HomeoDr: middle child stutter Page 4 of 4
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi,
Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Hope you are doing well.
Unless we dont get the blood work done for thyroid, it would be difficult to say if he has hypothyroid or not, as the symptoms of hypo is very general and doesn't always point towards the disease. Hence It would be better not to give him those homeopathic combination remedies as the symptom relief will be temporary. Instead we should go for single remedy at a time.
Can you please describe me his behavior with other people, with his friends and strangers?
Growing pain -- What type of pain he gets? KIndly describe the type of pain.
What about his stuttering speech? Is it same as slow speech (word hunting) that you have mentioned?
Kindly let me know..

Around other people he's generally reserved and very quiet. Prefers not to ask for anything and just wait to ask me or his dad. Once he gets more comfortable he will talk more with our friends, but still not 100% uninhibited with them (for example won't be cuddly or snuggly with them, but will talk and engage once comfortable).
The way he is talking now does remind me of the stuttering problem he had awhile back, but he doesn't actually stutter, just seems like he talks slow and takes forever to figure out what he wants to say. For example, he might say, "I want to go to the...the...the...um...store." Similar, though, overall, to the stutter he had. Definitely reminds me of it.

As for growing pains, it seems they are different now than they were last year. Last year it was both legs, this winter only the right leg. Sometimes it will be the foot, sometimes the lower leg. He sometimes will say "my feet hurt" after standing for a few minutes.
Last winter he would wake crying in the night saying his legs hurt, this winter he still wakes in the night but doesn't cry. He just climbs out of bed and comes into our bed. When asked why he woke up, he has many many different reasons why.
It seems overall it's a similar problem to last year, just frequent, short-lived complaints of hurting that make his face frown and a whine to his voice. Then it seems to be gone in a few minutes. He doesn't constantly complain all day, just a couple times a day and then back to playing. Last year seemed more intense on the pain level than it is right now. Right now is just the more occasional. And doesn't seem to interrupt his play.

And yes, I agree with you that the combination thyroid tablets are not the right way to go about this.

Hi there, I'm wonder about trying Silicea again. I used it long ago (another homeopath on here prescribed it) when Kody used to get fevers every full moon. I noticed he happened to get a fever this past full moon, within a couple of days of the full moon, anyway. No one else in the family got ill, just him.
I noticed Silicea would possibly cover the nails being thin/breakable, even appendicitis is on the list.
Abdominal issues as well. Slowness of mentality. Worth a try maybe?

Its worth a try.
Silicea is my 2nd or 3rd choice, but you may try.
Just try a single dose of 30c or 200c . Dont repeat the dose.
Update me in 7 days.

My first choice was Pulsatilla. But I guess it was prescribed to him before and it didn't work well.
In that case you may give him Silicea (its complementary with Puls). Just give one dose of silicea and report in 7 days

Hi there! I'm definitely seeing improvement on Silicea. So for now just wait and see if he gets worse again before redosing?

Hi homeodr,
I wish there was more we could do for my middle son, Kody.
Silicea seems to help some for him, but he still gets very constipated without daily laxatives, he has been somewhat teary, he is often slow in his movements and speech, and I worry that he may have hypothyroidism. I ready hate to have to treat him conventional if I don't have to, as that would mean regular blood draws and medication adjustments, probably for life.

Ok..
Other than constipation how is he feeling mentally and emotionally?
Taking daily laxatives not very good.. it makes your body addicted towards it...
If possible try to cut down laxatives gradually and make him eat fibrous food and food good amount od water.
Have you repeated the dose of silicea?
