644.34.05 Euphorbia corollata, Case
Case by Sonja Obbink.
Woman, 30, herpes zoster.
The herpes started in her back and extended to her left breast. She already had tingling and pain for a few weeks.
She is writing a book about the transformation of society to a durable economy. It comes from the feeling that she is not allowed to exist in life, in society. She wants to do something that does not fit in this society. This probably has to do with her birth which was a Caesarean section after which she was put into an incubator for 10 days. She felt isolated from her parents and is still feeling sadness about it. The feeling was expressed in a dream that someone came to tell her that she was born dead.
The labour with her first child was terrible because of fever and pain. She had to struggle alone and felt torn apart, being completely away from the world because of the pain. She feared her inner feelings and felt very lonely. After this she went into therapy and the second birth was much better and the third was a dream birth.
