Myosotis arvensis

Year 2022, Issue 3, Article 10CaseAuthor: Jonathan Stallick
Woman 54 years.
Presenting: Sleeplessness, anxiety, panic attacks.
She is a creative and advertising copy writer. Lot of bereavements, friend threatened suicide.
She comes across as very communicative, she has a ‘flowery’ way of expressing herself.
“When I do get a good night's sleep, the difference is astonishing. I've always been a good sleeper (it’s the getting off to sleep that’s been the issue).”
Father was alcoholic and committed suicide when she was 6.
4 years ago Mum died of brain tumour.
Loves travelling.
I haven’t worked since pandemic. Lost confidence.
Last September a friend committed suicide.
Another friend felt suicidal. Said “I need you to be my angel again’. “I coached her through some of it”.
I drew a boundary. I felt I was sinking myself. This was too much. I was lost/ Start of anxiety, sleeplessness.
“I have a thing about rescuing people. Completely looking after how other person is and forgetting myself”.
In the past had a lot of drugs: ecstacy, cocaine,marijuana
AnalysisSo much death around her and looking after other made me think of butterflies and moths: especially: Acherontia (Death’s Head Moth).
Prescription: Acherontia atropos 30, alternate nights x 3.
Follow upStarted a new job- front of house, meeting and greeting. “I’m very good at landing (moth!) in situations.
Sleep is better.
Feels different – working.
Getting a lot better but can be triggered by anxiety.
“I don’t know what I want to do or where I want to live. Not sure where I belong”.
“More bad news- a friend with a terminal disease”.
Learning about boundaries.
Still worries about sleeping.
Burning knee cap on and off- swollen, fluid collects in knee cap. Morton’s neuroma- in foot- shoes too narrow.
Life feels as if “I was pulled out of the ground. It’s been a nightmare”.
Likes wild flowers, less organised.
“I just want to forget the past”.
AnalysisAcherontia atropos had done something and there was improvement but not comprehensive. I often find an insect remedy opens the case well but doesn’t cure.
She is very alternative and a writer: 665.
She is indecisive about what she wants to do and has problems with boundaries. She loses herself easily: 665.33.
Lot of death and suicides around her: 665.33.15.
She likes wild flowers and wants to forget the past: Myosotis arvensis (Forget- me-not).
Prescription: Myosotis arvensis 30 (665.33.15) alternate nights x 3 then one per week.
Follow upMuch better in all ways. Sleep is much better: Just ‘remembered’ how to fall asleep, it felt natural.
Emotional temperature has gone right down. Feet and knees are much better.
Had old stye and facial spots reappear. Job is going fine.
