Woman, 38 years old, looks young, cheerful, and balanced. Tall, great posture, supple, and upright, she speaks easily and comfortably as if she is leading the conversation herself, although it's her first visit. Takes up a lot of space, gentle, and easygoing. "I've been trying to get pregnant for almost 5 years. After 1 year, I ended up in hospital investigations because my cycle was very irregular. Before using the anti-conception pill, the cycle was 28-32 days, then I got into a relationship and used the pill, after that, it was about 60 days. I had courses of hormones and stimulants, which made me emotionally hit the walls, but the menstruation remained the same. It has actually worsened. I was treated by naturopaths for viruses, and later hormone therapy, now the cycle is back to a month. I don't want more tests and investigations. In the last few months, from day 15, there is a light bleeding that lasts until menstruation. My problem with this: still, I have the desire to get pregnant. The fact that your body doesn't function, your system doesn't work: that's rotten. I feel bloated, restless, continuously feeling like menstruation is coming, stinging in the stomach. Irritable, short- tempered, very much to myself. A frustration that my body doesn't function. It's hard to explain. I stopped the pill back then because the relationship ended; I had no problem with that. In the last half-year, I can wake up from the pain, two days of cramps, then I walk a bit bent. Now I have a new relationship, I am happy. We are very relaxed about it. I am self-employed, visit companies for administration; they hire me. I find it relaxing for myself. After bankruptcy, I decided never to work for a boss again. I also work with dogs, a kind of coaching and mirroring of the owners. It came about like this: I started exploring 'what makes me happy; you can decide everything yourself now.' This seemed so nice to me; I ended up being a horse coach, but that's too big for me. I want to give people something. They diagnosed fibromyalgia with me, years ago. There was finally a term for my complaints; I investigated when I have problems. Especially the neck, I am hyper mobile, the shoulders especially on the left. For example, when driving a car, I get tired quickly, everything starts to hurt, I feel exhausted. The pain really pulls; I squeeze all day. Since puberty, I have been to physio, doctors, and scans. Then I had continuous pain. I can keep it somewhat stable; I do dry needling. Puberty? I wouldn't want to do that again. I was very insecure. Felt very misunderstood. I already had a boyfriend at a young age, went too much into his life, lived from his feeling, adapt myself, and afterwards, I saw that I was fine after all. Much gone to the ratio. Not feeling understood, by my parents. I found school very complicated, 'I want to get rid of it as soon as possible,' what should I do. The body doesn't cooperate; I would like to cry a little, but that doesn't help me. Sleep is very good, no dreams. My body is very sensitive, also quickly gets bruises. Hobbies: fitness, boxing, boot camp. I did that fanatically; it clears your head, that intensity, I miss that. I stopped every few weeks and tried again. I love dancing. While trying to get pregnant, I said 'my body is not ready yet, there is something in me, so the body is not ready yet.' I feel that, yes. I also ‘know’ it will be okay. I have such ‘knowing’ to others too. I see what people have; I was always very sensitive to energies. I became aware of this during a course with horses; for example, I can be very tired after visiting someone who was sick. Can be tense if I was good enough. I take responsibility. I went through such a process, 'who am I.' I had an enterprising father with a construction company, an insecure mother, I try to give shape to how I don't want it. I have had a strong sense of responsibility since my father's company went bankrupt when I was 16. I haven't learned much from it; I think there has unconsciously been a switch.
Analysis
Silver series: neck and shoulders, in response to many things I ask: 'how interesting, how nice that this has everything to do with it,' Silver series as a researcher, philosopher.
Silver series5: Complaints with fibromyalgia, hormones. Sensitivity, to atmosphere and to people, she is very open. Due to her joy, I ask many personal things, and then she blossoms completely, it is as if you can walk in and feel everything of her being. This often occurs in a Malvales indication. Furthermore, she is non-verbally very strong; all properties that are so strongly present that Malvales is a clear choice.
Phase 34: The pain complaints, the first signs of fibromyalgia, started since her father's company fell, so her parents and home situation are very important. Parents: father Phase 4, mother Phase 3. The underlying layer is insecurity, Phase 3, what she shows is certainty, the Subphase 4.
Stadium 11: endure, hold on, tension. Full of self-confidence, yet waiting and almost stuttering in the conversation is known from Bombax.
Prescription: Ceiba petandra C200.
Follow-up
Within two days, she feels great; after a month, it is still the same. It feels a bit more balanced; she radiates. She can shield herself much better without having to make an effort for it, stays with herself regarding energy. Wants to know everything about the medicine, what it is prescribed for, what it does, inquiring. Menstrual pain is much less; normally, she can't sleep from the pain. Also, less blood loss. The mood is calmer. Urinating a lot, must go to the toilet quickly. 'In the morning, I am quite tired, but I sleep well. Maybe that stands out now because everything else is going so well. Before menstruation, I always feel very bloated; the stomach is swollen, and I have no desire for sex. Fibromyalgia seems the same in the first few weeks; it is worse in weather changes and moisture, a few days in advance, I can predict it again. It is cramping, the neck, shoulders, also fatigue and quick sore muscles in the legs always. After two months: the last week there is irritation, tired. No more problems with fibromyalgia, still the shoulder, a place that can start nagging. Pregnancy; I actually don't want that doubt anymore. But it doesn't feel like disappointment. I think I am standing in a place where I can move on, that I am on the path I have to continue. My feeling is that I will still get pregnant. Energy is good, no more pain. Menstruation is regular, without complaints, still a short period of intense pain at ovulation.
