| Shana, it's that magical
time of the year again! Christmas, Chanukah, and blah, blah, blah.
So much to do, so many presents to wrap--all yours!
All I want is my fair share, all I want is what I have coming to
me....
The joys of the season have touched
us all!
With one notable exception....
Right! Our pathetic patient of the
month! Yes, Christmas can be a headache too; just ask Gabi:
Elaine, I woke up with a horrendous sore throat. I could not
speak. After a dose of Belladona I was able to react; yet, I stayed
in bed all day not being able to fully function. The house was
falling apart. I just fed the kids and plugged them into the TV
so I could get rid of them. I went downstairs when I finally got
some help to get away from the noise. I dozed off. It was hot
downstairs. When I woke up I had such an intense, bursting headache
that was traveling from my ears to my face (sinus) to the top
of my head at the occiput, I couldn't stand it! The headache happened
after the sore-throat went away. I went up the stairs and I almost
threw up from the pain. I thought I have never had a headache
this intense! I had no appetite and little thirst and I only drank
cold water.
Between you and me I had tried Bryonia, Nat-Sulph, and Lach.
with very little reaction. This is throughout the whole day. The
pain was so violent! I looked it up in the Repertory even though
I couldn't see to read. I decided on _____________. I just took
the pellets dry, 1M, and sat. I could not lie down because as
soon as I touched the pillow with my head it became worse. And
Magic! It was gone!!!!!!!!
Then I went to the MM and confirmed it: bursting and expansion
sensations, I could not stand any motion or jarring (the kids
were jumping on my bed!) or shaking and at one point I thought,
if I could just jump out in the cold it will all go away, and
I was very irritable, did not want to see anyone especially
not people from the family (therefore my confusion with Bry. at
first).
Mind you this was a bad one; so, I woke up later about 1AM and
had to repeat 200c in water. I took about 4 more doses. It was
all gone. This morning I finished it off (I mean the whole flu
thing) with Gels. and I feel alive again. In only one day!
Yes, Gabi, but you know, I received
an angry letter today from an astute ezine reader who reminded me
that we're all nuts!!!! Homeopathy doesn't work, according to him
(he didn't sign his name, of course) and we're all imagining things!!!
(The "Placebo Postulate", I suspect, only it doesn't explain
why you didn't "imagine" you'd get better after taking
Bryonia! Pity, because you'd have been better a lot sooner!) So
now, friends, if you know which remedy Gabi "imagined"
worked for her, send me an email at LEWRA@aol.com
and the answer will be in next month's ezine. Happy Holidays
to all of our wonderful quiz readers! See you next year!
