Arsenic Album 90 restlessness can also result from mental overwork causing increased sensitivity of the kidneys. In cases of diseases of the bladder, prostate and kidneys, where Arsenic alone is indicated but does not help, the addition of Phosphorus will help when given separately. This combination of Arsenic and Phosphorus is also useful in the cancer of the prostate. In my experience this also helped in a case of terminal cancer with limited life expectancy - the patient was helped by the grace of God and lived peacefully for another year. Chilliness – the Arsenic patient is very chilly and feels cold. The patient feels better for heat (feeling of heat) except for stomach ailments and headaches which is better for cold (feeling of cold). Headache is better with the application of pressure. Nausea and vomiting - Arsenic Alb patients can have severe nausea and vomiting. Periodicity of symptoms - the relapse of symptoms at a particular time, such as in migraine, recurs every seven to fourteen days. The headache is better with cold applications. If acute headache is not treated properly in the Arsenic individual it can become chronic and move to the joints. Aggravation after midnight - the symptoms are worse at night. The patient is afraid of being alone and is anxious. When the disease progresses the patient will not find any relief even in company. Menorrhagia and menstrual problems - many a time uterine ailments can change into mental symptoms of anxiety and restlessness, with fear of death and depression. If menses are stopped suddenly with medicine and the mental symptoms appear this is not a good sign. The symptoms become chronic with offensive vaginal discharges with blood clots. The patients have mental symptoms of restlessness as well as general body pains. Arsenic will relieve all symptoms if indicated and gets rid of toxins from the body. In these cases Kali Iodide and Arsenic Iodide combined or given separately are also of benefit. In addition, Sulphur and Pyrogenium 200 given together is very effective in such cases. It will clear the infection and associated symptoms.
