Woman, 50, cough.
She has a recurrent cough, barking and dry and feels weak, ill and powerless with it. In the past she had recurrent pneumonia with fever, cough, pressure on her chest, heat alternating cold and shivering and copious sweating.
She has flushes of heat with copious sweat on her head due to menopause.
She had Hashimoto with hyperthyroidy and palpitations for which her thyroid was removed. She had recurrent cystitis.
She is tired and fears getting cancer.
Her mother was a strong woman, taking on much responsibility and work but she was also distant and wished she had not had her daughter. She gave her daughter everything and stimulated her to learn. It made her hold in. Her father was more lively, living light, liking some alcohol. He had an affair when her mother was pregnant with her.
Her husband had several affairs during their marriage and she often was on the verge of leaving him. He is very goal oriented and can be choleric. She tries to prevent and divert his anger. But he is also very giving, supporting her development.
She is very helpful and responsible for her son and husband. She has endured a lot that did not go her own way. She feels heavy and sad. She would like to live light, like a ballet dancer. She is doing yoga.
It is difficult for her to say no out of fear she will not be loved.
