I've treated alot of things successfully with homeopathy, but they were relatively small and acute. I'm going through something that began as severe anxiety and then moved into insomnia that won't go away even with HUGE doses of regular pharms...which I don't really like to take anyway. One MD is prescribing prozac right now I know all these people are trying to help. One naturopath I saw gave me a constitutional dose of arsenicum to help with the anxiety and I don't know how good of a job it did. But now things are different and I totally need some sleep. I'm considering seeing a professional homeopath here in my area though the first visit if very high but she feels that she can help me. I know this is multi layered. I am working hard at hanging on to hope and functioning. This is all very perplexing to me.
Just wondering if anyone has successfully worked with a chronic situation before.

Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Wed, September 5, 2007 - 6:31 AMI'm doing counseling, too..but it just feels physical, too. I mean, I go to bed and I feel perfectly peaceful prior to sleep..but my body just won't go to sleep. It feels like it's a combination now. -

Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Wed, September 5, 2007 - 8:05 AMi used to have a similar problem with sleep.
it was all psychological / emotional in my circumstance - the body was holding all of the emotional energy.
what helped me was a type of therapy called EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). -

Wed, September 5, 2007 - 8:08 AMi had tried exercise, lavender incense, crystals, talking, journalling, diet, other counselling, self affirmations, etc etc.
nothing else worked for my situation - cuddles helped but didnt resolve the problem.

Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Thu, September 6, 2007 - 12:00 PMI have had amazing results working with a homeopath for over two years now with my constitution. The most important point is to choose a really good homeopath, who actually has a good percentage of healed cases. Also, be aware that while you may see some results right away, other healing is happening at a very deep soul level, and may take many months to become apparent to you, but to a homeopath's trained eyes, it should be obvious within a couple of times of seeing you whether or not the remedy is acting. -

Thu, September 6, 2007 - 1:23 PMYes..I feel this is multilayered...thyroid, emotional...all of it. I'm seeing this homeopath tomorrow who I spoke with today who seemed very cool. I look forward to meeting him.
Thanks everyone for your input. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Thu, September 6, 2007 - 3:42 PMwell I did find out too that my thyroid levels were too high. This is a looooooong thing with my thyroid. So frustrating. I did 3 lab draws in August because I felt like something was off with my thyroid. But they kept saying that it was in the right range. I had yet another draw last friday and today they let me know that they are lowering my level. I've just known that my anxiety level has been over the top lately and I've lost alot of weight. Like I said, I think this is multilayered. -

Wed, September 26, 2007 - 1:20 PMI love Calms Forte by Hylands for sleep issues. I know it's not personalized like a homeopath will provide, but it works! I've recommended it to others who all say it works really well. Even my mother who is a pharmaceuticals dream and was on all kinds of prescription sleep aids now swears by it. Just a thought... -

Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Tue, December 18, 2007 - 3:41 PMI am a homeopathic practicioner in the Denver area. I've treated many chronic conditions with success with homeopathy. What I like most about this particular health care is that it treats the person with the condition (the anxiety and the insomnia). What is important to know (once you've found a qualified practicioner whom you feel comfortable with), is that it is a process and that one dose, one time for a chronic condition or poly-symtematic complaints won't get you very far. While Arsenicum Album treats those conditions you mentioned, there are many more remedies (3000+). If you felt some benefit from one dose, I'd recommend that you continue with your homeopath for repeat doses or a possible change of potency or remedy. What is important to the homeopath is the nature of the anxiety (characteristics, somatic experience and how it affects YOU. This may take more than one visit. One wouldn't expect to have their life in perfect order with one visit to a therapist.
A good website for homeopathic history and case studies and books on the subject is Dana Ullman's site:
www.homeopathic.com
If any of you on this blog are interested in finding a qualified practicioner, I'd suggest going to the National Organizations.
National Center for Homeopathy
North American Society of Homeopaths
Meanwhile, all the best to you and all,
Mary Ellen Turner, RSHom (NA), CCH

Re: Anyone ever dealt with a chronic situation with homeopathy?
Sat, April 26, 2008 - 12:09 AMnot homeopathy but...
my ex boyfriend had some excellant results treating his anxiety with amino acids, htp (5?) and Gaba and stuff. he read a book called "the mood cure" or something to that effect. I noticed a big difference. Amino acids are present naturally in your body but can become out of balance. I know know this is an old post, but if you're still looking, hope this helps.
