This is a chronic problme so relax, there is no hurry in getting a remedy.
You will need to give more details.
Also I would advise that you see a homeopath on a long term basis, even online. Charges can be reduced if there is a genuine problem.

1. Constipation,has been compacted before
plese describe in detail (use the quesitons in no 5).

2. Decietful
What do you mean? Give examples.

3. Can not sit still,disruptive at home and in school,talkitive
Give details with examples.

4. Does not like to get his face wet
Give details with possible reasons.

5. Describe the child's chief complaint (ADHD) in detail. The following are some of the relevant details required.

i) If this is a physical problem, which part of the body is affected? Please specify the location. When did this present problem begin, describe this present episode in detail? Is this a new episode or recurrent? If recurrent, then how often? For how long do the symptoms last?


ii) If possible, ask the child to explain what he/she feels about the symptom, the sensations experienced.eg: Burning, throbbing, heaviness.


iii) What are the modalities that cause the trouble to worsen or improve? Give details with regard to time, temperature (hot and cold food items and drinks), climate/weather, food items (name specific items or tastes), applications, movement, rest, and any emotional changes which occur.


iv) Add any other symptom that you find related to the chief complaint that is not mentioned above, including how the child feels in general while the complaint is present.


v) What circumstances preceded or were occurring around the time that the problem began to occur? Eg. Weather changes, changes at home, traveling,etc.

Constipation-held it in for days,doc. thinks it was nerves do to starting a new school. Gave lax.and it improved. Has not happened since. But always has hard large stools. But with now pain.

Face-Has never liked getting his face wet even as a baby. No trama. Took a long time for him to to be afraid of going swimming. Gets angry and frightened when splashed in face with water.

ADHD chief complaint-He says he can not control himself. He says when he gets angry he hits it "just happens". He tells me he can not sit still "I just can't". The words just come out mommy. When it comes to learning he gets over whelmed panicks then guesses at the answers. Is worse when around anyone, no special time of day, worse when hurried, better if byhimself but wants to be around someone

He does get head aches but that was from his meds. His right ear does gets imflamed and turns red about 2xs a year but know infection. Whole ear turns red. No other phys. symtoms that he or I am aware of.

Deceitful- He lies about anything. I seems to come very natural for him. Will tell me what he thinks I want to hear. Or make up a story about seeing a movie in school that is why he does not have homework. He saw the other child do it, but it was him and when that child is gets in trouble says nothing.

Thank you
nat

Disruptive in class-talks when supposed to be quite or reading, will get up to sharpen pencil every 15min,throw paper at other students to get thier attention,laugh out loud,trys to be funny,disruptive in line pushes and laughs,talks very loud

At home-screams when talking,pushes as a means of fun,running and jummping ALL over the place,insulting other sibs out of no where,tore up screen in bedroom for no apparent reason,will hurt other sibs and then apoligize saying sorry its okay like he was joking around

Used to be afraid of the dark when going to bed not anymore,but will not go outside in dark not even on our front porch.

All over the bed when sleeping,grinds teeth at times when sleeping

All of his symptoms have been from toddlerhood

I'd like to know about your pregnancy and labour.
what was going on then, and characteristic symptoms that you had, physical problems, cravings, mental state.

Tell me more about his milestones, vaccinations and reactions to them, other treatments that he has had, etc.
thanks!

Also, what was your state of mind around the time when the premature labour pains started? What was going on in your circumstances around that point? Also what is the "preg-mental stress" you refer to?

jonatalle,

do not go for self prescriptions.

as dr leela says, be under the care of a homoeopath. best is face to face consultation or if that is not possible, go for online consultation.

I understand dr leela also has a website and online consultancy option.
