Hi Shannon,
Your issue sounds like pretty much a client compliance problem.
The best cure for this is PLACEBO.
I'd suggest a daily dose of sac lac.
-regarding the LM remedy..
From what you've written - I'd say give the LM dose in 2nd dilution
glass, once weekly for a couple of weeks, and see how that goes.
best,

I don't have much experience using LMs, and have some "patients" (aka
"friends and family") who really push my understanding! So I'm hoping
for
input on this... The good news -- my epileptic friend had done well for
a
while on Nat-m LM1, but then had another seizure and stopped taking the
remedy. At the time I asked myself uneasy questions about whether the
seizure might have been brought on by her too-frequent and erratic
dosing
schedule -- it was a *really* difficult situation to work with, as at
the
start of her Nat-m she could barely string two thoughts together to have
a
conversation (or give instructions), so I basically had to just hope for
the
best... But she was ***MUCH*** better after the (?)couple of weeks with
Nat-m, so I decided to leave well enough alone for the time. This was
about
a year ago, and she's been doing rather well since then (in context...).
Last week she had another seizure, quite bad, which sent her into
despair and grieving, so I suggested (take a wild guess) another dose of
her
Nat-m. She said it worked "immediately", felt *much* better, and was
recovering from the seizure (which can take her as much as a few weeks
to
really get over).
Last night she called saying she was feeling worse again, described
feeling groggy, and "as if" she were going to have another seizure, and
"as
if" withdrawing from drugs (some years back she went thru a pretty
unpleasant process of withdrawing from prescribed opiates). I asked how
much of the Nat-m she had taken since we talked the week before, and she
said she'd been taking it more or less daily. (I had not told her to do
that, was waiting for her to call back!)
I thought *perhaps* this is overdose/proving, suggested she take a
single(!!) dose of LM-1 diluted thru an additional two glasses. This
morning she tells me that it worked *very* well (In my mind I'm jumpin'
around, yelling yes, yes!!! with relief!
); she felt sleepy right
after the dose and had the first *good* sleep she has had in "quite a
while", and feels nearly back to normal this morning.
Now my questions:
- Since the first week or so of doses apparently worked well and
without
problems, shall I assume that the only problem was too-frequent dosing
and
that the original single-glass dose is okay *so long as* she repeats
only as
often as *necessary* (I said, see how long this improvement lasts, and
repeat only when you start to relapse, and use that to time future
repetition), or will it be better if she sticks with the extra dilution
glasses?
- Can someone describe the difference in effect between (a) dose from
first
dilution glass repeated, say, every week (let's assume that's what "as
needed" works out to in this case) versus (b) extra dilution glasses?
If
the doses are extra-dilute does it become appropriate to re-dose more
frequently, or are the two factors not really connected?
Altho she does not fit the "typical" picture of nat-m -- at least not
the
one that *I* had formed -- I do think this remedy could be a deep fit
for
her, and last year on reading more about it was really struck by
correspondences that I hadn't been aware of. I'd like her to stay with
the
remedy and see how far it can take her, but I really, really, really am
nervous about getting her on the right dosage, so all input will be
appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Shannon
