Nasal Blockage

Since last 4 yrs I am facing a lot of change in my body. The most important of them is narrowing of my nasal breathing passage. A few times in a year I face severe nasal blockage due to mucus accumulation and it lasts for several weeks. During that time the condition becomes worse when i lie down in bed (not after sleep, but even just lieing down) it becomes impossible to breath in that position. There is no way i can sleep during those nights without a nasal drop. As day starts the blockage opens fully or partially. As I walk it gets better. Drinking warm liquids makes things better. Warm saline nasal irrigation helps a little but over all the passage is narrow and so the water cannot pass easily, even when there is no mucus.
Other problems are :
Feel and catch cold from feet. Hair all over the body is turning grey very very rapidly and hair on the head has thinned off a lot during these years. My TSH level is very high and is fast increasing every few months and skin turns dry and heals crack very easily in the winter. Susceptibility to cold has markedly increased and it seems that the immunity level has fallen sharply as there is frequent need of antibiotics due to some infection or the other (like infected sinusitis or dysentery). Every few months something or the other happens for which doctors have to prescribe me antibiotics, even if they try their best not to do so. Have tried many homeopathic remedies but have not got proper benefit. Please Help.

1. Describe your main suffering?

The main sufferrings are multiple and keeps varying with time.

In short I would like to say that after every few months there is some trouble or the other.

It could be just anything. Acidity, colitis, gas, vertigo, tooth problem, anxiety, stomach upset, frequent throat problem, neck and shoulder ache or some injury or infection or the worst of all the nose block. Over all the general problem is that i very easily fall sick.



2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

Apart from what is mentioned above I have been diagnosed with step throat infection many times and some months back had a very bad staphylococcus infection involving deep boils. Many years back I was also diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolaps and recently with Hypo thyroidism.

Nose block problem is worse mostly at night till early morning.




7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?

well again it all depends on the problems faced - u r asking too general questions - i face multiple problems and each problem has a different set of factors aggravating or reducing it. Regarding my nose problem i have already mentioned it in my first post.

Most of the sufferings are related to sinusitis throat problem like cold and cough and the abdominal area like acidity, gas, bloating of the abdomen, colitis, and rectum related problems. All the problems keep coming and going. But in general I can just point out that I fall sick very easily and frequently. Above all the mental condition is responsible for the entire problem. I am suffering from all this since many years and the symptoms have kept changing over the years but recently (since abt 3 yrs ) things have changed very differently. Like I cannot tolerate cold. Feel much more cold than I felt earlier, skin gets dry easily. Do a lot more mistakes in typing and writing. Forget things very easily. Wish to drink warm (which is just the opposite of what was earlier). Feel in-secured now due to failing health. Hypothyroidism and very very fast graying of hair all over the body. And the nasal blockage problem. It is very difficult for me to explain more abt what I like and dislike and other such things because I myself cannot make out due to so many problems, complication of the symptoms and changes in the body. What ever I surly knew abt myself I have written till now more than this its not possible for me to figure out. In fact I feel irritated with so many questions whose replies I myself dont know for sure and feel they are the same questions being asked again and again in different ways. If you read what ever I have written in the past few days you will be able to make out what I wish to say. Beyond this I am unable to reply back. Thanx for trying to help.

please take 5 doses of LYCOPODIUM 200C once every 12 hours.

thus in 48 hours, you will take all the 5 doses.

you should not take any doses after that.

take 4 drops of remedy in some 10 ml water as one dose.

no food or water or washing of mouth one hour before or after that.

please come back after 15 days to report changes.

initial aggravations if any is part of the treatment and you should not worry too much about it. if it happens, just drop a post for me to tell you what to do next.
 
rishimba last decade
Sure i will do that and start the medicines from tomorrow. Is 200C the same as 200 ? Here in the market we get medicines as 200 and in X potency. Moreover I would like to inform you that since a few days I am having a lil stomach upset and so I was having Aloe and Merc Sol. So should I take Lyco immediately after that or wait for a few days ? The stomach is still not perfect. There is cramping in abdomen and a lot of gas and pasty and sticky stool.
 
oldmonk last decade
200c is the same as 200 potency.

you can stop all other remedies and take lycopodium.
 
rishimba last decade
Thanx ! I will report back after 15 days.
 
