Minutus

Had a patient in who told me the following:-


The only rubrics I can find are Mind Delusion limbs are separated from body Delusion arms cut off , dreams dead bodies arms cut off.

Can anyone suggest anything else please? This is just out of interest as it is not the lynch pin of the case.

what abt
mind : anxiety: about his children:acet-ac, ph ac, rhus t

Venkat

It does seem like an extraordinary concern about the children and you need
to know where this is coming from - there is the calcarea type which has the
delusions about the body being dashed to pieces which evolves out of that
more well known aspect of calcarea being profoundly upset at sad stories and
also a fear that something terrible will happen - then there is the
stramonium influence which is always full of terror and has a lot to do with
guilt and damage and being cut up - then there is the Causticum approach
which also has a lot to do with the fear of something terrible will happen,
this too is linked with an imbalance of the emotions, so much grief, over
sympathetic and yet thoroughly despondent.

I am not sure what you are saying about the possible meningitis connection
but this might give more credence to a remedy such as Stramonium.

Perhaps you can open it up a bit for us.

Thank you Venkat, Jean and Joy.
Yes I thought it was interesting. When she comes next time I will try to go into this more. Her PC was an acute depression and grief from a very early miscarriage last year for which I prescribed Ignatia as the keynotes were apparent. She used to work in the medical field which is why she knows about meningitis and the fact that it can mean that amputation is needed. But she said it was specifically it is their arms she had this fear about. I am working on finding a constitutional remedy for her but I haven't asked her permission to post her case. At the moment I see a mixture of Gels.(there is a very specific anxiety about being on time but no Arg Nit fears) Phos (an intuition and she craves ice-cream), and Carc. (her childhood upbringing). However as we all know anything can come out from the first Rx that has been given.

Remember that calcarea has the craving for ice cream and certainly has the
anxieties that will make them want to be on time - it doesn't always have to
be so tightly specific.

Ignatia certainly has oodles of anxiety about conscience and will always be
on time (related as it is to Nat mur who is also always on time, being duty
bound) and they are very intuitive albeit a tightrope kind and they love
their food cold. You might not need another rx.

Hi Rochelle,

Does she have other fears or imaginings, or easily upset/influenced by
things she reads/sees? I wonder whether it could be just part of a
generally nervous and imaginative nature, where the specific "imagination"
is not really the point? Interesting!

Dear Rochelle,

If I could just add my two pennies'worth here: when I read your notes I
immediately thought of 'hysteria'; it's interesting now that you said that you gave
her Ign. Humm, I wonder what will happen ?

Regards,
Grace

Yes the hysteria was definitely there!! In answer to Shannon - the only other fear is one of the house burning down but this was as a child and she had nightmares because of it. No fear of heights, dark, crowds etc She admitted a fear of failure but I am ashamed to say I didn't go into this - but I will!!!! As Joy says the Ignatia might well sort this woman out. We will have to see. The only other thing was that she wakes at 3 a.m. and can't get back to sleep until 5 a.m. Andy has found me 4 Rx for this I couldn't rep it.

The time period you mention for the presentation of insomnia as between 3-5 a.m. is reflective of the circadian time for the Lung system, which in accordance with TCM theory is associated with the pathogenic chi of grief, and that may then be linked to your Ignatia, or any other Rx that you find fits the picture of grief and other signs & symptoms.
