I cannot shave properly because I can't raise my hands up to my face. 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, complaints 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.

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.  There are instances also that if the child once selects anyone in the family as a preference he will not like to go to another and that's why 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. It is after a lot of consideration, enquiries and assurances from others that I decide upon a doctor and that is why once I start treatment do not leave him easily."
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.

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.

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

What can be disturbed?  Something that is at peace or rest or stationary.  Suppose there is a tank full of water, and in a state of complete tranquility if a stone is thrown into it the water will be said to have been disturbed or unsettled.  Also displaced from its seat or from its original position. This may be otherwise also.  Something is already disturbed and is trying to regain its original position i.e. the state of peace and in that process of restoration if he gets interference of any kind, he will not like it and resent it.  That state of mind will also be called ' Disturbed' 'averse to being'	Once I take a position, I do not like to change it.  As it takes away from me, the comfort which I somehow or the other try to manage."

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? And further when I think of it that if it happens again I do not think I shall be able to stand it."

Frankly speaking as you suggest that for every type of ailment as for example , sleeping , I shall have to abandon allopathic medicine and depend on yours.

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."

They have good	I am not much bothered about my sickness. Because I do not feel that it is of any significance. 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."
Indignation, discomfort, from a general	Discomfort (n) from general: state of uncomfortable feeling because of having been disrespected, although in a general, way.

Irritability, pain during	Irritability: state of excitability to impatience or anger or annoyance .                     In other words, it is the degree of strain the nerves have to bear.  After a limit the stress of strain is felt and it starts taking the shape of sufferings. This stress when aggravated further takes the shape of pain. It is in the state of excessive strain on nerves which plunges a person into a state of annoyance.	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.

Will, muscles refuse to obey the will when attention is turned away	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. (1)  "I am carrying on just on the strength of my will, otherwise I do not think that anyone in my position could pull on." (2)  "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 try to cling to someone for medicine or whatever he made do." (3)  the child has a very strong will.  He will try to bear pain as long as possible and will not disturb us. But when the pain goes out of his control he tries to cling to anyone who is near. (4)  "when the pain becomes unbearable and my will gives way I start talking to someone." (5)  "I try to bear the pain as long as possible.  When I find that I am not able to keep control over myself I have to take the allopathic medicine against my wishes."
