Hello Sameer,
This is Marika's daughter again updating you with regard to my brother this time.
The primary concern with my mother's previous postings was the fainting symptom so I'll discuss that first. He has felt a bit 'woozy' only once, and he was doing his homework in the living room. He said that for a moment, as he looked up from his books,he felt like he was spinning to the left. It lasted a few seconds, then it was gone.
Mentally, I find him significantly more balanced and mature. it is somewhat easier it seems to communicate his feelings. However, today he kept trying to bargain his way out of the chores I was asking him to do, and working hard to prove he was right. he was laughing, but still very vehement; it seemed like he was having fun proving his sisters wrong. Although he is still very adamant, I think his intensity has lessened in terms of feeling like no one understands him. He likes to form arguments and prove things. When I argued with him about how much sugar he could eat, he got irritated and went to his room to watch television. Again, he didn't cry, but he said something interesting to me. He said, 'It feels like I can't win'. However, he was extra affectionate with me when he came downstairs.He is very affectionate, physically and verbally.
Well, that's all I can think of. I hope it helps. Thank you so much!

Hi Sameer,
Sorry for the late update. In terms of my younger brother, the biggest physical thing I've noticed since we last spoke is that he needs to sleep a lot- he doesn't seem well rested until he's had about 10 hours of sleep. His emotional state usually depends on how much sleep he's had! Generally, he is quite steady, but when discussing a matter of importance, he tears up easily. He is starting to ask very serious questions about life and gets offended if he feels he isn't being treated like an adult.
thank you sameer,

Hello Sameer,
I am reporting back re my son and since November while my daughter was communicating with you we have not spoken, so I am checking in to see if it is time to give him anything.
He is doing well, he is still sensitive but definitely he is growing up, I can see it physically and emotionally, he reasons very well, does not waste his words and he takes quite a bit of responsibility around the house for things like carrying wood into the house, cleaning the yard, etc.
He still snores quite a bit, he has one wart underneath his foot(this one might be new, I have to ask him about it).
The involuntary crying has stopped, he tears up only when he feels there is a reason for it, he still breathes through his mouth because his nose is usually stuffed up-dampness is not good for him-, and when I touch his hands, they are usually clammy or let's say they will get clammy soon if I keep holding them.
He is still a very sensitive caring boy who considers others very easily. One could not call him selfish.
Do I keep waiting and observing?
Thank you
Marika

Hi Marika,
This breathing with mouth open, does it exist during sleep as well ?
What would be the main things you would like to change in him now, if any ?

Yes, the breathing with mouth open exists during sleep as well.
What would be the main things you would like to change in him now, if any ?
I thought about this carefully and:
a) on the physical level his nose being stuffed up causes him to breathe through the mouth which in turn causes sore throats more frequently.
b) on the mental/emotional level
he has a quality that may initially appear as niceness or kindness but underneath there may be a layer of either fear of disapproval or a way of seeking acceptance. -and this happens mostly with people outside of the home, because at home he has no need of approval from anybody, he tells it like it is, most of the time.
I will give an example of this trait. It is described very well by the Bach essence of Agrimony where a person does not want to raise any waves or cause any trouble, wants things to appear smooth and good for others to see.
There is a lot of genuine kindness in his character of course, but in not telling the honest truth about his feelings he eventually puts himself second, in favour of the other person.
An example of this behaviour might be: We are scheduled to be somewhere for 4:00 o'clock and we are late for whatever reason. My son might say, 'Tell them something happened on the way and caused us to be late, or 'something happened with the car.' Most of the time we do not even need to have an explanation, but if we do, I will tell him: 'No, I will tell the truth. We are late. And besides, it is not a big deal if we are 10 minutes late today.'
I am trying to have him see that it is dishonest of us to tell something other than what really happened.
As I listen to his reasoning, I simultaneously feel his feelings and I see that he is nervous about doing something that is not 'the normal, regular thing, so what are people going to think?', or he has some fear inside of him, or he just does not want to displease anybody.
In the house, though, where he is himself, he will say, No, I do not want to do this right now, or leave it till later, or, I don't care.
He is my only child, however who has said: 'Don't tell mom if they have done something bad. In other words, he can lie.
I have a feeling he will eventually grow to realise that it is best to haveintegrity and be truthful to himself first,but I see this trait and I recognize it because I had it too and it took me years and many experiences before I was able to make that shift so I am hoping that my son does not walk that path.
It is a cycle of not wanting to hurt the other person or protecting their feelings by not telling things as they are. There is fear at the base of it all. Or maybe he will do it in his own time.
Am I being too picky with this? It is a very obvious characteristic in his personality because my daughter does not have it.
Thank you.

