For Homeodr _{Page 8 of 9}

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.

The finances issues i do discuss with my husband. It's not an issue of him helping me. He does all he can; he gets up early and goes to work all day so that I can stay home and raise our child and manage the home. I am capable, but that's not to say I don't have the feelings that I have previously described to you.

My son is 17 months old. He has been eating solid food since he was at least 6 months. And he has only slept through the night maybe a hand full of times in his whole life.
Again, not asking for your advice on weaning, I am simply showing frustration in the situation. Trying to show you the mental states of each of us for homeopathic treatment.

It seems like you're being kind of dismissive with me. Am I not giving you the right information?
I hope I'm not being rude in saying this, but I am not saying the things I say because I need counseling on the issues. I am just trying to give you the clues you need for homeopathic treatment.
I understand if you're really busy, and I really do appreciate your time, I don't mean to show otherwise.

Okay. Thanks. Sorry to bite your head off a little there. I need to work on assuming the best in people and having more patience.

So my son though. I'm thinking maybe Puls is needed again.
We are both getting colds again. I woke up this morning with a sharp dry burning pain in my throat and hot burning sinuses, with slight stuffiness.
Baby is sneezing a bit, this morning and afternoon. His nose was a little bloody after he woke up from his(short) nap, with a little discharge.
He also keeps going back and forth from almost diarrhea to constipated hard balls of stool.
As usual, during the day he is pretty clingy, and wants to be held and carried by me constantly.

Kali mur 6x is for thick white discharges...????
Mine (and my sons) are clear and watery with the occasional violent sneeze.

Ok well I've got the biochemic tissue Salts book, and Nat Mur 6x seemed to not only fit my symptoms better, but also provided immediate results. Especially in the area of loss of taste and smell.
I decided to kick it up and I went for Nat Mur 200c and within 15 minutes my intense tension headache with the full pressure feeling was completely gone, and the swollen sinuses/congestion was down by 90% at least. This was two days ago, and I am continuing to feel better quickly. And I haven't sneezed since, either.

My son has received one dose of Pulsatilla like you suggested-- he was doing very well for about three days, then now he is slowly (eac night) getting a little worse back to how it was before.
The Puls not only kept the cold at bay but it also , most significantly, improved his sleeping, to where he was sleeping soundly from 9pm-4 or 5am when he would ask to nurse and then sleep again until 8am.
I, in turn was sleeping very well too.
He sounds like he's got a bit of mucous rattling in his sinuses, but they may also be swollen as mine were. I can't aspirate much out each morning.
His daily behavior has changed too in that he has been screaming a lot...for fun. Very high pitched. Just whenever he feels like it, also when he's frustrated. He was fighting with his cousin over toys yesterday and doing that high pitched screaming when his cousin would try to play with the same toy.
He's also got this intense pinching that he's doing...he wants to grab a fist full of my skin and pinch as hard as he can...I'll tell him no, and he will outright do it again and again in defiance.
Was considering another dose of Pulsatilla, but maybe it's a different remedy....??

Hi-
I need help again.
I've been ok with Sepia since we last talked here, but over the last three weeks I seem to have circled back to "square one" with my condition. I feel awful.
I am constantly so so tired, sleepy, I feel like a zombie. I am in an OK mood, not too grumpy or anything extreme. I just feel very dull and unanimated. I kind of feel like I'm in a daze- my mind is hazy and l my thoughts and mental powers are simply lethargic.
I'm not too worried about anything really that's going on, I definitely don't want to do anything at all, except sit on the couch, or lay down and sleep.
I have been very forgetful, from moment to moment, and I seem to be unable to get words out of my mouth when speaking--I have the word in my mind but it's like there's a disconnect between thought and speech and I pause and say "uh...uhm..." a lot.
I don't know what happened; I seemed to be on such a good role of improvement and all the sudden I crashed, and nothing seems to make me feel better.
I really am in great need of energy and motivation -- can you please help me out?

