From its proving we can perceive that it is similar to diseased states in thehuman family, and especially in women, namely, hysterical and rheumatic conditions. The patient isalways chilly, easily affected by cold, sensitive to cold and damp weather, which rouses the rheumaticstate and develops a state of rheumatism not only in the muscles and joints all over the body, but alsoalong the course of nerves. In the general nervous disturbance there is a lack of will balance, or greatdisturbance in the voluntary system, which is the underlying feature of hysteria, the symptoms areintermingled with rheumatism With the pains we have soreness all over the body.Trembling, numbness, jerking of muscles. Inability to exercise the will over the muscles of thebody, turmoil in the voluntary system, with stiffness.Tendency to take cold and thereby she takes on sensitiveness in the glands and larger organs,such as the liver and uterus.Complaints in these organs come on from cold damp weather (Dulcamara) and from beingchilled. The patient is sensitive to cold in all parts except the head, and is aggravated from becomingcold both in parts of the body and in general. The headaches, however, are better in the open air andfrom cold, which is an exception and a particular, for the general feature is aggravation from cold.There is a terrible mental state that alternates with physical states. Its an overwhelming sadnessor gloominess, She is bowed down with sorrow. Sits and mopes in great sadness, like Psorinum andPulsatilla. This may off instantly, or be brought on and aggravated from motion, from fear, fromexcitement, from taking cold. Very commonly there is muscular soreness, a bruised feeling all over,with drawing and jerking. This will let up very suddenly and leave a nervous, hysterical girl in a stateof sadness, and she will sit and say nothing. When questioned perhaps she will break into tears orexpress in various ways the overwhelming sadness. With the headache there is marked sadness.Changeable moods. The physical and the mental are all the time changing. Other symptomsalternate and change. The jerking has made physicians See the resemblance to chorea in these hysteriorheumaticconstitutions. The rheumatisms will change in a day into chorea, and again the choreicmovements will keep on with the soreness throughout the muscles of the body. The jerking andsoreness and numbness often keep on together.There are certain features about the chorea that should be noted. Jerking of the muscles when ina state of emotion or from becoming chilled. If any part of the body is pressed upon jerking of themuscles of that part will take place. One of these nervous, rheumatic, hysterical subjects may not havechorea constantly, but as soon as she retires at night the whole of the side lain on will commence to jerkand prevent her from going to sleep. shoulders will jerk and prevent sleep. She turns over on the otherside, but after a little while the muscles pressed on commence to jerk. All this time she has become sorestless and nervous that she is driven to distraction. The mind is full of all sorts of imaginations, andthe body is full of all sorts of uneasiness, because she can find no place to rest upon. Sometimes themuscles are so sore that they cannot be lain upon for any length of time; sometimes it is a numbness,sometimes a jerking.These things are queer, but they belong to the patient, affecting not one part, but the wholeeconomy.Full of fear, anguish and restlessness. Fear of death, excitement, suspicious. "Will not even takethe medicine because there is something wrong about it".
