Is this a worsening of her normal symptom though?

okay she just had a bm, SHe cried while she had to go. And while i wiped her. Her anus is red. Her bm had a greenish tinge to it, and it was very sticky to her bum. it was soft but it was hard for her to expel it. I forgot to mention, she always stands and does her bm... does not sit or squat. So now, she's trying to do it her usual way, but it's hurting, so she's trying to squat and spread her legs.
please advise.

How much of that is new? How much is old? How much is exaggerated?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
she's very regular, usually stands tho to have a bm. This is not old.. this is some strange thing that has happened. She has one to two bms a day, no pain, no problem. Sometimes it's hard, but most of the time soft and easy. This time it's some off thing that has happened. And the consistency of the bm is different. The smell is different.

Ok do you have any sulphur?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I have to go out for a few hours. Give her one dose of Sulphur - 30c or 200c, whichever you have (preference for 30c). I will check in again later to see how things have gone.

These symptoms are not specifically known in Sacch so I don't think it is a side effect in the strictest sense of the word. However it is possible her normal chronic state has reacted to the remedy as it would to any traumatic external event, by throwing up extra defences. These will lead to a better prescription for her.

I did have the 30c, so gave her a dose about 3 hours ago. I Will keep u posted on the results.

No change with her. She has the urge again to have a bm, and cannot go, it's hurting her too much. She's crying every time the urge is coming, and doing whatever to avoid going... changing her pants, lying down... etc..
 
karinamom last decade
she had a bm, hurt her a lot, she cried so much. But it was less sticky, more in quantity, but on the harder side, it was strange, two different colors. DId not hurt her when i wiped, anus not red.

Ok keep giving her more doses, I would give her two more today (not sure what time it is there). If it is evening give her one now and then in the morning unless she is mostly better.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
she's about to have dinner, so i have time for one more dose before sleep... same thing, inc taps?
 
karinamom last decade
I am also a bit confused w the frequency of the dosing. How come w some medicines (like the sac 200) dosing again later that day was too soon, but w the sulphur 30, its okay to redose two more times in one day. Is it the type of medicine? Or the potency too that matters? I remember w my son during an acute u suggested china 200, and there were quite a few doses he took in one day.

There are a variety of factors that determine frequency of dosing - mostly it is determined by the reaction of the patient to previous doses. The potency might also determine that to some degree, lower potencies are able to be repeated more often usually. In acutes you will prescribe more often as reactions are quick, in chronics the reactions are slower so you often have to wait longer to see the reactions.

okay.. i gave her another dose this morning. She just had her bm, it was her normal and soft. In terms of pain, she delayed the urge earlier in the day, but when she did end up going, she only cried a bit towards the end. Initially no crying.
Her food cravings have changed since i started the med. She's not eating any fruits (she normally indulges in fruits). She's eating chicken and meat well (normally she fusses with that). She's drinking more water, she's normally not a thirsty person. But the last two days, her thirst is excessive at night, before bed.
 
karinamom last decade
The last two days, she's had a few bms, very small ones, towards the harder side. Her energy and mood is very good, the best, and most consistent she's been. SHe's still having that one wakeup around midnight, but sleeps quickly. Zero pain with the bms. No complaints there.
 
karinamom last decade
Ok this is good news. Sometimes this is what you will find - the wrong remedy (Sacch) makes the right remedy (Sulph) easier to see.

Glad to see both of them getting better at the same time!
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Yes, thank you so much! I sent you an email on your hotmail account.
 
karinamom last decade
She's doing remarkably well. She increased her intake of milk, not by a whole lot, but at least she's drinking some every day. She drinks more water, mostly her thirst still comes in the evening though. She hasn't had a bm issue since that dose of sulphur. She still does it standing though. I think the only thing i'm hoping sorts itself out, is that one wake up she does every night, either at midnight or 3 am, like clockwork. Thank you!!!

She's been well overall, except for one main issue. Stool withholding. She hasn't had any colds, or eye issues. Her sleep has improved, except for one wakeup which is mainly to use the washroom. She wakes up dry most days since she uses the washroom just once in the night around 1am.
Her rectum is sensitive, even to touch. When I clean her when she's pooped, she winces and yells don't touch it.
She screams and cries when she has to have a bm, and therefore holds it as long as she can. She'll hold it in for 2 days, sometimes 3. I've used a suppository a few times (which makes her scream in pain and I think makes the whole cycle a lot worse).

Reading back to the first posting, I remember using lyco, which helped her have a bm when she had skipped a day or too. Yesterday i gave her lyco 30, 2 hits, a full cup of water. Her mood has been good, and her appetite improved right away. Her sleep was a little more restless last night, and she's doing something strange. Since the lyco, everytime she's passing gas, a yellow mucousy thing is being released. Its little in quantity, but enough to stain her pullup. I'm concerned. Was it the wrong remedy? Or is this encopresis? She had two bms yesterday, but that was before the lyco and after the suppository. The yellow thing was only after the lyco. The only thing i've noticed is that her anus is not tender to the touch anymore.

