Remedy code: 3-665.72.08.
A 35-year-old woman, she is tall and broad, radiating charge and tension. She is dressed in dark clothing and has black makeup. She describes her character as ‘resolute’, ‘hard’, and ‘grumpy’, just like her father. The complaint for which she comes is ‘extreme anger’, which is always present, and it makes her restless. She feels attacked easily, has a short fuse, and is often angry or sad. Talking about it helps, but usually she lacks the words for it. She had also had physical complaints for ten years, and recently she was diagnosed with MS. Last year, it started with trouble with her left eye; it hurt when looking. After that came fatigue and dizziness, her vision deteriorated, her left leg doesn't function properly, and she stumbles when she is tired. Twelve years ago, she suffered from conversion disorder for a year; she would faint after exertion, her speech was strange, and her gait was consequently poor. This began after a period of abuse during her studies. Subsequently, she developed a double kidney infection following a stressful period; since then, her bladder has not functioned properly, and she has had a catheter. She had to stop her studies and sports; she felt useless. She did not want to talk about it with a psychologist. For her, it was a fight for life and death; she was hospitalized in critical condition a few times.
Because of her experience in hospitals, she went into nursing; she wanted to do something for people. She now works in the emergency room and enjoys it: the adrenaline, the ‘puzzle-solving,’ the teamwork, and the dynamics. She has been in a good relationship for two years. She has always had anger, even as a child; she then would lose control and throw toys. Now that she is getting older, she realizes, ‘This is unacceptable, I have to go out of that’. She is now angry when she cannot put words to her feelings and when she thinks she is doing something wrong. She sleeps well when she is with her partner; sleeping alone is restless. She has no dreams, moves often, and mumbles in her sleep. Her hobby is making music. She was prescribed prednisone a few times, which caused palpitations, bradycardia, a feeling of being agitated, excessive hunger, and fluid retention. She cannot tolerate alcohol and does not like coffee. She can’t work now due to MS, and has reintegration therapy. Driving car makes her restless and angry (shouting ‘stupid people, hurry up’). She also has days when she is sad; she would like to understand why. With too many stimuli, she can no longer follow a conversation; in the past, she actually enjoyed crowds. Her vision on the left is worse, and there are often spots.
Dichapetalum cymosum and Tungsten metallicum do not give improvement. After Symphytum officinalis, she feels a little calmer and less agitated. However, after a few weeks, she experiences a flare-up of the MS, along with the prednisone medication and the associated symptoms. Afterwards, she remains emotional; an old pattern returns, she feels restless and constantly starts tidying up, experiencing it as compulsive behavior. In the past, she experienced this with cleaning, counting things, and locking doors.
AnalysisA change following medication is often a guiding factor in the analysis, a characteristic, a release of vegetative or mental tension. So we can use the ‘counting’.

follow upAfter the first week, she feels calm, stable, and happy. She is no longer fierce, no longer impatient. Physically, she is more stable. She is now experiencing stomach issues, a gnawing sensation after eating; it is a complaint she had years before, as she once had a stomach ulcer. She dreams more and sleeps well. She is drawing and cooking a lot at home. She feels calmer, can now put words to her feelings, and as a result, she can cope better with the pain in her bladder and stomach. She feels that food is not going down, getting stuck in the esophagus when eating bread or eggs. After three months, she is still suffering from fatigue; movement is going well, and she no longer explodes. Her ‘dark aura’ is gone, her eyes look soft, and she radiates. She dresses colorfully. Her relation is wonderful. She is busy with rehabilitation and reintegration.
