Ananas comosus

Remedy code: 3-633.47.01
A 30-year-old woman, 14 weeks pregnant, has itching for weeks. First, an eczema spot on the right upper arm, suddenly bumps appeared, which became very severe. Also the groin, thighs, elbows, and arms are full with red bumps. It's driving her crazy, to the point of tears, as if it's burning, like a nettle. Scratching makes it warm, and red, and more bumps appear. Especially at night, itching all day long during the day, she wakes up every night from the maddening feeling. Since the pregnancy, she has always been awake for 4 hours, now 2 hours too, she wakes up from the itching, which lasts 10-15 minutes, and then she stays awake for a long time. Dreams: chase dreams, she's being chased or she's chasing others. In those dreams, she feels attacked, it’s about her safety. She has always been a poor sleeper since childhood, can't fall asleep because of the stimuli of the day, which then flash through her head like pictures. She also has misophonia, can't lie next to her husband, she also suffers from it during the day. Sounds triggers her to get very angry; ‘sounds that I have no control over, eating, music, sniffling’. Since the pregnancy, she hasn't used cannabis anymore, which was daily, it gave her peace and she got more done at home. The unrest: she has been through a lot in her life, and was in treatment. The first three months she was very anxious, it got darker in her thoughts, 'what if you lose control of yourself'. Further pregnancy ailments: ringing in the ears at night, nothing comes out of her hands anymore, like washing, combing her hair, and housework. She used to do that to the extreme, cleaning: that gave a sense of peace, but sometimes it could get out of hand. The nausea is gone, she has been dizzy and had heartburn. It was a desire, the pregnancy, but how it takes over your body, those hormones: no, you're not yourself. In her family home, she experienced many traumas, unrest, stress, tension, shouting, arguments, and noises (after the medicine, she talks more about this). She didn't want to be there anymore, everything in life went wrong and didn't work out, those were the feelings she had. She felt very alone, and not heard. Especially in puberty, and at the end of elementary school. Now the self-image is good. Her partner has a history of psychosis. Despite everything, she feels happy in love, the foundation, now her own house. She did volunteer work and studied, then the focus shifted to 'becoming a mother'. In the past, she had panic attacks, if something went wrong it affected the body, headaches, and vomiting. Menses were always fine, often followed by candida infections.AnalysisSilicon series: where lies the problem, what is her life: family, children, partner. Trauma took place within the family.
Silicon series3: Restlessness in the head and pelvis Liliales.
Phase 7: control versus no control, not wanting to be there anymore, cannabis use, partner psychotic.
Phase 4: being sure of motherhood, the relationship, and the house provides stability, the theme of support.
Parents: Mother is stable and present, father has been unfit for years, hangs at home, and lives on opioids. Phases 4 and 7.
Stage 1: Panic, bursting out: stage 1.
Bromelia casuistry: strong focus on and involvement with family, they are stuck in caring or thinking, and cannot let go. There seems to be no choice, despite the overwhelming situation. Restlessness, panic, despair, and steadfastness are themes.
Prescription: Ananassa sativa MKFollow upAfter four days, the itching decreased, and after a week all the spots were gone. Still very slight itching, in the groin a bit red. Sinuses are still present. She is very positive, she thinks she's calmer. Daytime thoughts are easier to handle, everything is light. Sleep is better, not awake at 2 and 4 am anymore, only around 6 am, and it varies per night. Sleep depends on stress, if something negative happens, she lies thinking about it, obsessive thoughts. If there is tension with her partner, those are old traumas from the past, the abuse. She always had trouble taking care of herself, there was never room for proper attention, and there was always something wrong, with her feelings. An old feeling: feeling quickly attacked, by something on TV, something on the news. Initially, she had intense dreams of being pursued and dire situations, she must escape. Due to the unrest, she hasn't tackled anything for years, she wants to hide, under the covers, and not take any action. She doesn't feel like talking about it anymore, that's sadness, crying gives her a headache, and then she's completely exhausted. Household tasks are starting now, she has made a schedule, walks the dogs, she tells herself: don't lie down during the day anymore. She wants a fresh start. Hair: a lot of dandruff. Misophonia is the same. The energies she feels, are from the people themselves, she hears everything, that triggers the misophonia. Happy when she can get away, because otherwise she becomes aggressive, grumpy, and gets a heavy head, but mainly because she feels their energy. It's getting better, we hear more Phase 7 and Stage 1 aspects, confirming the choice of medicine. A long and painful history that fits within the theme of this medicine. Improvement will therefore work deeply and will need more time. So, wait and see. The delivery goes well. Family reports that things are going well, she is strong in taking care of her partner.
