The ABC Homeopathy Forum

7 yr old boy with Nocturnal enuresis

My son is dry all day... this only occurs during sleep. He is a VERY deep sleeper! We've tried the waking him up to go, but it's near impossible! He's usually dry until at least midnight... so he's not wetting right away... he's never been dry at night... just occasional mornings he'll wake with a dry pull-up. He's getting to the age now that it's affecting him/ he feels embarrassed/ wants to go to sleep overs with friends but won't because of this!

ALSO: our naturopath is the one that thought since Lycopodum Clav is his constit. remedy, and it incorporates this problem within it, it would take care of it... it has not... it's been over six months since we started this treatment.

It cannot be his constitutional if it is not curing his problems. That is impossible. The right remedy will solve such things without too much trouble. Whatever the naturopath believes, it is simply the wrong medicine for him.

There is certainly not enough information here to prescribe on. It is possible someone here can help you but a full case must be posted. I will post my intake form as an example. Either myself or someone else may take it up.

Just as an aside, very few naturopaths have the proper training to use homoeopathy. In the past some naturopathic degrees incorporated some homoeopathic training, but it was woefully inadequate, so unless he or she did some extra training (3-5 years worth) then I would avoid going to naturopaths for homoeopathy.

1. Describe in detail the main problem - appearance, colour, shape, sensation, pain. etc. What happens, when it happens etc.

2. Describe any pains or behaviours associated with the symptoms.

3. Describe anything that makes the problem worse ie. position, temperature, food etc.

4. Describe anything that makes the problem better ie. pain is better for cold bathing or at night in bed.

5. Go through each symptom or problem he/she has, doing the same thing, even if the problem does not seem connected to any others (repeating answers for questions 1-4 for every problem)

6. When did each problem start? What happened around that same time?

7. What is his/her character like? What kinds of fears or anxieties does he/she have? What makes him/her irritable? Flesh out his/her personality as much as you are able (age can make this difficult)

8. What foods does he/she crave or hate? What drinks does he/she crave or hate? Is he/she sensitive to anything he eats or drinks? How does he/she feed?

9. How does the weather or season or temperature affect him/her?

10. How have all his/her milestones gone? Does he/she have any issue with speaking, learning, walking, climbing etc

11. How is he/she with socializing with others?

12. What is his/her bowel habit like? Any problems? Any odours, strange colours or stool shapes?

13. Where does he/she sweat? Does it have a smell or does it stain a particular colour?

14. History of illnesses in his/her life?

15. Has he/she reacted to any vaccines or medical drugs?

16. Problems with sleep? Position he/she sleeps in?

17. How is he/she with animals?

18. How is he/she with adults or strangers?

19. What is the family history of illness and disease?

20. What was the pregnancy like? Any odd symptoms or feelings that disappeared once he/she was born? Any symptoms that were problematic? What kind of stresses were you under?

My son is also 7 and wets his bed every night. He had when he was an infant urethral reflux, but at the age of 2 the problem was already solved. He doesn-'t have problems with school, nor climbing, he is very courageous, but he is very affraid of and during darkness. Even if we have lights turned in every room, he won't go alone to another room. He doesn't have problems with socializing, he is very friendly, but he get offended very easily. I had enurezis until I turned 15 and think it is ereditary. Sometimes he has problems with sleep, when he wakes up after wetting his bed, it may happen he cannot get asleep for hours. he loves animals, is very conffident in strangers. During pregnancy my back hurt, and the problem dissapeared soon after he was borned. His problem gets worse in winter, and better in summer. He is too self-critical an when he is upset, he needs consolation. Sometimes it seems that he gets upset only to get pitty, consolation. Can someone help us? Thank you.

He suffers a lot when disapointed by his friend, bat he is also very dissapointed of himself. He gets very upset when I say he has done something wrong. When he doesn't make his homework right, he starts to cry and say he would never learn how to do this right. When he is very furious he usualy cries, an then come in my arms. He had received Pulsatilla ch 200, but it didn't work on him, then Stramonium ch9 each night before bedtime. It works a bit better, he doesn't wet every night, however it happens quite often and when stopped, after a month, he starts wetting his bed again.
