As I had written, I chose to give Staph 1M, 1x to Pt.
Tc from her on Jan 13, 2002 revealed a strong response to the potency. She
reported the following changes:
Dreams:
1. hollered at her daughter-in-law for incompetence, and then wound up
at a vegetarian singles dinner. It felt good to yell at D-in-L.
2. cleaning under her refrigertor and pulled out a tray with a naked
baby who was red on the left side. she was gratified to find and said "oh,
that's where you've been!" she was elated. The baby did not move at all
3. a woman in charge of video equipment at a large women's gathering.
She was late getting there and M felt bad for her--feared woman would be
rejected. But the woman showed up and M felt bad for her being late
4. an older couple at church (in their 70's), man died & M met the wife
at church. in the dream she was youthful looking and M was shocked that she
looked better after her H's death
5. in an apt. the rooms were dark, wet and moldy walls
very uncomfortable. all the corners moldy
6. left a snack bar and returned w/men in a truck. they got out to get
order and forgot hers. Men laughed at it (her). M got out to get her own
bagel.
7. singles dinner. M sat at end of table by a talkative woman who
smoked. M couldnt figure it out: she would never sit by a smoker.
Within 3 days of the remedy she experience great terror. Terror for feeling
fear. Terror for being alive in a fearful world. Afraid of letting anyone
close. Terror at finding out something terrible about herself, her
inadequacies; her neurosis. Not good enough, smart enough; no one to love
her. These are old feelings and were prominent in her childhood.
In therapy, trying to connect with this terror, she began to move her body,
twirling her arms and hands. The energy was chaotic, rolling around,
uncontrollably. Sobbed. Almost no control; unsettled, swarming energy
inside.
So that alive sense in her stomach seemed to expand to this total whirling,
chaotic energy. The issue of the half-red baby is interesting. She had no
concept or emotional connection to it except joy in finding it. The singles
dinners reminded her of singles events which were like meat markets and she
was uncomfortable being there in her dreams. However, the female
connections are strong and her antipathy or distrust of men is strong. The
dream of the older woman who began to look youthful after her H's death
speaks to this theme, I think, as well as the truck driver dream.
what came up as an unusual Sx for her, was an aversion to any clothing
around her neck.
Generally, her mood is good, but she is exhausted from all the physical
changes--HA's, stomach distress, 3 fingers on right hand swung further to
the outside and locked up on her painfully. Her tolerance for pain is
lessening.
She spoke of needing to learn to surrender and thought to read a book I
recommended that focuses on this.
I think there is a bit of movement in the right direction, but not enough.
I was thinking of the tarentula which you had strongly recommended with all
the chaotic energy and twirling of her arms when experiencing the feelings
of terror.
The color red comes up with the baby. However, using the following rubrics,
lach comes up a the top rx. Stram shows up strongly as well and has the
desire/amel for company which neither lach or tarent has. What do you
think?
EXTREMITIES - PARALYSIS
EXTREMITIES - PARALYSIS - Fingers
MIND - DELUSIONS - fright - as if in a fright
MIND - GESTURES, makes - wild
MIND - DELIRIUM - wild
EXTREMITIES - MOTION - Upper limbs - involuntarily
EXTREMITIES - MOTION - irregular
EXTREMITIES - MOTION - loss of power of
GENERALS - SUDDEN manifestation
MIND - FEAR - men; of [= male persons]
MIND - COMPANY - desire for - amel. in company
EXTERNAL THROAT - TIGHT around neck and waist; cannot bear anything
