A girl of 11 years, she has cerebral palsy, with neurological abnormalities, and mental development of 4 years old, often angry and always restless. There is no strength enough in her legs to stand, she does crawl around, but mostly she is in a wheelchair. She drives herself, usually shouting “hi” loudly to everyone, from a distance looking very happy and uninhibited, closer she will look at her hand or past you, but looking for contact. She can suddenly start to 'buck' restlessly, mother has to get her out of the chair, and lift her up. She is very active or not at all, and it is difficult to get her to tense up, or regulate fatigue. She is on a diet because of sugar spikes. You can't brush her teeth, you can't do the hair, you can cuddle. For a year now she doesn't take an afternoon nap. When she is tired she sits on the couch with her thumb in her mouth. The birth was a ‘hell of a disaster’, the pregnancy a lot of stress: a lot in the hospital, there was domestic violence with her partner. The mother suffered from gastric mucosal inflammation, which was an indication of the pregnancy, she was not happy. The stress was that they were not on the same page, the physical violence, she didn't want to show it to the outside world, she ignored herself, put on a mask, “Hang in there, it will work out,” she gained 20 kilos, was in discord, and had a lot of anxiety. Mother had already had burnout twice, from keeping up all the balls. At birth, she got a lot of inducers, then the child got stuck and there was a section, and the Apkar score was bad. Then followed 2 years of fighting the divorce, and finally the father left. The child sees through people and has a very strong bond with the mother. Mother was always ready to attack. She is a people child, shares a lot of kisses, she likes to be with family. She has a very high pain threshold, and her emotions shoot from happy to sad, depending on her fatigue she is very cross or has a crying fit. She is very aware of emotions, at a movie for example she can cry. When in pain she can hold her breath though. She is temperamental, snappy, or grumpy, she has difficulty switching gears, she is often tired with dark circles under the eyes, her upper eyelid often thickened, and she drools a lot.
Gadus morrhua gives a little more rest, and Balsamina and Theabroma do nothing.

Follow upAfter taking it, she is doing better after just a few days. She is now more stable, she can handle regulating emotions better, and she is aware of herself. The anger is much less intense, less often. She is also more likely to say “tired” now when it is too much and then sit down. Less restless and chaotic. After that, it is cozy. She can eat a lot and indicates it better herself. She is angry at delayed attention. You have to indicate things in advance, but not too long, and then she gets impatient again. With her development, she now has made leaps and bounds. Tension in the legs is still the same. She is no longer upset with bad weather (rain on the roof or against the windows), less fears. She is much more relaxed, she can handle things more easily. The first month she had sour and green stools. At consultations no longer yell 'hi' every minute, only on coming and leaving. She stays in the chair all the time without wriggling loose. The year after this she remains stable and more accessible, mother has more rest and free time now.
