Anger, interruptions from Cench, Cham, Cocc, Dulc, Graph, Hell, Nux-v, Spong	Cessation of activity many times in between before its completion. Strong displeasure felt at the breaks experienced to in smooth functioning of anything.	My ailments are a source of obstruction in every type of my activity. I cannot shave properly because I can't raise my hands I can not eat properly as I can't move my jaws. I can't walk properly as my knees don't bend. Definitely all this annoys me.
Anger, touched when Ant-c, Cham, Cina, Iod, Lach, Tarent	Coming into contact with the fingers or hands or any part of someone's body Sometimes touch is pleasant and sometimes unpleasant, may convey friendly feelings or evil designs and invite reaction accordingly. This is about physical touch. There is another more important in this context where words and thoughts touch the mind and provoke strong displeasure and a desire for retaliation.	Because of my ailments, ideas come to mind that if I die what will happen to my children. There is none to look after them. They are so small and innocent that they will require love and affection of someone. These sentiments move my mind violently to argue that I have never thought of doing any wrong to others then why all this suffering for me and my children.
Anticipation, ailments from	Anticipation: Trying to foresee or realize before hand. Troubles arising when trying to foresee problems. Becoming tense when thinking, if such and such problems comes how to solve it.	I am going out station. If my trouble agg and I am not confident that I shall be able to manage it so I suggest that you must be me some medicine as stand by so that I can meet the emergency

Clinging, to persons or furniture Bar-c, Borx, Cina, Gels, Phos, Puls, Stram	Clinging: sticking or coming closer by embracing. Sticking or coming closer to persons or furniture by embracing Sticking or fastening oneself to anything tightly or closely with no idea of leaving it as long as one's faith allows it.	Generally mothers complain about their children that they cling to them so badly that they will not leave them even for a moment.  The child selects one of his family member as a preference he will not like to go to another, therefore everybody hesitates to offer him a lift. If you could cure a case of cancer you will definitely be able to cure me because my case is not that serious. It is this idea which has been convincing me to stick to you. After a lot of consideration, enquiries and assurances from others that I decide upon a doctor, that is why I do not leave him easily.
Confusion of mind, muscles refuse to obey the will when attention is turned away Anac, Aster, Gels, Hell, Lil-t, Tarent	This rubric may be changed in this fashion.  'WILL, Muscles obey the will so long as the will is strong.' This rubric indicates the relationship between the mind and the functions of the body. All depends upon the firmness of mind.  If the mind it becomes weak and accepts excuses the body has to offer for its malfunctioning then body assumes control over the mind and vice versa. This rubric may be changed as Muscles obey the will so long as the will is strong.	I am carrying on just on the strength of my will, otherwise I do not think that anyone in my position could pull on. I try my best to keep control over myself. The pain disturbs me too much and ultimately a stage is reached when I am unable to hold myself and cling to someone or a medicine (Allopathic or Homeopathic) against my wishes. The child has a very strong will. He bears pain as long as possible and will not disturb us. But when the pain goes out of his control he clings to anyone who is near. When the pain becomes unbearable and my will gives way I start talking to someone.
Delirium, blames himself for his folly Op	In a state of imbalanced mind the person holds himself responsible for a fault and treats his action as foolish.	I am suffering because of my own folly. Yesterday I was on an invitation. Food was very tasty. I knew that I was eating beyond my capacity. Even then I did not listen to my inner voice and the result is before you, I am having a severe pain in my stomach
Delirium, crying for help Canth, Stram	In a state of delirium man is uttering loudly 'save', ' save'.	My condition is alarming.  Take it serious.  Doctor! please do something. Otherwise I shall be no more.
Delusions, help calling for Plat	Calling for: A feeling of need for A sensation, a feeling from within (through sensory nerves) is conveying that the system has started asking for help. Earlier to this it was thought that a little aid in the form of tea, milk or some home made stimulants will suffice to tide over the crisis. But the trouble could not be stopped or checked and ultimately the need for help , 'save', 'save', has reached.	I am not feeling well, since many days. But I did not take it seriously in the beginning. I thought that with the help of some aid in the form of tea or hot drinks things will be okay. But now after so many days I feel that the situation is going out of my hand and I must get the proper medicine otherwise the disease will pull me down.

