For Homeodr _{Page 7 of 9}

I did give him one dose back a few days ago but the congestion cleared so I didn't give him more.

However it is back the last two days and I finally got some to come out with the nose sucker last night and it was thick and green so I have been giving him silica 6x today. It's back to yellowish white but still thick.
His nose is not dripping, it's congestion way up in his sinuses.
Anyways, yeah his attitude is still the same. And nights are an absolute disaster still. :(

Okay, but what about his attitude and sleep?
He is throwing fits, hitting, and screaming and crying when things get taken away. He won't share toys, but says, "no! no!" And jerks the object away.

No I dont

I just saw this--have had a busy week.
I will give Chamomilla to him tonight and update in a few days.
Thanks.

So far so good with the baby....I'll give it a few more days before I actually update on him.

A quick update on myself though....I am feeling kind of really overwhelmed with all the demands of my daily life and future goals...I feel like I can never keep up or get it right. I keep messing up....and no matter how hard I try things keep going wrong. Last night I kind of had a moment of realizing another bummer issue and I just wanted it all to stop. I wanted to give up and walk away from everything for a split second. Usually I'm trying to find solutions.
It feels a little better now that my son isn't being quite so demanding, and is sleeping tons better...that helps. But I'm still just on edge and I don't want people to ask anything of me.
Today I've got a pretty bad headache that's kind of making me a little nauseous but I think I'm due for a chiropractic appointment.

I feel kind of depressed and unmotivated, and I have zero creative ideas for dinner, which is the most frustrating thing since dinner is my primary goal for each day. It feels like too much pressure.

I took Sepia 30c yesterday and it immediately made me feel better. I'm glad cause I wouldn't have been able to accomplish a thing with how I was feeling yesterday. :(
I have been more patient with my son and I don't feel weighed down ...I feel eager to do my "chores" and I feel like I'm enjoying my son again...he's not getting on my nerves. And it took my headache away.
I'll let you know how it's treating me in a few more days.

As for my son, the Chamomilla is doing wonders. Last night he actually slept through the entire night...in his own bed!!!!
The first night he slept most of the night, and might have slept through if my husband hadn't had the lights on at 4:30am.
He's been taking two hour afternoon naps consistently!!! Which is joyous for me LOL.... and he's not throwing fits (as much) ....
All around he's better. His cousin is coming over today so we will see how he is with another kid and sharing and stuff.

Sounds good. Will do.

Hey just a quick update on my son. His mental state is holding steady in a positive direction. His sleep has declined again slightly, but not by much. He's been having difficulty falling asleep again and tosses and turns quite a bit, waking up around 2am wanting to come into bed with us again.
Another development that's been going on over the last three or so days-- he's got serious diarrhea...at first it was normal colored, but now it is green and explosive, and his bottom seems to be tender, although it doesn't really look too red.
I've been giving him Nat Phos, and Fer Phos...I tried Mag Phos last night too because he was having coughing fits pretty much all night. The cough is dry.
I also have been giving him Calc Phos today in case he has some gut irritation/digestion upset other than just the remedy aggravation.
I'm thinking of giving another dose of Chamomilla, but I am not sure and I don't want to make it worse.
What do you think?
(BTW, all above mentioned medicines are cell salts given in 6x)

I think it's been two days.....lol
His attitude has gotten much worse as has his sleeping. He's waking up crying again, and oh, so grumpy.
He will be happy as long as things are going his way, but if I take something away he freaks out.
Getting him to take a nap has been very difficult. He wants to play but I make him lie down and he starts screaming and hitting and kicking.
Oi.

I am not feeling super great....it's mostly physical, I think. A little bit just frustrated because I am difficulty concentrating when I am reading--I can't really grasp/retain the sentence, and I feel like I'm just mechanically reading each word. I have difficulty retaining big picture scenarios....for example, trying to figure out my monthly finances, I'll get confused on last weeks bills and the next week, and forget important factors that determine the following scenario....if that makes any sense at all. It's difficult to explain....

