The ABC Homeopathy Forum
tastes in mouth/sinuses
About 4 months ago I was exposed to pesticides. I don't know what ones but there were several exposures including direct skin contact with something - not sure what - that causes intense neck and head pains. I countered them with NAC and colostrum and other supplements but slowed down on taking these once symptoms got worse about 2 months into this (same time as the skin contact it appears but I wasn't aware of it at the time so I thought the supplements were the problem).However, in time with more exposures I got sicker and ended up with hepatitis (no jaundice just a lot of liver and gall bladder pains) and sleeping extra hours. I had a lot of brain symptoms (ear pains, noise sensitivity, lights flashing in vision field with eyes closed, headaches, sinus burning), lots of sweating, smelling something which seems to be inside of me. I had some GI upsets (runs) and at times my stools and urine would reek of chemicals (and still do but not as often). I had pains across my midsection too that were possibly something on the order of leaky gut syndrome. Those pains have now died down.
Homeopathically I took chel 6x and sulphur 6x a few times when symptoms were at their worst. I have taken other supplements over time to counter these things.
I saw my doc once (not a homeopath) and the blood work showed elevated lymphocytes, slightly elevated liver enzymes (not drawn at my worst) and low protein. I haven't gone back for more blood work (due to in 2 weeks approximately) and wasn't specifically told what yet just it would be retested but I relayed to them about pesticide exposures and neuro symptoms.
Now 4 months after the start of all of this I still have symptoms which are this really obnoxious taste in my mouth and sinuses (amalgam leak??) together with this constant feeling like I am breathing in and out toxins as whatever it is is affecting my mind still. This smell seems to be there most of the time but varies in intensity and might be worse after eating. My sister in law thought I smelled of 'pine' but I can't say what I smell.
I have metal fillings in some of my teeth and those teeth now hurts at times and I think that was triggered by a supplement I tried. My pH is probably off on the acidic end but I don't have acid reflex just that I have checked the pH of urine and salivia recently. I am concerned about having to get dental work done or teeth pulled.
As much as I have regained a lot of my brain functioning, my reflexes are still poor. I can think better than a couple months ago. I lost weight during all of this, didn't have an appetite but have regained some of that. I didn't have a problem drinking fluids and actually feel better on drinking high potassium ones.
I get afternoon/evening headaches that are moderate intensity more on the right than left. I have a sense of fluid in my ears. My vision is distorted at times (I do have cataracts but that isn't the problem). At my worst 2 or 3 months ago I had no body pains such as arthritis or fibromyalgia but now those have returned. I am affected more by cold damp weather.
I can do some walking which will leave me exhausted but I can do it. I can do routine household chores too right now as long as I don't have to think too much about how to do them. I can carry on semi-intelligent conversations and do some puzzles out of my puzzle books but make many mistakes.
My sleep is now poor with frequent awakenings. I have to eat a lot of carbohydrates to get to sleep normally and I need to change that habit. Usually I can get back to sleep okay but not this past week. I am waking up in moderate sweats (not as much as back in July) and muscle pains. I have sleep apnea and use a cpap.
I take blood pressure meds, and two other meds and would like to get off them but not sure I can. I am not saying I am going off them by any means just I have shared with my doc my desire to get off them.
I suffer from long term depression and am somewhat paranoid at times.
I need a small list of remedies to choose from and hope someone here can make suggestions that I can then look up. I have a lot of standard remedies in 6x and 30x and have a few other remedies in my collection.

Thank you for your reply. I have 6x, 30x, and 200 C in Nat Mur but no 1 M. I will look up more about Nat Mur in my books but a remedy of one of the Nat or a Kali seems reasonable just that I do better determininng remedies for acute problems.
