Remedy code: 3-633.16.14
A 73-year-old woman, in good condition, has been seen for chronic or acute complaints for years. Now she comes for a cough that has been going on for weeks, with coughing fits every morning and bouts of breathlessness. Sometimes there's an allergy attack on top of that with lots of sniffles, and sneezing, which subsides with Allium tincture. There's a flu epidemic with prolonged coughing. 'During an attack, I run out of breath'. After waking up, she coughs for an hour, with a lot of phlegm, and urinary leakage, she walks around all day with a panty liner. She becomes emotional, immediately feeling tightness in her throat, her father also had that, and he would then have a panic attack. She thinks a lot about everything. She worries about the smallest things. The big things, well, you can't do anything about those, she doesn't understand why people worry so much (this combination has been seen before in an Aletris prescription). She falls asleep like a log, after 5 hours it's just short bits. Smells make her sniffle. The breathlessness comes when she has to rush, then she gets worked up. If someone who comes to visit is late, if she's going to take a long car ride, then she gets breathless or starts coughing. She sees obstacles, circumstances I don't have control over. It's about control, losing control. In recent weeks, she's been seeing floaters. She has been a grandmother for a few years. A lot of time and attention goes to children and grandchildren. The rest of her time is spent with friends, helping and caring the needy, the lonely. There's a problem within the family, for years now, she's normally relaxed about it; you can't do anything about it anyway. Yet she can lie awake worrying about it, it's difficult because she can't talk to anyone about it, neither friends nor family. Due to articles in the newspapers, it all flared up again in recent weeks, and she has been thinking about it a lot, her trust has been abused.

AnalysisSilicon series: Both her life and the problem are within the family and friends. This is what her life consists of, where her attention goes. This already brings us to the Liliidae. She is a grandmother, and a lot of time and attention goes to her children and grandchildren. The rest of her time is spent with friends. Much Silicon series theme for years. This is what her life consists of, where her attention goes.
Phase 1: flaring up, panic, (cough) attacks, involvement as we know from the Acidums, idealism.
Subphase 6: abuse of her trust, breathlessness, and fatigue also fit. This is about her children, the problem also fits as a cause within her experience, or Phase 6 within Silicon series. helping needy.
Stage 14: nothing can be done, keeping a brave face, pretending nothing is wrong (with complaints), a problem that cannot be remedied, nothing can be changed. Also, think of Plumbum's description of 'mask' and Erbium's 'powerless'. This brings you within this family to Aletris farinosa. She moved for the children, and her position as 'Mater familias' is becoming less prominent (this fits Stage 14), old age is making her take more steps backward (Phase 6). Phase and Stage can be seen as the burdensome factor, the cause, but also the life phase, especially how she experiences it.
Aletris: known for prolapses, tissue weakness (urinary leakage), worrying about small things and being able to put large things into perspective, and tension from not being able to express oneself. Keeping a brave face, pretending nothing is wrong (with complaints), a problem that cannot be remedied, nothing can be changed, all Stage 14. Qjure reports on the Nartheciceae: 'It is the combination of being abused and adapting, out of lacking the power to behave differently'.
Prescription: Aletris farinosa C30

Follow-upThe cough, and breathlessness were quickly over. Then for two weeks, the sinuses acted up, and lots of green snot ran out. Then for a week, still sleeping with the mouth open. The following month, often felt a lump in the throat. Occasionally, she had a metallic taste in her mouth that week (that was on the schedule because of the severe breathlessness): good, sugar, and Hb are fine. She has been insecure for years about how to behave, and closed off, which causes tension because of the medical error and the abuse of her trust, Subphase 6. Here we see an acute complaint that flares up with symptoms matching previous
complaints, and sensitive spots. The prevailing flu pattern had a lot of overlap, but everyone has a basis for why the complaint persists. Especially if it lasts for weeks. The situation of the last few years is taken here as characteristic, burdensome for energy and health. Within the family, the situation is new (Phase 1), she also moved for the children, and her position as 'Mater Familias' is becoming less prominent (Stage 14), old age is making her take more steps backward (Phase 6). This may also be a burdensome factor of the past two years.
