Guilt memory in mind and its repercussion on the muscles of palms were still alive in silent form. Convulsive attacks were nothing but shaking off his guilt from the mind and blue appearance of face, was guilty and depressed expression. The background of the case reminded me to prescribe Cuprum metallicum 200, one single dose. A punishment from finger to the fingers!

She told that he got severe convulsive attacks, sometimes 4-5 times per day. Ī boy 16 years old visited the N.I.H OPD with his mother. Seizures can also vary in frequency, from less than 1 per year to several per day. Seizures can vary from the briefest lapses of attention or muscle jerks to severe and prolonged convulsions.
