644.55.10 Robinia pseudoacacia, CaseWoman, 40, chronic fatigue syndrome.
It started after mononucleosis and depression. She has pain in her arms and legs from slight exertion, walking. She has frontal headache from looking closely, better in the dark and from rest and diversion. She has constant vertigo with the feeling of falling to one side and has to move carefully. She gets a nasty, trembling feeling in her body from alcohol. Her head feels light from talking. She has poor memory and fears she might get dementia.
In her youth there was little space for her and her opinion. Her mother was very domineering. Her stories were immediately taken over by stories of her mother. Her mother did not do much and the rest of the family had to do the housework. Her mother can still blame her about her youth. In puberty she was shy, taciturn, which got better after she started smoking.
She felt empty, unsure, could not think, acted impulsively due to all the tensions. Only much later she discovered what she felt and thought.
She has been married to a man who did nothing. She tried to make something out of the relationship, doing everything. In the end it was over, there was no sparkle or respect left. Her son has been diagnosed with Asperger’s and is easily distracted. She has a lot of worries about him, feels impotent when he is not treated well at school due to lack of understanding of the teachers. She would like to fight for him but that is not possible, one has to behave properly and adapt. She feels lame, cast down. Her son blames her that he is in the wrong school. She fights a lot to do it right, hoping she will succeed as she tries very hard. She does not cry, except when she is alone. She feels she cannot be herself in social contacts. It feels like an injustice.
She focuses too much on others. She is always busy with others, that they do not understand her, her husband and mother. She becomes negative about herself when misunderstood, thinking she might not be clear. She has a wait-and-see attitude.
She works in a laboratory.
Colour preference: 15B.
