3 1/2 years child rolling eyes _{Page 5 of 8}

Woke up yesterday night. Complained of pain in the lower legs. On asking her to point exactly where the pain is she pointed near the knee and near the ankle (both legs). Also feeling hot (asked for more fan). We massaged her legs. Slept again after 20 minutes.

Has NEVER complained of leg-ache before. Had not been a particularly tyring day atleast physically. Did not sleep in the afternoon. Had not taken dinner properly before sleeping. Had emotional stress during the evening period.

Her fontanels had filled up late (filled up completely only by 20 months after birth). Teathing started by 5th month and was normal. Started walking when one year old. Glands on the back of head are enlarged and hard -- have been so since early infancy.

Skin of the souls is not as soft as should be for a child of her age. Skin on the base of smallest toe fingers hard/dead (like in adults). Usually walks bare-foot when at home (marble flooring).

Emotional stress due to another conflict at home. Her mother cried and she cried along with her mother in sympathy.

Pain in the legs happened after the emotional stress.

Overall she has been getting better as the days are passing. And we are now optimistic that she will be fully normal soon.

I have procured the medicine. We try to make sure that she follows the eating restrictions when she is at home.

Today she is having a friends birthday at school. Surely she will get some sweets/toffees to eat. We enquired from the teacher and there are no birthdays after today for a week.

Should we give the medicine tomorrow morning or should we wait for another day and give it only on day after tomorrow (after the setback from eating toffee/sweets is over)?

Please advice.

Noticed some aggravation after she came back from the school. Probably due to the toffees she had there.

Will give Cal Carb 200 tomorrow.

As mentionad earlier, she was showing continuous improvement over the past one week in her main symptom (rolling eyes).

Day before yesterday she would have rolled her eyes only 5-6 times.

Yesterday after she was back from school, she was rolling eyes more often. It was not too bad though (may have rolled 10-15 times during the day). We are assuming that it could be because of the toffees she had there. Not sure though. Could have been due to some other problem at the school -- maybe just incidental.

She was happy and tired when she came back from school.

Except for the increase in the frequency of rolling eyes, we did not notice any other change.

Warm Regards

Quite better today. The aggravation seems to have subsided. -- Regards

The child was given a dose of Calc Carb 200C in the morning before she went to her school.

Noticed some aggravation in rolling eyes when she came back from school. She was otherwise happy.

She also had 1 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon. Had more perspiration than usual. Constipated -- did not pass stools -- passed wind. Very sleepy in the evening -- rubbed eyes. Sleepiness reduced after having dinner. Finally slept at 10pm (usual time).

Noticed some other changes too which may be due to Calc Carb 30 dose given a week earlier. Skin has become softer on the legs/arms (more baby-like). Ealier the skin was somewhat rough and dark. The hardness on the feet/soles is markedly reduced.

Warm Regards

She did not pass stools on the day she was given Calc Carb 200C. She passed stools on the day before (evening). She also passed stools today noon time.

So it is only a slight constipation -- missed stools only for a single day. Constipation is not a new symptom. She was constipated when she had her first fever/convulsions (three years back). After the Puls 1M dose too she passed stools only on alternate days.

Like yesterday, she is having afternoon nap today too.

Agternoon naps about 2 hours.

Did not sleep yesterday afternoon. Rolling eyes symptom too was slightly aggravated.

Our room cooler was not being used for a couple of weeks. As the whether has become hot again, yesterday the room cooler was put to use again. And she had the air coming directly on her. That may be the reason for aggravation.

She was already looking tired when she woke up in the morning. Did not take proper meals in the morning. Kept saying that she is feeling sleepy -- did not sleep though.

Had good meals (unpolished boiled rice with potatos) in the afternoon. Felt sleepy again -- listened to some stories -- did not sleep. Went to park in the evening. Played actively - - had quite a bit perspiration (head, front, back). Complained of stomachache while having dinner. Was not given any medicine. Had normal dinner. Passed wind immediately after having dinner. Went to sleep within 15 minutes after passing wind.

So looks like some gas problem -- one of the causes may be the room cooler.

Also noticed -- just when about to sleep -- perspiration on the joints of the arms (opposite elbow). And on the portion of the head facing the pillow.

She seemingly gets less affected by the family conflicts. Though the conflicts are also less intense now.

Another change is that she now retorts when her younger brother tries to bully her. Earlier when her brother used to hit her, she used to just cry and complain. Now we have noticed that she hits back.

for the past two days, she has been saying that other kids in the school do not play with her. yesterday she was very upset about this. today she said that she asked other kids to play with her and when they did not agree, she played alone. on the way back from school, she cried/screamed on trivial issues.

did not sleep yesterday afternoon. there are clear indications that she gets negative thoughts and that is why she is not able to sleep in the afternoon though she is very sleepy. had a short nap (one hour) today after she played for about an hour with a new friend and was extremely tired.

as for the main symptom (rolling eyes) it was still aggravated yesterday. today there is improvement.

this is not the first time that she has been upset in this manner. earlier also she has complained that some kids are not friendly.

she has two teachers attending to her class in the school. one of the teachers was absent for the last two days. fortunately the teacher has joined back today. another factor may be that she is probably the youngest kid in her section.

also that we had told her to play alone if other kids ignore her -- and yesterday she did just that. she apparently did not feel very good -- though she tried to adjust to the situation.

her mother does feel left out in the family. actually even after five years of our marriage she gets a feeling that i and my parents are a unit and that she is an outsider. she keeps complaining that she does not have anybody to talk to. a lot of times she is depressed about this situation.
