The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Dr. Sameer, please help with my son (behavioral, speech, eczema) Page 4 of 6
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
The cough is better now, but was still bad during the night and horrible yesterday.
He says he's sad because of the cough. He hasn't been himself. Normally, even if he's sick he's up and about, but he's been pretty drained and sitting around more than usual. Not that he's laying around, but not as hyperactive.
He's getting worse with the breast thing. It's VERY annoying.
Let me say that I know many children who have been breastfed until the natural age of weaning, which seems to be anywhere from 4-6 (or after). Anyways, they all maintain a sort of relationship with the breast after the weaning. It's like they wean from it physically, first, but the emotional attachment takes a little longer. Well, I think with me haivng sensory issues and not allowing certain kinds of touch, this likely turned his natural attachment into an obssession because I never allowed the natural emotinoal weaning. That's how I see it.
I don't know if I mentioned this before, but he tells me he loves me and hugs me very often. Like every few minutes. At least 20-30 times a day. Except when he's with his friends, then it's mainly when I hug him. I think it might be out of boredom.
I should have mentioned the erections thing before because he gets them a lot and always has. I just figured it was normal.
OH, I almost forgot something I've noticed for days now! He's grinding his teeth at night. And I mean, it sounds like he's grinding them away he does it so hard. It's mainly after cough, like when he's swallowing. It doesn't let me sleep because I think he's going to damage his teeth, so I wake and massage his jaw to try and get him to stop.

Ok, please tell me how easily does he get bored in general ?
Also, does he have any destructive tendencies towards people (striking) or objects (like breaking his toys) ?

Lately he's been complaining about boredom, a lot. He needs the TV on constantly. Sometimes when I shut it off he will be fine and play with toys or in his sandbox. But lately he will complain and not stop. He says he's bored and will cry all day long.
When his friends are over he's never bored and he doesn't want to watch TV or play video games, but they do and this makes him frustrated because he wants them to play and spend time with him.
He's always been the type of child who needed to be entertained. He was exhausting as a baby.
He will throw toys or hit them sometimes, but it was worse when he was younger. If there's anything he can take apart, he will. He will sometimes destroy books. But it's more of a curiosity thing, I think, than trying to be destructive. For example, I think he likes how the ripping sounds/feels.
We have had a hitting problem with him, but it was worse around 2 and 3. He would push babies and even now he feels very hostile toward them. Doesn't even want to look at them. Even when he does play with them I can tell he's envious/jealous.
He will hit when he gets mad, which is weird because we don't hit. I was surprized that he hit/bit his friend because he's always SO much more compassionate and caring than they are. : /
Did I mention that he's very sensitive to noise? Hates loud noises, especially humming sounds, like the vaccum or the kitchen timer.

Hi Dr. Sameer,
My son just got hives on the back of his neck/shoulder. They are mainly to the left, but also in the center. He's itchy all over. I was brushing his hair and that seems to have ...started it? He told me he started to scratch and I thought it was because the hair fell on the back of his neck. (He has long wild wavy hair) My husband just noticed he had the raised skin. I called the pediatrician and she told me to give him Benadryl ASAP and to watch for worsening, in which case I'd have to go to the ER. If it gets better then we can wait until tomorrow to go see her. I did give him the benadryl, just now. I had also given him vitamin C before I called the doctor because a friend told me it can stop severe allergic reactions/swelling.

Please give him a dose of Lachesis LM2.
1 drop in 500 ml spring water, stir and give a teaspoon.
Report after 3 days.

I'm going to give him the Lachesis today. I was trying to wait until the hives cleared out, but they haven't.
They go away in at night, during sleep and area ALL better by morning until about 1:30 pm. Then they come back and stay until night time again. I notice that when he gets the hives he gets hyper and a little difficult. The benadryl calms the hives and him down.
They are no longer just on his neck. He gets them there, first, but they are quickly all over his torso. It's like they are trying to come out through a different area each time. The benadryl makes them stop itching right away and the bumps go away slowly, but it's not as fast-acting as it was the first time I gave it to him.

Dr. Sameer, I think we have to antidote ASAP. Please help me and tell me what to do. I was finally able to give him the Lachesis TONIGHT. His ear was very swollen earlier from hives and I haven't found a window where he's not on Benadryl. So I just gave it to him and he's having a horrible reaction. He's crying, complaining and irritable. CAn't tell me what's wrong. He just says he doesn't know what's wrong. Please help!

He seems to be sound asleep now. He kept asking for me and not wanting my husband, but then decided he wanted my husband. He lied down with him and fell right to sleep and so far, for the past 30 minutes, he has not complained.
I'm going to check on him...
Is this a normal reaction?

