My son, who is 4yrs old has always had a more reserved temperement, i would never seek to change who he is ,but lately it has developed into a problem for him.
He is, fairskinned, blonde,curly hair.
blue eyes, average build

as a baby he constantly nursed, less from hunger & more to turn away from the world...extremely sensitive to noise and stimulation.

as a baby, when riding in a carseat, he would cry if someone sat beside him, he didn't want to be looked at, and would cry or want to nurse if too much attention was paid to him(without activity ex/ playing,tickling)

He has always been a good sleeper, sleeping better when alone in his own room.
he doesn't usually sleep during the day anymore, but NEEDS his quiet time .

He is comfortable playing with one child at a time. He has a hard time initiating play and usually gets very rough with the other child , not leaving them alone, esp if the child is younger.
When in a group situation ,where there are children his own age(esp boys), he will NOT approach, either clinging to my legs and talking baby talk if an yone tries to interact w/ him... he will sometimes sit alone away from the others and rub dirt into his hair and on his skin.

he seems to be more comfortable in the company of girls, esp older girls, and older children altogether.

He has an explosive temper, and pushes every limit when told "no"
when angry he will scream angry words such as "shut up" "i don't love you" "i want to kill people" etc...
Very afraid of new situations, and reacts with fear and panic.

He had scaly excema on his legs when he was a baby/toddler
Any help in selecting the correct remedy would be accepted gratefully.

Thanks, stClaire

Dear Stclaire,

He used to be "so mild"? Is there anything in your thinkings that you can attribute to this "CHANGE"? (anything at all , even a remote thought)

Dose he sleep all night by himself?

This may seem unrelated!
What was the outcome of the "SEPIA" prescribed for you? (please explain) When exactly did your child change?

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

Dear Stclaire,

Give your son "LYCOPODIUM" 1M.

You did not antidote the remedy!!!

Do you feel better in reguards to your mental health? (please explain)

DO NOT put anything on your skin rash!!

Wait!!

If you feel better (mentally) with the rash, then the "DIS-EASE" is moving in the correct direction. We must now wait and see what characteristic picture develops so as to prescribe "CORRECTLY". Moving the dis-ease further away rather than suppression. Yes, one can suppress homeopathically; But we "DO NOT" want to do that.


If you feel desperate (concerning your rash), then do not esitate to post .

Please do not put anything on the rash at "ALL". Just normal washing.

Help John - again I am struggling to understand your reasoning for Lyco 1M. I saw another remedy with the first post but would like to know what this child looks like physically. What is the size of his head like in compared to the rest of his body. How daring is he? What is his reaction to milk?

johnstanton,
thank you for the swift reply
in regards to my mental health, i do feel in control ,which is better.
the only thing i have ever put on the skin rash is a water barrier cream which is emmollient.

the rash definately worsens at work with constant water & detergent exposure.
should i stop that creme ?

Ricky,
my son is fair skin, lt blonde curls
head in proportion to body
not at all daring, but very apprehensive,he will sometimes follow older children , but on his own NO
When he had excema as a 1yr old, he was on milk, the rash cleared up when we switched to rice milk
now he occasionally has milk & cheese with no ill effects.
we also took him off soy products ,which aggravated the skin and caused yellow inflamed diarheah, leading to scaly, red, wet diaper rash which took a long time to clear up ( the rash resembled candida with weeping sores)

he loves dairy products, ice cream, cheese, but i don't know many kids who don't.

thanks, stClaire

Dear Stclaire,

I suggest stop the creme. Yet do not esitate to post when the rash or anything else is "DISTURBING" you.

The child you carry is very important. Keep the dis-ease on the outside; definitely not suppressed to the inside.

not particularly, i've noticed that the glands in his neck are large sometimes, but no mucousy conditions unless he has a cold.

Its calcium carb, both for you and your child, forget the other prescriptions.
One dose only, each, and wait. pref x200.
