Remedy code: 3-666.74.11
An 80-year-old woman, appears vital, although her body is slouched and shows signs of wear. She speaks with humor and ease, almost lecturing, radiating unconcern and independence in her appearance and behavior, although she dodges personal questions, preferring to keep them to herself. The complaint she presents is 'a lot of rumbling in the intestines, restless and noisy'. There is always a lot of air in the intestines, She is aware that she takes in a lot of air, she points to the left hypochondrium.
Another complaint is fatigue, it has always been there. Very tired. I try my best to sleep well, to move, and to walk. My father had it too, he was always asleep behind his newspaper. The type of fatigue: if I have done something, the dishes for example, then I have to sit down for a moment, then I'm exhausted. After half an hour of walking, I have to sit down. Mentally, I am very lively. I do the morning gym, but afterward, I feel sleepy, even when reading, which makes me angry. I have naturally worked my whole life, worked hard, and by the afternoon around 2.30 pm my energy was always depleted. I can work hard and concentrate. In my working life, it meant: being permanently tired; up at 6 o'clock and busy until the evening. I knew no different than being tired. On vacation, I would then get migraines and even more fatigue. The pain was extremely intense, often headaches during the week, or on Sundays, right behind the forehead. My work: I did personnel affairs, a managerial role, took care of the people, and recruitment for the entire factory, I always did it with pleasure, but the amount of work wore me out. I am interested in people, in conversation, in meeting them, I wanted to know why they wanted to come to us, it was extremely interesting. I lived together with a former colleague, we ran a household together, and the colleague was disabled. She often suffers from watery eyes caused by blocked tear ducts. There is a rash on the tip of her nose, this turns out to be a remnant of skin cancer. After my work, I got a care function, a follow-up task. The intestinal complaints go back a long way (in time), even when I was working, I had already a colonoscopy. The restlessness in the intestines has been there for decades, it's hereditary. Lots of noise, lots of flatulence, it's embarrassing. The tongue is dry, the edge is red.
She had breast cancer, 15 years ago, and a right mastectomy, the follow-up was good. There were no complaints then, I have protection on my shoulders (she means 'a guardian angel'), because it was discovered at the last check-up. The blood pressure is high, and since menopause, it has been difficult to control. With stress, the pressure gives a strange feeling in my head, a creepy feeling, it felt like a blow to the head. It could shoot up immensely, at last year's check-up it turned out that kidney function is decreasing, and a scan showed a cyst in the pancreas. Scans show severe osteoporosis. Yes, I have a lot, but I'm not one to report complaints and medication. A hormone treatment, I couldn't tolerate, it threw me completely off balance.
My greatest friend: the bookshelves, I also maintain the house, cook, keep in touch with family, and take computer lessons. I read novels, poetry, history, psychology, and theology, I like to learn something. My favorite authors are Conrad, van't Reve, especially Koolhaas, Yourcenar...
I sleep well, reasonably, often getting up, because of the kidneys, the bladder is overactive.
Dreams: I don't feel like I have any. Mother was severely depressed, and took her own life, 35 years ago. Father was very strong. They had a tough life, nothing came easy.There is self-blame, you don't know how they felt, it's been a terrible history. My brother experienced it very differently, he has a different perception. Mother had fears as a child, it's a dark chapter.
20 years ago I had trigeminal neuralgia, it hurts so much, you then know for life how much pain that is. I was deeply unhappy. It was excruciating pain, as if with knives, from right to left, worse with heat and cold, worse with eating. The direct cause was a tooth that had to be removed, a major procedure, and a big gap. Then followed irritation and infections. I felt then miserable and lonely, I suffered from depression.
I recognized that from my childhood: being unhappy, sitting listlessly in a corner. As a family, we started to grow up isolated, my parents came from another province, and we were different. Reading was my world, and that also made me different from the other children. We lived outside the city, quieter, we didn't fit in. I also felt so excluded. School was more for boys, it was a drama for me. I was bullied, then I acted like it didn't affect me. I felt 'nowhere'. The neuralgia, I didn't know what to do to save myself. At the time, I did youth work. With new contacts, I was very open, I had no trouble making connections. It went very well. I kept discovering that there was something else. It was only to be found in books. I was raised straight-laced, strictly Reformed, over the years, of course, I deviated from it. I was curious, about the upbringing and the rules of the church, those became slogans, but the interest was aroused in existential questions. It's extraordinary. I have read a lot, I have delved into it. I also started with psychology, other people helped me with which books to read. I remember the first time I went to a bookstore.
