Hello!

I would like to tell you about my mothers case, because I don´t have any self-reliance since those past cases I was suppose to solve…and I don´t want to do her more harm.
She has rheumatoid arthrit since she was 16 (now she is 56). Her mother died when she was 9 yo and she had a step-mother like Cinderella…She worked very hard, woke up 3 am to get her worke done before she were aloud to go to school. No food, no gentleness in her life,was beaten up… the neighbours gave her cloths and some food, because they felt sorry for her.
Begin at boarding school, when she was 13, bad conditions there. Cold showers every morning even in wintertime, then go out while still wet.
One morning at school couldn´t get out of bed, couldn´t move at all. Was wery stif, felt as if beaten up, sore, aching, when tried to move. Swollen all over, even foot-soles.
Got heavy medication, get better. At same time she got problems with her heart, got tired easily, had stiching pain in heart-region radiating to left arm and neck.
When app 20 yo eruptions ,like boils (red and hard), appered. on her legs, arms and soles, painfull, couldn´t stand on her foot. The doctors wanted to retire her, but she didn´t wanted to. ( Couldn´t support herself otherwise)
Since then aching all over the body, hands, fingers, wrists, shoulders, ankles, knees, hips. In the morning stiffness, better when begin to move. Generally feeling better the day after exertion (physical work). Stiffness better of exertion, pain worse.Swollen joints, cracking jaw when masticating.
Today she lives alone, divorced from my father 7-8 years ago. Had a new friend who died last summer…
Mind: always in hurry (4), she LOVE to work(4), doesn´t like to spend money, fear for poverty?
Can´t relax(4).
Doesn´t like company, but doesn´t want to be alone.(3)
Feels FORSAKEN(4), but very tuff, isn´t afraid of anything!
Want to be needed. Likes to give advices.
Doesn´t talk much.
Hard to make friends.
Hard to throw things away, doesn´t like to lend her things, she is very careful with her belongings.(4) (doesn´t borrows anything either)
She is stubborn(4), she doesn´t give up, “she is not ill” she says.
She loves to dance(4)
Doesn´t like clothes around throat.
Irritated by loud noises, (TV), doesn´t like crowds- got irritated.
Sensitive to draft
RESTLESS.(4)
Clears her throat frequently
Hands move frequently (unconsciously)
Loves cold milk,(4) when she gets up at night she drinks milk.
Doesn´t like fruit s and vegetables, but she likes red pepper and green apples.
No salt, no sweets, not too fat food.
Doesn´t sleep well, wakes up several times, irritated. Dreams about dead relatives. Fells god “over there” in that other world, where she feels she is every night.

I gave her Rhus tox D 30, once a week, since March.(That’s how teachers in our school prescribe) She sleeps well, doesn´t feel that depressed like before, doesn´t have that much ache as before. Can wear her rings again after 2-3 years! Wrist less swollen. She made a “cleaning-day”, when she throw out lots of things she collected through the years. Generally she feels much better. Her heart problems has returned, she has stiching ache sometimes, and than she is worried to die. Not for her own sake, but for mine, who will take care of me? I´m everything to her and it´s rather hard to me. She calls every two hours (at least), she wants me to be dependent at her, she wants to “chain me” to herself.
I wonder if it is the right remedy, if !!! it is, how often and what potency for best result in a chronical disease. If not right remedy, please help, I would like her to have some fun in her life, she is “only” 56, she still has the chance!

Are you sure that her insistence on you being dependent on her isn't her being dependent on you and not wanting to say so. Has she gone into an Arsenicum state here?

Thanks Both of You!

OK,GM, I will give her the Kali carb 200.(Yesterday afternoon she felt a pressure on her left side, she had a warm flush and had vertigo so she just had to go out from the store, to get some fresh air...)Thanks again...

And to Ricky: yes, you´re right. She doesn´t want to travel without me, she wants me to buy her clothes, because she trusts my taste and so on...

Depending on medications now, it seem to be first lach or kali c, then nm, then tub, if there is tub back in family use tuberculinum cm one dose, repeat if nesseceary in a months time.
BUT FIRSTOF ALL HERE IS A HEART CONDITION, USE KALI CARB 200, AND GO TO ONE M IF NESSECEARY, AFTER A MONTH. THEN SEE IF NM SHOWS, OR IF TUB IS IN THE FAM.USE TUB.

ALL HAT CONTAIN COFFE IS FORBIDDEN DURING KALI C.

Oh, GM, I gorgot to mention: my mother isn´t on any medication for her heart, doctors made on EKG and sad that nothing is wrong.
For her reumatism she took lots of cortison, gold and cytostatics before, but she refuses to take her medication now,she hadn´t take any since she is taking Rhus tox; and she feels better anyway!

About her family history: they havn´t got any tuberculosis cases in her family,not what she knows about, anyway. Her mother had apoplexie three times and died of some heart-disease. Her father had brain-tumor and died of it. I didn´t mention this, he died in 1963 and my mother still can´t "let him go". She still got tears in her eyes when she talkes about him and at the same time she feels her heart beating "as in a can". Otherwise it isn´t easy to make her cry, she is strong on the outside. But I have to be careful with what I say, because sometimes I´m rather harsh and can easily make her cry...

understood.Thanks

Use kali now, and see if natrium surfaces, not certain that tub is needed.

Lulabelle this is a homeopathy BB, what's all this teaspoons of anti-histamine and pumpkin seeds doing here?

I agree, Frank and thanks.
I didn´t answer because I didn´t wanted to be rude...
