Cheiridopsis speciosa
Cheridopsis speziosa 3-663.26.08
A 70 year old woman suffers from hypertension, maximal 200 over 110. It was suspected that the subclavian aorta has an aneurysmatic dilatation because the patient has a pulsating dilatation right at the side of her neck. She reports when the blood pressure rises, this is when she gets angry then this swelling becomes even more prominent, there is a clearly visible 5 x 5 cm hemispherical dilatation on the right side of the neck at the transition to the trunk. This soft tissue swelling turned out to be an atypical vascular course of the Ateria subclavia on the Turnus brachiocephalicus but not a circumscribed aneurysm.
In the cardiac catheter examination, a high degree of constriction (80%) of the RCA in the middle section was extended with a stent. Since then the patient suffers from pain in this area of the heart. Her blood pressure is 200/110 she gets Sevicar, Trombo ASS, Plavix. She has been operated on the thyroid gland and she gets Eutyrox. She has heartburn from the drugs.
She is afraid that her aorta will burst or that she will have a stroke and become invalid. (Phase 6 = handicaped) Her mother had a stroke and just lived two weeks more till she died, she remembers this sight as terrible, she feels traumatized by it. Her father and mother had suffered from high blood pressure. Since two to three years she feels a strong knocking pulsating sensation at this spot on the side of her neck, she connects this with her troubles in her life - she always wanted meet the needs of others and has therefore always done a lot for others. (Phase 2 = adapt)
She always wanted to make it very good for others (phase 2 = adapt), this was so strong in her that she had to bite her teeth so hard together (stage 8 = persevere, persisting) so that her dental prothesis have broken a several times She cries when she is telling me this. She says she cries easily. Because of this my friends took advantage of me. (Phase 6) She always wanted to be part of this circle of friends (a spiritual group). (Phase 2 = adapt, An example for Phase 2: To get a member in the student association you have to endure everything to become a member) She searched for a long time and thought she had found there what she had not found in the church. (Lanthanides) She always wanted to do something good for the group and found it in the gardening work in the garden of the house of this group. When asked what she was looking for she said she was looking for God. She was all her childhood a youth in a convent school. She had to make confessions to the priest when she was eight years old and this incidents changed her viewpoint on the church.(Lanthanides?)
Her parents divorced when she was 10 years old, after that her friends didn't want to play with her anymore - they were trash. (Phase 6) She was a lovely, sunny (Aizoales) child and was "very badly abused" by older boys. (Phase 6/7) This goes on for two to three years it was the boy who was supposed to take care of her, he with his friends - "so let's come play with her, we'll play with her „beating" later in the boys' conversation she heard that they think about to kill her so she can't tell the adults what has happened. Since that time she suffers from an allergy to grass, she cannot sit on the grass anymore.
She became a kindergarten teacher to protect children she says. (Caryophyllidae)
She was afraid that God would hear about her unchastity, what she has confessed to the priest, and that she is guilty now. I always believed in everything what I was told. I open my heart too wide. (Aizoaceae)
She liked the woman (a kind of Guru) who led the group very much - so she worked 15-16 hours a day in the garden, dragged stones, dug holes, nothing was too heavy for her.
(Stage 8) She worked too much for years, (Stage 8) didn't look at herself, (Stage 2 = adjust to others) after her shoulder operation (Stage 8), she continued to working in the garden, couldn't rest, (Stage 8) she couldn’t stop (Stage 8) to support the others. (Phase 2 = support) She always was overusing herself, everything was hurting her, she had two herniated discs afterwards and still continued, biting her teeth together. (stage 8 = persevere, persisting) In the end, she was kicked out of this spiritual group.
About her childhood she tells that she made the decision that she never will get divorced, (Phase 2, DD Magnesium) so she decided never to marry the man she loves - in the way of „If I don't like him too much and I'll marry him“. Her husband has a difficult history too. She was always looking for friends, (Silicium series, Lilliidae, Caryophyllidae) wanted to be sociable - that was because her parents got divorced and then her friends in this time considered her to be thrash, and she lost her friends. She always wanted to be a kindergarten teacher - that's what she told everyone.
(Her aim in life gives us the class: Asteranae 660, a strong emphasis on Lanthanides, making the world a better place and also the subclass: What she is really doing, in caring for others a group of children that indicates Caryophyllidae 663,).
She was not allowed by her parents to go further on to school, for a higher degree what enables her to become a kindergarten teacher - so she went to church and prayed for it. At the age of 13 she went to a monastery and was trained as a kindergarten teacher - at the age of 14 she was alone with 30 children, got up at 4 o ́clock in the morning to make fire in the oven for heating the kindergarten, and stayed until 6 in the evening to clean the whole kindergarten. (Phase 6 = used, abused)
Mother: She experiences her as weak (phase 2/3), jealous and obese. She lost my father, (divorce) when she was 6 years old.
The parents of the mother died early, her mother had had a custodian and was severely abused from that man. She never had money after the divorce (phase 6 = not enough), Later she got sick at her lower abdomen. The patient was then much alone with her younger brother. (Phase 6)
Father: He was seriously traumatized from the second world war, a shot through his lung, he was a volunteer for the war before his high school graduation - the high school graduation was given free to them because of being a volunteer in war. His mother and brother died of diphtheria. Then he was in captivity by the Americans. He was the most beautiful man in the world, with a lot of dark hairs - my husband was light blond. Her father was an irritable, hot tempered man who could beat her. My mother had always suspected him of having other women. She can remember a quarrel where the father said that, he goes now and are looking for a woman. He was creative and musical. Once a plate fell down out of her hand, he hit her so hard she feared he would kill her. My father also hit my mother. (Phase 6)
After the divorce, when the parents met, there was always a fight. She often ran after her father or searched for him in town. She felt abandoned by him. (Phase 6) She actually was always looking for love from her father and later looking for love of friends. (Phase 6 = unloved, not valued)
Her blood pressure rises when she's sad, upset and desperate. Excitement causes every little thing. Her husband is impatient with her - like my father - she feel sorry for herself. She was not a desired as a child (phase 6), my parents were not married - my mother wanted to suffocate me - because she didn't know how to go on. When she was one year old her parents finally get married.
„My goal were always the children (Carbon series, DD. Silicium series), I would never have given up my occupation“. My thing with the children was the need to do something good. (Silicon series = here children, Lanthanides = what good to do to make the world a better place, in the plant kingdom Caryophyllales) „It gives me joy to help someone, this is for me the greatest joy.“ If her grandchildren are not well, she can get excessively excited. (Caryophyllidae) I can be really brave when it is about children.
She likes plants, small simple plants, dandelions, Trollius europaeus, water lilies.

Follow up after 6 weeks and 3 months:
Her blood pressure is normal, she has become calmer and takes things more calmly. She says the aneurysm, the enlargement of the aorta of the neck does not swell anymore, it has become much smaller. She enjoys life, has fun, this can sometimes make her afraid that she won't be punished. She has depressive phases - because the sad things she has experienced become clear to her - that she has never been accepted as she is - that she has never valued herself - that she has been hiding herself. That comes in waves and then she's fine again. The pain in her heart is better after three month it is gone. She dares to do more what she likes to do and is more self-confident. She decided to go on holiday on her own, to that country she always wanted to go to - she fulfills herself a dream of life. She is no longer afraid to do so although her husband does not agree. She is clearer with herself, allows her own needs to be - "I look for my own needs" (before she always looked at the others) - „It is no longer like this, that all others are more important than me.“ She knows now where she stands, is internal calm. She feels recognized by her fellow human beings and has the feeling that she is doing right.
