644.34.08 Hevea brasiliensis, Case
Man, 40, fatigue.
He has been very tired and depressed for a year, worse from change of weather. He feels restless, an inner pressure to do everything perfectly, to give everyone everything. He has high blood pressure and lipomas. Urination is difficult, especially when someone is standing beside him.
He has premature ejaculation from fear of failure.
In puberty he had herpes zoster in his face, with maddening, neuralgic pain, worse from light and better in the dark. He got it from a girlfriend who had herpes labialis.
He had pancreatitis with copious diarrhoea and 16 kilo weight loss. Since that time he has had ulcerative colitis, worse from coffee, better from horse milk.
His mother never told him who his father was. At 4 he was sent to a children’s home as he had been angry once at her. His mother had many relationships; she was not a warm person. His stepfather used to beat him frequently and lock him up, saying he was worth nothing, unable to do anything. At 7 his mother caused a car accident where she and a friend died. A maternal aunt adopted him and his half-brother and half-sister.
He worked for his stepfather in construction many years and for an alcoholic uncle who would berate and beat him. When the business went bankrupt he started for himself. He works very perfectionistically and he exhausted himself for years. He feels less inferior when his work is perfect.
He is happily married, they fit together perfectly. But still he is afraid to come near to other women, fearing he will be seduced by them. He is shy and anxious, more so as a boy. He lacks self-confidence.
Aversion: fat meat.
Dream: nightmare of a monster, being caught by his foot.
Weather: < full moon.
