I am disturbed by your comments as how do you treat the total patient with one peculiar symptom? I would be curious to know what success rate a person has with chronic cases with such a method. If a full case is taken, several peculiar symptoms can be found, but more importantly you can find a pattern or cycle that the patient is stuck in which keeps the body from healing.

Again, what is the worse thing for this patient since the cramps started. If he says he will miss work and you then ask why is that so bad and he says becuase my family will not have the money needed for or I will feel like a failure and when he says it he becomes very sad that would be very helpful to know or instead he acts angry when you ask a simple logical question and you then ask if he has been irritated by others who disrutb him it could be a simple Nux-v case. But to base a case on a few symptoms seems to be not treating the whole patients response to a new stress and could easily miss the remedy needed.

Will be interested in hearing what cures this person.

Thanks
