He is dark under eyes and actually a little red on the cheeks, blushed today once...can´t tell for sure because it is sunny here...

Normally he is not clumsy but these days he has been that. He has fallen and hurt himself a few times. This is not normal...But it seems to have reduced by now...Today I havn´t noticed it. He was a little clumsy when he was young,

So far no obvious improvement. There are though some process going on because new thougths are coming up.

Yesterday he said following: -'Am I adopted cause I feel so very different from you all.' (he is not adopted)later he said '-If someone should die it has to be me because I have lived my life, I am satisfied with my life now, I think I have done enough...'(

Another thing he said was: - 'I feel like I am two different persons mum. And I hear different voices in my head. I asked if I am two persons but the voice said that I am three persons.'

I don´t know if these things matter but I have never heard him talking like this before..It worries me much!

He is not worse but I think it´s status quo...

I have been thinking a lot about the sudden improvement that arose after the first Sulphurdose. How come this happened? Is it possible that the effect was due to the Lycopodium? It lead to such severe aggravation....isn´t aggravation a sign of simillium? just some thougths from an amateur...What do you think?

Thankyou for your advices!
Best regards Pia

Some more reactions: slight eruptions in skin of the face (around nose), low appetite, craves sugar enormously.

I have been studying the 'Essence of the sulphur constitution' and it fits him so well...Almost everything fits him!!! So it must be the right remedy...unless there is some remedy that is very alike...Do you have another one that you are thinking of? It would in that case be interesting for me to study that one...but as I said Sulphur fits perfect as I see it. The only thing is that he is quite vain and he does care about how he looks.

Best regards Pia

I ordered Anacardium orientale and afterwards I saw that there was Anacardium occidentale also. Hope I did right?

Pia

It will take some days to get it and meanwhile I will study Platinum.

Another reflection: Big conflicts when I and my husband get very upset and angry with him gives him great relief. Yesterday was terrible with a lot of cursing and being mean to his little brother and when we got really angry with him. He yells and a lot of negative energy seems to release from him. (he used to hit us and throw things before but that has stopped...)Afterwards he feels very good and is relaxed and happy. He asks for forgiveness and is very nice...normally this lasts for a couple of days and then he starts to get irritated again and it accumulates for a couple of days until next big conflict...

Pia

I am still trying to get the anacardium, the webshop isn´t answer. But in the meantime I want to clarifye that vanity really is a prominant feature by him. Nice clothes, luxury, nice cars and so on....he adores it...

Best regards Pia

Thankyou for the readingtips! I study very much because it is so interesting. It is also very difficult to understand the remedies from Materia Medica. I guess I have to rely on your knowledge. I think we try the anacardium as you say...There are some indications for Platinum also but the Mind description is not so rich in MM.

I have to order from Helios now because the Swedish webshop seem to be closed for summer...

Best regards Pia

Some comments of Platinum (my comments after the **):

The Platinum proving represents the woman's mind perverted.

**Only women???

It is especially suited to hysterical women such as have undergone fright, prolonged excitement, or from disappointment, shock, or prolonged hemorrhages. She becomes arrogant and haughty.

**Arrogant and haughty - YES!

Mind: One of the most striking characteristics of this drug is pride and over-estimate of one’s self. She imagines that she is of a high born family and that her friends and relatives are of lowly origin and looks down upon them.

**Pride and overestimate... Hmmm...Not always but in some situations and sometimes...he is also insecure about himself sometimes, puts himself down, is very sad about himself being not nice etc. My words would be self-centered, egoistic, no empathy...

Her acquaintances are inferior to herself. A strange thing about this remedy is that this imagination extends to the body. She imagines that her body is large and that the bodies of other people are smaller in comparison with her own. She is in a contemptuous mood, anxious and serious over matters that are not serious, irritable about trifling things, is moody and sulky over slight vexations, anxious, weeping. Palpitation, trembling in all limbs during every little excitement, fears death and loathes life.

