  1. Greetings All

    My daughter (3 1/2 years) has lately started to roll her
    eyes (as if looking upwards). This symptom appeared a
    couple of months back. She does that when she is
    thoughtful (and sometimes gloomy). She actually stares in
    a direction (sometimes suddenly while playing) which
    sometimes is followed by rolling of eyes (as if she is
    looking upwards).

    The rolling lasts for only 1-5 seconds. And she is back
    herself once it is over. She does it more often when she
    is feeling let down or generally sad. And yes she is
    keeping sad quite often these days. The symptom (rolling
    eyes) becomes more frequent when she is sleepy. She takes
    a lot of time in going to sleep though she is visibly
    very sleepy. She also aggressively rubs her eyes when she
    is sleepy.

    She also has a younger brother. There is a lot of sibling
    rivallary. She is visibly sad if somebody praises her
    younger brother or when her mother is paying more
    attention to him.

    Of the other symptoms, she has acute aversion to milk and
    curd. She takes/likes other milk products (like cheese and
    Indian sweets) though. The aversion to milk started after
    a high fever (and convulsions) around three years back.
    She also has a lot of dandruf.

    Rolling of eyes is a new symptom. The other symptoms have
    been there for a period of two years.

    After consulting reportory, I gave her Pulsatilla 1M.
    After taking the medicine, she urinated quite a lot (every
    half an hour). She also started sleeping more than she
    usually did earlier. I also felt that there is some
    aggravation followed by some improvement. But after one
    week of giving the medicine, she has not shown much
    improvement.

    Please help me find the right medicine for her.

    Regards
    - Puneet

  2. She may be having mild seizures. My friends daughter had a
    mild form of epilepsy and would 'go away' for a several
    seconds, especially when she got too excited. It was like
    she got short circuited. Her eyes rolled also.

    could be. Petit mal seizures should be evaluated by a
    neurologist. I would take the child to a pediatrician for a
    thorough examination and possibly a referral to a
    neurologist.

  5. Puneet, here are some links to read. First she would need to
    be diagnosed, there is no 'cure', however there is
    medication and some diet recommendations.

    If a doctor verifys that this is what it is and you live in
    the U.S., you may want to look into Social Security
    Disability for her in the future as a possibility.

    One thing at a time. Please let us know what your find out
    and how it goes.

    Best to you, Coleah

    drweil.comdrw cda.html command=TodayQA
    pt=Question-questionId=3740 You may have heard about the
    ketogenic diet -- a high-fat, low-carbohydrate and low-
    protein diet, with limited fluids -- which causes ketosis,
    the burning of body fat stores for fuel. For unknown
    reasons, a ketotic state can decrease the number of
    seizures. The diet is very hard to follow. It seems to work
    best for children ages one to ten and those whose epilepsy
    isn't well controlled by drugs. It doesn't appear to help
    adults and adolescents.
