sneezing, etc
1. What exactly happens?Sneezing. It's like 10, 15 sneezes at a stretch. Snot, clear, watery, shoots out of the nose. Saliva too, if it's excessive sneezing. But when i blow out my nose, there's a noise, cuz it's all inflamed,
If i wake up in the middle of the night, it starts, and takes me a while to fall back asleep. Too much sneezing, and then i start leaking urine. A little bit, a drop or two.
Without fail, it happens every morning when my eyes open. ANd continues until I either have a shower, or go out of the house. There are some days tho, once in a week or so, it continues for the whole day.
2. Describe all sensations and pains.
The nose itches inside. Rubbing makes it better. But too much rubbing makes my nose hurt. Itching doesn't really help, it just makes it itch more. My eyes are watery, and sometimes they itch too. Need to rub them, but i try not to. Pinching my nose a certain way can sometimes stop the sneezing temporarily.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
I always want to drink something cold when i'm sneezing, like a cold glass of juice. And usually that makes the problem worse. The more i rub my nose and eyes, the worse it gets. If i try to just breathe, sometimes it just goes away.
It comes suddenly, it goes away suddenly.
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
I don't know. It just goes away suddenly. I do nothing, and it just stops.
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
Waking up in the morning, it starts. Sometimes upon going to bed at night, when i'm tired, i start sneezing too, but its not as severe as it is in the morning.
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
If it's in the middle of the night, 1 to 3 am, and morning, around 6am..
7. When did the problem start? Sneezing/allergies started when i was 9. I changed schools, but i wasn't forced to do so, i wanted the change. But it was then that i remembered the teacher asking me to bring tissues to class. I was the 'new kid' and had a guy bullying me. It's gotten progressively worse as i've grown older. Now i pretty much use a box of tissues every couple of days. Stress always made it worse. Day of an exam, it would last the whole day. By evening, after a whole day of sneezing, i get a headache, and have to resort to tylenol.
If i get an acute tho, it always starts either in two ways. One- sneezing the whole day, and day two it develops into a cold with blocked nose and coloured mucus, OR- my chest gets tight, like a burning sensation, like i want to cough, but i can't. And that soon loosens up to produce the most horrendous cough. A very tickling in the throat type cough. A cough that keeps me up the whole night, and continues through the day. There is nothing i can do to suppress this cough.
THe cough too, will have me dribble a bit of urine, perhaps a drop or two. I go through a sudden craving of sweets, and i indulge one day, and the next day is when this chest tightness comes.
The other problem i need to add is, i've stopped breastfeeding for about a year now. But prior to my period, my breasts still produce a bit of milk. The milk doesn't leak out, but if i squeeze it comes. The right one especially. It hurts too, kind of feels like there's a lump there.
My breast size never reduced from pregnancy. And now- before my period, they feel engorged and swollen. My frame is small comparatively. Prior to my period, my throat itches a lot. ANd i get thirsty, it's always late- 5 to 10 days late. And my tummy feels bloated up. I always feel better once the period comes.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I'm having one of those acutes- a cough, that started as a chest tightness with burning sensation, and an inability to cough. Now the cough is there, but comes suddenly, like a tickle in the throat, and i cough a lot, and then it suddenly ceases. I am coughing mostly in the daytime. ANd in the day the chest feels fine. COme night time and i'm asleep, the burning sensation in the chest creeps up, and no coughing. Last night when i blew my nose it was bloody. Now also, i've come back from the cold, and i started to cough, and i blew my nose cuz my eyes were tearing so much while i was coughing, it was all bloody. Pls suggest something.

Have you ever taken Phosphorus ?
sameervermani last decade
I have taken it before for this chest tightness. Phos 30. And it worked. Then it happened again and the 30 didn't work, so I took 200 and it worked. This time 30 nor 200 worked. I have had this bloody mucus for a long time whenever I get this bad cough.
karinamom last decade
Hmm.. and what was the impact on your general well being when you took the 200c dose ? e.g. Energy, sleep, productivity ? What was the gap between 30c and 200c doses ?

I honestly don't remember. The gap was long in between two acutes and I get this maybe once in 6 to 8 months. I have never it taken ur way though with the taps etc. can give it a try? Do u think it should work for all of the other symptoms? The breast milk?

Can you please provide a little more information about yourself before I pick a remedy? Please give more information the following:
Generals things which make you feel better or worse (These are usually statements which begin with an 'I' , e.g. 'I feel worse in sunlight', and should be a strong correlation with the modifier)
Any food cravings or aversions ?
Any life event which had a profound impact on you, and any symptoms which started with that event ?
What are the diseases that run in your family ?
What diseases have you suffered from since childhood ?
Talk about your mental make-up a little bit. How would you describe yourself, and how do others perceive you ?
Any fears, anxieties or any other problems, any odd feelings or sensations or dreams ?
Food cravings or aversions if any ? (Have to be really strong)
If there was something that you would like to change about yourself, what would that be ?

Any food cravings or aversions ?
I crave sweet stuff, when i'm hungry. Not sugar or candies, but chocolates, and cakes.
But I also like veggies, and spicy food. I love seafood and chicken.
I hate smelly fish, i'll eat fish as long as it's not smelly. I hate salmon, makes me gag.