Physically I am feeling a little tense in my neck and shoulders, and my head is tired. I've also been having random sharp cramps for my entire cycle ever since my period ended, which is pretty unusual.

My son is pretty good during the day, until his nap, it is very difficult to bet him to sleep, and then when he wakes up he is very difficult and grumpy.
He does take a nap during the day, most days.

I took a dose of Sepia 200c last night because I had such a horrible headache and I was in a really bad mood and was snapping at my husband and saying grumpy things I didn't mean.
I feel a lot better today, hopefully it was the right thing to do. I also went to the chiropractor today and had my neck adjusted.

No, I promise you that is not the case. Not by a long shot.

First, there are plenty of studies showing that poor night sleep is directly correlated to poor daytime naps in children under, let's say 3. Napping tends to wane from 3-5.
Shortening naps, or waking a sleeping baby is never advised by medical professionals.
Second, it's just as difficult to get him to sleep for his nap (if not more) as it is at night.
Third, any kid whose life consists of eat-play-sleep is going to have a little fit about sleep when it means being removed from play. But the little fit should quickly surrender to the sleepiness.
So that's the issue. He fights the sleepiness and becomes hyper vigilant, day or night.
The other pattern I've noticed is he is much, much more grumpy after he naps. But that is not to say he shouldn't be napping, that means he's not sleeping well.

Thanks.
I will have to order it.

Hi,
this is a little bit of a long one, sorry...
I don't know why remedies only seem to last me a week....but I do feel that any positive effects of Sepia are wearing off.

I know I have been under a lot of pressure lately with this house buying endeavor, and since I have been the primary organizer of all the paperwork and official stuff, I feel a very heavy burden to stay on top of everything and not mess up. I am very worried that I will screw something up.
I am most concerned about our bank account, as I am the one who handles the finances and organizes the register. But numbers and coordination has never been my strongsuit. So it's a great effort for me to figure it out, and I am always fearful of mistakes...which I have made in the past and it is very stressful because those were small things. And we're about to take on a much larger responsibility and if I mess up it's not going to be a small affect. It's a lot of pressure. So that's what is heavy on my mind lately.
On top of my daily chores, and keeping up with my toddler-- trying to figure out how to be a good parent...I just feel overwhelmed.

At night when it's time to go to sleep I lay awake (trying to sleep) and my mind is busy with all the lists of things I still need to do, and I can't quiet it. I feel like if I'm not trying to figure something out in my mind then I'm not being productive and I'll run out of time.
When I finally fall asleep I dream about whatever was the last thing I was thinking about. Very busy, active, dreams. And very unrestful sleep.
In the day time I have some energy to do things, but my mind is quickly overwhelmed with what I should do first (can't make a decision). I feel like if I do one thing, then I'm not doing this other important thing and I just don't know where to start...then I get frazzled and kind of end up doing nothing important.
I'm tired, but I need to keep going.
I also haven't had any interest in physical intimacy, which is not normal for me. I have wanted to, but only because I feel like it's important to connect and we haven't in a while...but I don't feel like I need it.

It's been exactly one week since my last remedy.

So I haven't done the Chamomilla 200 yet for my son. I decided to try making a dynamized solution of the 30 for him and try a single dose to see if there was any improvement. Before I did that I did kind of come to a conclusion that a lot of his daytime grumpies were due to wanting more real food. So I have been working on that. He eats a lot.
His sleep is still a real issue though. I haven't seen any improvement whatsoever since the last dose of Chamomilla. It is so difficult to get him to nap, and when he does fall asleep it's for maybe a half hour if I'm lucky. He will fall asleep easily in the car, but at home he fights it so hard.
At night he falls asleep easily if he hasn't taken a nap since he's exhausted, but then he wakes up so frequently wanting to nurse, and is disrupted by my every movement, so I'm really not getting good sleep either.
I'm strongly considering night weaning him...somehow....I want to very badly, but I don't know how to do it and I don't want there to be any long bouts of crying.
