Baby with eczema _{Page 6 of 9}

Too bad. Thanks anyway.

I don't understand the need to stop everything cold turkey in order to be able to be treated. Especially with something like Wellbutrin. If I stop that I'm going to start feeling suicidal. Being as how homeopathy seems to take time to pin down the right remedy, I don't see that as a viable option, especially with me home most of the day alone with 3 small children. And what would you have me do instead of birth control? At some point, my husband and I would like to do something permanent, but right now either me or him having to have surgery is just not ideal. He has to work and I have to take care of the kids.

But the baby can't be weaned. He is not allowed solid foods and formula would constipate.

And yes, a slow removal process would be the way to approach the Wellbutrin. While simultaneously providing something to help in the meantime. Else removing the only thing that's helping is just making the patient worse. I can't afford feeling worse in the interim. I don't have the free time to sit around contemplating suicide while my husband watches that I don't kill myself.

Anyway, I suppose it's useless to argue since that is just your way.

Too bad I didn't know about homeopathy till 10 years into depression. Now kind of stuck...oh well. On to something else I suppose.

Well I am stuck more or less just blindly trying to figure out my own way, since I can't afford to see an herbalist or homeopath, or do acupuncture or anything else. Once in awhile I can afford to buy a remedy or two, but that's about it. If homeopathy can't help me where I am then I'll have to find some other modality. Herbs maybe, though I don't know which one may work. Keep trying is all I can do and try to keep hoping that it will get better.

There's nothing to think on. I don't have an option to stop birth control, and stopping the other meds is not advisable. Unless you have some plan for me on how I'm going to manage withdrawals, and something to keep me from getting pregnant (aside from abstinence), it's not going to happen.

I don't understand your comment.

Are you referring to me?

Hi HomeoDr, just wondering if I could get help for the baby as well. He is very fussy. Teething, and at the end of a long illness. Wants to be constantly held, does not want to entertain himself for more than a few minutes. Always crying and fussing about something. He has been sleeping worse--waking more often, waking up crying, restless, and not wanting to fall asleep. Only falls asleep when exhausted, and after many tries to put him to bed. He won't take his afternoon nap until very late, and then is up until 10:30pm. Then sleeps till about 8:30am. He only sleeps about 10 hours at night, seems too short to me, sometimes only 9 hours. And is grumpy all day. He started out doing this after his first hospitalization some months ago, but it's worse now from the recent illness he still hasn't gotten over. I tried Chamomila 200c about 2 weeks ago and didn't see improvement. Prior to that I had tried Pulsatilla 200c for seeming afraid of strangers. It seemed to help, but the next day he started having greenish-yellow nasal discharge. That was the beginning of this illness (which we all have had). He still gets dried green boogers in his nose and has a little cough in the mornings. Some nasal congestion at night. His intestines have slowed down since the illness as well, I have been having to use laxatives frequently. The stool is soft, though, just not forthcoming.
I'm wondering if his ears might still be bothering him some, he scratches them now and then.

Also his eyes are still a bit goopy in the mornings (seems that for all the boys, some sort of eye infection or possibly tear duct infection was part of the illness). His eyes don't seem to be bothering him--he doesn't really rub them or anything.

He seems happy with being carried.