oldmonk last decade
Dear Rishimba, today I finished taking Lyco 200 (5 doses in total). You asked me to report after 15 days but since yesterday afternoon I am having a lil trouble in my gums, seems some food got stuck or somthing like that. And the gums in that region (last molar) got swollen. I keep having this problem once or twice in a year and if i use Plantago and Calendula Mother tincher as a mouthwash it gets ok in a few days. Can I do that ?
 
oldmonk last decade
yes, you should not let any food stuck in your mouth. take it out either by flossing or by any other method as soon as possible.

after 15 days you should tell me if you feel some relief from bloating of the stomach.
 
rishimba last decade
It is not comming out and so the gums are getting swollen. But if i apply Plantago Mother tincher on the gums and mouth wash with Calendula then it gets cured soon.
 
oldmonk last decade
just do it..asap
 
rishimba last decade
Gums are getting better with calendula mouth wash. Just a lil sensation remaining.

Mean while my nasal problem is getting worse again with approaching winter. Its just abt 20 deg C and i am feeling very cold. Where as it was just the opposite a few years back. Now it seems i need warm drinks and be in warmth of sunlight. Movement opens the nose block a lil. Sitting or esp lying down makes it worse. Cold in any form makes things worse. Day time is slightly better but night and early morning it gets worse. Skin is getting very dry. Getting a lil cough also these days. Its been over a month, i am suffering with this problem. Plz advise.
 
oldmonk last decade
did you feel any changes after taking lycopodium.

when did you take the last dose of the remedy.
 
rishimba last decade
I took the last dose on 20th Nov morning. Cant make out much but may be the abdominal bloating is a lil less (but it is still there). But feeling much more cold and need warmth in all forms. Lot of mucus building up in the nose and keeps it blocked all the time. Other related symptoms mentioned in earlier post.
 
oldmonk last decade
Esp. feel cold in feet.
 
oldmonk last decade
please take PHOSPHORUS 30C some 3doses every 4 hours in empty stomach.

after about 6 doses, wait and watch the changes.
 
rishimba last decade
you wrote 3 doses every 4 hrs but total 6 doses !

You wrote both 3 doses and 6 doses so its not very clear. Plz explain.
 
oldmonk last decade
please take 6 doses in all.

take the doses every 4 hours.
 
rishimba last decade
I have finished taking Phosphorus 30 6 doses this morning.
I am also applying Plantago tincher in my gums.
When should i report next ?
 
oldmonk last decade
please watch your status for a week and come back after 7 days.
 
rishimba last decade
Its been a few days since i last had Phosphorus.
I am not very sure abt my abdominal condition. Seems bloating is a lil better but not fully cured. But this change always occurs when i hav Lyco but the problem grows back after some time. What is bothering me much more is the Nasal Problem for which i had started this thread. Its been abt 30 - 40 days and my Nasal problem is as it is. Its been over a month i cant breath and cant sleep properly. Things get worse in cold. and esp at night. or early morning or when i wake up.
there is lot of mucus being produced and that blocks the nasal passage. Anyway my nasal passage is very narrow. And may be there is allergy to pollution and bcoz of that the inner linings swell up, making it more narrow. Plz help me, i dont wish to take allopathic medicines but i am not able to get any help with homeopathy also. Kindly go through the entire thread and decide what medicine i must have. Plz help, i am in a lot of discomfort. Even during the day i feel that i am breath through a narrow passage. The breathing has to be forced through the narrow passage but as soon as i lie down in bed it gets TOTALLY BLOCKED. Plz help.
 
oldmonk last decade
please try MAG MUR 30C every 4 hours for 2 days..

this is based on your symptom modalities.

if it helps, you can continue it 2 times a day for some more days.
 
rishimba last decade
I am sorry but i took Mag Mur 30 and Nat Mur 30 alternate twice a day. But it didnt help much. First day it seemed that it was working but last evening i walked for long in very dusty and polluted environment and at night it was worse. Could not sleep the entire night. Since morning, feeling a lil breathless with dry and tickling cough esp in the upper chest. Nose block prob is there since last 50 days or more and it has not improved much since what it was earlier. Lycopodium had helped a lil with my abdominal problem and Nat Mur seemed to be helping on the first day but since last night its horrible again. Its 2 in the afternoon and the nose is still blocked. As i mentioned earlier, I have a family history of asthma so i am even more afraid that these might be the first signs of that disease coming up. Plz help, i am loosing hope.
 
oldmonk last decade
Anti allergic (cetzine etc), nasal drops and warm saline nasal irrigation are the only things till now that have been able to help me a lil. But i dont wish to use allopathic medicines, so i am not having the medicines as much as possible.
