For HomeoDr _{Page 2 of 5}

Thanks--sorry I didn't think to post it before.

Will do. Thank you!

I feel that my oldest is not doing well. Keeping in mind his remedy may have been antidoted with the eucalyptus from bug spray on the 11th, he has seemed to just not be doing well all weekend. We went camping from Friday till now, and I thought it would be great for him, helping him relax emotionally and play and get lots of good sunshine. Instead he has seemed tired, looks slightly ill, has had diarrhea alternating with constipation, and seems sad or morose. He's been walking slowly as if he's tired or sore the last couple days. It seems to be particularly his legs, like they are stiff, and dont want to bend well. He has been complaining of his tummy hurting after eating and when hungry. He peed himself the last two nights (both nights were away from home, sleeping in the tent), which he almost never does. Seems like he just never woke up and went ib his sleep. This morning I gave him some of that Chelidonium 30c, when he had diarrhea, and it did seem to firm up the stool for him. The stool issues seemed to be caused by him drinking too much juice, but didn't resolve when he had no more juice and was drinking milk and water instead.
He just didn't seem to enjoy himself camping and just seemed out of sorts and unwell. He seems withdrawn into himself and unhappy. He seems overly concerned about hearing things that aren't there, but so far it seems like it was just normal things that I could explain. Other campers, bird sounds, etc.
He seems to have circles under his eyes, especially the left, almost as if he had a bruise. His face looks pale.

Oh, and also he said he hurt all over, so I gave him some Eupatorium perfoliatum 30c (I would just use an herbal preparation of this and the Chelidonium but the homeopathic ones are easier to obtain).

Sorry one other thing, he says he has a headache, all over, just where his hair is.

OK will do, thanks.

Hi there. I think I will watch and wait a few more days. Wednesday was his last day of school, and it seemed like leading up to that, he was just a nervous wreck. Wetting himself, pooping in his underwear, headaches, etc. Now that school is out he seems calmer. I think I'll let him establish a baseline and see how he does before I ask for a remedy.

Thank you. Do you think it's a good time to go ahead and go over what's going on with him? He still seems to be struggling a lot and overall is sad much of the time.

I'll try to remember everything that's going on.
He complains of his heels hurting after playing outside. We think he may have flat feet like his dad. He says his ears feel plugged still. And complains of hearing noises in his ears.
For the past week he tells me every night that his heart is broken. But he doesn't know why. We've had a lot of stress with baby's issues and I feel it's wearing on him. He does a lot of passive-aggressive behavior, trying to get away with things that maybe would make us mad, but aren't bad enough to get disciplined for. And just outright going against what we say, almost just to get negative attention.
Right now the attention has been on baby, and me with the kidney infection, and I know Ethan tries to do attention-getting behavior when someone else is in the limelight. For example Kody (the 3 year old) will hurt himself, and Ethan will purposely hurt himself so he can try to direct attention back to him.
He complains of tummy pain often, and will often seem to not be able to eat beef much. He'll eat some and then say he's "full" (even though he loves beef). Then an hour later will be starving and pig out on chicken or carbs.

So Ethan is peeing his bed every night. This has been going on maybe two weeks. Sometimes he wets the bed near morning, sometimes within a few hours of going to bed despite empying his bladder right before. He is also getting his underwear during the day, seems to be not recognizing the need to urinate and it just starts to come out of him. I try to wake him in the night to go pee, but I'm having a hard time waking up myself and he is so inconsistent about what time he needs woken up to avoid an accident. I did give him a dose of his remedy maybe 10-14 days ago, I can't recall when it was. I tried redosing maybe 4 days ago. It hasn't helped. He is also complaining a lot of his feet hurting, his knees hurting and his legs hurting.
He also frequently has tummy pains. When I asked him if it hurt or felt yucky, he said his tummy hurts like an owie. I give him a tummy tea with licorice, peppermint and other herbs which helps make it feel better in the moment but it hurts him every day. Often when he wakes up first thing, and when he lays down to go to bed. Sometimes in the middle of the day as well. He's been wanting just carbs---bread, cereal, pancakes, chips, etc. Red meat seems to bother him though he wants it, it sounds really good to him, but he'll only be able to eat a few bites. He avoids most foods, it seems. I'm wondering if he only eats foods that are easy on his stomach.
He seems down a lot and has been lying a fair bit. Usually to avoid getting in trouble or avoid having to talk about something embarrassing, unpleasant or personal. His stool issues are not giving him any trouble right now, just the urinating.
He's had a kidney/bladder scan and a urinalysis which were both normal.

