Chronic urticaria and angioodema PLZ PLZ PLZ smone help, too depressed

Mine is chronic case of urticaria and angioedema both occuring together. First occured 15 yrs ago. At present I m totally dependent on allopathic medicines like levocetirizine. If stopped for 2 days, get a major attack. Taking it since 1 month.

When I started urtica urens 30, Antim Crudum 30, cina 200, pulsitilla 30 and stopped levocetirizine, after 3 days got a major attack.

Urticaria comes mainly on thighs, legs, butts, arms, back, around face. Angioedema includes swelling on lips, jaws, eyes, throat(i feel like choking). I suspect it is caused by eating cheese or some nuts but i m nt sure.Took allopathic tablets for worms in stomach but it did not help.

Symptoms decrease in fresh air, after taking bath, in airconditioned room. Increase in humid and hot climate. Becomes worst at 1 o clock in the night.

Other symptoms include alternate constipation and loose motions ( my stomach is never fine),gas in stomach, poor digestion, a white layer on tongue always persists, delayed,scanty,and painful menstruation (pulsitila helps in this).

I have anxiety prone nature. Have suffered from panic attack 2-3 times. Become insomniac due to mental excitement( could be either joy or sorrow or stress). Think too much, can imagine anything. Get imaginary fear for no apparent reason. Very emotional, touchy nature, start weeping quickly

have a sedentary lifestyle. Height 5'2', weight 59 kgs,Age 28yrs, Sex: female student of Phd (too much of academic pressure)

One more symptom which i always have is, salivation during sleep which comes out of the mouth and sometimes my pillow becomes wet.

Have weak immune system in general.

Had duodenal ulcer, reflux oesophagus, 4 yrs ago. Get acidity and gas often. Got Severe contipation 2 months ago.Find it difficult to digest milk. Have hairfall and greying of hair since 2 months. Have curly dry frizzy hair which are prone to dandruff but at present dandruff free. Get few pimples on face sometimes (mainly before periods). Nails are not very strong. Like all kinds of foods and fruits.I live in a hostel so do not get proper nutrition. Have calcium deficiency since 3-4 months for which i took calcaria phos but then this urticaria, angioedema started so stopped it.

I feel i get all the stress related problems.

Please please help me. Also suggest that if i start homeopathy should i stop levocetirizine or not? this time i stopped and got an attack. I believe only homeopathy can cure the root cause.

Hi,

Thanks for your patience!

Please take Arsenicum Album 200C, 4 drops mixed in 1/4 glass of mineral water, 1 time a day, for 3 days. Only One Dose Daily.

Report progress after 2 days.

Also, please go ahead and order Apis Mellifica 200C.

Many prayers for you.

Regards
Nawaz
 
nawazkhan last decade
Thanks dr. Should i stop allopathic medicines and urtica urens,cina 200 which i am already taking?

I already have apis mellifica. when to start that?
 
calibre18 last decade
You are Welcome!

Please one remedy at a time. You must not take any other homoeopathic remedy while taking Ars. Alb 200C.

Good, you already have Apis Mel 200C! We will use after looking at the response in a couple of days.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Ok Sir then I am also stopping levocetrizine and ebastine which i am taking since 2 months. Would that be right?
 
calibre18 last decade
No, not really, please do not stop your allopathic medicine at once. You must phase out these slowly after getting well with homoeopathy.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Ok dr. then i m reducing the allopathic tablets to 1 per day from 2 per day. yesterday i did nt take at night and took arsenic alb instead. At night the allergy was lesser but in morning it was same as i have everyday. I am very positive abt homeopathic treatment. Hoping for the best.Thanks!
 
calibre18 last decade
Well, it is entirely up to you to deal with the allopathic medicines.

How was your comfort level after taking the Ars. Alb. dose?
'yesterday i did nt take at night and took arsenic alb instead. At night the allergy was lesser but in morning it was same as i have everyday. I '

How less was it?

Please continue with the remedy as suggested and report progress on daily basis, if you can?

Many prayers for you.

Everyday the allergy becomes worse from 1 in the night till morning but yesterday when i did not take allopathic medicine and instead took arsenic alb, allergy became worse only towards the morning hours.Everyday i get rashes on thighs and arms at night. Yesterday i got milder rashes on thighs and arms towards morning time and also one finger had swelling. Today morning i took one allopathic tablet so all this has subsided as of now.Any way, the allergy subsides considerably during day time on its own mostly. Will take arsenic alb at night again.

Thank u so much for ur prayers and attention.

Thanks, please continue with the remedy.

Dear Sir,

Yesterday also it was the same response. Rashes were less in the night but increased towards the morning hours on thighs, arms and upper back.The itching was slightly lesser than it used to be.No swelling.

I recalled something which I thought i should share with you.

