_understood]

Well, I've been taking my Ipecac. I've started having to take it every morning though (30c). I can hardly wait to see my ND.

ETA: And for the first time since I was pregnant with DS1, I have a cold sore. It showed up the day after I started taking Ipecac.

[Punchy Kaby]

I learn so much from reading here and at the same time I feel in over my head. For the past few years I have been learning about health from 'biomedical' standpoint and it is challenging for me to see from a new view.

I did try taking sepia, 30c, when I was weepy, desperate and especially moody and it did seem to turn things around. I have not felt like crying since then and I am not repulsed by being pregnant anymore.

Still waiting for my appt, only 10 days to go.

[gilamama]

my dd got a remedy from a homeopath who would not return calls only messages via her secretary : that turned her into a whiney unhappy girl (got rid of her ear infection though) i was so mad. we did not go back to her. my dd saw someone else for a while and hasnt had any remedies in a while.

i, however, saw a great classical homeopath yesterday. she asked so many good questions and we spoke for so long. She needed to think more abt which remedy to giveme and will send it in the mail. she doesnt want to tell me what it is though. she says i know too much ant homeopathy and it will mess things up. has there been any discussion abt that idea here? i think there was mention of it on some thread but i dont remember which one.

i felt a big feeling of releif after i saw her. really grateful to have someone else involved in healing me and my family. it is such a weight to have all the decisions for everyone's health on my shoulders. if i had more knowledge maybe it wouldn't be so heavy.

Glad you had a great experience! I personally don't agree at all with this approach, but everyone works differently!

To me this approach somewhat discredits homeopathy is a form of medicine. I would never take a prescription without knowing what it was and the same goes for remedies. Knowing what remedy it is (IMO) doesn't mess anything up. It either does something or it doesn't. You get better or you don't. Just my two cents!
