Thanks – not a good week as another new patient phoned this morning to say she wouldn’t be able to make her appointment tomorrow morning but would phone and rearrange – if only!!! However I did have a new patient today who turned up who I will try to help. Have sorted out what remedy I think he needs but he is on so much medication+ steroids that I really don’t know if it will get through. Gave him a dry dose and also made up a Water potency to take daily . I am not one of those homeopaths who won’t prescribe if a patient is on allopathic medication as I have seen the good homeopathy can do under these circumstances. The up side of not having a patient in tomorrow morning is that I can go to my spin class as usual!!

Hi Rochelle,
I look at this as gift from the universe. For some reason, the consultant intervened and it is most likely for the best. Whenever I have tried too hard to make things happen I am reminded why I should have let it be. You can put your energy into your current clients in practice and offer the best service possible.
Homeopathy is such a humbling profession.
All the best,
Lora
Hi Susan,
I can’t find anything out now she has cancelled her initial consultation!! I’m afraid in this world Consultants of all types are God to some patients and there is nothing we can do about it but accept it!!
Regards
Rochelle

Rochelle,
You need more info.
Is her consultant a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, psychopharmacologist?
Is she bipolar I or II? Meaning, has she been hospitalized for the condition for a hypermanic episode (I) or not (II)
Is she a rapid cycler, how often does she go between mania to depression?
Does she have more depression than mania? Usually that is more common
Does she have parents or relatives with bipolar, depression, etc?
What meds does she take? How long has she been taking?
What age was she diagnosed? Had first episode?
Bipolar depression is not treated the same as depression, allopathically, you don't give depression drugs for depression during bipolar which can cause mania, Anti-manic, anti-epileptic drugs are used, Tegretol, Depakote, Lithium and others. Many people need more than 1 drug to manage their condition.
There are lots of flavors to bipolar. If clearly inherited, then her constitutional remedy is required and the occasional antimiasmatic intercurrent helps further.
While I know you don't use LMs, much improvement happens with C potency, depending on her biplar condition, how many drugs, etc. , she may not need LMs. Actually, her similimum will force her to reduce or stop taking meds as progress is made. The drugs will begin to be too much.
You've read my posts, I was on lithium for 35 years and now am not except if needed occasionally.
During C potency I was able to go from 900mg to 300mg lithium. Then with LMs the past year, able to stop completely. I can interchange lithium with my constitutional anti-psoric in LM potency without the usual 3 week or more wait period for lithium blood levels to build up to detectable allopathically effective levels.
That is quite remarkable and unheard of in psychiatry and only further proves the genius of Hahnemann!
Don't give up!

Susan
