This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi David - wondering if I should still give him the Carsinosinum when it arrives as you mentioned you were still considering his case in my other thread. If you are not sure I will hold off until you decide.

The antidote is just the right remedy. It is not anything other than that. If Carc is the right remedy it will put everything right.
Why did you give him Agaricus again? You must have done that after I suggested Carc.

No, I did not give it to him before you suggested it. The last time I gave it to him was 9 days ago and it was only a few days ago you told me to order Carc.
Excuse me, it was actually 8 days ago, but still before I posted this new thread for you.

I actually had another question regarding a previous remedy he was on. It was Saccharum and he had a lot of positive results and physical things happen while on it but was dosed too much with it. My husband and I were just talking tonight about how he really lacks self-confidence and is extremely jealous for my attention. I never really thought of it that way before, but if he is just with my husband alone, he acts differently, but then I come in and he starts all kind of antics, because he can't bear that I might give my husband attention and not him. I also think this is what is behind the constant interrupting. He is possessive of me, although I've never thought of it that way before. Cries a lot when he gets hurt, and is afraid to try new things, or even things he has done before but hasn't practiced in a while, like his bike. I remember reading about Saccharum when he was prescribed it by our first homeopath and thinking that everything seemed to fit, except the jealous part...and now I can totally see how he is very jealous!! Do you think this remedy at all fits him? I ask because this was the only one we saw gains that stuck with, but the dosing was all off and I was not advised on how to do it properly. Still have Carsinosinum coming in the mail, but would appreciate your insight on this. Thanks David!

We did have a discussion about that in the beginning. Without being able to see all the posts I am not sure how that discussion went.
Sacchrum's basic problem is not getting attention from his parents. Everything revolves around that. Is this true for him? Is that his primary problem? The disease in this, is that no amount of attention is ever enough. They literally smother their parents or other loved ones, demand 100% attention all the time or they get aggessive. They can also get agressively affectionate, which is a unique parodox in this medicine (almost alone). The mixture of agression and affection is very marked and often difficult for parents to really understand. Nothing the parents do will ever reassure the child that they are not going to run away, or send the child away. It is a very intense state, and creats huge problems in the relationship between them.
If a remedy has worked in the past it needs to be considered always, until proven ineffective in creating cure.

Yes, I would say he is always wanting/needing attention. He does get it, but it is never enough. He is the same way with my mom (who lives with us, they are very close). He can be very affectionate, but many times he is not 'connected' but more spacey. Still in this state he is very demanding - i.e. he may not make eye contact but will speak 'at' us and keep going, interrupting, etc., like he can't bear to be interrupted. It is like pulling teach to get him to speak to certain people even when they speak to him, but certain people he 'clings' to more for lack of a better word. My mom and I the most I would say. He can't stand if one of us can't put him to bed and my husband has to do it. He did get mad and start hitting my husband the other day when he was ignoring him and talking to someone else (this physical aggression is unusual, usually it is frowning, scowling, folding hands, stomping feet, and being bossy), he does push people though sometimes when he is grumpy and they are trying to be affectionate with him. It is hard to tell with him because there is so much going on.
I don't think we talked much about it actually, other than me mentioning he had taken it, and we stopped because I didn't like things I was seeing after a while (I really think he was being overdosed and developing stronger symptoms like sucking fingers, etc.) He also seemed to start getting hand and foot cramps after this remedy which may have in part led to prescribing cuprum. He is also controlling and wants things done his way, although he is not at all proactive and acts helpless a lot. He will just get frustrated if we are not playing the way he wanted and will grab things away and correct us.

Yes, let me find that for you. The first time it was 200c dry dosed and repeated. Do you want info on that too or only after I went back to it with split dosing?
First time he was happier, less restless, very clear mentally, paying attention to conversations and interjecting with appropriate questions (this was almost a year ago). Intermittently angry and fussy, crying and sobbing when I was on the phone, etc. Very needy of me. More confident in his body, better motor control. Remembering things that happened from years past. Had a couple bad dreams and would come into our bed in the early mornings. Really hungry in the mornings. Not crying when he fell down. Very tired, asking for me to play with him more, saying he wished I would work less and play more. Talked to me on the phone for almost 10 minutes (he never does this) said he missed me and told me about his day (he still never does this either). More dreams. Good reports at school. More connected to me, attentive and well behaved in a martial arts class. Made a card for a neighbor and visibly reacted to what was happening in a movie. Intermittent tears and argumentativeness. Still waking in middle of the night/early morning to have blankets put back on (this started happening after remedy). Becoming less timid, more confident, and more socially aware, but sometimes his need to argue and control comes out along with agitation and it surprised me, since he has generally been in a pleasant mood and more calm overall. Seemed more aware and it isn't as difficult to get his attention. He seemed to relapse from this good stuff after 7 days every time (of dry dosing).
The homeopath told me to then give LM6 daily for 5 days (which initially helped, but he did become a lot more emotional). It was very complicated dosing consisting of 200c 3x, sip dosing, and LM6, and way too much.
Liquid dose was 30c, (this was after trying several other remedies unsuccessfully), 2 days later had a high fever. Not as huge of improvements, but they stuck around for around 2 weeks. He tended to have loose poop that would burn with this remedy, especially the LM6's. Next 30c dose he aggravated for 5 days (these were not split doses, just liquid from a dropper) and we went down to 12c. Would get hand and foot cramps especially at night after the dose. Stomach hurting and loose stools. Definitely more mental clarity and awareness, also more emotionality and becoming upset with regards to relationship things, if he thought someone was upset with him or he didn't understand something or he wanted me to be with him, etc. This is the bulk of it I think...soon after this we tried cuprum for his rigidity and controlling. This was not a constant, but would come out intermittently and strongly at the strangest times. He seemed to have a lot of dreams about animals also this whole time, grasshoppers, butterflies, fish, etc. and would ask me what I did that day or what I was going to do the next day, etc.

