The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Daughter with bladder issues.
We have a 6yr old girl. Our biggest concern is bladder spasms/leaking after voiding. We tried marshmallow root and D-mannoise, working for only a little while. We also tried constitutional, lipopodium homeotherapy, which worked for two months and then stopped.Type of person: smart, intellectual. Weak at times. Shy around people. Thin.
Signs if small ADHD. Irritable, impatient
Follows rules, hard stools, large tonsils.
More problems in winter, bladder on-off for at least a year.
Any advice? Any homeopathy to consider?

Who chose Lyc. What potency was used & dosage.
fitness last decade
We worked with a professional homepath that met with us and determined Lycopodium. She is a classical homepath in our area. It seemed to fit her to a tee. Also, she is more weak, slim. Gets nervous over things. She gave us the Lycopodium, started at Lyc LM 1, 2 and she couldn't make it to 3, her body just stopped, all her symptoms came back. The bottles she sent us did not list the amount that she was taking, I know the potency was stronger as we went onto the next levels. We put the drops in water and increased the drops every week. This was last summer. The homepath recommended us to a chiropractor after it stopped working. We have been working with a chiropractor the last 3 months with standard process supplements. He thought she had parasites and he thinks he got them out now. She hasn't bed wet for 4 weeks, but she is still having bladder issues during the day. We have not been in contact with that homeopath as of now. Trying to get other opinions. It was nice to see there is a chance homeopathy could work for us. It had the best results! The homeopath opened our eyes open to possiblities. Thank you for your help.

Is there any reason why you are not in touch with that homeopath. Was the homeopath managing the case and what was her opinion of the remedy not working anymore.
Unless there is a real good reason, its always best to continue with one homeopath if he has helped.

She didn't give us much information as to why the remedy stopped and referred us out to a chiropractor. She wasn't really sure.
Do you have any suggestions for us? We aren't sure if we want to go back to her as she referred us out and wasn't able to continue helping us.
Thank you again for your assistance.

You have not answered a few questions in the questionnaire, just missed them or don't know the answers e.g. 15, 18, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
You have not given details about tonsils.
How are her adenoids.
Does she snore at night or a mouth breather.
In Q-37 you said no ear issues?
Considering the above, would you like to review & EDIT the answers to questions.
I am a little surprised to see all the supplements that she is taking, any reason for that.
Also, before I prescribe I will ask to stop them. If you are ok with that, we can proceed.