Some 3 months ago I went to a psychiatrist for the first time in my life, thinking I need treatment for anxiety disorder.The dr gave me medicine.After taking it for 2 days, 3rd day the fingers of both hands started shivering all of a sudden. It subsided in few hours after taking proper rest. I stopped the medicine immediately and never went back to that dr.

Then after 2 weeks i started coughing suddenly without any reason, which was not normal.I took some home remedy like turmeric powder and honey and it subsided but same day after few hours urticaria started. It subsided in 3-4 days by anti allergic tablets.

Then after 2 weeks urticaria and angioedema appeared again along with sudden coughing and irritation in throat. And since then it has not stopped.

Sorry for giving this info late.

Thanks and regards,

My mental symptoms are :crying, depression,sadness over trivial issues. Reason is that i think too much.I can imagine anything and everything.I start crying talking or thinking abt my problems.And i start imagining worst consequences. I dnt trust ppl. Worst is, i dnt even trust my fiance, knowing very well that he loves me, i doubt him.I feel insecure that he will stop loving me or he will start disliking things abt me, or start liking smone else. Also i get angry and irritated in a moment.I have no reason to b unhappy abt anything still i m nt happy and lively person. I have extremely worrisome nature. Too much anxiety.Anxiety causes things like loose motions,vomiting, increased heart beat,fear of frequent urination.Thatsy I feel scared of going out of home.But if i am with my family these symptoms r less, if i m distracted n nt thinking abt these, they go away.I m extremely cautious abt public image n too worried for my studies.I am a topper since childhood n feel the pressure to maintain it and make a great career.I have been very successful in academics always,still the fear and anxiety.I make friends with very limited ppl.Anxiety, anger, lack of trust on partner are serious problems in my life.I get insomniac due to excessive thinking, both positive n negative thoughts make me insomniac.I sleep between 3 AM to 5 AM daily.Stress related problems which i have/had are duodenal ulcer(4 yrs ago), irritable bowel syndrome(comes on and off), panic attacks(twice 2 yrs ago). Presently i also have fibroadenoma in right breast but its a small one so i have ignored it.

Still Sometimes i get back that shivering of fingers and feel extremely weak, but less shivering than that day.Mostly happens around noon time.If i eat food or chocolate and take rest, it helps.This has happened 5-6 times in last 2 months.

I have too many problems but i feel the cause is in my head and nothing else.Most of my problems are more psychological than physical.If i go for tests they mostly come normal.My haemoglobin is normal,still i feel weak.I have very low stamina.Coz all i did entire life is study and study and study.No exercise, no sports.I sit, read,think, brood,worry.

Since taking Ars Alb, i dnt see any difference in mental symptoms.Today i took Ars at 11 pm. There are slight rashes and itching since 2 AM, on arms. Will update u in the morning now.

Thanks a million for ur patience for listening to me.Till now nobody ever listened all this.

I want to be a very happy and healthy person, both physically and mentally.

Thanks again, i will follow ur advice religiously.

Last time i had swelling on lips when i stopped anti allergic tablets for 2 days. These days also I am nt taking tablet at night, only in morning. Should i start again at night?Pleas advise
 
calibre18 last decade
Please stop the homoeopathic remedies for a couple of days.

Could you please describe your rashes in detail? How about the itching, any reduction in that?

Continue with your allopathic medicines as usual.

Many prayers for you.

hi
there is no benefit from taking ars alb.its wrongly prescribed.
Take the followings:
Antipyrinum 200 three doses daily,
Bovista 200 three doses daily,
and Apis 1M one dose at bed time.
and u ll be ok

Hello Dr. nawaz,

Yesterday I could nt get internet connection so cud nt see ur post of stopping the medicine.

Yesterday in evening also i got slight rashes and itching on upper back. rashes r red coloured patches. Still i took Ars Alb 200 at night. Around 2 AM there were very slight rashes and itching( much lesser than it used to be). In morning today the rashes and itching was very very less on back and legs and no swelling. Otherwise i used to get it every morning.I did not take any tablet at night. I sticked to the daily routine of Ars Alb and one tablet in morning.

Please reply should i still stop ars. alb today or continue? There is some prob in internet availability today so request you to plz reply bit early.

Many Many thanks,

What you need at this stage is Rhus Tox 200C for 2 days. Daily one dose.

Please stop Ars Alb.
 
nawazkhan last decade
Ok Sir, I will try to get Rhus Tox 200c today.

Today in morning i had lesser rashes on legs and arms. And there was very minor itching and no swelling.

But mental symptoms included extreme tension, anger and later sadness

Thanks

Hi,

Good Luck with Rhus Tox as it will really help at this stage. Please do not take Apis Mel. after this remedy.

'But mental symptoms included extreme tension, anger and later sadness'

I am working on this too, by God willing, these issues will go away soon.

Many prayers for you.
