663.41.14 Herniaria glabra, Case
Woman, 60, sciatica.
She has lumbar backache, extending to her right leg with itching of her calf. It started some 8 years ago in a period of a lot of stress. She was moving, had a new relationship and had troubles with her daughter. Her daughter did not accept her new friend, was jealous and did not want to share her with her new friend. It came to a climax in a physical fight with her friend, she became depressed and was hospitalised in a caring home. Her daughter felt everything was grey, without colour. She was already clinging to her after the divorce. She felt powerless because the connection with her daughter was lost, she did not feel contact anymore.
She is a very caring mother, in general a very caring person for her family, relatives and colleagues.
She works in an alternative shop; she is very interested in alternative matters, anthroposophy.

Follow up
A few days after Herniaria glabra MK the backache almost disappears. It comes back after a month and disappears again after a repetition. She feels more self-contained, andmore distant to circumstances. Quarrels of others do not affect her so much anymore as was in the past. She do not have to solve the problems of others anymore.
