Generalities
Paroxysm; she awakes, after a short sleep, at 11 o’clock; already in sleeping she felt the vertigo, and was awakened thereby; could not remain lying; tried to reach the chamber pot, but fell down in a swoon; cold sweat broke out; she strains to vomit till this takes place, and is repeated every quarter of an hour, during which icy perspiration breaks out all over her; at the same time she has several attacks of diarrhoea without abdominal pain; at first she vomited acrid slimy water, almost preventing her from regaining her breath; at length she felt entirely empty at the stomach; the least motion again brought on vertigo and vomiting; she dares not stir, and when her eyes closed, the lids falling, as if were, from being tired, vertigo and nausea immediately returned; after taking Mentha pip. she had some hours of sleep; in the morning on rising, the nausea came again and she vomited bile; her throat felt as if scalded; her back was tired, pulse accelerated, together with headache. She is so weak that she cannot stand long; she becomes tremulous and perspires. Very weak after the flickering before the eyes. He feels exhausted and tremulous, but without trembling. Every penetrating sound and reverberation penetrates through her whole body, particularly through the teeth, and increases the vertigo, which then causes nausea. Great exhaustion; he is quite unable to work. Without feeling pain, she has such a queer sensation in her whole head that she cannot describe it. Pains in all the bones, as if every part would fall asunder; feels as if broken from head to foot; thereupon violent coldness so that nothing would harm her; without thirst (after the bite). If violent symptoms sprang up suddenly, Aconite relieved. Later symptoms, and those remaining long after proving several times, demanded Graphites.