AnalysisGold series 66: standing alone, the shadow, independent thinking, self-development, capacity for abstraction, from overview to helicopter view. All this can be recognized as theme’s of the
Lanthanides and thus
Gold series in her life.
Phase 7: Mother taking her own life, as a family and certainly as an individual she feels outside of society, the intense pains, stepping out of the community.
Phase 4: her father, her balance, her orderliness, her responsibility, her unwavering conviction of her position of standing on the sidelines, of her own path.
Much already points to 6 66 7 4.
Apiales can be recognized in the overall picture, but also in the age phase, decay, and distancing oneself. The strong mental capacities. The characteristic 'emotional distance' of the
Apiales is seen here passively, as a theme, the result of being different and feeling different. She withdraws from life through books, which also nourish her spiritual interest.
For the differentiation, you can take a rubric from the repertory, for example, abdomen, rumbling gives within this family Ammoniacum, Sumbulus, Hydrocotyle, but stage 11 of Angelica fits better, as a herb it is a well-known medicine for restless and gaseous intestines.
The placement at stage 11 is recognized as preserving, protecting, persisting, and controlling, the tension. Later she talks about the fatigue, and her melancholy, both of which are familial, she ‘holds on’, stage 11. Prescription
Angelica sinensis MK.
Follow-upAfter five weeks: I am not dissatisfied in itself, the intestines are a little better, unfortunately, the difference is too small. Furthermore, I am lively, and I don't dread tackling things. Previously, when thinking about something, I would already think: 'Oh no'. I am better at dividing what I want to do, understanding, at planning. I have done a lot these weeks, fruitfully read, do housework, done a lot of exercises.
The hip is still painful, at the left crest, it's starting pain. Lately, I have had less control over the bladder and rectum, which has been bothersome for a year now, and very annoying.
Because the energy is improving, the desire to tackle things and the intestines are slightly better: wait and see, recovery is underway and the most important thing responds first. After three months, she says: "I am not dissatisfied, I feel much better than ever. The fatigue is still there. Why am I satisfied then; I no longer look so despondently at everything. In general, I have an even temperament, I am blessed.
The rectum is much better, I no longer have any trouble with it. Sleep is the same, I often have to get up, the tricky part is that if I sleep too soundly, I have to be careful not to wet the bed. She has been using cranberry for years.
Four months after the remedy, she tells I am not dissatisfied, but not entirely satisfied either. I still have trouble with fatigue. Sleeping is better, I don't have to get up as often anymore. Without herbal tea, the bubbling and noise in the intestines return. Bowel movements are good. The energy is slightly better, but I don't do much. The fatigue: from a young age, I have always been tired, I remember when I was 20 years old, I went to the hospital for an examination, and couldn't climb the stairs. Why? The strong emotions, of course, and the tremendous loneliness of course. I was daydreaming as a child, I was always busy, searching, and reading. My father was very courageous, my mother was always 'in despair'. My brother did nothing but sleep. I do dream occasionally now, but I don't know what about it, it's been like that for the last 4 months, that means since Angelica. I like to be clear-minded, and I look around with great interest.
Repeat
Angelica sinensis MK because she says she doesn't know if she has a little more energy or if she is doing less and less. In the months that follow, she gets much more energy, more desire, and more order in her activities, she now has 'control over time, the agenda, and what she does'. It's about housework. She now has a bit more trouble with restless intestines again, 'I have to pay more attention to what I eat again, I like onions and 'al dente', and I eat too quickly. My whole working life I have always gobbled'. Still suffering from lower back pain, fatigue, and pain after more than an hour of standing or walking. She's more collected now but looks calmer, softer, clear in eyes and face.
