This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I don't suppose you need to be told that this is a terrible reason to take a homoeopathic medicine. Well many people must learn the lesson this way.
The best way to deal with this is to take the symptoms, everything that is current including normal things that are worse, as well as new symptoms.
This is my normal intake form. Answer what you can on it and myself or another practitioner will do what we can.
GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION
It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.
1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing.
As well as this, please describe any traumatic indicidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.
Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.
Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior.
Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow.
Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.
If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
The best way to deal with this is to take the symptoms, everything that is current including normal things that are worse, as well as new symptoms.

It would take a long time for me to give all my medical history, I know that detailed information is the key ! but in this case I have taken 1 x sulphur 200c to detox.My lungs burn and my throat is sore/burning, feeling bit dizzy and sick (no temperature)and lungs clear of phlegm when I lay down my feet and hands burn thumbs go numb sweating profusely at sleep,feel like my life is in danger and may die,Rhus tox 200c made me a bit better for a few days, but now all the sulphur provings have returned and I know this is a stupid thing I have done now!! I have been a homeopathic novice for 21 years and have always found amazing results as I am a sensitive and cannot take allapathic crap.....Please help me stop this nightmare. Intrestingly enough the main areas affected are my smokers lungs and throat, I have had my lungs xrayed 3 days ago and a full medical check up and they can find nothing wrong with me so that comfirms sulphur proving to me??

I know you may not want to, but to follow the advice of Hahnemann in the Organon, whenever a patient develops new symptoms on a remedy, a full case needs to be taken, keeping in view both current and new symptoms.
The Law of Similiars is always in effect, only by matching your symptoms to a remedy can an answer be found.
You can if you wish go through all the listed antidotes, but if you are sensitive, good chance you will prove a few of those as well.

I totally understand what you are saying.Hahnemans way is the best.I guess I am looking to get out of this as quick as poss as I can bearly think straight and because of my extreme detail and detective nature it will take me some days to complete my history!!
Now thinking that Pulsitilla or Cham could be the least reactive out of the 13 antidotes that Kent mentions. Sorry for putting you on the spot but I am very untogether and somewhat spaced out at the moment!!

Without better symptoms I won't hazard a guess. Guesses run the risk of making it worse. Perhaps someone else here would be happy to guess?

You may take a wet dose of Aloe Soc. 30C asap.
