Silicea

Hello,

I took silicea 200 K last week for several problems I have.
The main complaint was nervousness, congestion in head,shyness.
The mind part matched very well, in kent it's not mentioned under bashfull but I have read other books and shyness seems to be a symptom for silicea. My hands and feet are also always cold and I can't stand cold wheater.
Since I took it , I slept better and the nervousness improved.
But since then I have a pressure in my abdomen, it's a kind of fullness.
Sometimes I have some pain in it. I had this before when my homeopath gave me other remedy's. But it never was a good sign because those remedy's didn't help. I didn't have this complaint before I began with homeopahty ( not as severe as now anyway).
I'm going to stop now with silicea and I hope the new symptoms dissapear very soon. 200 K shouldn't work very long I think ? (2 weeks ?).

PS: for the shyness baryta carb. helped a great deal but stopped helping after several repetitions in different potencies. I'm looking for another remedy that can help as good as baryta.

kind regards,
mrdyonis

Dear Dyonis,

"I'm looking for another remedy that can help as good as baryta."
Only a remedy that is prescribed according to your totality of symptoms and not merely for "shyness" (there are more than 100 remedies in this rubric!!!) will help permanently on the mental, emotional and physical level. Homeopathic remedies are neither prescribed according to the name of disease nor for a single complaint or symptom (remember that one symptom will not represent the ddisease as one foot  is not the whole human).  A remedy can never substitute another as there is only one simillimum that will cure perfectly and many similes that may cure if similar enough but not as perfect as the simillimum - which, given in correct dosage will cure rapid, gentle and permanently.
pressure in my abdomen, it's a kind of fullness.
New symptoms may either be caused by
1. a similar aggravation, i.e. the correct remedy in to high a dose, potency or given too frequently - in this case the new symptom will vanish by themselves after the primary action of the remedy is exhausted- in this case you should find the symptom in the pathogenesis of the remedy
(in a very strong aggravation one need to think of an antidote or a lower potency of the same remedy can be given to lessen the aggravation)
2. a dissimilar aggravation, i.e. when the wrong remedy was given, that is not similar enough to cure and will cause more new symptoms to appear then it will heal - in this case the new symptoms together with the old will point to the correct remedy (if severe in antidote may be given before with the most similarity to the troublesome symptoms)
3. old symptoms that you have experienced before in your lifetime, appearing according to Hering's law (of the direction of cure)
4. healing and elimination crisis - there symptoms like skin eruptions, discharges or joint pains may occur as signs of externalization of symptoms and are not  to interfered with, there should be a general improvement of health

How long a 200K acts depends on the nature of disease, patient and remedy and varies greatly between several patients. Also, was the remedy given dry or in watery solution ? From the mode of application depends any possible repetition of the remedy.
Any aggravation is a sign to stop medicine, your practitioner should be able to decide whether the remedy given was correct or only a partial simillimum and whether another remedy is indicated.

I took the remedy dry btw

white spots on my fingernails:
That's only a local symptom and of minor importance for the choice of the remedy (but may serve as a confirmatory symptom). There are rules for case anamnesis, for the evaluation and hierarchy of symptoms and to determine the indicated remedy - only if these are followed the remedy is likely to be chosen correctly.

Is an indication of a deep chronic predisposed layer of the Tub Miasm.

Originally posted by HansW Dear members, dear katja Are local smptoms of minor importance? I don't think so -- each and every disease-symptom together make up the disease symptom picture.

A local symptom particularly in traumatic complaints is very important. Most of the time the local symptoms is representative of some internal disease, when combined with modalities and concomitants, points to the similar remedy with minimum efforts which eradicate the disease permanently.

Dear members, dear Gina
To familiarize with the area of chronic miasmatic diseases and to get a basic understanding, First and foremost:

S. Hahnemann: The chronic diseases, their peculiar nature and their homeopathic cure

This is the foundation and sets standards. All  later works take from it and should be read in conjunction.
Then it becomes clear, that above cited works are only partially in line with Hahnemann's standard work, some introducing material which is contrary to the originals.

BTW: Rubrics as above are secondary literature and cannot replace the MMP for the deicssion making.