Hi Sameer,
I forgot to say that he also has on his skin something that looks like a circle, it has little raised pin-like prickles on it and it is reddish, eventhough my son's skin is brown, one can see this slightly red. He also has a little of the same on each eyelid, but very small in size, compare to the one on the collarbone at the base of the throat.
It is not bothersome to him, only it has gotten bigger in size in the last couple of months. It started out as a small little circle and now it is one inch in diameter.

Yes, we can say that. It is not necessarily about the plight of the world, but for his family, his friends, and even people he does not know, if we happen to be around them.
For his friends, he will definitely put himself second so he can give them the best part of his room if they are staying over, or he makes sure that I have cooked the meal that they like, or he makes sure I serve them first. for friends it might not be anxiety, but it is hospitality of an adult degree- a child his age does not think of all those details-.
For the family you could call it anxiety about our wellbeing for sure.
Soon after I came from my trip, I attended a dinner organized by one of the parents in his class, and I arranged to go with another family. As I was leaving, he was asking me questions like 'when are you coming back and who is driving back in the same directon?' Here his anxiety was very obvious even to his sisters, and I said in joke 'I have arranged for everything, you need not be concerned, What are you going to do when I sart dating?' Of course everyone cracked laughing to that silly remark and it helped him to see that he is perhaps overcaring. It is genuine concern but it may be a burden on his soul at such a young age.
So the anxiety is more for family members. We can say for sure that he feels very deeply and adjusts his own behaviour. A really sweet boy.
In the classroom too, his teacher says that come chore time, she relies on him to do way more than the rest, without even much of instruction, he takes the task and finishes it.
thank you,
Marika

Hmm.. so, the symptoms are:
Mind; sympathetic
Mind; responsibility; too much sense of
Mouth; open; sleep during
Hands; clammy
Nails; white spots
These symptoms point to Calcarea Carb.
Please give him 3 doses of Calcarea Carb 30c, (dissolved in water) and report after 2 weeks.

Thank you, I will do this in the morning.
You won't believe this, but I was going to mention
Calcarea because just yesterday he told me that he likes soft boiled eggs and he has been asking for pasta lately.
I will report back in 2 weeks.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,
Marika

Hello Sameer,
We have had an adventure this evening that I would like to discuss.
My son was working with some tools on his bed, forgot a screwdriver on it, then an hour later went back, flopped on the bed and the screwdriver went into his abdomen.
We just came back from the hospital emergency room, he had not perforated the stomach wall, but they gave him staples. He is fine otherwise.
They also gave him a tetanus and diptheria combination booster. He has never had a vaccination for diptheria, but when he was 2 yrs old, he had a cut by a rusty wire in a place where chickens were kept and so I broke and gave him a tetanus shot.
This time I wavered again, but he was leaning toward getting it, he told me ' This way I don't have to worry for the next ten years'
I have not vaccinated any of my children, it is hard for me to say yes to vaccines.
My concern was the mercury in the solution, the nurse checked the ingredients and said there is no mercury in it, but it did have preservatives.
Now what can I do to help this situation? Is there some sort of antidote, should I be concerned>
I have not yet given him the Calcarea, I was planning to give it to him early tomorrow morning.
I would appreciate any advise you may have for me at this point.
Thank you,
Marika

