Do i need a different set of questions as the acute have now gone. it's not a paticular thing to treat illness wise just his attitude,confidence and reocurring coughs etc

Hi David i know you are unable to diagnose and i have never been to the Dr about this. My Mum has been saying to me for about 2 years i'm sure your son has adhd but have ignored this.
I came across something yesterday and it describes him down to a T.He doesn't have the hyperactice side of it but every symptom on the not paying attention section is him ,
I read on another post you said it is hard to treat autism how about adhd. i do not know he has this but the teacher wants to see me about his lack of focus and concentration and i am sure she is going to mention this.
I will update this post all with new symptoms on Monday. do i need a new set of questions as the 1st lot he had fever etc and the acute is now gone??

ADHD is a catch all 'syndrome' that appears to describe many bad behaviours seen in normal children throughout their development. It also covers the genuine pathologies in behaviour that can occur, but both kinds of children are included in this diagnosis. I believe this is to allow the pharmaceutical companies to supply drugs to as many children as possible, thus substantially increasing their profits.

ADHD is simple. One third of all my clients are 'ADHD' children.

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?

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

Main problems
reocurring illness mainly coughs and slight colds occasionally gets asthma this started april 2011
My son is 6 yrs old he will get a very dry cough that can gradually worsen over a few days and end with a high fever once fever is there cough usually lessons. since last April asthma has occured 3 times and has been treated succesfully with blue inhaler.

His general mood and lack of concentration and focus is BIG. he gets frustrated quickly, like when getting dressed if the sleeve gets caught or something is the wrong way he will scream out or make a growl like noise and act over the top for a simple little thing. same with if he hurts himself he will slightly hurt himself but to him he has to hop about or limp even if it was not something this bad, he is very dramatic over things. he does not listen and i have had his hearing tested several times thinking he is maybe deaf but ears are fine apart from inflamed alot due to sniffing constantly during a cold. (will not blow nose) i will even get to eye level to make him listen but he will not make eye contact. he is very stubborn when it comes to saying sorry and things. i will ask him to do something and it will take the 5 or 6 times before he answers me but by then he raises is voice and will say NO i am not doing it or just be rude. i feel i have no control no matter what i have tried i struggle with this child. homeopathy has worked on his mood several times and been lovely but never lasted long. i do not remember the remedies he has had so many but i know one recent was aconite and it helped his mood for few days.
Everything seems to be a problem for him like no matter what i do he winges or moans, he is the biggest moaner and winger it seems to me and my husband he moans about everything. if he has a bad leg he will nt stop going on about it.
I'm not sure if angry or frustrated but he will get cross with me his step Dad and brother quite quickly. if his younger brother isn't playing or doing what he wants he will shout, push him or even pick him up and force him to sit where he wants him too, they will play very nicely together but it can quickly turn if the younger one is not doing what he wants or touches something of his. he cannot resist snatching back and shouting before i have had chance to get it from him, he is very bossy and will have to have the last say in everything. he will also stamp his foot if i say no to something or he's starting to get cross and will tell me i am mean and he doesn't like me anymore. he will sometimes hit me or pretend to and do it softly.

Next problem is school. he doesn't concentrate and will be quite vacant and not take things in unless it is something he is very intersted in. he does seem to have less friends than the others and struggles to fit in but he does his best he is shy at times, the teacher has tried a few different tactics to get him to concentrate more and failed. he gets nervous about going and this can cause a tummy ache,he is very easliy distracted from something yet if it is something he is very intersted in it is very hard to get his attention or get him to answer. he is sometimes a bit spacey.
He also lacks in confidence and will feel conscious of people watching him even if it walking across the dr surgery and people may look at him. not all the time though.

