Att: Dr. Sameer - looking for a constitutional remedy _{Page 7 of 9}

Hi Sameer,

I gave the boy Lachesis LM3 (three drops in 250 water and one spoonful) a week ago.

After three days he was constipated. And he never is constipated, so that must be due to Lachesis. That went by in a day.

Afterwards he was itching on the joints of arms. He was scratching himself for a day or two. It went by, but you can see the scubs.

So I have not given another dose yet. Should I give the same three drops or less? And when?

Maria

Hi Sameer,

I gave him 2 drops in 250 ml of water 6 days ago. I have not repeated the dose because:

- he has so much energy. I would like to have that energy, but when he has that level....hmmm... he is hyper. The teacher said he is restless. He is speaking out loud. Good mood though, but there is too much of everything.

- no itching, but still dry eczema on the joint of arms and legs.

Please advise

Maria

Hi Sameer,

since you were gone around my last question, I waited before I gave the next dose. I waited so long as the boy became normal. Then I gave the next dose.

Well, after two days he was moody. He was so sad that life is always the same, nothing exciting happens, the summer holiday is not there...

Then I waited for the next two days and he became very energetic again.

Despite these ups and downs he is not difficult at all. But he is quite tired all the time, because he does not sleep enough. We live up north and the nights are short. And he has eczema on his arms.

Shall I give a dose again?

Maria

Hi Sameer,

It's been nearly six months I last time wrote you. I am glad to see you are still around! The boy has been fine during that time. Now the situation has changed.

His skin is dry all over the body, like sandpaper,and there is very bad eczema (especially) on his left arm.

His behavioral problems are almost the same. Well, he has a bit more social skills and flexibility, but when hurt, he looks for revenge and can be violent. When frustrated, he starts teasing the little brother. He also says he cannot stand if somebody tells him to obey (mostly he does obey, but he hates that).
The teacher says he is highly intelligent, learns fast and ahead of other children of his age, but is not satisfied with his behavior. He was fighting the other day and the boy was proud of it.

He still has troubles in writing. The letters just drop off while writing.

He has not been hawking for these past six months, but just during the last few weeks, he has started doing it again.

In general his mood is dynamic and happy. Maybe he is a bit too energetic, and that's why there is problems at school.

The new thing is that it is difficult to get him to bed in the evenings. He tries to be awake as long as possible(I don't know why). So there are black circles around eyes.

I read my first posting from the first page. I feel hopeless: nothing has changed in these past two years. I could write that all again. So please ask me specific questions what do you need to know.

Last time I gave Lachesis LM3.

Maria

I checked the chain: first Lachesis 200, then LM2, afterthis LM3.

No Lachesis 1M or LM1.

Can you go backwards? I thought you always go one way.

maria

I see. I will order that and get back to you.

In case you have already an idea what else I should order, please let me know asap.

maria

Hi Sameer,

It is 7 days since I gave him Lachesis 1 M.

Before I start telling the symptoms, I have to tell you something that is affecting everybodys' life nowadays. We are divorced and I moved out two weeks ago. We still live close by, and both boys will be staying one week at my place and one week at my husbands' place.
So this all is affecting them. In addition I cannot monitor the boys every day and see how the remedy is working. This week there is three days I did not see them and cannot comment.

Day 1: His voice went down and hoarse. (He already had a cold for 5 days, sneezing and blowing the nose)
Day 2. eczema on the left eyelid. Went by in two days
Day 3. Restless, agnry, impatient
(Then I did not see him...The father said that he was a bit in a bad mood.)
Day 7: Mood is good and he is calm.He showed empathy towards me saying that I must fell lonely and he should have visited me. THIS is rare.

Hi Sameer,

It is 10 days I wrote you last time. You asked me to report after 2 weeks, but I won't be seeing the boy during the next 7 days, so I'll tell you about these 10 days.

The boy has been sulking a lot. Around Christmas he disagreed on everything and went to his room yelling 'go away'. He stayed there for 2 hours and came back happy.
There has never before been this kind of sulking. Normally the boy is out loud, when upset.

But during last five days he has been fine. He has been behaving nicely, even if there was something he disagreed.

Three days ago there was a little nosebleed. (He has had terrible nosebleeds this autumn).

The boys will be living with me the following week. Then I can monitor him again.

Maria

Hi Sameer,

The boy is different than normally. The reason must be the divorce:

He is moody. Not all the time, but in general.

He eats less than normally. Likes eating sweet things.

He sleeps really, really bad. Cannot fall asleep. He is tense. He wants me to stay with hime as long as he is finally sleeping. For the first time in his life he has started walking when sleeping. Wakes up several times and early. Has black circles around eyes and is pale.

The skin is itching. Everywhere. There is only eczema in arms.
The skin is dry.

He is hugging me more than ever before in his life. He is attached to me (for the first time ever). Sits in my lap. Says he has been missing me (even than we have seen each other every three days).

He is afraid. Says he cannot fall asleep, because his room is too big (not really) and there is no shade on the bed.
I read worry in his eyes. It is normal than children's trust for adults and for life collapses in divorces.

His been behaving well. I keep thinking that because he has noticed life is not trustful it is better behave well...

I think it is healthy that he is reacting. It is better to react than keep everything inside hidden. And of course I am sad seeing my child is sad. In the same time I enjoy that the boy is easy for me...

I wonder should we do something?

Maria

No shade:

I moved out from out house. There the boy is sleeping up high, the roof is close, he cannot see much but the roof.
In my flat he sleeps in a normal bed. Down there.

He has been asking if we could build up some kind of 'nest' upon the bed. Like a tent above. Or turn the cupboard so that he cannot see the whole room.

hmmm...This is a difficult question. I can only guess. A child cannot analyze.

I think the fundamental problem is that his life, his world has fallen apart. It is a question of trust. He always thought we will never divorce. (Actually I promised him that a year ago...). Trust is a basic question for children: everybody needs someone who is stonger than he is.

No, he is not afraid of being alone. That is a secondary problem. And when he is missing me, is a secondary problem.

The boy is sitting next to me and I asked if he is feeling deceived. He says no.

But can a child estimate this kind of question? I am deceived, so I can imagine there is some kind of chain reaction.

The boy refuses to talk about the divorce and his feelings. The problem is so fundamental that he cannot evaluate the feelings.

That's why I say again the fundamental trust. Until last year he thought he can do anything, but nobody will abandon him and everything stays the same. Maybe now he understands that there is nothing realible in the world.
One of the fundamental fears all human beings have is a fear of being abandonned.

I have Ignatia 1 M at home. Can I give that? As pills or as dissolved in water?

Okey, I have to order 200 c. Unfortunately it takes time. And then the boy will not be living with me. So it will take two weeks before I can give him 200 c.

So are you sure I cannot give him 1M...? Under these circumstances?
