655.42.12 Semecarpus anacardium, Case
Case by Alex Leupen.
Man, 22, stomach complaints.
He had stomach complaints, in the epigastric area and radiating to the oesophagus. He experiences pain almost daily, better bending forward, from pressure, after alcohol, cold beer, cold drinks, eating large quantities and worse from French cheese, smoked tofu, Chinese food, fat and living on his own, doing something incorrectly, forgets an appointment or is secretive.
He was the scapegoat at elementary school, was teased a lot. He did not belong to the group; he was the only one who was not invited to a school party. He asked himself what was wrong with him. His forceful parents did not support him because they quarrelled a lot with each other.
Sometimes he is embarrassed about hurting other people’s feelings. He cannot stand screaming, shouting or quarrelling. He sees himself as weak because he smokes and uses cannabis.
He broke off with his girlfriend because she was judging and oppressing him, seeing him as stupid.
He bites his fingernails and his knuckles.
He studies biology and does exams with little effort and without fear. He has a tendency to quit too soon, or has too high standards.
He loves plants and animals and enjoys caring for animals, his hamster.
