Burning sensation when inhales Top of back aches, with tightness.
Takes inhaler more than she used to "I am worse when cold, moist, -
**damp". I have placed this emphasis on damp because I experienced an
unusual reaction She actually whispered the word `damp¹ but it was as if
she could not finish the sentence without adding it on she just had to say
Œdamp¹ it barely came out of her mouth, as though she had mouthed it
slightly delayed but it was there. You would have to experience this to
realise the importance of how it was uttered it was very unusual. I was
even waiting for her to say Œdamp¹ It became very big to me.
Pains in legs if walks a long way

Sneezed continually. It was snowing, raining etc.
Mental and Emotional:
She is a morning person - Can¹t stand tightness around middle or back
Does not like consolation
Likes parties the more people the better
Anxious and unsettled to arguments or bad feelings between people
Does not like waiting
Talks fairly quickly
Jealousy (boyfriends) - possessiveness
Untidy - Suspicious - Critical (if feeling pressured)
Contradicts her family
Cannot make decisions
She is easily startled
Sees herself as an extrovert
Memory is worse due to stress at work
She is optimistic
She has fantasies and imaginations to loud music
Independent with money
I asked "What complaint bothers you most of all"? She said BLOATING
Pains in back and legs
Her pains are in bed and relaxing for warmth as a person > Stretching
She later informed me that she had enlarged liver, her feet and armpits
sweat especially in summer and she has flatulence, indigestion and
heartburn.
That she has guilty feelings about eating a large meal and fears vomiting.
I prescribed Nat Sulph 30. I gave one dose of 30c and everything left her
body ( except the migraine )within a few days. A slight return of the
bloating was followed by another Nat Sulph 30c which put that right. I gave
Sepia 30c for her migraine with slight improvement.
