Magnesium fluoratum Short caseAnother patient presented a similar picture. This was a man of 35, who was the manager of a big hotel. He was an easy-going business man. His physical complaint was itching on the whole of his body, without eruption. But his mental problems were more his real worry. He had periodical attacks of fear that he did not really love his wife. He did not understand it at all, but the thoughts tormented him. His wife suffered a lot every time this happened. The thoughts were partly caused by the fact that his wife is not long legged, busty and blonde, but has dark hair and a normal figure.
He used to have similar irrational fears in the past. For instance the fear that he was homosexual, after someone had suggested this to him. Here again he did not really feel homosexual at all, but he just had the fear. Another typical symptom was repeated dreams about marriage. Once he dreamt that he got married to his sister.
In this case we see problems that resemble the problems in the previous case. We also see this happening in types that are similar to each other. They have a great fear that they don’t love their wife enough.
