Calotropis gigantea
Remedy code: 3-665.27.10
A 56-year-old woman, sturdy, lively and friendly, with a big mane of curly blonde hair, symbolic of her radiant appearance. Her voice is slightly hoarse, she is always amiable with a cheerful look. Years ago, she responded very well to Iridium muriaticum; the trigger was a heel spur, but the burden was caring for her child who developed diabetes. Now she comes in saying, "I am emotional, I want to regain my balance." She chokes up, tears. Three months ago, during a vacation cruise, their child had a stroke. Recently, she can only cry; she can't get past it. The past year has also been very busy, they needed a vacation. Busy with what: care giving, they are building an extra house on the farm for her very elderly parents so they can live independently. They had planned the trip together. She only tells me exactly what happened to the child after asking for it: the shock was strong because they had to wait a while before they could get to shore, then a trip to a hospital. There seem to be no residual symptoms after many tests. The possible cause is a hole in the heart’s atrium, something already known in the ventricles and already fixed in the past. There is no acute danger now, more tests will follow. Her son is still very tired; she is very worried. She sleeps poorly, wakes up often, thinks about possible problems, and is very irritable. When everything happened, she felt like she could take on the world, she had a lot of energy as always, but now it’s a bit less. Now she struggles with large crowds, in a hall, at an event. She has to gasp for air, and a general feeling of discomfort, 'leave' goes through her mind. The other children are calm and optimistic. The child himself is realistic, 'What bad luck,' besides his diabetes, a little bit of fear. Her husband was initially very upset, but now he is doing well. At night she would go to their son, afraid things would go wrong, afraid for the future, and worried, in the morning it’s not like that anymore. Such a black hole as the night is. She realizes ‘this is the end of carelessness.’ She can do nothing to help him. The feeling of being empty-handed.
Analysis
Recognizable is the uncertainty, the unknown of Phase 2, the empty-handed of Phase 6, or the fear, of death, being unable to do anything in Phase 7. With this starting point, the Classes were reviewed for Phase 2 Subphase 6 and Phase 2 Subphase. They are all realistic about the situation, the whole family is aware of what is happening, fitting with the Lanthanides and a reference to Gold series. Within the possibilities of Gold series and these Phases, the family of the Asclepiadaceae quickly stands out. The mother’s connection is known from the Asclepiadaceae, which this woman has towards her parents and her child.
Stage 10: I could take on the world, she is strong.
End, Phase 7, of carelessness, in splits to no responsibility yet, beginning of (family)life, trying everything out, Phase 2, both for the parents and the child.
Prescription: Calotropis gigantea MK.
Follow up
After three weeks, she feels less wobbly, less tearful, and less irritated. Overall, she feels more stable. After a week, she noticed, 'I haven’t cried anymore.' Still, a shaky balance, speaking with a strained voice as she thinks about it, and says trembling: ‘I have to try hard when something happens.’ Initially, she had many dreams, startling dreams; rushing somewhere, chasing someone. Usually, she only remembered a feeling from a dream; now, everything is quick and hurried. Dreams about being abroad, catching a train, and various people along the way. She still feels a bit restless, woke up a few times but now quickly falls back asleep, and no longer needs to get up or check on her son at night. She used to have headaches occasionally, but now it’s often, the feeling as if something is pressing on the top of her head, over the entire vertex, it’s related to stress: they had to choose the medical path to follow, and she experiences this as pressure. She is used to busyness but does feel the pressure now. Energy: the busier she is, the more energy she has. She takes the initiative for the whole family to process everything. The construction of the house for her parents continues, and hospital appointments three times a week. She enjoys walking with the dogs through the woods again, her thoughts wandering. It’s no longer a duty, initially it was and she was grumpy with the dogs. The years following remain good.
