666.43.16 Taraxacum officinale, Case
Woman, 45, hepatitis C.
She has hepatitis C with continuous fatigue, better from with coffee. The fatigue started 3 years ago since a relationship that did not get off the ground. She was very much in love and wanted to marry him but he was fearful of life and relationships. He was too closed and could not share any emotions. She ran out of steam on him, felt like she was dying from being in love. He was too hard, did not want to feel, saw her only as a friend. She almost died from love, had to take care not to become hardened. It was as if she was emptied, she lost all her energy from her broken heart.
The origin of the hepatitis dates back probably 20 years before when she was addicted to heroin, together with her boyfriend at that time. She stopped when she became pregnant. Heroin withdrawal was nasty, like a huge influenza, with lot of colds and muscle aches. Being an addict was not her life, it was without feeling and she had to steal. But it helped her not to feel the grief of the whole world. She felt she was not belonging to herself, did not possess herself.
She lives on social welfare and does voluntary work.
She feels vulnerable, wants to have a certain meaning for other people. She has done a course in healing and has done regression therapy. She learned not to take on headaches from other people. As a child she was in a dream world, looking for the elves and little men under the flowers. She was a quiet child, could not stand secrets. She did not like her mother because she smelled bad, so she did not want to breast feed. Her parents were intellectual and raised her by Doctor Spock.
Her mother was disappointed in her as a girl. She wanted to become a nun in the mission but that changed when she turned 8.
She is straightforward, honest, not pretending, restless, hopeless and resigned.

She has parodontitis, inflamed, bleeding gums and an abscess in root of tooth.
She has a weak back with burning pain on one spot 8, 9 thoracic vertebra and weeps when the spot is touched.
She has frequent coryza with a lot of mucus. She sometimes has severe influenza, severe, being completely lame and only wanting to sleep. She has muscle aches in her neck, back, shoulders, upper arms, upper legs, headache, feeling as if in clouds.
Pregnancy was good, labour was a little slow.