Sorry for such a long post... but I'm very concerned. She gets the urge for bms, but she screams and dances for the urge to go away. Only when it's unbearable will she strain- and by that time, she has to really strain a lot- turns red in the face. She never used to skip a day of bm, until i gave her the pulsatilla way back in the beginning of this thread.... where she skipped a day or so. And that was the start of this problem.
Please suggest.

OK here's an additional note:
She continued with the light yellow stain on her diaper through the day, had a bm by evening, but cried through it... although she could not withhold it even though she wanted to. The consistency and color seemed her normal.
After the bm, the yellow leakage stopped.
Her mood since the lyco has been really good, aside from the crying during the bm.

There is some anxiety regarding bms. She seems to be stuck in the anal stage, overly concerned about where her bm is coming from, asking if she can see the bm, asking if she can see where it comes from. She says pooping doesn't hurt, but she doesn't like to do it, says it's smelly. Gets grossed out once she has passed motions and asks to be cleaned right away. Sometimes i feel she does some, but gets so grossed out wants to be cleaned before she's completely done... and I think that's how the problem started, and seems to be cyclical cuz obviously the next time she goes, some of it has hardened.

Aside from that she's noticed she's different from her brother, has asked many questions regarding the fact why she doesn't pee standing up, etc.

Ok i feel like i'm messaging myself here... david you around? hoping this will bump up my thread and you can have a look.

Okay so the lyco 30 did help... amazingly. I've given her a total of 3 doses, up to 4 hits, in a full cup of water.

After the first dose, and she had that yellow leakage, she slept miserably, kept waking up, exactly what she did when she was younger. I first noticed immediately that her anus wasn't painful anymore.

Second dose- showed improvement in her bowels, she didn't cry when she passed motions. But the sleep was still erratic.

When she started showing signs of holding her bm again, i gave her the third dose. The last dose was yesterday. She slept very well in the night.
Has been having her bm like clockwork, twice a day, about the same times, she's squatting and doing it and not standing as she was doing it before.
The texture isn't as sticky anymore, and the color is not as dark. And definitely not painful.

Question- When we started this thread, we started her on pulsatilla, went on with lyco, and then a series of other meds.
Why now did lyco again work on her? Was it lyco that she needed to stick to?

She's different. Normally she gets sleepy after meals, the last two days she hasn't been sleepy through the day. She's more active, has energy, and is eating a lot better.

I know at some point we had gone to lyco 200, and i feel that was too strong for her. I don't want to screw up, and really need guidance on when to redose. Please read this, and get back to me.

thanks so much

ah whoops, not sure why I missed these posts. sorry.

Some patients will go back and forth between particular remedies - this is called zig zagging. The curative process for them seems to include moving between old states, requiring a specific remedy for each state in alternation or in a particular sequence.

You have a good instinct for remedies you know, certainly for the acute aspects. Have you ever considered studying homoeopathy?

At this stage you have done really well. Just watch her and wait to see what happens next.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
ah, you're here. Thank goodness. Zigzagging, that's interesting.

Yes, actually I've wanted to enroll in a school for a while now, but just don't know which one would be really good. I want to learn it the way you practice it, and it has to be online. Any suggestions?
 
karinamom last decade
Yesterday her first bm was a little on the darker side, and she ended up holding her second bm, even though i felt she needed to go. So before sleeping, i gave her another dose of lyco 30 (6 hits).
By morning, after breakfast, she tried to hold it a bit, but ended up doing it. It was very soft, she didn't even strain at all, (i was unsure if she had done anything at all), and was running around afterwards, not caring to be cleaned- normally she's quite grossed out by it.

I will wait and watch tomorrow. If she tries to hold it in, should i give her another dose with the 6 hits?... or bump it up?

thanks!

Try not to use the medicine like a drug ie. to make something happen at the time you want it to. Lycopodium should be curing the underlying cause of the problem, and it shouldn't need constant repeating.

If you need to repeat it everytime she has a bowel movement, then it could just be palliating the symptom and that won't end up well.

Is the smell of the stool unusual in anyway?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Her stools before this problem began barely had a smell, i could never tell when she pooed. But when the problem started occurring, and the stool was dark in color, and sticky, then yes it had a smell. But I dont know how to describe it.
Today there was very little smell.

I must have forgotten an important piece of information. This problem started when guests have come to stay at my house for an extended period of time.

She has quite an odd form of stranger anxiety. She gets scared when people (strangers) come over to the house. She hides behind me and refuses to go towards them.
But out of the house, she openly greets strangers and is more friendly.
She will not have a bm outside the house (since she was a few months old), nor will she do it in front of people.

She will attempt to bear down in the potty, but has a hard time doing so. She's done it just a few times. It doesn't come easily. She will do it better in her pullups, standing.

She is afraid of any leakage of pee, so will never have a wet pullup, even at night, where she wakes up from the need to pee.

She feels really thirsty at night, before falling asleep. She never drinks water during the day, i have to convince her to do so. But before bed, she must have quite a bit of water. If she wakes at night to use the washroom, she will ask to drink water then.
