Case Rubidium/Ranunculus bulbosus
Alex Leupen, physician
In March 99 I see a 38-year-old woman with recurrent sinusitis complaints. Every winter several times sinusitis, very tired, even then severe INSULATION PROBLEMS. Difficult to fall asleep, strong need to stretch. These symptoms started at the age of 7.
When she gets very tired she becomes depressed, "I feel like I'm zero". "Everyone is better, I am nothing". Two jobs: 2 days a week Theatergroep and 3 days kindergarten, last often substitute work. At the age of 28 I started doing drama training, late bloomer, really not finished. NAIEF went to drama school, "I was just doing something". At the audition, the teachers were enthusiastic about her, but had been on her toes for three years (figuratively speaking).
Previously I had all kinds of jobs, sometimes I travelled. Used a lot of alcohol, often in combination with weed or cocaine. At the age of 20 he was hit on the pavement by a car, several fractures of his left leg, large wounds. Pointed feet in Italian hospital. Multiple operations, plastic surgery, rehabilitation.
