This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hello Pereira.
I will try to help you, but I need more information.
Can you tell me more about your son. His mood, the physical ailments. Are we talking about edema, face, legs? Is there pain, and can you describe the pain? Pinching, cutting, burning, etc etc, please explain.
Is there anything that can alleviate the problem, such as heat, cold, pressure, lying quietly in bed, movement, etc, etc, please explain.

Something that makes the illness worse? Please explain.

Is there blood in the urine? And, is there a particular odor from urine?

Sincerely; Parakletos, a practitioner of classical homeopathy.

Thank you very much for your reply.
He is pretty ok but some times have mode swings and gets a little emotional at times.
He currently has no edema on any part of his body but does complain sometimes of leg pain if walking for a longer time. Yes due to predisonale he has chubby face

Okay, I think that the medication your son needs is, Apis melifica.
When you buy this medicine, buy 30C and 200C. Do not take any other homeopath medicine.
You can mix a dose, 5 pills, 30C in a glass of water. Wait until they have dissolved. Give a spoonful of this water to your son. Remember, just one dose. (Pour out the rest) Wait a week, contact me and give me a report. Or if something special would happen.

Are there any questions, please feel free to ask.

He is currently on predisonole and should i stop the homoepathy nephro mix too
 
Pereira last decade
No, dont stop neprho mix.
Maybe later when the homeopati medisin starts do work.

Parakletos
 
Parakletos last decade
Apologies for to many questions but how would we know if the homepathy medicine you prescribed is working as he is already negative.

What is the purpose of nephro mix?
 
Pereira last decade
Hello.
Sorry, I misunderstood. A little stressed sometimes. :-(
You can stop Nephro mix

Quite correct what you say, hard to know what works if you take many homeopath remedies together.
(When Apis begins to function, you should be able to see it for urination and bowel movement.)

Have you ever checked your son's thyroid gland? Could be that there is a connection with kidney problems.

Apis is also a good medicine for thyroid problems. When the symptoms match the remedy.

Sincerely; Parakletos
 
Parakletos last decade
Yes its been a week since we started Apis and noticed him asking for more water and urination time increased.

Secondly due to predisonole his stomach had bloted or grown bigger which has now subsided.
 
Pereira last decade
Hello again.
Looks good, seems like we found the right medicine. But you must continue to keep an eye on the patient. Notice the new changes, and if this trend will stop. Then it's time for another dose, 30C.

What you now have noticed: He drinks more, more often on the toilet, and his stomach is less bloated.
Is that correct?

Have you noticed if his mood has changed, more energy? Or eating habits, eat less, or perhaps more. Fancy unusual food, compared to the one he usually like?
Other?

yes all of the above is correct and the changes that i have noticed.

Yes did find him a little more energetic than usual. Eating habits are not changes after the start of homepathy. But when the predisonlone was reduced from 50 to 40 mg we definitely noticed the food intake has reduced.
 
Pereira last decade
What happens when you give a homeopathic medicine is that the energy contained in this medication, triggers the human body's life energy.

When you see that progress has stagnated, you can give another dose.
How would you describe the situation now?

Parakletos.
 
Parakletos last decade
The change symptoms seem to be going fine. He does ask for more water and urinates frequently.
But just noticed that he is just catching a little bit of COLD and noticed he having itchness at the rectum too...worried.
 
Pereira last decade
Good to hear that there is a posetive progress.

Not unusual that one can get a cold, in connection with such treatment. Actually it's a good sign that the body tries to correct an imbalance, and possibly get rid of various substances.

In the case of itching in the rectum, it is difficult for me to answer what is causing this.
If possible, check whether there might be some kind of worm.
If you find that there is a worm, you should follow these tips:

* Good hygiene is the key.
* It is important to bathe daily.
* You must also make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after each toilet visit and before each meal.
* Towels, bedding and underwear should be changed frequently.
* worms and eggs can lie under the long nails, so it is wise to keep the nails fairly short.

However, if you want to be completely secure, you must go to the doctor to investigate further.
Wait a few days to see how it develops.
Could also be that it has a relationship with the healing.

All in all, I think this looks very good.:-)

Please keep me updated. And note, if there are any changes. Eating habits, energy, mood, etc.

Hi Good Morning!

Sherwyn is still negative with his protien..did a urine test this morning too.

Noticed some changes
the first thing he ask for when he get up is water as if he is very thirsty.

Like for example today when i gave him water he drank about 3 sips of the water without stopping and repeated the same again.

Usually when you get up in the morning the quantity of urine is more but in his case over last few days noticed the quantity of urine passed is not much and its yellowish.

Sometimes he mentions that he want to urinate badlyurgently but when taken the quantity of urine is not much.

Am a little worried.
Regards,
S
 
Pereira last decade
And good morning to you too.

Well, it is time to take another dose of Apis. The same way as last time. I think I mentioned that we will not see adequate results before we come to 200C. But it is important to take it gradually, step by step. So you can give him a dose of 30C.

Wait and see 4-5 days. Give me a report after that, or if something special would happen.
(How is it with this anal itch he had?)

A friendly greeting; Parakletos
 
Parakletos last decade
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Should i be diluting two pills of apis 30 in water and giving a teaspoon to him?

The anal itch is not there since a while now.

But does grind his teeth a little sometimes at night.

Regards,
 
Pereira last decade
Both anal itching and grinding of teeth, can be a sign of worms in the stomach. We can look at this after we're done with Apis. (Could be that this medication helps in this problem too, but we just have to wait and see.)

Take three to four pills. They dissolve relatively quickly in the water. 10 min. Give a spoonful of this mixture.

Parakletos last decade
My son has been doing fine after the apis his urine output is also normal.
but today morning while i tested his urine noticed 1+ 30 mg protien on the strip.

Was checking on his diet the only change was he was given badams. Are badams ok ??
 
Pereira last decade
1 + 30 mg / dL is a bit high. His urine is tested every day? If you do this, this is unusual compared to other days? Or is it a bit up and down?

'badam', is not sure what it is?

How long has it been since you gave the last dose of Apis?

All in all, how do you think that your son is now compared to before the Apis was given? Would you say that there is a change? And in case there has been a change, in what way?
Please explain. Mood, and physically.

P.
 
Parakletos last decade
We do a urine test almost every morning and it has always been positive until today. 'bADAM' means Almonds a nut. Was trying to access the reason for the problem with the diet and noticed only almonds was something new introducted.

After Apis the urine output has been good and clear too. He is a little more active than usual.

Shall be doing a test tommorrow too as i have not given him almonds today.

Shall keep you posted on the same.
 
Pereira last decade
Sorry missed out
We did give him apis last week that is on Friday.
 
Pereira last decade
Okay, but now it looks as if it needed another dose. This time in 200C potency.
You can give him medicine tomorrow. Same procedure as with 30C.
200C goes deeper into the issue. So it may be that you will see new changes in several areas. Physical, mood, mentally.

Please pay close attention to any changes. Make a note of them, and please give me a report.

Almonds contain a bit of prussic acid, hydrogen cyanide, can be that he reacted to this.

I will be traveling on a short vacation tomorrow, but I'm back Monday. It is possible that I have internet access where I'm going.

Kind regards; R.Flemming
