Itchy throat and plugged ear Page 6 of 6

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Okay really haven't taken any more doses of the arg n. Mood has been good. Energy good. Sleep has been fantastic. Really dEep to wake up refreshed. Yesterday I had a temporary aggravation- hemmorhoid..I used to have that problem but it has gone today. Today, I am sneezing again, but in the morning..how I used to before my first pregnancy. What should I do at this point? Wait it out? The throat pain is completely gone. Little cough and mucus coming out in the morn.

Wait it out. Sometimes proper management of an acute can bring further changes to your chronic health issues. See where it all falls before doing anything else. If the throat pain comes back redose with the Arg-nit (in water of course).

Ok. Will wait this out. Allergies...tons and tons of sneezing. I used to have this...itchy nose etc. Will post tomorrow on how it goes.

I've been having an itchy throat again in the night... but sleep has good. Otherwise, mood has been good... no throat pain, and no other issues :) Thanks so much!!!!

Is it possible for you to hear out a case of nephritis, and respond with your advice?

Thanks,
karina
 
karinamom last decade
haha you're welcome, although you did half the work with your own Arg-nit prescription :)

Sure happy to look over that case.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
haha, well with your guidance of course!

I'm starting a new thread for the nephritis case. Please take a look at it when you get a chance.

Thanks,
Karina

So not an urgent question..but can I have coffee while being on arg nit?
 
karinamom last decade
Coffee doesn't affect homoeopathic remedies unless you are particularly sensitive to it. Even then only habitual use in a sensitive person could cause a problem.

Please please help here. My allergies have gotten so much worse. I've had them since I was 9, but never this bad- all night, and through most of the morning. By afternoon and evening the sneezing settles, but if I stay up late (until i'm way tired), then the sneezing starts up again.(passed 10pm)

This is how i can describe the symptoms. I wake up in the morning with itchy eyes, and sneezing. If i rub my eyes, they feel great while i'm rubbing them (and i'm quite aggressive w it), but the moment i stop, they're itchy again and i want to rub them again. I have to resist the urge to rub otherwise it just feels worse after rubbing. They start tearing, and feel swollen.
The sneezing is continuous, and brings about the runny nose. But the sneezing is preceded by tingling, itchiness in the wings and septum of the nose, inside. The more i blow my nose, the more blocked it feels, and the more itchy it feels. Itchiness makes me want to blow my nose more, which makes it more blocked. I feel like rubbing my nose, which i try not to do. Its a bad cycle.
For a while now, the blowing in the night has been excessive, so i wake up with the right side of the nostril quite inflamed, if i breathe in, there's like a trumpet sound? haha, it's loud. And i can notice the swelling just by looking at my face.
The discharge is clear, watery, and will run down my nostrils. My nose is always looking red in the morning.
My right ear is often plugged in the morning, i try to keep swallowing to unplug it, which it does for a second or two, just to get it plugged again.
The throat itchiness has been there, same- through the night it gets worse, terrible in the morning, and settles through the afternoon/evening. Same issue, i use my tongue to rub it, feels great while i'm doing it, but that just causes more itchiness after.
Open air alleviates my symptoms most of the time, whether its hot or cold outside.
I have a deviated septum, and have always had allergies in the morning.
After the birth of my daughter, they have troubled the nights too.
The only thing i can think of is i hemorrhaged after giving birth to her, and was about to pass out. (Double the normal amount of blood lost). The oxytocin didn't stop the hemorrhaging, so they used a shot of ergometrine (?), which stopped. But i had quite a bit of cramping afterward, which did not last long.

I get headaches frequently. I would say once every 2 weeks. If i resist tylenol, it slowly gets worse during the day, but bearable. If i go to sleep, it wakes me up in the middle of the night and has gotten 10 times worse during the sleep. Then the nausea comes, dizziness, and pounding on top part of my head. Its at that time that i have to take the tylenol. Heat always helps me when i'm in pain, whether legs, back, head pain. I'm used a hair dryer before to ease my headache, but once i slept, the pain came back with a vengeance.

