Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi ri I really think this is a case for a good psychotherapist; at her age she is eligible for treatment by the local Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team, to whom her GP should have referred her long before now.(but probably hasn't, GPs still think enuresis is a 'physical' problem) Trouble is, they often have long, long waiting lists. I'm with the mother to some degree on not wanting hypnotherapy, she's a bit young for that, however, her reluctance could be a bit more than it sounds, eg if the girl is being/has been abused and mum doesn't want this to come out. All in all, it sounds a bit tricky, and I'd be wanting to speak to, at least, the school nurse, to share the problem with someone in the orthodox field who has a bit of knowledge about the girl and her background. You need to get both mum and daughter's permission, though, before you go talking to anyone else. In the meantime, have you tried Equisetum and Verbascum? I presume you've done all the nervines and taken her off dairy.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Dear ri, She certainly isn't too young to have hypnosis. I am married to a child psychologist who often uses hypnosis in children much younger. Since the waiting lists for clinical psychologists are often long and her problem may be related to school another option would be to contact the local authority educational psychologist department. This can be done directly without the schools permission. Obviously not all ed psychs use hypnosis but there are plenty of other behavioural approaches which could help her with relationships with peers and if there is any bullying they can act with the school.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks , Ammenorhea has been attributed to the drugs....... . She is over weight and has an unhealthy complexion (pasty, soft). No, she is not pregnant. No UT infections, no physical cause. Her GP has had her checked out from top to toe re physical causes. Drinks...........no soft sugary drinkks or very little. Thanks ri Enuresis > ri - > > You say this pt's periods stopped a few months ago. What age was she when > her periods first started? Why do you think they have stopped?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Sorry, Pat, didn't mean to pour cold water on hypnotists; just have some experience of well-meaning people trying to use it with children inappropriately, and concerned about mother's unwillingness to explore all possibilities. Hope I didn't tread too hard on sensitive toes!
