New thread about my son for brisbanehomeopath _{Page 3 of 6}

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.

He is actually finding things to occupy himself with today instead of wandering around bored and whiny! He is being creative too, we built a castle out of pillows that was all his idea. He seems more independent, we went to the park and he didn't wander around in circles looking confused or need me to be within 5 feet of him. He's been playing by himself for the past 20 minutes, and that never happens! :)

Yes, I am trying to be reserved. The first time on this remedy the dosing was horrible and it ended up going haywire so that was confusing and a dissapointment. So it will depend a lot on that and I think that will tell me over time if he needs something else or not. With a lot of the other remedies we have tried I would see certain things improve while other things stayed the same or got worse. Like only certain things were helped and only for a short time. I can't think of something I have concerns about that isn't (even slightly) better - at least yesterday and today. The first time around there would be a hard relapse at around day 6. (This was after repeated dry dosing every two weeks). I don't know if that will happen again or not - if so I hope it will be more gradual.

Last night he woke up and had diarrhea. The same kind he has had every time I have given him this remedy. Same color too, orange-ish. Is this strange? Its not usually orange and he is usually constipated. This has never happened on any other remedy. My mom notices he is more calm and seems more confident and affectionate. :)

:) I didn't suppress it. He is a little bit more hyper today and more spacey, clumsy...not as bad as he usually is though. Could he be aggravating? It is day 4. I had a thought that I was dosing so much originally (like a year ago) that by the last of the 'dose', 3 days later would seem to be a major relapse (and this was 6 days after the beginning, as there were 3 days of dosing). Of course that's what I thought it was at the time, when it very well could have been the aggravation from the last of the 'dose', since it was 3 days after that. Right? Maybe I should have waited through that but it was so bad and I had no clue. Thought that meant I needed to redose. :/

Still seems more spacey, hyper, little irritable, but not as bad as before the dose. I can't imagine it is time to redose already (it is only day 5). Could there be some minor aggravation? Should I just wait and see if the next few days get better again?

Ok. Weird that it didn't happen within the first couple days.

So the initial positive response to the remedy is really the aggravation?

(I wonder why the whole concept of aggravation was never even explained to me in the very beginning, leaving me to think that he was only helped for a few days. Kind of frustrated that our first homeopath just went along with my thinking and told me to keep redosing him...leading to major proving symptoms and a year's worth of wasted time, money, and stress. A lot of the side effects and lost time could have been prevented had I known what to expect/look for. It majorly bums me out to think about it so I just can't. :/)

He seems better the end of yesterday and today. Still not as good as the first couple days but it does seem like the aggravation (or whatever you would call it, those couple intense days) are fading off. Should I expect his behavior to go back to how it was those first couple days or it will level out at better than normal but worse than first couple days? (If you get what I am saying, I am picturing a bell curve in my head, lol)
