calling all fellow homeopaths.... i had a very interesting case today. The strange, rare and peculiar is that the lady believes she is a wolf - she has the sensation of ears, fangs, etc. All her language is 'canine' - she whimpers with pain, wants to jump and bite people when angy, feels like howling at times (but restrains herself). Big affinity with the full moon.

I remember the wolf theme is prominent in the salmon provings (Sherr), yet I can not confirm as I do not have a copy. Any-one know if the proving is online??

There are alot of physicals in this case too (fibromyalgia/ IBS/ chronic pain/ arthritis). I see some of the 'salmon' aspects that I remember - but just need to confirm the physicals, pains, and sensations, etc.

no help needed now!! Have decided to give belladonna, based on the full picture. Very interesting historical connection with belladonna and lycanthropy (were-wolfism).

Fibromyalgia and arthritis is sycotic miasm usually unless there are symptom expressions of degeneration that point to a syphilitic state of the disease.

I'd think Bell may not adequately cover this miasmtic expression - so keep a watch for new symptoms that develop as an indication of which direction the cae is going.
all the best,

The salmon picture is one of desiring to return home, with perhaps the realization that after doing so one's (current) life will come to an end. It doesn't sound like that's part of this picture.

Have you thought about wolf's milk--lac lupinum? This has a theme of not wanting to be confined in any way. If she talks about this, along with the other symptoms, it's something to keep in mind.
