A woman of 77, grandmother of the young girl next door. 'Grandma, do go over there!' She moves carefully, looks tired. She talks freely, familiarly, as if she too has known me for years. "I have all sorts of things: muscular rheumatism, which is painful in the evenings, but I don't use medication. Complaints of thyroid, diabetes, etc. Has used metformin for years, recently insulin. She could always eat anything, never had trouble with her stomach. Suddenly, six months ago, one evening over a cup of tea she became very nauseous. Ah, I'm going to bed soon anyway, she thought, but since then with everything she swallows: terrible! She then holds her stomach, so much pain she has. Examination: blood good, gall good, scan: some fatty change of the liver.
The stomach region – she puts her hand on it – everything that arrives in the stomach goes wrong. The proposal is a stomach tube, but I don't want that. It feels as if I have eaten cobblestones. If only I hadn't taken anything, I think then, it can last the whole evening. Stomach protectors help a little, but it isn't nice, those side effects. Always nauseous on top of it. Stool is good. Drinking a glass of water gives relief. Tongue clean.
She has pain in the shoulders and wrists, legs, every evening the arms, she cannot keep them still. Her doctor says wear and tear. Feet: there is no feeling in them anymore. Sleeping: I use a sleeping tablet, otherwise I would lie awake looking the whole night, simply wide awake, that is since the thyroid problems. Now I wake up at 3 o'clock and then stay awake, don't start thinking or anything. Otherwise no complaints. Uterus is removed, she had a prolapse, 'the operation wasn't so bad after all, they said I hadn't lost much blood'.
Food still tastes good, good appetite.
Stress and tension: I have that because of the children, the grandchildren, husband. The divorce, their health, the school. She has had a TIA three times, once she could not speak at all, once she had fallen, by a refrigerator, the left side started tingling. Now uses blood thinners. She always wants to be brave. Does a lot of volunteer work, helping and cleaning. Can I help you? I'll come! There are also times when I don't have that pain! It sometimes feels as if the stomach is broken, the food falls onto a wound. I am not a whiner, I don't complain, I don't like that.
After
Cucurbita maxima the pain was gone for a few days: 'those four little tablets have helped, a miracle.' After that it comes back. Such pain in the stomach, also on the left in the belly. Neighbour, please help me get rid of the pain. Years ago the stomach was already sensitive on bending. It can hurt so much, the whole body trembles, pulls through the belly. It is due to nervousness, she is completely preoccupied with it, becomes nervous from it, 'how can that be'. When the food is digested, the pain pulls through the whole belly, after stool it is over. She does have a normal appetite and a feeling of hunger. Some days all day long, some days only after eating.
AnalysisThe way of behaving, confidential, homely talk, cosy despite everything, neighbour please help me, telling ordinary things, 'chatting', considering all sorts of details and trifles just as important as the complaint, that fits the
Caryophyllaceae. Being thrown off 'how can that be', otherwise having no pretensions, simple, not overseeing the complaint.

Follow upAfter three weeks: it is going the right way, once she still had bad trouble after a glass of milk, it tasted good to her but afterwards it started to bite. Before this she had had such trouble for six months, when that pain came up it pulled to the groins, she was very nervous from it. I have taken off a coat, you know, now she no longer feels like working. Now she has no pain, sometimes she feels that there is something, then thinks 'take it easy'. Yes, after those little pills it was over from one day to the next. I thought, I have no pain today, a miracle has happened.
The fatigue now is just as if you have recovered from the flu, she keeps sitting a lot during the day, she had been nauseous and in a lot of pain for half a year already. The pain in the joints is diminishing. What I like to do: cheering people up, I seek them out, they can do so little themselves, they are even older than me. After a few months the stomach still sometimes swells up after eating. She still complains about the fatigue, she would like to continue help people.
