Woman, 40, arthritis.
She has sore pain and weak joints, especially her knees and shoulders. The complaints are worse in cold wet weather, 3 am and better from motion, changing position.
The complaints started after her marriage ended. It started romantically and with idealism. But he did not take responsibility, could not support a family. She had to help and protect him as an artist. She had three miscarriages because she was overloaded. She had two children but had to take care of them herself. She knew she had to do it on her own, felt left alone, melancholic before menses. With her first pregnancy she felt she had to give attention to herself. She felt very romantic and sentimental. With her second child she knew immediately it would be the end of her marriage. He left her because she could not accept his lack of responsibility. She was depressed and suicidal for a year, weeping when she saw a man with children.
