666.46.04 Brachyglottis repanda, Case
Case by Ulrich Welte.
Boy, 9, fever.
For 4 years he was ill every 4-6 weeks, with a fever above 40, < 3 - 5 pm, with a stiff neck. Before the fever he is provocative, whiny and awkward. He irritates his mother by talking vulgar, like “fuck, asshole, jerk”. He immediately defends himself when criticised about it, cannot admit weakness. He says: “I’m not a chicken, I’m not clumsy”.
He recently had numb hands after a tooth extraction.
He is a bit hard and closed, a rascal, very irritable, with a really healthy self-consciousness.
His mother had a hard time during his pregnancy; her husband died from an accident and she had fights about an inheritance.
He has interest in agriculture and he has a private garden. His father was a farmer.
Dream: a church tower is set in motion, sways and threatens to fall on him and kill him.
Colour preference: 24C.
Analysis
Lanthanides: healthy self-consciousness.
Subphase 6: father lost; vulgar.
Asteraceae: high fever.
Follow up
Since Brachyglottis he is without fever, well-balanced, appealing to his mother, not so irritable. The clinging behaviour towards his mother is better.
