Desires: salads (2). refreshing food (2), starch (2), sweet, chocolate (2).
Aversion: sour (3), mayonaise, green pepper, onions, cabbage; little thirst.

Sleep: difficulty falling asleep, because she thinks of frightening things, like ghosts and witches; she sleeps on her left side, but turns a lot.
Dreams about circles and triangles from which she can’t escape.
Dreams of frightening things she has seen on television.
Mind: She likes organising everyone, is the 'boss’ at home, has her say in everything. But at school she is very quiet. She is kind and quiet, but doesn’t like being on her own. She can play very well, playing doctors, building tents etc.
She is very sensitive and feels unspoken feelings. She cries easily when she has pain, when she is frightened, and when her father quarrels with her elder sister.
She likes the colours turquoise and pink. She likes being noticed by her clothes, or her violin playing. But she wouldn’t like to be noticed in the way where, for instance, she was the first or the last girl in the class who started her menstruation. She would like to own a big mansion when she is older. She has fear of high places, but only when she looks down.AnalysisHere we have the same sort of story: frequent doses of Puls or Lyc, without any real success. Fortunately, having found the family remedy, this case suddenly became easy to treat, because I recognised the indications for Arg-m.ReactionThere was a clear mental as well as physical improvement after Arg-m.