Also bedwetting has started again and i am not sure at present if it is because he is so so tired and not waking up or something is on his mind, usually when something worrying him he will wet the bed

2. Describe any pains or behaviours associated with the symptoms.
Frequent tummy pains if worried


3. Describe anything that makes the problem worse ie. position, temperature, food etc.
he does have a cough that never goes away which happenes when he cries. he will cough and cough and retch and on the verge of being sick
4. Describe anything that makes the problem better ie. pain is better for cold bathing or at night in bed.

When he is poorly with fever he usually asks for a bath and gets out shivering like mad jumps into bed under covers and quickly to sleep.

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)

i think i have done this above sorry if i have messed this up it is hard.
He bits his nails this is a HUGE thing and is getting worse he will bite and bite them they are so low down they look so small. he will also pick skin off from around the edges if there is any hanging off and make it bleed or make them sore, his fingers have got all pussy a couple of times from him doing this and also down the back of his leg (cannot remember which one he has about 13 wart type things i noticed about 2 months ago. Dr said they we're very common and will suddenly vanish one day

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

The coughing started in January 2010 a few months after his brother was born we had also moved house not long before. Jan was the 1st time he had ever had a cough which slowly gets worse over couple of days then broke out in very high fever and cough would lesson.

The mood has just slowly got worse over the years and more so since starting school. his Dad lives seperate and he see's him regular and i think this has had a big impact on him. and probably contributes to his mood as he gets confused with 2 sets of parents and different rules.
The concentration thing has been there as long as i can remember but more noticable since school. he gets so bored of drawing and painting things very quickly but give him a bucket of water and some empty bottles or a water pistol and he will be quiet for hours

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)

I may of done most of this in the beginning but it is difficult to describe a problem without going into lots of detail,
He is very sensitive and i think he feels pushed away or unloved. he is very affectionate and loves cuddles and kisses he does seem to have a separation anxiety and does not like me going out or if i say he is staying at Dads he doesn't want to go but fine once there. if he plays a game on the xbox we have to be careful as his mind can go overactive when it comes to bedtimes and he can worry about what he has seen in the game,he gets anxious about school and people not liking him and like i said also about me going out.
He sometimes gets scared of things in the dark like he will face teddies the other way so the eyes do not lok at him this comes and goes. he does not like going upstairs on his own to the loo when it is dark but again this comes and goes and even silly things like a flashing standby light on something will scare him this comes and goes too.
Another one that comes and goes is he scared of the toilet water coming to high and flooding the whole house, he occasionally asks questions about flooding so i think this is on his mind.
He is a very sweet looking boy and and i love him dearly but something seems to be bothering him he does not speak about his problems i know he has worried about me dying in the past and he will not have a Mum. he is sensitive and also very caring and worries alot about things.
He is shy in school like he would not out his hand up in class or if he needed a number 2 there is noway he would ask the teacher.i thnk he would be quite happy sat next to the teacher or holding her hand all day. he does play with others and get involved but he always wants to be friends with the ones that won't play with him. this morning a boy had missed him and was pleased to see him and said he would bring a present in tomorrow for him and his eyes lit up and he said 'MUM did he miss me and he is glad i am back at school' and his little face was a picture. it bought tears to my eyes. this is what he craves to be liked and loved.
He is also very clever at working out how things work. and is very inquisitive

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?

He feeds very slowly especially teatime when we all sit down. we could be almost finished and he has barely taken a mouthful we do not have the issue at breakfast, also teatime he always seems to need a wee just as he is about to start.

