Miasms

Sehgal

·    Kali-c does not want to face reality and feels that running away from it will be helpful.

·    This is as per her experience and therefore she acts accordingly.

Delusions, abyss behind him; Forsaken feelings)
  • He can neither comebacks to his position nor is he able to adjust to the present state of affairs.
  • He is forsaken by everyone, including both old and new relatives and she has no one on whom she can depend. To her, retracing would be like throwing herself in a sea of darkness.
Discontented, with herself and everything ( . She is not content with her situation i.e. everything around her and even with herself (). 
  • Fear, poverty of
  • NDIFFERENCE, pleasure to and money making
  • He is afraid of over poverty yet he is a indifferent to all pleasures and even to earning money.  (I). 
  • For example, she is always worrying about her future and keeping a watchful eye on her spendings. 
  • She has an unfounded apprehension.  "If we spend this much today, then where will we find the money for tomorrow." The next moment hope kindless her mind and then she fights with herself.  ()
Antagonism, with herself
  • He thinks everything is going well so "why should I worry so much." 
  • But he has no self-confidence. 
  • He is always in a state of confusion - he is sick; is not able to work; and therefore cannot make any active contribution; is obviously not liked by people and is therefore a misfit; thus goes her trend of thought.  This idea leads her to become indifference to 'Money -making, to pleasure' etc.

·    SHRIEKING, aid for and its supporting symptom

·    CLOSING  eyes amel are the two main indications of Kali-c).

·    


If her husband, son or anybody near to her, offers her some money or a chance to enjoy herself she will say, "I do not need it" etc.etc. Likewise we observe that she wants company because while alone, her problems are aggravated and many types of fears surround her.  Yet she hates the persons who are in her company and treats them violently beyond all measure.  (Company, desire for yet treats them outrageously).  She feels she is sick (Delusions, imagines herself sick) and because of this she is not liked by people and therefore imagines that they hurt her.  She is always fearful of being hurt (Fear, hurt of being).  When she loses an argument and her views are disapproved of, she feels hurt and weeps (Weeping, remonstrated with, when).  When she dwells on past disagreeable occurances, she becomes sad and weeps (Dwells, on past disagreeable occurances ; WEEPING, sad thoughts at).  In her mind she is in conflict with herself because she has moments of hopefulness and sad. These states keep on alternating and struggling with each other within her.  In the end, when she finds herself failing to sustain and keep up the hopeful ideas, she tries to take refuge in just one action or thought i.e. closing her eyes. She will keep on weeping while telling her sickness to her doctor, and will ask him to prescribe her a pill which could make her sleep forever, because she  thinks she is unable to put up with her presents states of affairs i.e. her sickness as well as her surroundings. When asked " Do you mean you want to commit suicide or do you desire deaths?"  She says, "No, I simply want to close my eyes and switch off the power of my perception, because of the things which I cannot tolerate and get away from.  There is no better way than to shut the window which opens out to them." (Closing eyes amel).


Strangely enough in the end, after going through the entire history, and getting information from her relatives, you will find that the things she is crying about are the product of her own imagination (Shrieking, imaginary appearance about).  This is more true as far as her complaints about her children are concerned (Impatient, children about, is).  She becomes more intolerant when she gets the idea that her own children are neglecting her or that her children are being ignored by anyone else.


This was with reference to a lady with cervical spondylitis, stiffness in the shoulder joints, elbows & fingers.  She belonged to a well-to-do family and was properly looked after.  But she felt that she was not treated well because of her sickness and supposed dependence upon others.
