Been dealing with sharp burning shooting pain in feet. I see you suggest Phytolacca & sulfur. Is it safe & and want to know the success rate in relieving the condition or is there something else better? What does it cost ? What are the side effects. I have severe IBS , chronic sinusitis & Sciatica. Thank you.
Dear Dr. Shama,

Hi there!
I’ve been diagnosed with Brachial Neuritis on the left side which is causing my left hand to be 50% numb, have about 10% of its strength, and I have a range of nerve pains through my forearm, elbow, shoulder and deep inside below my armpit. I’m normally fit and healthy without too many aches and pains. I’m 46 and have three young girls so the pain is challenging and debilitating when chasing them around. I’m looking for any therapies that might help improve my situation and allow me to get back to a normal life. It’s been 5weeks now and I’m starting to loose my mind and really want to avoid the prescribed painkillers because they make me quite drowsy. Can you help in any way? I would be most grateful!! Thank you in advance!
I have managed to source Causicum 200 and Paris Q 200 but am not sure how I should be taking these / in what dose so any advice would be welcomed.
Best regards
Kyle
Hi,
I have notalgia parasthetica on my back. I got it a few years ago, out of no where, it just appeared one day. At first I thought it was a very itchy rash, but my doctor told me it’s something called notalgia parasthetica. It causes me absolutely no pain, although I have unrelated back pain once in a while, but the notalgia parasthetica on my back is severely itchy almost every minute of every day. I can’t stop scratching my back. Is there a homeopathy that helps with notalgia parasthetica?
I have this too. Did you figure out what to take?
I have this for years and just found out the name to this. I even discolored my skin in one spot just from all the scratching. Its travelled from my upper left shoulder blade to in between the blades. Searching for homeopathic remedy to eliminate itching.
Hi Dr Sharma, I am an ovarian cancer patient currently in remission. I have not taken chemo or radiation but has had 3 surgeries in the last 4 years. Since my last surgery in April 2021, I am experiencing nerve pain especially in my arms and legs. I am on gaberpintin which eases the pain a bit. What do you think I need for this condition?

Would there be a homeopathic remedy that could help with a chronic cough due to chronic hypersensitivity cough. The nerves in my throat misfire and cause a chronic cough. It’s so embarrassing and life disrupting.
I am experiencing sciatic nerve pain, moved recently after two years on right side to the left side now. Pain is unbearable at night so no sleep. Warm compresses worked for right side, but ice, warmth does not work for left side. Cannot take pain meds since I have had gut issues in the past. I took 1M, 1 pellet of Ignatia & it worked, pain was gone. Next day it is back, not as severe. I took a CBD infused
