----VITHOULKAS

This remedy is very much aggravated from fatigue. A man may go out
feeling well for a tennis match and after a comparatively small
amount of exertion start having pains and swellings in the joints. He
will then probably be forced to give up the game and take some rest,
because as the swelling progresses any kind of movement is
intolerable. He feels a paralytic pain especially when the hands are
affected.

They feel definitely better in company, they look happy and satisfied,
but as soon as they are alone their problems start. They hate solitude,
they do not like to stay by themselves because their mental problems
are exaggerated. They develop a constant state of apprehension and
fear, and not only are they easily prone to be frightened but their
symptomatology can be greatly aggravated by fear or fright. The
swellings and the pains can become worse from fright, while in the
women we may see suppression of menses from fear or fright. These
easy going people hate exertion, physical, mental or even emotional,
and if things do not go their own way become angry, irritable,
obstinate and are prone to lament.

Actea spicata has also been prescribed for the deforming, climacteric
arthropathy of the finger joints.)