*Her acquaintances are inferior to herself...No! irritable about trifling things, is moody and sulky over slight vexations...YES! He is overreacting, being very angry or irritated. Often he first gets in a excitable and stressed state and then the irritation with it´s outburst comes...

Fear is a very prominent feature in this remedy. Fears that something will happen, fears that her absent husband will never return to her, though he comes back regularly. Restless disposition, excitable, walking, moving about, and weeping.

**NO! Hardly ever talks about any fears...But only he knows. I feel that there are many things he holds to himself...almost never answer me if I ask questions about how he feels etc...

The mental symptoms alternate with the physical symptoms. Strange illusions of fancy. Imagines than she do, not belong to this race and becomes insane over religious matters, sits in the corner and broods and says nothing. Takes on insanity; becomes a sexual pervert, utters unchaste speech and trembles.

Spasms will come on from vexation or anger. Whistles, sings, and dances. Talks constantly about fanciful things. She may go into melancholy or into mania. Any disturbance of her pride will bring on her symptoms.
**Hmm...Sometimes talks constantly about fanciful things. Melancholy or mania, well he is moving between these...but not always, he can be quite calm too. If disturbance of pride means 'lose his face' then YES! Hates being told what to do etc...

Ok! This was not easy but at least I have tried ;) Words can mean many things, it is hard to understand what Kent exactly means...

Yes, I order the Platinum also. 200C I guess?

Pia

Dear Sameer,

I gave him the Anacardium 200C on friday morning. I am not sure about any reactions. On friday and saturday I felt he was a little bit softer/sweater than usual but now I think he is the same or worse. There is no dramatical change but he has been quite aggressive especially towards his little brother. You need to be very careful what you say or do around him cause he will easily get very angry. As long as no one is provocating him he is calm. He is very irritated with his little brother. Has no problems with his friends and plays with them all day.

There is one incident that I am thinking of. I have mentioned it but very shortly. about one and a half year ago he was assualted by a boy in school. I know that this was a very big issue for him. I think he got very scared and he gets very upset when we talk about it. His condition has been worse after that event. The schoolsituation has been difficult. He was very scared and he thinks that the schoolteachers did not listen to him enough afterwards. That they did not blame the other boy enough. If you ask him he gets 'dark eyes' and say that he hates that boy...and if we talk a little more about it he always start crying...He was very in shock when this had happened.

Another trauma for the family was in 2004 when we were in thailand when the Tsunami came. We didn´t got hurt but the situation was very chaotic. My boy were at the beach and saw many children get caught in the wave...he doesn´t want to talk about this at all..

I don´t know why I havn´t mentioned this before, there are so many different aspects so I forget some...

His problems started long time before this events but they may have importance anyway...

Best wishes Pia

He is pretty unmoved by apologies but he often ask for forgiveness after he has done anything wrong.

No, he has not been throwing things the last weeks at least. He just yells and if we don´t stop him he may push or hit his little brother. Not so much cursing either more like this 'If you say one more word I am going to beat you down' (to his little brother).

Yes, his behaviour changed after the incident. He was angry for a long time when coming home from school. He also started to cause trouble in school, not doing his schoolwork and talking, arguing with the teachers. He was very angry with the teachers. He said that they was on the other boys side. Then there was another accident in februari this year. This boy and my boy did argue and said unpleasent things to each other. My boy was worst and he got all blamed for it. This may be right but he could not take it. He still has the other accident in his mind and therefor thought he was not to be blamed. After this he did no more work in school, refused to take up his books, crawling around on the floor, being rude to the adults, talking with friends during the lessons and so on. He was also very angry when he came home in the afternoon. When I finally found out what was going on he was very upset and told me that - They say I am one that bully and then I don´t care about anything anymore. After some months we made him change class and then the situation was better for him. I think the result was that he knew that everybody in school looked upon him as a bad boy and that´s why he fulfilled that.

Before these accidents he has only showed his negative sides at home and not in school so much.

I think he is reacting to milkproducts and therefor we are trying to avoid them as much as possible. I have seen that he gets very angry and moody after drinking milk. This is also true for both my little boy end me too.
