Homeopathy, Re: Anyone develop trigeminal neuraligia after getting into chelation??

[Guest guest]

Hi Jada,

You probably already know that it's best to see a homoeopath so they can

individualise the remedy to suit you. Trigeminal neuralgia is the broad

term - but things like whether hot or cold make it better, do you want

to pace the floor or stay completely still, do you wake in the middle of

the night with it or find that it feels better after you've managed to

sleep - these sorts of details make the difference between finding a

remedy that works instantly and permanently and a remedy that has no

impact at all - not because it won't help neuralgic pain, but because it

doesn't help the same type of neuralgic pain that you have.

So probably one of the most important thing to do is to watch yourself

during an attack - what do you do, how do you seek relief, does anything

divert you, what makes it worse, what becomes intolerable, how does your

mood change, do you clam up or become explosive, are you thirstier - do

you want warm things or cold things, sweet or salty, darkness, sunlight,

is there a time of the day/night when things feel better or worse - is

there an idea or phrase that repeats itself to you. Doing this will help

to form an individualising snapshot and from that you'll have a good

picture to either support your choice of one of your remedies or to take

along to a homeopath.

Just as an example some of the first aid remedies that might help and

you may have:

Arnica is an amazing remedy particulary when there has been trauma as

the initiating cause, but it's not one of the top ranking neuralgic pain

remedies.

Belladonna would suit intense throbbing pain, especially if there is

heat and redness and it's on the right side. (Had a friend who used this

one and said - 'from the moment I took it I began to feel alive again')

Aconite - from cold draughts or after being out in a cold wind, if

there's congestion and also some numbness - sudden onset, fear and

anxiety (this one can help to calm even if it doesn't help the pain)

Spigelia - left sided, pains at regular intervals, jerking, tearing,

spreading to the neck and involving the eyes.

Arsenicum - burning, agonising, at first helped by a cold application

but then made worse by it. Better for warmth, restless, doesn't want to

be still, will toss in the bed, anxious, a chilly person who likes to

hug the fire.

Chamomilla - intolerable pains - can be worst 9 am or 9 pm. Worse at

night and from warmth, great thirst, heat and redness, hot sweat,

toothache, earache, neuralgia of face and neck. Hard to be around, will

demand something and then probably throw it back at you as soon as you

give it to them.

Some of the Kali remedies have intense nerve pain, as do Mag Phos

(better for warmth and pressure), and metals - Stannum (tin),silver,

zinc, platinum - I have a couple of pages in my quick reference book

with similar very brief pictures to those above, so it's a bit hard to

say specifically which one to try first - You've probably got a working

knowledge already of the remedies that you have, so if you did think

that one of your remedies seemed to match, my personal approach (which

I'm not recommending that you follow) would be to go carefully, try one

at a time - dose every 15 minutes when you're in pain - if it hasn't

worked after 4 doses move onto something else. Stop if you feel worse

in yourself or if the symptoms change - these indicate that it's

probably not the right remedy for you. Stop and wait if you get worse

because you should then get better soon. Stop if you get better and once

you are better don't repeat the remedy unless you get worse again. If

you find a remedy that works but you need to keep repeating it often,

there will probably be a better one for you, so it would be best to get

expert advice.

Just mentioning the Kali remedies also prompts the thought that

Potassium and/or Magnesium imbalance could be part of the physical

triggering.
