It worsened and then got better correct? He didn't just worsen and stay the same.
This is an issue with dosage. I have been neglectful in not being more careful with the jump to 200c for which I apologize. However this does not mean he is not going to improve. The fact that he was improved, but worsened again on taking the 200c, implies the Cuprum has more work to do. However if it does not, what will happen is that a new direction will show itself, as always occurs when a patient reacts strongly to a medicine.

Yes, it does ameliorate some but not completely, still stays more than before starting this remedy.
How should I dose myself with the Bryonia 30c?

Make a bottle as before. Hit twice, 1 drop full cup teaspoon. Do this once a day for no more than 3 days then report the response. Don't continue if you appear to aggravate.

Hi Dr. David,
I took the Bryonia 30c for three days in a row as you suggested and I have felt better since. (The last day I took it was about 4 days ago). I have had some hip and lower back pain which I don't know if related, and some vaginal itching...no strange discharge or odor, nothing out of the ordinary, just itching like crazy. And very dry eyes also, although it could be worse from the weather. A bit better today though. My son finally stopped aggravating (I think) about a day ago, (so about 9-10 days of aggravation!) and he is back to his usually wandering around, needing my attention constantly, not knowing what to do with himself self. I don't feel like there has been much amelioration, but his mood is more back to his normal self and not so grumpy and frowning and getting angry with everything.

Ok that is good to hear about you, but I believe the 200c will produce better results.
With your son, there will normally be a quiet period in-between aggravation and improvement, which he may have just entered. If nothing good comes of it, I will reassess the case and look for a better remedy.
Long aggravations usually mean long slow rises to improvement as well.

Oh, good to know. I will order the 200 if you think I should. I was thinking this might just be an acute, but maybe circumstanced have pushed me into a new chronic remedy? Do you think the dry eyes, itchy, hip pain, etc could be related to whatever the remedy is doing? I still get aggravated (I mean irritated) sometimes, but have enjoyed company more and forgot all about posting here, which is probably a good thing, I think.

You can only be one remedy at a time. Every chronic state produced acute flare ups through a person's life, which help to identify the remedy that person needs. Very few 'acutes' in chronically ill patients are genuine acutes, but merely a new manifestation of their chronic disease.
So this 'acute' may actually be pointing to the correct 'chronic' for you.

Haven't gotten the 200c here yet. I feel really homesick tonight, really sad. The place we used to live was full of sunshine and warmth and people were mostly happy and there were fun things to do and I miss the friends we had. You could be outdoors almost all the time. Not here. We are stuck inside for months on end without seeing the sun. I have not been able to get over it since we left. I am obsessively looking at real estate ads there because that's what I tend to do when I get so anxious and homesick that my heart hurts and I feel like its hard to breath. It's like a part of me was ripped away, I don't feel like myself anymore. I had lived in lots of places before but never really felt at home. That was my home. It fit. I just feel sick in my throat and I want to cry when I see old pictures. It's beautiful there.

My mom (who we live with) is going to visit her coworker and his baby at their house in a couple of days...the baby (newborn) was dx with MRSA before he came home, and I know my mom is going to hold him. She thinks I am paranoid about this but I keep telling her to wash her hands a lot after...I am really worried that she might contract this and pass it along to us. We have other relatives in another state who we haven't visited for a year because they have it now and I don't want us or my son to get this. I try not to worry about things like this, but in my research I came across support message boards with hundreds of people recounting the hell they have been through because of this. Please tell me not to worry, or at least what she should do to avoid catching this...thanks.

Staph infections respond readily to homoeopathy, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
OK, but I still feel like we should avoid staying at our relatives house while they have open sores, am I correct?
I am still very tired. Feel ok, just very tired and focusing is hard.
My son is better after about a week and a half of aggravating. Most symptoms are better, but now he is following me around the house like a puppy dog, follows me into the bathroom, everywhere I go. Asks me for candy every day and generally whines when I can't be with him every second. He would play if I were playing with him, but when I need space or am otherwise engaged in something else that needs my attention he is moping around the house, wandering and whining. Always in my face when I am doing something else, like he can't stand for me to not be next to him.

He will alternately go and bother my husband when he is working on something, and go back and forth between the both of us, like he can't stand to not be paid attention to. However, if we were to try and pay attention to him when HE is engaged in something (like watching a favorite movie), he would be cross and ask us to leave him alone. So always on his own terms, and he cannot stand to be ignored when he is bored. Will act very silly and nonsensical, anything to get us to look at him and laugh. He has a LOT of trouble initiating his own play and will wander around asking us to play with him. Being an only child does not help matters, lol.

I am feeling fine mentally, but getting a cold, starting with hoarse voice, tickling throat and some coughing (not a lot), and now stuffed up nose. Should I redose with the Bryonia? Thanks!
allicando last decade
Happy New Year! I never redosed since I didn't hear from you, Dr. Kempson, but my cold went away in a day or two. I am still pretty tired though, and have somewhat of an urge to eat sweets. Feel emotionally ok, but brain fog and trouble concentrating and focusing. It is hard for me to follow in conversation. I have been tired for as long as I can remember, literally. I feel a real lack of motivation. Not sure if I need to wait or if I could take something to help with this? Thanks!

Hmmm....well I did prescribe the Bryonia more on the need to be alone, the aversion to being disturbed, the irritibility, the desire for peace and quiet. Are those things still present?
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Ehhh...not really, although I did spend a good amount of time alone today, but it was more from being tired and having no motivation to get things done. Just not feeling like interacting much from that...not so much from being irritable with anyone. Noises are not really bothering me.
allicando last decade
Well after my last post I pulled a muscle or something in my back and had a hard time moving around for a couple of days. It is back to normal now. I am still very tired though, and eating too many sweets. Feel like I can't concentrate, also feel a little anxious or nervous, not sure exactly what about.

What potency of Bryonia did you use? Only the 30c?