He cannot eat dairy or wheat. wheat will give him alot of tummy pains and loose stool if given over a few days and possibly worsen the asthma.
He likes olives and has recently asked for roast potatoes he also likes pastry things that he cannot eat because of the wheat. and bread too he will even eat plain bread sometimes but he does not crave these. obviously sweets he would NEVER turn down. he does like to be the last to eat his so that he isn't left with none while people still have theres and if he has a drink or some pudding he is obsessed with having the larger amount.
Does not like any fish or runny egg yolk.he does not eat much meat but likes sausages an salami

9. How does the weather or season or temperature affect him/her? coughs worse in the winter and he does seem to get ill alot

10. How have all his/her milestones gone? Does he/she have any issue with speaking, learning, walking, climbing etc
Only issue is school which i mentioned above

11. How is he/she with socializing with others?
He is very confident if he knows them well but in the mornings in the playground he will not leave my side to go and play he seems worried to join in if a group are playing. he does not have the confidence, he gets shy in a school play and won't do as many actions as the others and was once worried he would have to sing on his own.and developed this nervous throat clearing thing and was very anxious all the time but i had to work out what was wrong he wouldn't tell me

12. What is his/her bowel habit like? Any problems? Any odours, strange colours or stool shapes?
very changable. only been the last week he has got quicker on the loo it usually takes about 20mins to go. sometimes loose sometimes normalish, never hard. never completely normal does not like people watching him.
He also has this old vanity case he collects things in he is a little horder and doesn't like anything thrown away in this box is everything pens,cards anything he finds lying around which is shiny like beads or hair grips. sweet wrappers , bits of tissue, you name it and he also has another collection of crystals and nice pretty stones which he loves. he likes marbles too


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?

Measles from the separate measles jab
Chicken pox 2 years ago
severe dairy intolerance lost all stomach lining and had nappies full of mucous blood lots of it.
He was also intolerant to every food except from vegetables, chicken and lamb. until he was about 2.5 years old

15. Has he/she reacted to any vaccines or medical drugs?
measles from seperate measles jab. has not had MMR.

16. Problems with sleep? Position he/she sleeps in?
no problems

17. How is he/she with animals?
Not worried about animals he does like them and thinks there funny but thats about it

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

19. What is the family history of illness and disease?
Family history of illness is just me with underactive thyroid and My Mum with overactive.

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?

Huge amount of stress at work . i was totally victomised they made my life hell and i worked upntil a few days before he was born. he was 4 weeks early, very quick labour 4.5 hours. i had a fever during labour and do not know why so for this reason only they did a complete blood check on him and he was born with. alloimmune trombocytopenia. basically i was lucky he did not heamoragge. i have a rare platlet in my blood which causes anti bodies to react with baby and kills there platlets. it was pure luck they discovered this before anything awful happened, his platlet count was 7 and he had a transfusion and been fine ever since
I need to add that i have a history of using class A drugs going back 10 years ALOT of ecstasy and have had cocaine before the last time i had a small amount was a few months before i became pregnant with him, i have never ever touched a thing since that day nor do i drink or smoke (not something i really wanted to mention or tell a whole forum about i feel so ashamed but it maybe of importance)

I seem to have done a very good job of scattering my answers about. i found it hard as the problems seem to interlink is this ok or do you want it redone.
Thank you David

I think i have said most bad point but he can have days when i ask him to do something he will say ok and just do it and be lovely all day long..... this doesn't happen often though and he is also caring for his brother although he does fight with him, if he saw someone hit his brother he would be concerned and if he hurts his brother misses his dad he will sometimes hug him

This is all still the same David. he does stamp his foot alot too when doesn't get his own way or is cross and also developed what I call a nervous throat clearing thing, he did it near Christmas when he was scared about doing the nativity play and it seems to have started up again the last few days but it isn't as bad as before but it's so annoying and I did ask him to stop but he said he can't as feels like something is in his throat!

This week has been a bit crazy for me with my own practice. I have not forgotten about you and will try to sort this out asap.

Is this acute different to the last one?

It's ok I understand just tell me if its too much won't you? This may not be an acute I thought he was getting the tummy bug but I think now it was too much food at his dads house plus he had beef and he isn't too good with beef, he does have a sensitive digestive system!