Does any of this information help? I'm really tired of these allergies and now that my kids are actually sleeping a lot better through the night, I'm unable to sleep because of all the sneezing, etc.

please help

You had been better for awhile. Have you gone back to try the Cocculus again?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Hi David,

Just a thought for you to consider..

Don't you think, the symptoms seem very syphilitic, deviated septum with nightly aggravation of all symptoms, especially the severe headache at night waking from sleep.

Have you considered Hepar ? It got indicated earlier too, and is a remedy coming up again.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Actually I just looked back over the case - Arg-nit was self-prescribed here with success. Have you gone back to that remedy?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Alright still looking over what happened with the previous prescriptions. I notice that after the Arg-nit, the allergies began to act up, but all other mentals and generals were better.

When did this problem with the allergies etc. begin to get bad - how soon after that prescription?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I can't remember. I know it settles but once the kids get sick and I start stressing over them, or I wake up in the night alot' allergies come back, and then they don't go away.
I'm a stressy person, and allergies have always been worse on days when I had tests, or something important going on. I have been waking up a lot in the night to check on my son, I'm working on night time potty training him.
 
karinamom last decade
Then it is Cocculus again - that is the same reason I gave it to you in the first place - Anxiety over the health of loved ones, lack of sleep from caring for them etc.

Take one dose of the last potency you were on (200c?)
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Yeah 200c, I think I upped the hits last time, but it didn't have an effect.
 
karinamom last decade
That is because you had another acute episode, the throat symptoms. You needed Arg-nit to get through it. If Cocculus is your chronic remedy then you will have slipped back into that state.

We won't know for sure until you try it. I would also consider 1M. However, as Sameer has rightly pointed out by his suggestion, the symptoms need to be kept in view for a change of state, so I will look those over as well.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
i did take cocc a few wks ago assuming i was also back in the state, but it did not have an effect. I used the 200c.

Since my daughter was born, i get a tiny two drop leak of urine when i get a bad cough, or sometimes when i sneeze. Not always. I had a lot of discharge when i was preg with my daughter, towards the 38th and 39th wk, it already started becoming bloody, way ahead of labor.

The only new symptoms since the last acute that i can notice, is i've become very appearance conscious. I was always simple, dressed down, and quick. Whatever was convenient and made sense. Now, i wanna do everything possible to dress up. I'm painting my finger nails, toe nails, dressing up everyday... which has never been me... but husband is quite appreciative! haha.
Other than that, i don't know. My sneezing attacks have always been in the morning.... but now, nighttime as well, which quickly blocks up.
I still have my sweet cravings, (again since my daughter's birth).
Oh the one thing i have noticed, is if i have a quarter cup of heated brandy before bed, then that night i don't sneeze much. But i'm not a drinker at all and don't like drinking too much, or everyday.

When i first posted, i had chills everyday around the evening, and feet cold- even to another person's touch. Now i'm hot. Always. I'm turning up the ac all the time.

Energy is still up. Sleep has improved in the sense that i don't just wake up, unless the sneezes wake me up but i'm quicker to fall back asleep.

I worry less about the future, and think less of it. Live each day as it comes. I'm happier generally and calmer.
 
karinamom last decade
Hmmm...is your desire to dress up a symptom of a disease though? I am not sure that qualifies as a symptom :)

So are you in a new state or still the old one I wonder - in clinic I would just give the higher dose as the first step before changing remedies, especially if the causation is the same and causing more sickenss. In clinic however I can give out multiple remedies at no cost or time wasted for the client.

Considering the symptoms, and not the history, I would consider Euphrasia - do you have or can you get this remedy easily. 30c is fine at this stage.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Yeah I have euphrasia in the 30 and 200.
 
karinamom last decade
Great just make the 30c as we have been all the others (hitting the bottle twice, 1 drop in 1/2 cup, stir and take 1 teaspoon).
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I took the dose this morning, and haven't noticed any change as yet.
 
karinamom last decade
Repeat the remedy 6 hours after the first dose, then another 6 hours after that. Those 3 doses should tell us how suitable it is.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Its been 12 hrs since the first dose... So what would be the amount of time between the 2nd and 3rd doses?
 
karinamom last decade
6 hours is best.
