Beryllium Metallicum -
light and elastic to thin and cystic Precious Emerald is a variety of Beryllium, coloured green by traces of Chromium and Vanadium and the less precious but nonetheless beautiful Aquamarine is another variety.
Beryllium comes in many colours, especially yellow, pink and white. Number 4 on the periodic table, next to Lithium, above Magnesium and not far from Sodium and Hydrogen for neighbours and with colourful links to Vanadium and Chromium, Beryllium is quite light, elastic and durable, unlike the symptom picture which covers mainly a tubercular state as well as cancer, allergic constitutions, chronic fatigue, kidney stones and other ‘lumpy’ producing states such as granulomas anywhere within the body – a very deep acting remedy and easy to appreciate when you realise how noxious and toxic the dust particles are.
Thin, lumpy, cystic and weak would describe the journey of disease regarding this remedy.
More specifically the pathology might begin with a slight fever with accompanying sleepiness. Headaches are common with pains that are described as bursting, they are >>> fresh air, lying on the painful part but <<< for any kind of movement (you might be thinking of Bryonia initially). Another type of headache is one that spreads from the occiput to the mastoid and that characteristically moves from left to right. Weakness sets in after eating diminishes even though there is appetite and the knock on reaction to that are symptoms that come from a lack of nutrition such as dry and cracked lips, small ulcerations appearing in the mouth, palpitations, anaemia, gingivitis and various skin conditions.
The feverish onset gives rise to thinking that an acute episode is unfolding but it gradually becomes a chronic state. Acutely the throat becomes reddened and shiny with an >> from cold drinks and by eating. A coryza sets in that has an acrid discharge >> fresh air and << warm room and the eyes become inflamed and light sensitive.
But then the condition spreads to the lungs and respiration is painful and again, there is <<< from movement (you might well still be thinking Bryonia). Coughing becomes spasmodic and the heart and circulation is involved showing some cyanosis (the hands particularly turn bluish) and a symptom that suggests how serious the situation is getting is when clubbing of the fingers occur (indicating a direct link to an underlying lung disorder).
Possibly because of this painful spasmodic cough there is back pain << bending forward as well as lying down. The pain is described as a stitching pain or pain as though from needles and felt most in the sacral and lumbar regions.
Finally the skin develops nodules and papules, granulomas and papillomata. By this time emaciation will have taken hold but the subfebrile state continues. Sputum from the cough becomes blood streaked and stubbornly difficult to expel (mainly due to a general weakness).
Quite possibly there will be a history of allergies (the ‘soil’ for conditions such as these to materialise and develop further).
Another presentation is that of someone who has been chronically fatigued with no other obvious cause or symptoms until the subfebrile state begins more clearly.
Sometimes difficult to ascertain these situations often develop from a viral infection with a resulting chronic fatigue syndrome that lingers for a long time afterwards. This viral state might well involve the heart such as in myocarditis during the feverish stage. Another historic indication is that of hepatic deficiency in some way such as gall bladder inflammation from stones or digestive problems that initiate from the pancreas, even kidney stones can appear in the recent history. So you can imagine quite a long drawn out line of ill health that finalises as thin, lumpy, cystic and very weak – a long way from being light, elastic and durable.