Hold off on Calcarea Carb doses.
Let this acute be over. Hypericum and Ledum are 2 remedies often prescribed for punctured wounds. Both prevent tetanus. Read up on both and whichever is closer, pick that, and administer 3 doses of 30c potency.

sameervermani last decade
I thought of giving Ledum even before going to emergency, but I did not.
Now that he has been given the tetanus shot, would you have concerns about the vaccination itself? Is there something to give him to ward off the negative effects of the vaccine?
I will read on Ledum and Hypericum and proceed.
Thank you as always,
Marika

Dear Sameer,
Thank you about your encouraging words, I checked and I have Hypericum, but I have no Ledum. (this I can buy tomorrow if it is the correct remedy to give.
Is the stomach area considered nerve rich, as the toes and finger ends? If yes, Hypericum may be the remedy of choice. They told us to watch out for inflammation, redness, swelling and pus formation. If these occur, he will need an antibiotic, they said.
Do you think Hypericum might be the correct choice here? As of right this minute he does not have an inflammation aroung the wound.
I would definitely appreciate your opinion.
Thanks

Hi Marika,
If the wound is healing well, there is no need for the remedy.
Ledum has amelioration from cold on injuries, and has purplish discoloration.
I think, if needed, Hypericum would be better.

sameervermani last decade
thank you so much.
I gave him Hypericum yesterday and I feel he will be fine. There is no redness around the wound, neither does it look infected in any way.
Here is an interesting bit of information: He had gone to sleep last night, I thought he was asleep, when I heard him coming downstairs crying, and saying: 'Mom I have to talk about something, I cannot hold it inside anymore' After about another minute of crying, he confessed that it was not a screwdriver that caused this accident, instead, his friend was pretending to sword-fight with a decorative little sword that was found in the closet and he actually cut him not on purpose of course.
The point is, that when he was telling us, he covered up his friend completely because his friend was feeling so badly about the whole incident. So eventhough he was so hurt, he carried the responsibility of protecting his friend's feelings.
This incident further explains what I was trying to relate to you of his personality on the previous post.
Sincerely,
Marika

Dear Sameer,
We just removed the staple stiches today from my son's 'abdomen wound'. It has healed well.
Is it time now to administer Calcarea, or should I wait longer?

Hello Sameer,
I gave my son Calcarea 30C on January 3rd, so it is now time to report back on how he is doing.
I counted some (6) white spots on his fingers the other day, he still has the patch of rash that looks like pin pricks on the right clavicle area, it may even be a little bigger.
He still snores quite loudly, especially when he is tired, and I was listening to him last night for a while, his breathing pattern is not always rhythmic, it becomes intermittent, as if he stops breathing for a bit, then starts breathing again.
He has expressed that he is embarrassed about his snoring when at a friend's house, but for me it is more the fact that his breathing stops. He still sleeps with mouth open.
He is being good with school work most of the time, he is still really caring, mindful and considerate but he is becoming stronger so that he can tell his sister off if she is overbearing sometimes.
Almost always he does what I ask of him.
He seems quite balanced and I would say that he is way more responsible than other children his age.
When I first discussed his health on the forum the 'crying for no reason' was one of the major symptoms, and that does not happen anymore, but he will cry when he feels he is being criticized. It hurts him deeply-he is sensitive.
A summary of some things I am observing:
-he still has white spots on nails
-he still likes red meat, especially when he prepares it himself but he is making a sincere effort to not eat as much
-his perspiration smells even shortly after taking a shower
-he has grown a lot in the last few months, almost 3 inches
-he has one wart at the bottom of his foot, below the big toe
-he breathes through the mouth
If you have any questions, I will be glad to watch him more carefully
thank you,
Marika
