666.74.12 Conium maculatum, CaseWoman, 52, painter, nerve pains and sleeplessness.
The pains in her whole boy started after the death of her husband, with whom she had a very passionate sex life. After his death she said that she felt like “climbing the walls” for lack of sexuality. The pains were such that the surgeon recommended an operation to free up her nerves, which she was afraid of, because she hated losing control to anyone, let alone under anesthetics. She was extremely sleepless, and spent most of her nights painting. Her paintings where quite controlled, like photos.
Her whole life, even as a child, she had had a fear of eating anything if not at home; on vacations she made her own meals in the caravan while her husband and children went out for meals.
