Borago officinalis

665.33.04 Borago officinalis, CaseWoman, 35, asthma.
She has recurrent asthma and bronchitis, worse from dust. She coughs, she has an obstructed nose with watery, acrid discharge and wheezing respiration. She has to sneeze a lot. The complaints are worse from cold and wet weather, going outside into the cold. She had frequent pneumonia with yellow, green or brown expectoration. Her asthma is worse from exertion like bicycling and worse during the daytime.
She is very sensitive to criticism and becomes very small when criticised. She doubts herself very much, fears to say things.
The family was not very cosy. Things had to be done all the time, the dishes washed and the beds done. She had to be a mother for her younger brothers. She tried to avoid all the work and have time for herself; to read for instance. She tried living as much outside of the family as she could. The quarrels and the family were not solved, not talked about due to their parents. So everyone turned inward and all emotions were one big mess. She was always tired and had a desire to leave. The family home was suffocating.
As a child she was always adapting. The children had to adapt to the others because they were unsure. She did not have the guts to stand for herself. She always thought that what she was thinking and feeling was not important. She did not feel understood or respected. There were a lot of quarrels in the family, but everything remained unclear. A lot happened at home, but she never knew exactly what was happening. She had a feeling that she had to leave that environment as soon and as often as she could. It was very lonely.
Her mother was overprotective, had a inferiority complex and limited her children by thinking that they could not do things. Her mother never gave compliments. She could not handle her 6 children. The teacher at primary school let everyone feel that there wasn’t much they could do.
She had little contact with her father. He was very critical, criticising everyone. The children felt worthless being told they could not do anything. Her parents criticised all the friends she brought home. Only shy and timid types were okay.
At her job she does the cleaning and makes appointments. A colleague will criticise her and it gives her an old hard feeling, the feeling of not being respected and recognised. It is like it was in her youth when it did not matter what she did.
She cannot stand to be dependent and feels weird when others work for her.
She likes art very much, especially music. She played the flute, but art was never well-developed in the family.
In puberty she did not want to grow, did not want to become adult. At 15 she started to grow and had her first menses at 17.
She has many cramps, in her hands, toes and calves, much worse when stretching and worse during pregnancies.
Her breasts are often swollen, often one sided, worse before menses. She had a lot of milk after the pregnancies.
She has itching in her ears with cracking and stitching.
She has involuntary urination from stress since her pregnancy.
She has an itch in the back of her throat.

This last aspect is quite strong; she does not have to guts to stand up for herself. It points to Phase 3 and or Stage 3. It is confirmed by the confusion in the family, she never knew how things were, they were unclear.