You can see both eczema and the hives in that ^ picture. The eczema are the goosebumby/patchy skin.
He's been miserable again for the past few minutes and is on top of me right now as I type this. He is restless. Asked me for cereal and so I sat him on the couch and by the time I came back with it he didn't want it anymore; he was asleep, of course.

Should not intervene so soon. Usually such quick aggravations are followed by improvements.
Please wait and watch.

Just wanted to clarify that the hives were NOT from the Lachesis, just the behavior.
The hives go away completely once he falls asleep, so I'm thinking it's from stress or overtiredness.

I just asked him how he feels and he said, 'Not much better.' I ask him what he feels and he says,'I don't know.'
Thanks,

Yeah, even the behavior, there can be such aggravations but they should be short lived with LM potency.
Please update in a day or so.

Hi Dr. Sameer,
I have not updated because we live in Alabama and were recently struck by massive devastating tornadoes. My family and I are fine, but were without power until a little while ago...for 3 days or so.
So here's my update:
Yesterday he was bragging? to his friends about how he hits his dad. Friend asked why he hits his dad and he told him that it was because he doesn't let him watch TV. He hit his friend several times during these past few days and has been threatning his other friend. He's hit me and his dad.
The hives went away completely almost immediately after the Med. the next day they didn't reappear.
He's been a little more annoying than usual. Doing things just to get on my nerves. I can't think of anything specific right now.
He's been eating good. He's been sleeping well for the past 3 days. But the first couple days he was up until the next morning with major insomnia.
He's been obssessing about touching my breasts, again, and more than usual. He says he wants to feel if they're hot or cold. : / I'm thinking it's a sensory thing. I'm sure his need to do this is worse because it drives me up the wall and I don't let him. Tonight I told him that when he wants to do that we can give eachother super tight hugs, instead.
Oh, about hugging. He's been extremely affectionate (hugging, kissing) and just telling me he loves me obssessively. The first 3 days on Med were horrible with this. It was CONSTANT! It's been better today and yesterday, but he still does it a lot.

It's hard to tell if he does because he's always flexing and moving...
Sometimes it looks like he does, but I'm not sure if it's the way he's standing or if he's pushing it out, which he does do sometimes.
I'll try to get some pictures in a bit...

So only one dose of Lachesis LM2 was given, and there was an initial aggravation in the behavior followed by no improvements correct ?
sameervermani last decade
He's been eating really well. I think that's an improvement. But certain things with behavior got worse, like hitting and thinking he's invincible. Like with anything that I warn him about...like if I tell him he can't play alone outside because it's dangerous. If it's because he can get run over by a car then he will say he can run out of the way really fast. If I tell him the police will see him and they will come to talk to me about it because kids his age can't play outside by themselves then he says he will hit the police officer and then run and hide high in a tree.
He's got an answer for everything...like a mini-teenager.
There seems to be a lot of improvement with sleep, too. He tells me when he's tired and wants to go to bed.
Today I see more improvement than I did when I updated. I actually thought that maybe the Lachesis was wearing off...
Yes, I gave him Lachesis, not Med. Just got confused. I think I said Med. somewhere.

Hey Dr. Sameer,
There has been no change. His behavior is impatient. Can't take no for an answer because he will ask ALL night and when it's still no then he will cry and have a tantrum until he falls asleep or something else takes his attention away.
He craves sugar A LOT! He's still eating okay and sleeping very well. Gets tired and decides he wants to go to bed. He hasn't done that since he was a baby!
He still cries when his friends leave (except for a few minutes ago, which I was surprised by, when his friend decided to leave and he asked him to stay a few times, but didn't cry.
Today we were playing outside and one of the older boys had a Nintendo DS. Eden wanted to play with it and he called out to that boy for something like 10 or 15 minutes...maybe more. He asked him for the game all that time. The boy was playing with older kids and not paying attention. He's having a really hard time with stuff like this.
He's hitting a lot and threatning to hit.
The eczema is going away, slowly, but very little is left. The hives have not come back.
I love that he's eating and sleeping, but the behavior is difficult.
He also has some impulsive/repetitive thing he does when he gets upset or anxious, I guess. Like today with the boy and the game he began punching the bottom of his chip over and over. I've noticed him hitting himself before or moving his head back and forth over and over. I'm not sure if it's new or just more prominent
Thank you!

Okay, please give him a single dose of Tuberculinum 200c, and report back in 10 days. The remedy can be procured from Helios. You can also order Tuberculinum 1M with it.
Just dissolve 2 pellets or 2 drops in a little spring water, and give a spoon from there.