So that is what happened with that remedy. He sounds a lot like it, but also sounds a lot like lycopodium too with his bossiness and controlling of others.
allicando last decade
Lycopodium';s core disturbance revolves around doing new things - they cannot do anything new, they are afraid of it, afraid of anything unfamiliar. At home they compensate for this by being bossy and controlling, but the anxiety and fear is always there. Put them in a new situation and they are timid and shy and anxious. Put them where they are comfortable and they will be domineering and confident, but it is always so conditional this confidence.
He has had alot of Sacch, quite a lot of it. I am not sure what all that means exactly. If you want to eliminate the remedy though, I would suggest a single dose of Sacch 1M, given in the highest dilution of water you have used for the other remedies. Then we can see what comes up for him.

You are not sure what my notes mean? Or if he has had so much of it that the picture remains unclear? (He has not had a dose of sacch since last August). I am rather afraid to give him that high of a potency, he has never had that before...
And I would say my son sounds a lot like BOTH of these remedies, he is also very prone to contradict, even when it is insignificant. For example, 'Oh, that's a nice _____.' Son: 'It's not a ______, its a _______.
All day long, always correcting EVERYTHING. It is almost impossible for me to tell which of these he is more like, although he has never had Lycopodium and had many physical reactions to the Saccharum (and to no other remedy we have tried).

What I meant is that he has had so much it is not clear if going up in potency will help or not. I would have expected a better level of cure for him from repeated use of it, but it is possible that going down in potency was the wrong decision. I am not clear as to why the homoeopath did not go up.
Going up must be the next step, as he had lots of 200c. That will be the only way to be sure.
High potencies are nothing to be frightened of. They are safer than the low potencies. I would be far more worried about 30c than 1M.
I still think his case is more complex than either Lyco or Sacch explains, but lets see how Sacch affects him.

Oh ok. Well the 30c was prescribed from a different homeopath (I switched to another homeopath after the 200c and other remedies before the next homeopath decided to try the 30). I can order the saccharum 1M, but like I said, it has been a while and 5 remedies since the saccharum, would I still need to go up?
Yes he is complicated. I wish it wasn't so. I feel helpless to figure him out and exhausted. I should be getting the Carsinosinum tomorrow or next day in the mail and I would still have to order the Saccharum. I trust your judgement, my son is like a weird combination of a whole bunch of different things. Should I go ahead and dose him with the Carsinosinum when I get it? I will do whichever one you are leaning more toward because I have no clue, only know what helped him the most so far.

Carc and Sacch are complementary according to Tinus Smits, so yes I would still get hold of it.
I have treated some very complex cases in clinic with children. Homoeopathy can unravel it and turn him into the person he was meant to be.

Ok, so you are saying to dose him with the Carc when it arrives but still get the Sacch 1M to have on hand, correct?
allicando last decade
No you feel the Sacch might work, so we should not be moving to a new remedy. Give him the higher dose of Sacch first.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I have no idea if it might work, thought it might help make the case clearer to see what had happened before when he took it. I hope YOU think it MIGHT work...and not just saying that because you are tired of me or annoyed that I asked about it...lol. I think I annoyed a previous homeopath with my questions because he ended up telling me to do whatever I wanted...to get rid of me and my son I think. It made me feel badly because he is my son, how can I not want to unlock him? Anyway. I have a hard time telling if you are just matter of fact or tired of dealing with me. I am probably reading into it way too much because I don't think I've done anything wrong. I just feel apologetic all the time and like I shouldn't ask questions but it is for my son so I push past that because I have to.
allicando last decade
I will order the Sacch 1M.
allicando last decade
I would not try to get rid of you. That is not in my nature at all. However whenever there is doubt in the mind of the patient that a remedy was not seen through to its conclusion, we must do that. It is not only important because you might be right, but because our relationship depends on you having a say in what happens here. Of course if I violent disagree I would tell you, but I don't. It is not an unreasonable suggestion.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
His antics and trying to get attention constantly are driving me bonkers. He refuses to do anything and will just wander around bopping his head around and laughing about it. He is SOOO hyper. I hope the Sacch gets here soon, I need to try something!!
allicando last decade
I have the Sacch 1M today. How much water should I dissolve the pellets in? The I plan to use one drop in a full cup, and 1 tsp of that cup into another, and give him 1 tsp of the second cup. Does this sound ok? How much water in the first dilution? Thanks!
allicando last decade
I think I am going to dissolve them in 8oz and hit it twice, then use one drop in the first dilution cup, 1 tsp into the second cup, and 1 tsp of that. I hope this is ok...
allicando last decade
Gave him the dose as I mentioned above, about 6 hours ago (he is in bed now). No aggravation yet, less annoying behaviors. He actually was being crazy earlier and saw me looking at him and stopped and kind of laughed and said, 'I was just being silly'. Still hyper, but not as much. He tends to be pretty constipated, not going for days, but went about 1/2 hour after the dose and no issues with it. More conversational, asking me questions about me actually, and affectionate toward me and his dad. He started talking about a kid in his class who always wants to sit next to and play with another kid, and wondering why he does this because the other kid doesn't always like it. (Seems like social awareness! He usually seems oblivious to things like this). He actually told me a lie today, when I asked him if he washed his hands and he kept telling me yes. I realized it wasn't true and he finally admitted it. He has never lied in his life, lol. Easier going, fell down and laughed about it, rather then screamed. Also wasn't walking on toes so much and ran with his arms. Remembering things we had talked about a long time ago and telling me things he did today at bed time (he never remembers what he did that day and doesn't usually talk about it). Seems positive so far! Bracing myself for an aggravation though. Will keep you updated.
