5.13 Praseodymium muriaticum case
Width 4, Depth 4, Cure 9, Duration 6
A man of 40 years of age has had headaches for 13 years. He was overstressed due to working too hard. He had bought a house that needed to be renovated and he had started a company for renovating classic cars. He was travelling, buying and selling, whilst someone else repaired and restored them. He was busy, going up and down, but very unstructured, doing a hundred things at the same time and wasn't able to finish anything. He started thinking “Do I have to do this until I am 65?” He also left the parental home and missed the care that was given to him by his mother. He had a very nice, happy childhood. He’s the youngest of 5 children, with 4 older sisters. Everyone took care of him: “You can never have things easier than at home.”
The headache is all over the head. It starts with sweating. He’s not able to do anything any longer, he cannot lift up his son longer than a few seconds. Headaches are worse while driving a car and after longer-lasting exercise, like sports training sessions. The headaches are better from rest, sleep, holidays and darkness. He has ear noises with the headache and sometimes nausea. There was a time that he had this every day. Maybe the headaches had to do with the fact that he fell frequently during motor-cross, although he never had connected the start of the headaches with these falls.
After a few years, he sold everything and bought a piece of land with some colleagues. Later he started his own company for building houses. His employees did the work. In the afternoon he was surfing. For 2 years he has not been working, which ameliorates the headaches.
Hobbies motor-cross, wind surfing. He considered becoming a professional surfer.

Analysis
He wants to be free, his own boss. Together with the headaches as complaint this leads to Lanthanides. His desire for freedom is also desire for autonomy.
The headache started after he had started his own company and didn't know how to handle it. This indicates Stage 5, the stage after the start when one has to find how to handle things. He was going up and down, very unstructured, doing a hundred things at the same time, not able to finish anything. They all fit Stage 5. He also had the feeling of not being able to reach his goal, thinking “Do I have to do this until I am 65?” Another aspect is the missing the care at home. Everyone took care of him: “You can never have things easier than at home.” This indicates muriaticum.
Together this leads to Praseodymium muriaticum.
Further confirmations are:
Muriaticum: desire pasta, > at sea.
Follow up
After Praseodymium muriaticum MK he reacted with neck pain and stiff muscles for a week. He remembered this from his childhood. Since that time he has felt super. He remembered only one headache after the first dose. The quality of life went up from 25 to 75. He feels free in his head.
After six months the headaches came back a little. He then needed Arnica for completion of the cure. The arnica prescription was based on the many accidents he had with his motorbike in the period before the headaches started.
