Nyctanthes arbor-tristis
Remedy code: 3-665.46.16
Man of 41 years, extremely tired. When coming in, he seems strong, presenting himself strong, "I can do it’ in posture and movement, but as soon as he sits down he looks dull, voice has little tone, eyes run red. Previously he came with his children and was always brisk and bright.
It started with flu, I did recover but then it started again. Fatigue, pneumonia, low oxygen levels, antibiotic didn't help, kept getting worse and then swollen neck glands. Blood test showed Pfeiffer and low liver values. Now still low energy, that is the reason I am here, I have read that homeopathy can do something about it.
After been on a visit I am quickly tired in the head, but not tired enough to fall asleep. Still lots of night sweats, bad appetite, it's too much quickly. In the beginning I also had headaches, slept all day for three weeks, had fever 38.5 Celsius, felt hot.
Now I can only go outside a short time, for example doing something in the garden, but I am too tired to ride a bike, feel the muscles. Neck glands still a little sensitive, slightly swollen. Tongue is smooth and red. Coffee doesn't taste good to me.
Before this we were remodeling at home, work is always intense, my wife is expecting a baby. We go to bed late. Normally I am never sick, sometimes a day in bed. I work in mechanical engineering, designing on the computer, thinking it up and working it out.

Follow up
After 3 weeks of taking the remedy I got a different feeling in the mouth and soon I got more appetite. After two days I already felt better. Physically I am more fit, mentally I am still behind, not yet what it used to be. At work I notice that after an hour of paying attention I can no longer take the calls, then I have to lie down for a while. You shut yourself off, or just talking with my wife can help. Have to do a lot of programming and consulting with colleagues, have to answer all those questions. Tongue is less smooth, the edge is now turning red (indication that the lymph is activated, has started to work harder). Weight is stable now, no more losing weight.
Can now easily ride a bike again, I still feel muscles after. Night sweat is over. Woke up early, I'm used to that at 5 or 6 a.m., before that I was restless and wanted to do all kinds of things.
It still feels like I did too much, lugged around too much.
Neck glands good now, eyes still slightly red. Everything tastes spicier than usual now, I'm eating everything again. Mood is good, only it is still very hard to undergo being able to do less. Voice is getting clearer.
Wait
Next month it is all well.
