Hi Sameer,
it has been 6 days since sulphur 30. my son still wakes up once or twice and asks for hug and he wants me to hug him for like 2 minutes. he doesn't cry he just called me and sit in his bed waiting for me to go to his room. sometimes around 5 or 6 in the morning he would come to our bed . sometimes he grinds his teeth during sleep. about fighting with sleep, he still does it but apparently there are nights that he won't be able to continue fighting and falls sleep in like 30 minutes.
he has had a very mild cold since 3 days ago and he is definitely better today. lots of green crusts came out of his nose during the past 3 days. looks like the nose is clear (very good). and the right eye was so full of tear (remember blocked duct) but now there is no symptom.
the most important problem right now is his bowel movement. he has it every 2-3 days and the amount of stool is so much, the stool is large and kind of hard. as a result he afraid of bowel movement. for example today he tries it 5-6 times (in different positions: sitting on his potty, with diapers on, with just pants on and no diapers). every time the urge comes naturally and then he pushed and then he hold it back. sometimes he would move intentionally so that he can't poop.
can we choose a remedy without paying attention to his characteristics (as some of them have changed)?
Thank you so much,
Beth

What is the status on the following:
1)Obstinacy
3)Messy
4)Desire to uncover feet at night
5)Bites nails
Also, his bowel movement was good on the Phosphorus ?

1) not any more
2) definitely less than before sulphur. no more complain here.
3) yes, still want them uncover (not all the time though)
4) not any more
his bowel movement was definitely better when I gave him phos.
in terms of being independent before sulphur: now he is very dependent, there are nights that he wants to fall into sleep in our bed with me beside him and then I transfer him to his bed after he goes to sleep and he knows that I will put him in his bed(I tell him).
Thank you

Hi Sameer,
It has been another week. he still has this bowel movement problem. plus his sleep. at night he has started fighting again plus he wants me to either sleep besides him or sit there by his bed. sometimes he comes to our bed and goes to sleep there and then I would put him in his bed. he also wakes up once or twice per night.
could you please kindly tell me what to do? I am dying for a sound sleep for my self.
as always appreciate your time.

What about his general behaviour, what was the effect of Sulphur on that front ?
sameervermani last decade
he had some issues like being very messy, biting nails, obstinacy which they are all gone. I can't say that he is showing same symptoms when you advised sulphur for him. he is totally different. he is good in sharing, kind, and clean and in general well behaved. he doesn't cat-nap anymore. he doesn't wake up at 1 and instead he wakes up usually around 3 am and wants hug and then would go back to sleep. the only issues right now is his sleep and his bowel movement.
he grinds his teeth in sleep.
what do you think of calc-c? or maybe phos?

Sameer,
when I mentioned his behaviours I didn't mean that sulphur causes him to turn inot a well-behaved kid. I was trying to say that he is well-behaved as he has been always (almost always).
I really don't see any sulphur picture here, except for sleep fighting.
do we really need sulphur 200 for him?
I really afraid of 200s for him. (as a quick reminder he had a near-proving case with lyc 200 and silica 200. and since silica 200 he still has this stuffy nose which before that we never had to clean his nose, now we have to do it almost everday and sometimes it is bloody.)

'I can't say that he is showing same symptoms when you advised sulphur for him. he is totally different. he is good in sharing, kind, and clean and in general well behaved.'
^^ This made me feel that Sulphur benefitted him mentally ?

I understand. I will give him sulphur 200 as instructed.
if you don't mind, I feel more comfortable if I update you every 2-3 days just to make sure he doesn't prove sulphur.
would it be ok?
many thanks,
Beth

Thank you so much.
sulphur 200 I have at home is expired!! so will get back to you probably in 4-5 days.
one more thing I have to add: recently he prefers his father to me, my mother-in-law to me and many times when I ask him to give me a hug he just says no. of course at night he is the opposite and if he wakes up and his father goes to his room he would say 'go away' to him and wants me to hug him and kiss him.
please note that I do everyhting I can to keep him busy and happy. but sometimes I have to be serious. it looks like that he is getting tired of me. I don't think this is normal.

