Hi Evocationer,

I ve ordered the petroleum and psorinum. We have stopped using steroid cream on him. We should received it in a week or two. Please let me know how to use it.

Thanks

If you instead have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper to make your own liquid dose. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.

If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand

2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water

3. Stir very thoroughly

4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.

This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.

If any old symptoms reappear, or any current symptoms worsen, this is a GOOD sign in most cases. DO NOT SUPPRESS them with other kinds of medication unless you are in real danger (which is a highly unlikely reaction to a remedy).

However, if you are on regular medication it is also important that you do NOT stop taking this. Once it is determined the medicine has acted beneficially, we can look at reducing such medication if safe to do so.

However, as discussed, you have chosen to allow the suppressed symptoms to resurface. Try to avoid going back to cortisone if possible.

For LM potencies, you can give daily doses, but it is very important to stop if the symptoms appear to flare up.

Thanks Evocationer. few questions :

1) which medication to start with Petroleum LM1 or LM2 ?

2) How many doses a day and for how long ?

Thanks

LM1. Daily doses and we assess at the end of each week. STOP if any of his symptoms worsen, including mental or emotional ones.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
ok, so 1 dose daily for 1 week.

Thanks

Hi Evocationer,

I just received the medicine and have a question. Do I have to mix the drops in 100ml water for each dose and throw the rest or reuse it for next dose.

Should I use distill water or any bottle water is fine.

Thanks
Coolme
 
coolme 9 years ago
You would use fresh water for each dose. Never mix the drops back into the same water as the previous dose.

Hi Evocationer,

I gave him 7 doses , took 9 days. I missed 2 doses in between.
I don't see any significant improvement on the eczema but see some improvement in itching. He is not itching that much. Only in the morning. The eczema patches on his legs increased though. The weather is also getting cold so not sure if its because of weather or medicine.

What do you suggest next ?

Thanks
coolme

Hi Evocationer,

Did you get a chance to look at this. Please suggest what too do next.

Thanks

Ok let's have a look at the symptoms you described and see what kind of changes we have provoked.

Next to each symptom I would like you to write Better, Worse, or Same. If better or worse, also write a percentage to represent how much you think it has changed.

Eruptions,elbows
Eruptions, knees
Eruptions, belly
Eruptions, fingers
Eruptions, toes
Eruptions, ears
Eruptions, neck
Eruptions, under eyes
Itching
Scratching till bleeds
Pain from warm water
No fear
Does not draw or discuss thoughts about fantasies
Does not describe dreams or nightmares
Goes easily to strangers
Love of jumping
Anger not getting what he wants
Sleeps on tummy
Sleeplessness from itching
No particular craving or aversion to foods
Crying until he gets milk

Hi Evocationer,

Pretty much everything is the same except some improvement in itching. He is not scratching that much, I would say 30% improvement in itching.

Thanks

Alright, in that case repeat the remedy. It may not have been enough to trigger the healing event. Repeat just as before except that I want you to hit the bottle 8 times between each dose.

Proceed for one more week, with the same attention to be paid for any possible aggravation.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Thanks , I will follow that and report in one week.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Evocationer,

I gave him 6 doses , last one will give tonight. His Eczema is now worse. He has got on his back now, which were not there before. Also it came back on the back of penis. It got cleared up while back. At all other places its either same of worse. He is scratching a lot. We try to keep his skin moist with oil and cream but that doesn't help long. He is waking up at night and scratching. its coming back on his face too.

Eruptions,elbows = Same
Eruptions, knees = worse 30%
Eruptions, belly = better 30%
Eruptions, fingers = same
Eruptions, toes = same
Eruptions, ears = same
Eruptions, neck = worse 20%
Eruptions, under eyes = worse 20%
Itching = same
Scratching till bleeds = same
Pain from warm water = same
No fear = same
Does not draw or discuss thoughts about fantasies = same
Does not describe dreams or nightmares = same
Goes easily to strangers = same
Love of jumping = same
Anger not getting what he wants = better 20%
Sleeps on tummy = same
Sleeplessness from itching = same
No particular craving or aversion to foods = same
Crying until he gets milk = better 20%

Eruption on back just started, it wasn't there before. Both the legs are now full with eczema. back of knee, on one leg is very bad. I can send you some pictures if that would help.Let me know.

Is this aggravation ? What do you suggest. Its very hard to see him struggling with this. We are still not applying any steroid creams only normal body lotion or coconut oil.

Thanks for your help.

When did the worsening start?
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Since last 3-4 days.
 
coolme 9 years ago
Whenever there is a worsening of symptoms, you must stop the remedy immediately. Every dose taken after that will magnify the reaction considerably. He may have had 2-3 doses too many at this stage. That isn't too much of a problem with the LMs but you would need to wait now until it wears off. It is usually a good sign though when this happens - the healing threshold has been reached and the healing crisis begins at that point. The intensity might be a bit higher than I would have liked but it should be fine.

It is important not to suppress this reaction, to make sure that the improvement follows it.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Ok, so now just watch him with no medicine and it should get better ? For how long to monitor and report back.

Thanks
Coolme
 
coolme 9 years ago
It is hard to say how long it might take for the aggravation to die down. It is a good sign that it happened, but eczema and psoriasis are difficult conditions in homoeopathy because the aggravation is often in proportion to the amount of medical suppression that has taken place - and most people have used steroids to control the outbreaks.

Try to wait it out as long as you can. Keep me informed on any changes (or lack thereof). Worse case scenario is we treat again to control the reaction.

Hi Evocationer,

I would also like to check with you if swimming is fine for him. He goes to swim lessons twice a week. Not sure if the chemicals that are in swimming pools are harmful for his skin condition. Please suggest.

Thanks
