Disease Overlays
DR Xxxxx : What Changes the Clinical Presentation of these Illnesses?
Many of these symptoms develop with and are more obvious in long-term illness.
The symptoms are quite variable and there are substantial personality overlays. Some people have aggressive personalities (Annaegrams, Ennaegrams) that present with very different behaviours to others.
Understanding the enneagram is critical to understanding personality and behaviour. Behaviours that are normal for one personality may be very unusual in other personalities.
So different patients can begin to look quite different. Some may be aggressive, some apathetic, some have more loss of confidence and others can become unexpectedly irritable, simply based on the personality overlaying the medical illness. (I.e. Paill Spectrum infection).
Personality typing people is important as it allows doctors to consider symptoms that may be inconsistent with the personality type. I.e. These symptoms should not be seen in a person with this type of personality, and therefore must have arisen for a reason. Perhaps even a Paill Spectrum reason.
In summary, assessing just how sick people are, depends on a number of factors. The extent and number of Paill Spectrum symptoms, blood test results and very basic factors like the personality of the people involved. Personalities like the "4" (tragic romantic), on the Enneagram are much more likely to "be" their disease.
This patient experiences attacks of "Anxious Depression". This complex history shows the appearance of symptoms of Paill Spectrum such as headaches and the typical sore spots over many years. Paill Spectrum treatment resolves the symptoms. She relapses many months after ceasing treatment, a typical Paill Spectrum scenario.
Opposite of Anxious
Erasmus met Dr Xxxxx and over a number of years grew to develop a belief in the problems of our world.
Erasmus is an old dog, but he reckons he still can do new tricks. He’s been around, and up and down a few dry creek beds in his lifetime .Born into servitude at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, Erasmus quickly realised the world could be a hostile and dangerous place. Puppies disappeared daily, never to be seen again.
Kinkajou: Features in our web sites as an adventurer but he is equally accomplished in the art of reasoning and has often followed the comments of Erasmus to their logical conclusion. His belief in the truth leads him to always "tell it true". This is the world as it can be seen and this is the real world.
Dr AXxxxx. Simply best described as a cold inhuman bastard, Erasmus says we are indeed lucky to have this paranoid psychopath on our side. In spite of his antecedents, his perspective is valuable for us to use to understand our world. Dr AXxxxx’s past background is in taking charge and being master at the helm of the ship of destiny. Control is the ultimate goal. Nothing must stand in the way of control. Domination not cooperation. Suspect your enemies and kill them first, preferably after extracting all useful information. Your destiny is yours to make and to take. Vengeance is a heady mix to this paranoic murderer.
The Commandant: Head of our security detail, the Commandant believes in doing the right thing and always considering safe options. However, his view of what is right is coloured by association with Erasmus, Kinkajou and the doctors Xxxxx.
Frobisher & Beethoven: These guys are our bullywot "security mooks", Frobisher is the literate one while Beethoven provides just more raw muscle power. While Officious and Intolerant of transgressions, they none the less have a sensitive and fragile side to their natures, an aspect their personality totally at odds with their aggressive and fierce appearance.
Goo is a simple and humble mammal.(Actually a marsupial numbat really). His ability to change the world is limited by his meagre intellect and his short life span. Furthermore, as a member of an endangered species, he has to face the prospect of personal death as well as species extinction. He could one day be the last of his kind.
