To Pankaj Varma

Thank you very much.

8 yrs old
on the thinner side
little or no thirst, loves carbonated drinks
suffers from constipation and blocked nose, mainly right
constipated from birth
looks emanciated suddenly like now with spring allergies, skin gets dark in color
dry hair
dandruff
does not like show of affection
does well in school, shy to speak to others but friendly
often covers her face with blanket in morning , does not want to interact with me ( baryta carb ?? 200 seemed to help her some, wrong potency ?)
plays alone , sometimes becomes active then calms down again
very difficult to wake up in the morning
can stay awake late into night



has swelling under and over eyes especially right eye , more on waking in the morning, kali carb helps her sometimes, helped me very much in my pregnancy
has blue veins under eye outer corners also
black spots on the cornea
chapped lips
teeth development not proper
premature loss of front upper teeth probably runs in family
alleged schizophrenia also in family but no seizures i know of

during allergy season also suffers from red eyes

most effective medicine on her was nitric acid 200 when she was around 4 years old, continuous runny nose, urine smelt like horse's urine
symptoms went away with one dose, symptoms never returned with that intensity
the ear infections also went away

loves to listen to music , can listen to ipod all day
shrieks and tosses about at night when nose troubles begin
body is stiff in general , not good at all at playground stuff

I have given her nitric acid 200 a couple of times, probably every allergy season, never produced the dramatic effect. I was wondering whether I should go to 1 M . She did have severe reactions after vaccinations, gave her Thuja 30 and she responded at that time, but maybe I should have given 200. Same with Pulsatilla gave her 30
not much effect, she does not like to bathe at all. So what would you suggest I start with Pulsatilla 200 ?

Yes, thanks to this site and people like you I got the strength and courage to understand things on my own. It has been very empowering.

Waiting for your further suggestion.
Problem is that after I give her Pulsatilla 200 she will probably need more medicines and I need some direction. I am really confused about the potency also.Generally I have found that 200 suits her better but I am afraid to go higher.

You are absolutely right. I was wondering how to put it to you. She absolutely refuses to eat burfis etc, however she does enjoy ice creams , cakes but they do her no good. Also she has a 'reaction' to almost all kinds on foods . Actually she does not ever eat a full meal out of the home, that is, she is a very sketchy eater in public places.

Actually my menses have been pretty regular, a little earlier and almost pain free throughout my life, so that does not apply.

Tried to read about about miasma. It was very confusing. I read somewhere in the forum about your mentioning the 'nitric acid ' miasma. That is when I remembered my wonderful experience with it. I am glad to know that Thuja falls in the same category. Now i am thinking more along the lines of Thuja 200. She does have very dry hair, particularly a patch on back right side starting from her birth along with a lot of dandruff.

Actually, I tried to place her in the oxygenoid/ hydrogenoid type of thing. I think she is a hydrogenoid but i could be totally wrong.

As regards open air, she is fifty/fifty , does not hate it but does not hate it either. Maybe it is a little more on the dislike side .

correction : does not like it but does not hate it either.

Thank you.
I have to procure Thuja 200. This may take some time, a week or so. I will give her the medicines and post updates.

would like to report back with my update to you.
The online store took a very long time to ship the thuja 200 as the correct pill size was not available. In the meantime, i was giving antihistamine along with pseudoephedrine to my daughter for her allergies. This controlled her allergies. I then gave her nux vom 6c a couple of times. Once i got the thuja i waited sometime as she had just come off the allopathy course of medicines.
The first signal i get from her before she falls sick is that her sleep becomes VERY disturbed. (In general she has been a very disturbed sleeper as i mentioned in previous post. ) As this started again, i gave her the Thuja 200c. The next night her sleep was EVEN MORE disturbed. Next morning i started with the Puls 30c . That night she had the most restful sleep. I HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A QUICK CHANGE IN HER SLEEP PATTERN BEFORE. She had her head on the pillow all night. Also in the morning her sleep was not so deep that it became difficult to wake up. She also looked a lot fresh after waking up. This continued for next two days. I think her sensitivity to spicy food also decreased somewhat. Constipation was the same as before.
Yesterday after 3 days i stopped Puls. Last night again her sleep was slighlt disturbed. What do you recommend now ? Shall I continue Puls. What would be the maintenance course for her ? I know from past experience, at the end of summer she will have severe coughing .
I thank u for your brilliant diagnosis. Pulsatilla was the last medicine i would have thought likely.
Please advise further. I would also like to get help for my problems. I have also got help from your previous posts here, when your predicted symptoms for “selenium” matched exactly. I would like to continue in further posts.
I also gave her puls 30c 3 times instead of 2. My mistake.

Will keep up with my daughter's treatment.

Currently, I am suffering from heel pain ( mainly left ) morning on getting up from bed. It goes away after walking a little. Throughout the day when i stand up after sitting , there comes a mild pain. It is particularly true after meals, especially lunch. I have a weak right wrist too which is painful if i use it too much ( i took ruta grav 200c one dose , the wrist pain subsided , as i remember it is a old injury) .
I have lots of stomach/colon problems. No gastric pains. Severe constipation tendency from childhood. Allergies also. I had asthma. Burning pain near heart sometimes and a wheezing sometimes from that location. I took Nyquil for my cough. That is when the foot pain started. I had lots of abcesses on my legs and feet in childhood. They refused to heal for months. I am on the heavier side, considerable grey hair on the front and sides.
I was looking at Carbo veg. Sometimes even Aurum Sulphate seems to match. On one occasion i had distinct trembling of hands after alcohol. I have stopped since then. I had hyperthyroid T4 which responded very well to Calc carb in my childhood . I cannot tell anything about the dosage etc. I have not been tested in a long time.

Berberis tincture will be hard to get here in US. I will try and get back to you.

My daughter is again shrieking in the sleep especially in the morning. Sleep has again become disturbed though better than before. Three days back she was even sticking her feet out of the sheets. Have not given nitric acid today. I plan to give nitric acid today. Please advise further. Overall she looks more healthy, though eyelid swelling is also increasing.

I will get berberis 6c online for myself.