My mom not attending the birth of my first born. It still affects me. Makes me resent her a bit for it. She was present for my sister's births, and never for mine. After my first was born, I had a hard time nursing him. He latched but my milk wasn't coming in. And he wailed. And then he stopped latching cuz realized there was nothing there. I had to take all sorts of herbs and whatnot to get it to come, and latching techniques, - it took me over 2 months to finally establish successful breastfeeding. I was angry. Angry at myself for not being 'capable', angry at my mom for not coming and visiting, angry at my husband because he just 'couldn't possibly understand'. And i was sleep deprived. SO my emotions went all over the place at that time. I cried a lot. Even writing about this makes me upset. I developed a sweet tooth during this time, and started eating a lot more. Gained a lot of weight. I quickly got my period even tho i was bfing, i stopped getting period cramps, but my periods became irregular, very late. I started suffering really terrible emotional pms before my period, like fights would take place a day before my period. My sneezing/allergies day time stopped. As my son was doing well bfing i felt more secure that i was 'doing a good job'... and i didn't really need anyone to help me, and that's when i felt more confident in what i was doing. SO when i decided to have my second, i actually told my mom 'not to come'.
But after my second child was born, my sneezing went up real bad. Period cramps slowly seem to be making a come back, with each successive period being a tad more painful than the previous. Night time back pains started. Lost a lot of the weight i had after my first born, i eat little in qty but often. Not because i'm controlling my intake, but i generally feel full with eating little. If i overeat, just a tad- i go straight to the washroom- diarrhea, dark brown, and pieces of undigested food. So i really try to pay attention to when i'm full. If i eat too many veggies- i again need to go to the washroom.
What are the diseases that run in your family ?
high cholesterol, heart attack. that's it.
What diseases have you suffered from since childhood ? just allergies. sneezing- was usually only daytime tho.

I was a very moody angry person after the birth of my first born. And i think i just drove ppl away. Ppl couldn't understand me, I couldn't understand them. Husband and i just couldn't connect. After he was about 6 months, i was able to cope a bit better with the demands of motherhood, and i tried to rebuild my marriage. Losing the weight was huge for me, so gradually, as i was losing the weight i was feeling better about myself. More energetic etc.
Now i'm calmer, i still worry when kids get sick, but i'm not as emotional. I feel more confident in what i'm doing. I feel like i can empathize with other moms and am able to relate to them well, so they come to me for suggestions/advice etc. My marriage seems to be in a good place, husband and i understand each other well.
I love to read, so others will come to me for information, or to find information for them. Friends perceive me as a strong person, they say i tolerate alot, and they say that if they were in my shoes they wouldn't be able to bare half the things i do.
Physically, i feel strong. Even if i'm pretty sick i really won't touch the bed unless i'm really out.. i normally carry on day to day activities, doesn't matter how sick i am, or how much i'm sneezing away. I rarely complain about my health to anyone.
Any fears, anxieties or any other problems, any odd feelings or sensations or dreams ?
I fear anything bad happening to my kids. I'm afraid that i'll wake up one morning, and they aren't there. I fear anyone doing something bad to them. I have a problem choosing schools cuz i'm scared of all the stuff you hear on the news. I want them to be strong and healthy, and i want them to be safe.

Okay, please take a single dose of Phosphorus 1M, just 1 pellet in 500 ml spring water, stir well, and take a spoon ONCE.
Please report after 2 weeks (a 1M is a fairly high potency and hence the longer wait).

We should go the LM potency route if we want to avoid all aggravation.
Please porocure LM1 and LM2 in 30 ml teat dropper bottles, oral liquid from here:

It's going to take a few days before I can get that potency. Can I take the 200 in the meantime? The cough is quite bothersome. Thanks for all your help.
karinamom last decade
Hi Karinamom,
If you have taken 200 multiple times in the past, I would recommend taking something else instead, maybe even a 6c will be a better bet.
You have access to a 6c or a 12/15c ?

2 pellets in 250 ml spring water, in a bottle, take a teaspoon from there every 2 hours for 3 doses. Starting second dose, give the bottle 4 hard hits before the dose.
If you see worsening or 'striking improvement' stop dosing.
Report in 24 hours.

Sorry haven't responded. I got a hold of the 6c and will take it today. The cough did improve some tho, but chest still tight when i wake up in the morning.
karinamom last decade
I ended up taking just one dose, cough came back more productive , but bad, I was tearing and I just threw up, I never throw up even when I get nauseous or gag. Should I redose? Now I just feel heartburn like sensation.
karinamom last decade
That's alright, my cough has improved but it does get irritated evening and night before bed, doesn't disturb my sleep, not productive either, just a tickle. I been feeling hot and a little out of breath in the evenings. My sneezing has reduced a lot in the night, still there in the morning. I have been going thru this uneasiness when I am being touched. Like its either suffocating me or I am feeling hot, I can't explain it.
karinamom last decade
Anything else you can tell me ?
When is your birthday ? (I'm doing some research to check if there is correlation between sun signs, and constitutional remedies)

I am a Virgo.
My stomach rumbles a lot, makes a lot of noise usually after I have eaten. I don't like being in quiet room because the other person can heart tummy.
I am afraid of confrontation and will avoid speaking my mind. After the confrontation is over, I get so mad at myself for not being able to speak up. I usually choose one person I am close to to vent out. After venting I feel relieved,
I like ppl around, but yet i find myself needing to be by myself from time to time, and sometimes not being able to get that space frustrates me. It's just a little time but I think I need it daily.
I go frequently for bms like twice or thrice In a day but rarely do I get the I am done feeling, I always feel like a pressure at my rectum.
