Johnstanton,
My son usually sleeps through the night, occasionally he will call me for some reason(thirsty or something) but he always goes back to sleep.
Lately he has wanted the light on, and will sometimes wake when its too dark...he says that he wants to see so he can play, not fear of the dark.
The shyness has been more severe ever since his 4th bday, around that time his bowels became impacted because he was afraid to use the toilet(he thought a "hand was going to come out of the toilet "to get him.
He finally potty trained after we had to use enemas and suppositories to keep him from being too constipated.
He still won't use the potty away fr home.
He was given BROPHYLLYM (sp?) d6 drops and OXALIS cream on his tummy 2x a day. this seemed to help .

also, I'm pregnant , due in Nov. and was very nauseated for 3 mos. in that time there wasn't much regularity in our home .i stopped cooking, and have been very short tempered.
also, he was in a preschool program 3 mornings a week, and that is over for the summer.

I've taken SEPIA 30c in the am and 200c that evening.
Immediately i felt a shift from anger reactions to sadness,hurt,alone feelings, and the desire to not talk about things.
I was able to calmly handle my son , and was waiting it out.
I've noticed that the irritability is returning, and my hands are developing an itchy rash, around the nail bed , only on my right hand which is worse from getting wet.
In the past I've had alot of problems w/ my hands, like a contact dermatitis related to
my hands being constantly in water.
w/ painfull cracking on fingertips
angry red , itchy rash in between fingers
extreme dryness.
This hasn't flared up for the past 8 mos or so until now.
I wonder if i've antidoted SEPIA, at work i sometimes come in contact w/ strong aromas, and had chocolate a few times.

Regards, stClaire
