Well, here we are at the end of March, and my little trichster is still pull free!! I am so proud of him! After the children went to see their dad for spring break I noticed when my little trichster returned that he had started biting his nails a bit more than he was when he left, and he was playing with his hair, twirling it (and it is SHORT) as much as he could, or just gently running the shaft of the hair between his finger and thumb over and over. Not hard enough to pull it out, but enough attention to his hair that I got nervous.
So I emailed Tanya about it. She gave me instructions to give him two more doses of specially prepared remedy (the same constitutional) and the behavior has again retreated!! It shows me that in fact we have won the battle, but have not yet won the war against trichotillomania. I don't know if the "war" will ever really be over or not, but what I do know is that I have my son back. My lovable, friendly, happy son. With a full head of hair, no holes in his clothes, and the beginnings of normal finger nails. And we are blessed to have found Tanya.
This summer will be the hardest for me to deal with I think, as their father has them for 6 weeks over the summer. I am sure I will be a nervous wreck, wondering if he is pulling again or not. My exhusband has strict instructions to contact Tanya if the behavior starts again, but lets just say he isn't the most observant person in the world. And my trichster is good at being discreet in his pulling when he does pull.
Anyway there is hope, for anyone reading this blog who is fighting the battle against trichotillomania, there is hope, and I hope that my blog helps you find hope in your own situations.