My husband thinks the bedwetting started after a close friend of his said some hurtful things to him when he was over to her house to play. She was having a bad day and was calling him names and putting him down, saying he was acting like a baby.

He seemed angry and disappointed at the time. He told us, bit by bit about the things she said. He seemed indignant about the affront and bummed out about it, like he just couldn't believe she has said those things. He said he never wanted to go play with her again and would only go to her house if she wasn't there.

No, I don't have any on hand, but I will see if our local store has any.

Just reporting in that I obtained the staphysagria 30c today and gave the first dose this evening.

How long until I might see results? I don't see any change yet, good or bad.

Ok thanks!

So, I'm not really seeing anything definite from this remedy. He had one night that he didn't wet the bed, but that was possibly because we restricted his fluids before bed. He has wet the bed (actually the diaper, since we started putting him in those, and sometimes through the diaper into the bed) every night otherwise.
He has still been getting headaches, on the side of the head on his left. Often his scalp seems overly sensitive. In fact his whole body seems overly sensitive, and emotions, too.
He still has been complaining of tummy aches frequently.
He has been mostly wanting to do the opposite of whatever we say. Always trying to argue, reason, or plead his way out of doing most things. Doing a lot of passive-aggressive stuff, lying often (it seems).
His feet still hurt often, legs sometimes.

Also, his short-term memory is really poor. He sometimes forgets what he was going to do while he's on his way to do it. Sometimes I think he just mirrors me in everything. He gets mad when I'm mad, for example. And since I'm mad most days, he seems moody all the time.

Do you mean seeking attention in a positive way or negative attention (with bad behavior)? I suppose they both amount to the same thing. I think his attention-seeking is more pronounced when with friends, I think he may come across a little too intense for some. He is very huggy, likes to touch. I feel bad because I know he wants to be close to me physically but I feel like I don't want to be touched, so often I'll have him move over. I do still try to give hugs. He loves hugs and snuggles.
At home he's more quiet, still wants me to play with him often--I think his little brother isn't as "fun" perhaps-- or just won't play what he wants. He seems to like to be in charge and tell the other kids what to play. Definitely a leader, I can see leadership qualities in him, as well as very creative and always trying to come up with ideas and new solutions to problems. On the down side he uses that to try to get out of unpleasantness such as cleaning room or going to bed. It ends up being manipulation. Lately he has been trying to bribe friends (and us, family) with money to get people to do what he wants (example, after that one friend said bad things about him, he told her on the phone that he would pay her a quarter if she would be nice to him from now on. Apparently she wanted more than he could offer because the amount kept going up until he said, "I don't have $100).
When he gets aggressive or bossy to his brother or someone else, I tell him that's not appropriate and give him an example of a better way to say what he wants (asking nicely vs bossing). Sometimes I ask why he is mad, usually he will say it's his little brother but sometimes I'll ask, " Is it because I have been so grumpy?" And usually he says yes. I apologize and tell him I love him but am just tired, etc. I know it's not good enough but it's the best I can do at the moment.
As for his dad, he seems to admire him and want to be like him when he grows up, but generally his moods match more to mine. He also has the forgetfulness I have. I would say physically he is just like his dad, hot-blooded, usually healthy, and likely has flat feet from him, and he is very outgoing like his dad, but emotionally he is sensitive like me, and has the artistic tendencies like me.
He generally is happier when Dad is home because Dad likes to spend a lot of time outside,and is generally more fun and not as down as me. Dad is more others-oriented, and I'm more inwardly-oriented.
