644.55.14 Lathyrus sativus, Case
Case by Deborah Collins.
Woman, 30, walking problems.
She walks slowly, stiffly, unsteadily, uncertainly, as if walking on an uneven floor. Her legs are spastic, cross over when walking, so that she often stumbles and her knees knock against each other. She has pronounced X-legs and her feet are turned inwards. Her back is often very stiff, locked up and it is difficult to sit up straight. She has cramps in her calves. She has the feeling that her ligaments are shortening, with a stiff feeling when walking on bare feet. She has difficulty crossing or stretching her legs out completely, especially when sitting or lying on her belly.
Sometimes she would lose all strength in her legs and collapse.
She feels dizzy and uncertain, worse standing with eyes closed.
She gets shocks and trembling throughout her body.
She has chills or hot flushes.
She has to urinate often, sometimes losing control.
Her identity had been confused many times, once with an accident victim in the hospital, another time with a person accused of murder.
She has the idea of being threatened by criminals who were phoning her up.
She had periods of narcolepsy, after an overdose of narcotics during an operation.
She has concentration and memory problems, worse when sleepy.
Her speech is rambling, confused, jumping from story to story.
During pregnancy she had been one of twins, the only one to live.
She was slow learning to walk and slow to learn in general.

Two months after Lathyrus 200C everything is a bit better. She can think more clearly, is quieter in herself, more peaceful, more confident. Her muscles feel more supple.
As a reaction she got cramps in her calves.
After repetitions of the Lathyrus 200C her legs improve, are less stiff. The muscle shocks gradually stopped. She no longer stumbled over her feet.
She seemed to improve on all levels.