Delusions, poor thinks he is	One who is short of as much of something as is required to remove poverty. This term varies from man to man. A person may not feel poor even after having lost a lakh of rupees but another may even after losing just one rupee. So in this case since a person feels short of one rupee he is to be treated as poor by one rupee. In this way it is a relevant term.	I am not quiet fit. It is as if I am lacking in general efficiency.  This may be due to age also. I accept that age has its own bearing
Delusions, thin is getting   Sul	They convey two different sensations. One is that the person is getting thin. The process seems to be continuous, the sensation is that he is getting thin day by day.	I feel I am losing fat day by day. (Slowly) I am not worried, but quite conscious about it I don't know the reason but I feel that day by day I have been losing the grit, the force the confidence which once used to be reflected in the way of my talking on my face.
	His body is already thin. So getting thin means that his energies are gradually getting diluted which are heading him towards grave and the other is he is already thin. So getting thin and may break anytime. This is a sensation about the structure of the body. About the mental set up he feels that he is losing or has lost grit, guts or self-confidence.	I feel that I am thin and not up to the mark. Can you do anything? I want to gain some fat. In spite of being fat and without the sign of thinness she feels she is half of her old size.
Delusions, thin body is Thuj

Your patient says, "In the night to attack was very severe."  "What about now?"  "It is better" he replies and hurriedly tries to draw your attention towards the intensity of the ailment he suffered from in the previous night. This he does with greater stress so that you should give more importance to what he thinks you should. "But why don't you like to give due importance to your present condition which is definitely better than before?" "What do you talk" he tresses with an embarrassed tone, "I am so terrified that when I imagine about the severity of the attack which I had last night, I fail to understand, how could I bear it and pass it without harm?

Each individual has his own measurement of the excess. One person may like to pay not more than Rupees ten for a thing and a paisa more may be treated by him as exceeding his limit but another may not mind paying Rs. 15/- even for the same. But both of them will be scared to cross the limits they have in their minds.	Doctor, previously you were never taking so much time. So much so that very serious ailments were treated by you within a short time. Now for this minor trouble you are taking too much time.
Feigning, sick	Feigning: Assuming an appearance of sickness.  To represent fictitiously one's own condition of health. This is the literal meaning of Feigning sick.  But actually in practice it is not necessary that the person may put on totally a false appearance of sickness.  It is possible that he is really sick but wants to make it appear in an exaggerated way so that those around him must know that he is really sick and give him their due attention.  And part that purpose he will employ such behaviour as is necessary to serve his aim because in reality he wants attention.	You know, that these days the near ones have no time to pay attention to a sick person in the house.  So sometimes through different types of gesture I have to make it known that I am not well.  At occasions I have to represent my sickness in an exaggerated way in order to get their assistance and attention to that exten I need.

It is my husband who has generally been admonishing me for this.  Because in his view I am a careless person so for my health is concerned. It is at his insistence that I have come to you for the treatment. I think it will heal by itself. Blame himself for his folly / Reproached himself maybe the second stage of Indifference to Suffering / Frivolous / High spirited. Patient always come to see you in the second stage since in first stage they do not feel to need you. So in Reproaching state its useful to find what was the first stage which ends in Reproaching stage

But sometimes a situation may demand that you have to put a cover on a particular issue. Yet I will not able to do it for too long a period. Because if I find that to prolong hiding will mean telling a lie I will uncover the hidden fact promptly. For example, let me tell you about these black spots on the left side of my face. Whenever I will meet a stranger I shall cover them with my hand but if the same person meets me frequently I shall stop covering them.

So long as the pain there I remain irritated. I shall not like to talk to anyone. As if I am annoyed with everyone and everything around me. It is not necessary that the pain should be in the body, it may be in the mind. Because if I find something unjustified it also annoys me and brings the same changes in my attitude as above.
