Hi Rochelle,
Here’s an idea from a relatively new proving that we’ve already
discussed a while back:
Result of referenceworks search for word “bubble” yielded the text of
the proving of the remedy Ubulawa, (dreaming potency) which is available
online via The School of Homeopathy’s website It has bubble,
disorientation on waking, and pain in jaw articulation (don’t recall
what the jaw sx of your pt were, maybe more masseter muscle? Anyway, it
may be worth a look. Best to you,
andy
================================================
Patient speak:-
What does anyone make of this?? Is it worth even trying to repertorise
since it only happens on some Monday mornings and I don't even know if
there
is a periodicity to that? I've been through all the delusions and come
up
with:-
Delusions body only half alive
D. thoughts being outside of body
D. imaginations vanish she will
D. lost she is waking on
D. lost she is (salvation)
D. imaginations lost way, his
Does anyone think that any of these are relevant or any others I haven't
found?>>
==============================================================================
From Ubulawa (dreaming potency)
Disconnected & Uncommunicative.
Introspective mood all afternoon and didn't communicate with
anyone. 04P 01 XX.XX NS
Feel very disconnected today - remote and removed. My stomach is
very uneasy. I don't feel that I'm processing things very well and it's
evident by the feeling in my stomach. I've had powerful dreams but no
time to digest them. 16P 10 XX.XX NS
========================
Feel as though I'm in a plastic bubble - didn't feel part of the world
as though everything going on around me - nothing and no one can touch
me. 18P 18 XX.XX NS
========================
Feel very uncomfortable with myself. 18P 12 XX.XX NS
========================
Wake up feeling cold and distant, disconnected from my feelings.
Irritated by anything superficial and mundane. This changes after a few
hours of expression and support with my friend, PMT. 09P 18 XX.XX OS
========================
Detached and not able to do anything to feel better. Not able to
say what I want to do. 17P 07 XX.XX NS
As I write this I see my hands and they feel separate from me but
still mine. 15P 01 12.05 NS
At meeting with proving supervisor didn't want to talk or discuss
anything. 15P 02 18.00 NS
Partner and I argued and slept apart. Woke up feeling very flat.
During the argument I was aware of everything but felt removed. All our
doubts and fears came to the surface like a volcano. He was pushing me
for a commitment to stay for 6 months. I knew I was so out of it, I
couldn't give it. At the same time, clarity, like you feel you're
looking at something from above: clarity like being pushed down into the
ground - merciless. I felt very clear about us being at opposite poles.
I refused to give him an answer. I was not angry at all, just removed. I
knew that whatever I was feeling, I shouldn't talk about it. I don't
want to engage. Normally I would feel like I need to resolve it there
and then. 16P 01 XX.XX NS
I'm feeling more heady again with deep quietness and a slightly
estranged sensation - estranged from myself, a bit like being on the
outside again. 16P 03 22.00 NS
This remedy pulls you so quickly down to earth, you see things
without emotional attachment. I remember in a dream from 3 months ago,
that a woman came to me with a book and showed me written very clearly
all the issues in my relationship with partner. I felt completely
removed and there was no judgement. Last night I felt in that space of
not wanting to talk, to feel the situation as it was, but to sit with
myself and see it clearly. She lost her train of thought half way
through a sentence. 16P 01 XX.XX NS
While having an imaginary conversation with someone in his head, it
seemd to him that the whole person was there, not just their ideas or
voice or the image of their face. It was a conversation in my head and
there was no question about that, but the person I was speaking to was
there in their entirety. 15P 26 XX.XX NS
All evening. I feel heavy. I'm finding it difficult to communicate
verbally - to find the energy to find words to articulate - removed to
the extent that it doesn't matter. Answering direct questions is
particularly difficult. 16P 01 XX.XX NS
Hands are very clear and noticeably separate from body and seem
larger. Similar feeling about the colour yellow to those he had about
the colour red, as if it were something to hold onto. It offers a sense
of security. 15P 26 XX.XX NS
I've been feeling a little spacey, a bit high, a bit removed, like
watching a film rather than actually being a part of my life - sometimes
feeling totally removed. Most of the time this is a pleasant feeling,
but sometimes alienating, particularly when anyone needs a grounded form
of contact or communication with me. 16P 01 08.00 NS
==================================
Face sx
============
Clicked left jaw - pain worse movement. 03P 08 XX.XX NS
===========
Eruption, cheeks and chin before menses improved during proving.
07P 00 XX.XX CS
Eruption, hairline before menses improved during proving. 07P 00
XX.XX CS
Small spots above lip, left side. 09P 03 XX.XX NS
More sore inflamed spots coming up above the mouth, worse on the
left side. 09P 05 XX.XX NS
Spots on forehead and temples, pre-menses & during. 13P 16 XX.XX NS
Fuzzy/numb feeling on left side of face. 18P 01 XX.XX NS
Face flushed. 18P 02 XX.XX NS
