(Think of a female who is nervous, exhausted; gets headache on thinking, she is having severe stomach colic and is bending double and moving about. She tells her complaints to anyone who is coming. All she talks about is her pains. Which are sometimes here, sometimes there, and they come and go suddenly. She wants warmth, any cold draft or working in cold water aggravates her. She uses hot water for household work. She complaints of cramps while playing her favourite musical instrument, can’t do it anymore.

The child has convulsions during dentition. He’s a restless baby.

The old catheterized himself to get relief of urinary troubles, though uncomfortable earlier, he has started experiencing severe pains after he started catheterization.)
