Dear Rochelle, it is often the anxiety in Rhus tox that drives the
restlessness - that and profound sadness and despondency as well as extreme
fears - fears of being poisoned, delusions he is about to die, that someone
calls to him at night (there are so many). There is also delirium (which
this case has/had I seem to remember), all usually worse at night.

There is also oedema, can be anywhere, but often the eyes, face, legs,
ankles, genitals (well that is almost everywhere!). I had a rhus case where
the person could hardly walk because of the oedema. Surely I don't need to
mention the skin sx but.. can be dry, hot and itching as well as vesicular,
pemphigus, herpetic, cellulitis, burning eczema with scaly formation,
crusty, urticaria - you name it (what MM would you be reading to suggest
otherwise?).

But I personally wouldn't be repeating the dose or changing potency (or
remedy) if you feel the Arsenicum has acted. Be patient and wait a while.
This person has reacted quite badly to high potencies before, this should be
enough of an indication to stay lower - keep it individual.

Best wishes, Joy
