Homeopathy; Materia medica, Vegetable
_Fourteenth day._—Contractive sensation below, and at the right side
of the coccyx. 100. Rheumatic pain at the left side of the neck, the
splenius, complexus and trapezoides muscles.
_Fifteenth day._—Rheumatic pain at the neck, with difficulty of turning
the head to the left side, in the morning. Pain in the head like a
weight on the skull, extending to the mastoid processes. Sense of
loathing with nausea. Oppression at the stomach when standing erect.
105. Pale face, with rings around the eyes and redness at the margin of
the eyelids. Pains in the head like a beating in the sides and at the
vertex, reverberating in the mastoid processes, and extending to the
sterno-mastoid muscles. Sense of constriction in the upper part of the
throat. Yellowish, heavy and frothy expectoration, ever since he took
his drug. The affective sphere is very active. 110. Painful stiffness
of the neck, which prevents one from turning the head to the left side.
Sensation, in closing the eyes, as though the eyelids were cold. Pain
from the occiput to the vertex, with beating, and acute pains.
_Sixteenth day._—Horrid pain in the sacro-lumbar region, at the
articulation of the last lumbar vertebra and sacrum, when attempting
to raise a weight. Pain as when straining a ligament; numb pain in the
left thigh, along the course of the sciatic nerve. 115. Inability to
stoop without experiencing acute pains in the sacro-lumbar region; he
is obliged to lie down. Fainting when trying to sit down, caused by the
violence of the pain at the sacrum; sense of tearing. Nervous spasms,
convulsions, cramps in the calves and toes during the fainting spell.
Sense of shuddering at the rectum. Tickling like worms creeping along
in the rectum. 120. In spite of the pains, he slept pretty well in the
night, from the fifteenth to the sixteenth. Desire to urinate, every
half hour. He urinates a long time. Watery urine, with a greenish tint.
Cramp in the right middle, and ring-finger. 125. Pulse interrupted
for two minutes, ringing in the ears, roaring in the head, beating in
the temples. During and after the fainting-spell disposition to love
everybody, especially those around you. He often thinks of death, but
he is not afraid of dying; he even feels as though he would die without
regret. He reproaches himself with everything bad he has done, even the
least trifles, and considers himself very guilty for having done them.
During the nervous attacks, he thinks of his salvation. The sense of
smell is very acute, he even smells persons at a distance.
_Seventeenth day._—130. The pain at the sacrum seems to decrease, but he
is not yet able to rise from bed, nor stir about in it, he has to remain
lying on the back. He has an appetite, but eats little. A sort of painful
glandular swelling behind the masseter muscle, below the right ear.
Dulness of the head, in front. Sense of oppression at the forehead.
