Anagallis arvensis

Remedy code: 3-664.34.16A woman of 50 years old, complaints are tension, restlessness, overweight. She is particularly cheerful, short in stature and heavyset, round as a barrel, cheerful, and can burst out laughing loudly while talking, and in between laughs loudly. That restlessness, I want to get rid of it: I start everything but don't finish anything, I have a lot of lists in my head. There's always something coming up for me. The weight is getting in my way. It's been going on for a long time, but it's breaking me more and more. We were involved in the takeover of a company, you weren't allowed to talk about it. I fall back into the same hole every time. After the birth of the oldest (20 years ago), it got worse, he was born with a defect, and it was a terrible time. They can touch everything, except your child. Every morning I think: I'm going to do this, but something else comes up, then I go along with the question. I disappoint myself and my husband every time, I don't go to bed satisfied. I do the company's administration. I can't get any structure in it, I can't organize it. You're constantly putting out fires. I do the administration at home, it works better there than at the office.
Sometimes I'm restless myself, I can't focus, can't finish anything. I've always been a caring type my whole life, they come knocking on my door. My concentration, I'm easily distracted. I hear everything. I see everything. Yes, I'm impulsive. On the other hand, I see lions and bears: oh shit, that weight, my knees, soon I won't be able to walk anymore. I don't want to admit that I can't, to admit that there's a problem. I want to be the young 20-year-old, energetic, who can do everything. Especially my body; the energy is fluctuating, but I've been losing ground lately. This summer vacation, I collapsed during vacation, a bit crying, tired, and headache, slept badly, already tired when I woke up. The tension is in the neck, I get massages for that. Much is about work, the takeover of the business, I haven't let it go. If someone says something, I can feel attacked very quickly, and very insecure, I know I'm doing it right. If I don't do something right, they have a grumbling tone, that's too much for me. When I was 15, my mother became paralyzed, I did the household on the farm then. Sister is dominant, she always mothered me and always looked down on me, and still does, but now she gets a big mouth back. I was easily teased, nagged, I was fat, and an outsider. I never really minded that, I accept that.
I've been an emotional eater for a long time, it started after the birth of the oldest, we lived a year in the hospital. My knees hurt when walking, and I often have headaches. Walking carefully is fine, but just stomping, then I can't walk anymore after 500 m from the pain, this summer I had swollen feet. The right knee hurts then, with constant pain, it's over after sitting for half an hour. Headache in the forehead, 3-4 times a week. Paracetamol helps, and drinking a lot, it's in the afternoon or it's all day. Hobbies: making clothes, crafting, being creative. Puzzling with clothes, it has to be functional too. Sleep is variable, it's been restless for a while, and I'm awake a lot. Dreams: very strange things, about people you're dealing with. When I first lived on my own, I had a dream that my parents' farm was on fire.
Blood pressure, just check, it can be high up to 180/90 in pregnancies. Diet is good, without sugars, 9 kg came off in 2 months. Tongue flabby.
I'm thinking a lot, once I go to bed, I can surrender. But in the evening, then I still do some housekeeping. I'm easily distracted, the antennae are always out. When I hear something, I immediately have a picture of what's happening there. Even at night, when the gate is shifted, then I hear that. I'm often emotional, I can cry quickly. Formerly my husband was the manager, I worked in childcare. I do the administration now because I always had something with math and numbers. I used to work with mentally handicapped people, and that was fantastic, since the children I stayed at home. Then I had to have something where you could close the door in the evening. The disabled: that was fun, they're so pure, I'm all about jokes and fun. I was there during my internship, 'This is it'. I've always been temperamental, a time when I could maneuver it a bit better. I've had this tiredness before, especially in periods when I ate a lot of sugar. I have a poker face, I don't let people look inside so easily, I pretend to be energetic, then you don't have to tell everything.
Her quick reactions, also in speaking, and in acting are striking, as we see in Birds indications. Conscientious, heavyset, so Pelecanus occidentalis was given, after which three days very tired, and then back to the same. The only thing that's different since then is that she's a bit more laid-back when things aren't going well, or when her husband grumbles before she grumbles back. The weight loss has completely stopped, although she continues the diet. Headache was less frequent. The fatigue: mainly in the legs, it feels like lead, everything is too much, and getting up, she can't get anything done. Sleeping is going okay now, but almost every night she wakes up at 5 am, but can now fall back asleep better.Analysisgetting things done, rolling up sleeves, functional, Clade 4, a lot of independent thinking, helping, clade 64.
Phase 4 is present, in taking responsibility, and being sure of her first job choice, but also phase 3 in admitting, the 'not meeting expectations', and 'I'm not there yet' of phase 3. So search for possibilities from phase 34 and 43 in the Ericiadae.
The tiredness, being worn out, fits with stage 16. she mentioned ‘poker face’, here she doesn't mean the 'as if' of stage 14, but more the functional attitude to keep going, which also fits with class 64. The vocal outbursts, the bursts of laughter are characteristic of Anagallis and so confirmatory.
Prescription: Anagallis arvensis MKFollow-up after a month: in her opinion some small steps have been made. Upon inquiry: I'm calmer in my mind, no longer constantly feeling like I have to do this and that. Less hurried. If I feel like going to bed now, then I do. Sleeping well now, wake up rested. Not whether I can better put things into perspective. Tomorrow will do. While this period is extra busy, because of the holidays and because my husband has thrown his back out. (So an important improvement in well-being, which she explains contemplatively and analytically, as if she is very aware of everything that remains. This strikingly practical look is often used for Anagallis indications).
I noticed the medicine after two weeks, at first I was very tired, like 'what's in that stuff'. Then the fatigue slowly went away, and more energy came in. I'm still not losing a single gram. In the last few weeks, the knee has been less painful, I can walk longer. Restless legs less often, but occasionally it can still take a very long time. No headache, except for a bit of flu one weekend. I think I'm calmer at home too. In other years, my body responded well to a diet. Always quickly get red patches in the neck area after a busy conversation. Thyroid slightly swollen right below. The next year, the restlessness disappears, the joints and knees are less sensitive, the headaches disappear, and she can walk well. Weight loss is only a few kilos. The mood is good and concentration is better.
