Likes to think they are quite the cosmopolitan and yet they have a deep mixture of melancholy and restlessness and to mirror that they also have a mixture of both paralysis and chorea (all quite contrary). They can feel light and empty. It has been quiet, so I thought you might like a challenge Please try to contribute, keep it fun, it's only a game but a learning one. Have a nice weekend everyone

Causticum seems to fit the description, if "cosmopolitan" and "desire for travel" are synonyms?
Interesting reading on possible remedies.
You have a nice weekend as well!

No Best not to guess then but say why you think Bac It has to start with something. It's not interesting to always solve the question from the first attempt.
I don't have time to explain every mistake. I will explain if I 'guess', and if not me, someone else will explain (did I say 'when they guess'?)

Getting the juices flowing here... The remedy has a strong polarity of activity/inactivity. A "cosmopolitan" person (or one who thinks they are) likes to travel & to learn (restless, seeking), whereas a melancholy person shows a lack of response to normally pleasurable activities or emotions, a loss of interest, feelings of emotional emptiness. The picture I'm forming is of a remedy with alternating states, like those seen in bi-polar disorder.
My next choice would be Cuprum.
Hering says Cuprum is changeable, contrary and has periodical chorea and a number of paralytic symptoms. Kent mentions that its not uncommon to see paralysis after convulsions (he does not use word chorea) in Cuprum. Boericke mentions empty feeling in the head.
Some smaller rubrics that brought up Cuprum and connect the mental/emotional state to the physicals you mentioned are: Mind; sadness; chorea, in Mind; sadness; periodic; chorea, in Mind; contradict, disposition to; chorea, in (If their physical state is contrary, wouldn't their mental disposition be, as well?)
I did not find a connection with cosmopolitan in the sense of "loves to travel" in Cuprum, but it is in Mirilli's theme Knowledge (why?). You said he "thinks he is," so perhaps a delusion (I think this is a stretch): Mind; delusions, imaginations; great person, is
That's all for now.

a really good breakdown although it isn't Cuprum
not so much alternating states more of an either/or and can be both but not having that essential component of specifically alternating

As Gordana 'guessed' Bacillinum due to its need to travel (all the tubercular remedies have this) I will say this is quite a high ranking sx, as if to accomodate the melancholy and restlessness. This might give it away but it was once considered an aphrodisiac

Please explain the difference between "either" and "alternating." I need to refine my understanding of alternating states.

Please explain the difference between "either" and "alternating." I need to refine my understanding of alternating states. An alternating state becomes a keynote and characteristic sx of a remedy when it does just that - say, from right to left, back to right then left and again and again with a distinctive alternating whereas 'either' is when the client might say "sometimes it's right and sometimes left for any period of time but there is nothing striking about time modalities or anything else that might create the moving of location

I love Cyrus Boger, who practiced not far from where I grew up. Under Antimonium crudum: "Fat, fretful, cross & peevish." Then I thought of what Sankaran says in his Insight into Plants, Vol 1, p. 32, "There is no one or nothing out there other than myself." We perceive only what we are sensitive to. (NOT SURE I agree, still musing on this.) Need to do more research, but that's where I'm digging, ant-c.

This might give it away but it was once considered an aphrodisiac I knew! I knew last night, and then I pretended to be smarter than I am. I'm angry with myself now and I won't say. (Do not hold me to the word.)