What has happened with him now?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
He is still the same alot of stamping one foot if he can't have what he wants and goes off alone to play with water in the bathroom if he gets told off, alot of tummy aches, also urinating slightly more frequent which he does when he's stressed, he doesn't talk to tell me what's wrong it's always a guessing game, his brother shouted at him yesterday and he cried for ages as said it hurt his ears. He is very hard work he will not listen until you lose your temper then he gets all upset and stamps and cries and says he doesn't like me, there's obviously something bothering him I just don't know what!
I appreciate this David
 
pixie wood last decade
this child is so rude and i say his name and he won't answer and i will call him again and again and he will suddenly reply yes yes yes very rudely.

There could be an acute brewing he has slight cold and start of a cough.

Pixie,
Check out the web site of www
yurkovsky dot com.fct and click
on Autism is curable- and read that
article. The dr. is saying basically that
the food allergies, all this stuff is
from other stuff- that is not addressed.

He is a homeopath, and heart dr and
has trained other homeopaths etc in
looking at this entire problem a different
way. There is a homeopath named
bob Richards in London that is practicing
using these protocols, read the
article , it makes sense to me.

Thanks Simone he hasn't actually ever been diagnosed it was just a thought i had that maybe he is, but he has quite a confusing stressful life which i think is making him the way he is but i'll certainly read through. thank you very much.
Pixie
 
pixie wood last decade
I think the article under Autism
explains a good overview of his
way of looking at health- it is for
everything and every condition but
I thought the Autism article had a
good explanation. You will see when
you read it.
Best-Simone

Hi simone is the web address correct? I can't seem to find it but I'm on my phone internet so will look properly tomorrow thank you
 
pixie wood last decade
the article keeps eluding me if I don't
put the link exactly right and press
the autism button i get another article!

the article of overview I want you to
read has a baby standing up line
drawing at top of page.

The web address is-
www yurkovsky dot com /autism/autism
---a curable-disease/

this should show the article and has
the baby drawing so you know this is
the one.

Ok I have gone back through this case, and I believe the remedy he needs is Calc-phos. Get hold of 30c and 200c. Start with one dose of 30c to begin with.

This is an interesting case because the remedy can be seen in different ways. The affectionate nature, the fear of being alone, the fear of the dark, the fear associated with seeing things in the dark, the desire for physical contact, the sensitive and dramatic emotional responses,the overactive mind and the lack of focus all point to the element of Phosphorous.

The fear of disasters (flooding), the stubborness, the bossiness, the general timidity, the aversion to egg yolk, the desire for sweets, the general slowness in eating, all suggest the element of Calcarea.

Together these characteristics actually point to Calc-phos. Calc-phos is a complainer, nothing is ever right, they moan and complain alot. They have a lot of trouble with school, and it is one of the most well-known symptoms of this remedy to get a stomach-ache that keeps them from school. Many of the old masters talk about this symptom. Calc-phos also craves salami and sweets quite prominently.

And very importantly, it belongs to the Tubercular miasm, so the vulnerability to URTI and the asthma is nicely covered by it.

The materia medica says this about Calc-phos.

Peevish, fretful. Difficulty in performing intellectual operations. Unpleasant news makes him beside himself. Fear of hearing bad news. Irritability worse for consolation, shuns society and desires to be alone. Indignation. DISSATISIFACTION. Ailments from unrequited affection. Very discontented.

Calc-phos is sometimes compared with Chamomilla in terms of the anger and tantrums. There is a feeling in these children that something is wrong, something is always wrong, but you can never put your finger on it. This is because it is the deep underlying feeling of the tubercular miasm - unrelenting dissatisfaction with the way things are.

Well it sounds spot on and would you believe I have 30 and 200 as he's been prescribed it before I just cannot remember when I think I will still order the 200 as its from the homeopath and been kept in a brown paper envelope so would imagine it may of lost its potency, thank you very much
Actually don't have 30c so will order today

The pillules can last a hundred years so the time you have had it shouldn't matter.

Ok he has had it before - what was his response then? I don't want to just repeat the mistakes of other homoeopaths.
