Urging to urinate, but inability to pass urine until a largeclot of blood has been passed. In Coccus cacti the right side of the heart is affected, the vessels becomefriable and there is hemorrhage, oozing of blood, forming great black clots. The above symptomsuggests a woman with uterine hemorrhage. There are hemorrhages of the uterus where the blood flowsfreely, coagulates slowly and does not form much of any clot in the vagina. But in this remedy the clotsform very rapidly and the vagina becomes packed, and the bladder cannot be emptied until the clot isexpelled. Uterine hemorrhage is a strong feature of this remedy. Copious, frequent, prolongedmenstrual flow. Large, hard, black clots fill the uterus, are expelled by labor-like pains, and form again.Inflammation of uterus and vagina, with copious, thick, white, jelly-like, ropy mucus.

It is mostastonishing sometimes about this great sensitiveness. Pains are increased by noise.Sensitiveness of hearing is so great that sounds are painful.Pains in the face, toothache, headache; pains in the lower limbs; everywhere aggravated bynoise. All the nervous disturbances possible are found in this medicine, and they are all aggravated bynoise. Even the opening of the door and the ringing of the door-bell produces great suffering. Suchpatients are so sensitive that they hear sounds which those in a state of health cannot hear. Perhaps nomedicine in the Materia Medica approximates this sensitiveness of hearing where it is accompaniedwith pain, unless it be Nux-vom. Those practitioners who do not know this generally resort to Nuxvom. for pains aggravated from voices in another room, or from noise or the sound of children. Manyremedies have increase of nervousness from noise; noise aggravates headache, and aggravates sufferingabout the head, and makes some persons nervous. But pain in the extremities aggravated by noise ispeculiar. It seems that the noise disturbs him so that he cannot bear pain.The Coffea state is brought on by emotions or violent excitement of the mind, but especially byjoy or "pleasant surprise". The result is sleeplessness, nervous excitement, neuralgia, twitching ofmuscles, toothache, faceache, red face and hot head.You may be called to the bedside of a woman who has been laboring for some great cause. Sheworks persistently, is successful, but goes to bed with weeping, delirium, neuralgia, sleeplessness. Herheart palpitates, her pulse flickers, she has fainting spells, and without Coffea she may die. Coffeedrinkers who kept up through some ordeal and then break down are similarly affected.The Coffea patient is sensitive to wine. A small amount of wine intensifies the nervousness,produces sleeplessness, flushed face, feverishness, great excitement. Not necessarily intoxication, butnervous excitement. Coffea has a painful sensitiveness of the skin beyond comprehension. I rememberone particular case. A woman had her lower limb out of bed and it was as red as fire down one side. Iwalked toward it to put my hand on it But she said, "Oh, don't touch it, I can't bear to have it touched; Ican't touch it myself". I asked how long this had been coming on. She said, "Oh, it all came on withinan hour". Such a symptom is common in coffee drinkers. There was no fever. Intense stinging, burningpains in the skin with the redness and heat with coarse rash coming on suddenly, leaving just assuddenly.The sensitive part is aggravated by cold air, aggravated by any wind or from fanning, frommotion, yet aggravated by warmth.aggravated from any one walking across the floor. The woman I referred to scowled when l waswalking toward the bed. A number of times I have seen such things relieved within a few minutes byCoffea.Fainting from sudden emotions. Hysteria, nervousness, weeping.Pitiful weeping from pain; trembling and weeping from hurt feelings; the slightest neglect. Thegreatest mental and physical exhaustion; great restlessness; lying awake most of the night.
