3d) This
wound sensitivity
also extends to burns, for ex-
ample:
·Ulceration from burns or scalds or other causes,
with
great sensitiveness
to suffering, child
screams
on seeing dressings prepared
, dreads and
shrinks
from the approach of any one likely to touch sore.
3e) And to
stump neuralgia after amputation
:
·
Neuralgia of stump
after amputation of thigh.
·
Neuralgia of the thigh stump
, characterized by
crushing pains, regularly worse at night, from
dark till two a.m.
4) Also, it is a remedy useful in
hysterical affections
, and
has
wandering pains
and much
flatulence which is
characterized by the above mentioned tendency to press
upward.
·With this hysterical nature, there is an intolerable
hypersensitiveness to many external impressions:
noise, touch,
mental excitement
are all sources of
aggravation. This
hypersensitivity is physical as well
as mental
, and is expressed physically by the
sensitive
ulcers with offensive discharge
of the carious tibia and
the uterus.
·
Hysteria, with much trouble about throat or esopha-
gus, well—marked globus hystericus and burping,
spasms of lungs, etc.
·
Spasm of glottis, alternating with contraction of fin-
gers and toes. Hysteria.
·The hysterical nature of the patient is revealed in the
telling of symptoms. Things of little consequence are
magnified; he
fears paralysis or softening of the brain
,
is restless, unable to concentrate on any one thing; low
spirited, irritable, and if a woman, there is
alternate
laughing and crying
. With these mental states are as-
sociated the contractions of involuntary muscles men-
tioned above. A
ball rises in the throat
; it can be swal-
lowed away but returns again. Or there is a sensation
as if the
whole esophagus were being forced upwards.
Flatulence
is nearly always a prominent feature of the
case, and tends to
press upwards
, sometimes with such
vehemence as to cause gasping for breath, and reflexly,
occipital headache, vertigo, fainting, twitching of mus-
cles, trembling, etc. Belching loud and violent, which
usually affords relief. Griping in the region of the navel,
heat with a sensation as though the
intestines were knot-
ted into a ball.
·Hysteria worse evening.
·Hysteria, of the flatulent order.
·
Great distension of the abdomen, notwithstanding fre-
quent discharges of flatus.
·
After meals, flatulent distension
of abdomen, making
heart beat very feebly, with faintness.
·Flatus accumulates in the abdomen and
pressing up
against the lungs, produces oppression of breathing and
palpitation.
5) Besides the tendency to hysteria, there can be an
irritability mixed with indifference
as well as an
anxiety
arising in the abdomen
. Also characteristic are the
low
spirits with heart disease
.
·
Very irritable in disposition, and yet indifferent to ev-
erything.
·Crossness and anxiety, which seem to come from abdo-
men, when he has a little difficulty in fixing his atten-
tion.
