**********************************************
I took Lachesis and had no changes. Now I have taken Lycopodium as suggested.

Here are additional symptoms to be added to my original ones. These are not new, just being documented.
.Happens every fall - begins September, October, or November and lasts from four to six weeks. I think of it as 'my diphtheria' or 'my malaria.' Begins in sinuses. Thick mucous accumulation (color unknown because it does not drain out). Eventually goes to back of throat and down into larynx. Extremely thick mucous (again unseen,) and I think, 'I would give my kingdom for a tracheotomy.' It is accompanied over the weeks by increasing weakness to the point that I am too tired to do anything or go anywhere. Must lie down the entire time because of fatigue. Absolute lack of appetite. Can only drink water and eat watermelon.
.Must have window cracked open a little when sleeping at night.
.In winter in bed, don't like breathing cold air - must cover head with blanket.
.Onions give me rectal gas as do beans.
.Burning, burning, burning constant around mouth, fingertips both hands, toes both feet.
.Silent imaginary conversations that can go on for hours - not with dead people, but with one person at a time that I actually know. For instance, if it is with my insurance agent, the conversation will be about insurance.
.Plucking out hair for hours from eyebrows, eyelashes, hair on face, hair on arms, hair on legs.
.Great big wide-mouth yawning after minimal physical movement.
.Head sweats profusely after standing or walking 20 minutes. Hair soaked.
.Unsteady walking and some say I waddle when I walk.
.Little toe of left foot swollen and reddish at all times.
.Have not taken a vacation or travelled in years. it seems like just too much effort. Would not like sharing a hotel room, for instance.
.Profound aversion to mice if seen in home. Almost hysterical reaction for days later.
