Theobroma cacao

Theobroma cacao A 46-year-old woman with shiny eyes and long curly hair is leaning over my desk, her voice remarkable strong and hoarse. She is here for fibromyalgia, which she has decided to get rid of. It is a lifelong condition; she was born with flat feet. She started walking at two years old and was always tired. They thought she was lazy. She always went to bed early. She has had back problems since she was 12 years old and has not grown since then. She received a lot of physical therapy and walked in a cast for a few years. A piece of her sacrum is missing, and the advice at the time was to wear a steel corset. “I'm not doing that,” she said at the time. L4 and L5 are protruding, compressing the sciatic nerve, and the intervertebral disc is worn. At the age of 24, L4 and L5 were fused. She is hypermobile, often sprains her ankles and wrists, and was always told, “You're exaggerating,” “Take it easy.” Neck arthrosis was diagnosed when she was 20. The hospital later diagnosed fibromyalgia, but she have had that complaint her whole life, a stabbing pains. Amitriptyline and other painkillers made her feel numb and miserable, and morphine made her vomit. She now uses marijuana, which provides some relief. When you're young, you think the doctor is right, but now she no longer takes medication. Everything is always sore and tense, from head to toe. It varies, her face, her hands. All her joints pop out. Wrists, ribs, pelvis, knee, ankle, she has to pull her wrist out of the vacuum every time.
Right now: “I want to live more, I plan to become pain-free, and work 40 hours a week!”
Before her back seized up, I could predict it again; the pain got worse with rain, hail, temperature changes, etc. Over the past 35 years, she has learned to cope with it. Doing too much makes everything worse, all movements: after three times, it doesn't work anymore. On the blacklist are: walking, going to the pub, and intense sports. She used to be a silver-smith, but that was too strenuous, so she became a process operator. Very early on, she started turning frustrations into creativity. Now she just wants to do fun things and work with crazy people.
After the question: how do you deal with people? She retreats into her memory for a moment, how her body feels, and then answers resolutely: I sense people. She now leans forward on the desk, radiating cheerfulness, speaking firmly: I feel it, having an idea at the right moment. I don't think about it. She used to be bothered by people a lot, but she has learned to shut herself off. At a birthday party, she senses if something is wrong, a negative atmosphere. She is very direct; when she sees a face, she knows whether she likes the person or not. Hobby: anything creative. Animals: I am an animal whisperer. Favorite painters: Dali, Picasso, Esher, Warhol. She thinks in images; the story must match the image. Her whole life, she had been doing nothing but making peace between body and mind. But there is always room for improvement. ‘I sink my teeth into it. ’AnalysisSeries 5: Malvales on theme, sensitivity, intuition, remarkable voice, the way of turning insede for an answer. Silver series is reflected in art, IT. Presenting oneself, appreciation. Most prominent: converting frustrations into creativity, that is where she finds her existence, her awareness of life, so the Silver series. This has no duality with another series, no influence from or focus on, so Series 55.
Phase 3: hyper mobility, giving in to pain as a solution, and not being able to achieve your goal.
Phase 6: fatigue, having to abandon creativity, lying half out of it.
Stage 15: similarities with Nitricum: lively, wanting to do fun things, persistent, similarities with Phosphorus: intense contact, sensing, sensitive to weather. Theme of exuberance.
Prescription: Theobroma cacao MK.Follow-upShe already had more energy in the first few days, and this continued for years to come. She has less pain, but is still stiff. She has less acidity in her legs and can now walk a little longer. She needs less sleep and can now go to bed late. She caught a cold, but this time her face did not change as usual, and she was not tired from it. She hasn't spent as much time on the couch in the evenings these past few weeks. She has started painting again. When she was little, she had a double uvula, the muscles of her mouth did not move, and her tongue hung out of her mouth. She could not talk and had great difficulty swallowing. She lisped a lot, which led to a lot of teasing (here we already see a Phase 6 aspect). No attention was ever paid to it. She needs less cannabis. The stiffness remains, but her energy levels remain good for years.