I was thinking of trying Calc Carb...but I'm not sure.

Thanks.
I do have a Sepia in 1M....would that be too high of a jump?

Also, my son is sick...again....he apparently catches colds easily...
He's been sick for about a week exactly and I gave him another dose of Puls at the beginning of it, but it didn't mak any difference. I've got the Cell Salts covered...nothings been making a difference, although he does seem to be finally coming around.
But what's persisting is his phlegmy cough and his very hoarse, almost lost voice. His nose runs occasionally and it is always clear and watery.
We are worried about the cold going to pneumonia.
His mental state is very obnoxious. He tightens his jaw and will grab onto the cat and pull his hair and shake him, chases him around and hits and kicks him and thinks it's funny when he cries out. He seems hyper-agitated. Seems to want to pick a fight.
But at other times he will be very sweet and only want to cuddle and read books with me.
Also his appetite is very peckish lately.
Maybe because his throat hurts? Maybe due to congestion?
What should I give him?

Well... it's so hard to nail this down I think because at this age the name of the game is change. He's growing so fast and every few days or so he's adjusting and learning and, well, changing. He's doing better now. I'm not worried about it so much. We've been playing outside a lot now that we've been getting some nice weather--I think that helps a lot.

I don't think Sepia is helping anymore. I don't feel any better. I did a little research and I believe it's my thyroid that is causing this as I did have some tests done last year showing slightly hypothyroid. I took some L-Tyrosine a few days ago and that perked me up temporarily.

I am feeling somewhat depressed, a little bla but not quite sad. I feel abandoned by family a little. And the last week I've had to leave my son with a babysitter and Ive found that I really don't like being alone.
I feel a little of a dark cloud creeping in on me. Overwhelmed and frustrated along with the tiredness. I have no motivation, and I have a really hard time organizing a project--as in I can't figure out the steps myself. I need someone to be there and help me lay it out and tell me what to do. Like I can't think for myself...because I'm too tired, it's like my mental powers have gone on vacation. My brain feels scrambled. I can't hold on to too many details at once. Yesterday my sister was explaining her plans for the next few days and I got so lost after just a few words, I couldn't remember what she said just seconds after she said it, and none of it made sense. People probably think I'm not listening because I ask them the same questions over and over. :(

If no one is there helping me stay on track, I just start to wander around and do random things, instead of focusing on the one area at a time until each step is done.
I know I'm not being productive, and I know I could be doing better, but somehow this all feels out of my control.

Also I have been having really intense dreams every night. Some are really scary, and some are emotionally charged. I only remember the specifics for a few minutes after waking...last night I dreamed about my horse again....I haven't in a while. Trying to find him, missing him terribly. Crying, and calling for him.
So this is all very frustrating and I really need my brain to work better...

K thanks.
I don't have health insurance at the moment so I can't afford the doctor visit for the test, but it is a priority, as soon as my insurance becomes active again.

Do you really think that is the correct remedy? Or are you just saying that since I suggested it? I don't want to try it if it's maybe not right. :/

Okay. I will go ahead with it

Hi
I haven't had a chance to update till now.
The dose of Calc Carb did seem to help a bit. I have felt maybe 60% better. The first day or two we're kind of rough, especially with sleeping. Very light and tossing and turning and weird tension in my whole body that seemed to be wanting me to bend double. After that I slept a lot better and my days have been pretty ok. In the last 3 days I would definitely say things are winding back down though. I'm feeling the sleepy tired coming back, today especially was hard.
My mood has been pretty ok, except I have been kind of short and grumpy with people; I get very flustered and irritated when questioned....about anything. I can't handle the pressure to answer. I can't think of an answer, I just become irritated and stumble over my words, and then dismiss with a cranky "I don't know" or "I don't care".
I'm also pretty darn cold, it is cold in our house, but it is really difficult for me to get warm, especially at night.
Is it time for another dose? Or a different remedy

Bumping up :)
