Minutus

Hi,
Could someone explain me what is the sensation named 'Eingenommen' in "The Chronic Diseases", please. I. H Tafel translate it to, well, here is:
"One of the German terms wich seems to have no good English equivalenmt is Eingenommen with respect to the head. It means literally "occupied" and describes the sensation produced in the head by a cold, where the parts are as it were benumbed and incapacitate from acting freely. Dr. Hempel has usually describe this state of the head by 'obtusion', Dr. Dudgeon usually by 'confusion' or 'muddled feeling'. We have usually rendered it with 'benumbed feeling', though as none of these terms was quite satisfactory, we have also sometimes used 'meddled feeling' or 'obtuseness'." (CD, pg. vi, Translator's preface).
I don't know what o how it feels. If you can help me, I will be very grateful.

Hola Miguel,
Other words (synonyms) for 'Eingenommenheit des Kopfes' (German synonyms
according to Clotar Müller, 1854; English expressions my translations):
Benommenheit - dazed state
Dämlichkeit - stupidity; dumbness
Wüstheit - could perhaps be translated with 'chaotic feeling'

Interesting: In Jahr's repertory section of his 'Grand Manual',
'Eingenommenheit' is listed under the chapter 'sensorium' with the
synonyms
Befangenheit - (this word has a completely different meaning nowadays:
diffidence, awkwardness, prejudice, bias)
Benebelung - swimming of head; dazed feeling

Hope that helps,

Gaby

HI,
Thank you very much Gaby and Tan.
I am studying sulphur and I was surprised that Allen is much more complete and better translated that Hering; however, the symptom "confusion" cited in both is not at Kent's Lectures, neither there is approach in the synthesis. I think they confused such symptom and wrote it as "mind-confusion" even when they don't mean the same thing.