Hi Sameer,
last night it was about 4 am that my son came to our bed. he curled up himself and wanted me to hug him. then he started shivering and his feet was so cold. he had a very good cover on him plus me hugging him really close but his shivering continued for like an hour, on & off. today he has a runny nose with yellowish discharges and stringy. he sneezes from time to time. he doesn't have any fever though.
he is in a good spirit and playing and running around.
please let me know if I should wait or give him another remedy. I haven't got the sulphur 200 yet. will get it tomorrow.
thank you for your attention,
Beth

Dear Sameer,
Please see my previous posting as well.
tonight again he had a little bit of shiveriing at the time he went to bed. he also has mild jerks.
one more thing I have to add: he had bowel movement yesterday, today around noon and again today around 5 pm. the interesting thing is that even with the last one the stool was pretty big specially the first part of his stool was like big hard balls, really big balls.

If the remedy was stored away from heat and sunlight, it will not expire.
You can give the old Sulph 200c.

Hi Sameer,
I gave sulphur to my son yesterday afternoon. last night we had a little fighting before sleep situation. then he woke up at 1:20 am and he didn't go back to sleep until 2:30 and he was tossing and turing like he couldn't stay in a position for even one minute. he wanted me to hug him and sleep beside him in his bed (actually crib). the he wanted milk. anyhow I ended up giving him a bottle of milk and stay in his bed until he went back to sleep. his body was hot and he wanted his feet uncover. so many of these are returned symptoms. I hope these are aggrivations.
I am sending these for the monitoring purpose. Thank you.

Hi Sameer,
I understand that we should wait for a week, but as I said before I really feel more comfortable and secure if I send these updates whenever I see some symptoms.
He doesn't want to sleep in his bed and he asked if he can sleep on the floor which I said no(this is a returned symptom which we haven't had any issue for the past month). he is trying his best but for some reason he can't do that. as a result he comes to our bed to fall into sleep and then we put him in his bed.
nail biting (return)
very snugglish and wants to be hugged whenever possible (return)
poor apetite
kind of lazy, he doesn't move around as much as before. it might be related to his cold which I believe he still has a little bit of that.
I totally understand that my posts are just FYI and I shouldn't expect any response.
many thanks

now I can say for sure that he doesn't want to sleep in his bed because even for his afternoon naps he would come to our bed.
he is very mild and shy and soft!!!

Hi Sameer,
Can you please take a look at my following symptoms and let me know if a remedy can be advised based on these:
it has been a week that I cough. they were mild at first and since yesterday they are getting stronger. I have to clear my throat cause I feel like there is something there and the taste is salty. sometimes the coughs are so deep sometimes not. when I sleep on my back they are worse. warm drinks make them better. in hot stuffy room they are worse. since today I feel a little bit of buring sensation in my throat or maybe a feeling of a tiny scratch.
that's about all.
many thanks,
beth

3 doses of arsenicum album 6c please.
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,
I owe you a big thank you for advising ars-alb for myself. coughs went away in 4 days. sorry really didn't get a chance to report back sooner.
as for my son:
It has been almost 2 weeks since I gave sulphur 200c to my son. By the end of first week, he would sleep around 9:30 at night without any fight. in fact he would become very sleepy that he prefers to go to sleep rather than fight back and stay up. by the end of first week he would sleep until 5-6 am (such a huge improvement) and then around 5 or 6 he would come to our bed. then we went for a 7-day vacation (now we are back home). now he doesn't sleep well as before but I suppose it is because of the vacation. he wants to sleep in our bed or wants me to sleep besides him in his bed.
anyhow, Please let me know what you think.
once again I thank you for your helps.

Thank you, I will update in 10 days.
I have 2 questions whenever you get a chance to take a look at these I really appreciate it:
1. last night for unknown reason he woke up several times and many times he put his hands over his eyes and shut his eyes really hard with his eyebrows frown. he asked me to turn on the light and finally I had to take him to our bed but eventhough he couldn't sleep very well. he would wake up and wanted me to hug him really tight. since this morning he sneezes and everytime it is a dobule sneeze (2 sneezes at a time). his eyebrows are red as if you paint them red, specially in the center and they sre a little bit itchy.
do you want me to give him anything?
2. tomorrow we are leaving for a 2-month trip. the destination has 9 hours time difference to where we live now. so we will have jet lag. is there anything we can take for that specific purpose? any other suggestion for taking care of jet lag is appreciated (specially for my son).
many thanks,
Beth
