666.31.08 Menyanthes trifoliata, Case
Woman, 50, migraines.
She has migraines since menopause, mostly in the weekends. They are worse from bright light like a burning candle, worse from much wine and better after sleep. It feels as if a nail is driven into her left eye. With it she has icy cold hands and feet. Sometimes she has nausea and vomiting of bile. The complaints are better with music and cold applications to her face.
She has flushes of heat. She has pain in her lumbar region from sitting the wrong way or doing heavy jobs like cleaning the windows or having to fight with a boy in her class.
She is a teacher in a school that fused with another school. She has not found a place yet because the children are different, liberated, limitless and insolent. Her job is becoming a bit boring.
The last 10 years she has cared a lot for her parents who became old and diseased. She did it because it came on her path.
She is a controlled person, something she learned at home. She is loyal to people. She cannot lie, not even about little things. She thinks she knows her things. It is easy for her to give things away.
