Minutus

Thankyou Joy, Shannon and Barbara for your thoughts

Joy you always have a great understanding of the deepest points in a remedy and it is something I enjoy reading as it opens up many possibilities for thoughts about possible treatments

Shannon I thankyou for your always having a practical and understanding input that rises above any irrationalities shown in the wording of messages.

Joy you asked about rubrics I had considered in the case

These fit the patient-
Re: nat Mur. Looking at Vithoulkas-
poeple susceptible to devleopign nat mur type of pathology are emotionally sensitvie and vulnrable but quite clear and strong on mental and physical levels.
Have a high degree of objectivity and awareness and repsonsibility. Can be the sympathetic ear to whom others turn when distressed
they internally however absorb the pains of others, exprience deep impressions of life, have awareness and understanding beyong their age,they become cautious after being hurt and turn to introverted activities i.e. reading books, listening to music.
Primary concern in life become snot to hurt and not to be hurt
Don't want to reveal their own emotional vulnerability, and become serious
thin and delicate
do not cry easily when suffering a grief
sense of integrity
aversion to slimy food
try to solve problems themselves
extremes of emotions

Peter Chappell - they are closed, secretive and vulnerable

Murphy- worse consolation
cheerful - laughs vs sadness
hurriedness and anxiety
despair about future
irritable an cross when spoken ot
drinks large quanitities of water
hungry [sometimes] yet loses flesh
craving for four things [patient in past used to crave lemons but not now]
worse touch
better open air, cold bathing [often washes head under cold water]
better going without regular meals
better talking long

craving/aversion to bread
wanting to hide

patient had also responded to nat mur in previous years when wanting to walk off into the dark alone and after a head injury

Other remedies considered include Aur [given] depresson, craving bread, deep breathing; Lyc- mental symptoms and pain in toes [given], Puls- pain in toes and sometimes wanting to hug/dislike of meat, deep breathing; Ars, Staph haven't used this as although is obviously angry does not voice the anger which although not essential to staph I have found these patients often do.
Ign- given
Rhus Tox- better walking in open air, anxiety, sadness, despondency, bursts of pleasantry and sarcasm
restless at night, anguish driving from one place to another, delusion of being watched, fear of being poisoned
hyos- fear of being poisoned
stram

patient had been afraid of family poisoning them before disappearing for a few years.

All other thoughts appreciated

thankyou

Hi again,

I'm on Digest, so I didn't read this before I sent the last mail.
The head injury is v. interesting as, depending upon the seriousness of the event,
people can change personality after brain trauma.

With his mood swings and violent thoughts/rages, plus introversion, in your opinion
is there any possibility he has developed a personality disorder since ?

regards, Barbara
