The ABC Homeopathy Forum
9 yr old daughter with adhd and tourettes
Hi there I started a thread on my daughter back in 2011 when she was 6.5 with Homeopathic International 1 and later was assisted by Vikas Grower. I am here because we are wanting to try homeopathy again for her as she is still struggling with many of her adhd symptoms but the tics are presently causing her and us the most problems. Her character is the same as previously described in my 2011 thread. The tics are vocal and range from animal noises to shouting. Triggers seem to be times of transition, boredom and tiredness and also over stimulation physically. They are helped with music.The ADHD symptom of impulsivity is the most problematic.
Other issues are with sensory processing, sniffing and touching everything to excess.
She also still prefers to act the clown, frequently tricking and teasing. Tends to play mostly with younger children as they seem to be similar in emotional maturity.
I hope someone can help.
Thank you
Kirsty

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Ok, has anything changed since that thread (2011) ?
Can you please make a list of all remedies/potencies she has taken till date?

Hi there, ok so these are the remedies tried since my last thread in 2011:
Falco per 200
Cuprum met 30
Calc sulph 200
Hyla Arboria 1M
Cuprum phos 1M
Saccharum 200
Tarentula Hisp 200
Tub bov 1M
Thuja 10M
Carcinosin Q30
My notes are a little sketchy over the years, but it seems the cuprum phos really improved the tics, so would be keen to try that again if you think relevant.
Since my last thread, probably the main changes are that the bed wetting is no longer an issue, that stopped when she was 7. Also she no longer has a fear of dogs, though is a bit nervy around new dogs.
I guess the main problems now are the vocal tics which are pretty constant, her impulsive nature, she has always had a lack of self control, and her constant need to smell everything.
She still struggles with being in the moment, always wanting to know what else we are doing, or what is happening next? Very argumentative and attention seeking. Still very inappropriate at times. Loves to sing, write and draw, is always writing little books. Loves to please, and laps up praise and encouragement, but also still will point out when she has done something she shouldn't. Brain still seems very jumbled. Some of this I believe is inherited as I struggled with a lot of these things at her age.
Her health is generally very good, she is very energetic. Typically if she is ever affected health wise, it will be a dry chesty cough which she has suffered with since birth and ear problems,caused by excessive wax. She has also had a couple of cold sores by her mouth in the last couple of years.
I hope this helps, please do let me know if I can provide you with any further information.

Agaricus Muscarius 6C
Dissolve 2 drops of the remedy in 3 tablespoons water in a disposable cup, stir a few times using a disposable spoon and give her to drink. Do this 3 times a day and update after 3 days or before if needed.
You may use same cup multiple times and discard it later.
Avoid coffee, colas.

Hi zady and thank you so much for your time on my daughters case. Last night my husband and I were feeling desperate as her vocal tics yesterday were extreme, we are heading away today for a couple of days with our caravan and as we had good results with cuprum phos last time we wanted to try it again. So I gave it to her last night before bed.
I appreciate this may now change things for which I must apologise. Interestingly she appears calm this morning with no ticing yet.
What would be your recommendations?
Many thanks

I have no experience with cuprum phos and it is not one of those remedies that i prescribe0. However, my understanding is: Cuprum Phos is just providing temporary symptom relief and everything will come back. You have given this before as well. If it had to solve the problem, it would have done it before. So, this is just palliation.

Ok, you should start when she relapses after cup phos.

Hi Zady, my daughter has relapsed with her tics returning both vocally and involving the body. I have given her the Agaricus Musc as prescribed. Will keep you posted. Out of interest what is the significance of the disposable cup and spoon? Thanks
MrsKJsings last decade
Hi Zady, she has gotten progressively worse, unfortunately, out of desperation I gave her the cuprum phos 1M again, but it didn't have the same effect as last time. Possibly because she had the other remedy still in her body. Please advise what would be best to do ?

Agaricus Muscarius 6C
Dissolve 1 drop/3 pills of the remedy in 1 cup full of water in a disposable cup, stir a few times using a disposable spoon and take out 1 teaspoon from the cup and give to her. Throw away rest of the water. Do this once a day for 2 days and update me.
