hypersensitive to chemicals, cigarette smoke, asking for Telescope's help

I am hypersensitive to cigarette smoke and chemicals in general.
But anyway as I do not smoke but at work people come in with it on clothing or just walking somewhere where people are smoking will cause me to start coughing, chest will get tight... lots of coughing continues for it seems 5 - 8 minutes and have to get away from the smell trying to talk will make the coughing worse... I will usually have a headache, my eyes will burn and be red... sore throat, lots of sinus drainage, sore throat, ears will begin hurting. sometimes next day I will fill sick , kinda like I have the flu.

Is there something I can do???
Please would like to ask for Telescope

15 Describe yourself as a person.
I like myself but not my body right now. I am usually easy to get along with. Try to be a good helper to others needs to make them have it better or nicer. I can be walked upon and usually will back down if confronted or cornered.



16 Opinion of other people close to you about yourself (extremely helpful to the doctor if provided)
she is nice

17 Family medical history (parents/ grand parents/brothers/sisters)
father- deceased, lung ...25 years ago
mother- deceased, Parkinson's dementia
sister..from a fall off a step stool while painting.. 28 years...has had back surgeries..in lots of pain

18 Treatment taken in the
past.
had a rash all over but turned out to be from new headboard that bed bugs...tried apis and also arnica for carpal tunnel and neck pain
can see in previous about trying different homeopathic for obesity and the pain

19 present medication if any

no other drugs taken

in past few months I have tried 200c sulfur for scalp severe itching and burning after sweating...scalp seems to less be sensitive but have had eruptions of itching at back of neck on left side only..also my face had broken out constantly on chin and under right eye...I am pretty sure that my face is breaking out with pimples and even whiteheads and other reddish bumps that will come to a head then pop, I noticed this outbreak on my face just in last few months...probably because of the sulfur...
after I started taking the sulfur ...3 tablets..one morning, night and the next morning... to April 30...but previously was March 15 and Feb 13...
also take histiminium 30C...3 tablets in wet dose...take teaspoon twice a day for the stuffiness and other allergy type symptoms for sinus and ear fluids and paid
Cells salts #4, 9, and 11 I take occasionally to help with sinus draingage or pain in ears.

For earache will use tea tree oil, lavendar essential oil and coconut oil rubbed around and never inside one ear for the pain. Usually inn less than 5 min the pain is gone.

Other comment: I think homeopathic is the way to help but I do not understand the correct way to take and hoping you can help me move past this onto happier days.

20. any other information you would like to provide.

The cigarette sensitivity is the worst today because of being around it several times in last few days. I am not happy with my weight gain..largest I have ever been. All my siblings and my parents were obese...I used to be "the smallest" but not any more.

sour things like citrus fruits, tomato, vinegar , pickles. one dose will be 4 or 5 globules dissolved in half a cup of mineral water. you will be needing 2 or 3 doses only, so buy the minimum quantity available.
 
telescope 8 years ago
Please further describe for me the following:

After the 4 or 5 globules are dissolved in 1/2 cup mineral water. How do you take the water? Is it sipped, drank all at once.
 
evefriday 8 years ago
does not matter much how you take it. both are correct.

Hi,
I took dose last Thursday afternoon.
On Saturday evening about 7:45 pm, I had strange sharp pain...my lower left back and only one side...like a muscle spasm... it was sudden pain..felt clammy..nausea..light headed. felt as if was going to have diarrhea..This lasted for about 30 minutes... then I was fine..

It came back last night about 7:45 pm. Same quick onset but this time lasted till around 3:30 am.
I was really in pain, threw up, mostly bile type liquids...pain mostly in left back area and some lower stomach. I never had diarrhea but felt if I had it would have helped me. I threw up or gagged at least every 20 minutes. the pain on the left lower back was very intense.

Could this be aggravation?
I haven't been around cigarette smokers since taking.
I have noticed that I seem to be more constipated than before.
Well thanks for listening and look forward to your reply.

it could be . we have to wait and see. how is your incontinence problem?
 
telescope 8 years ago
Telescope,
It does seem to be a somewhat improved.
As I think about it. I seem to have more volume to urinate than I used to... and pads are less wet.
At same time more constipated.???
Should this dose have helped the carpal tunnel pain in wrists? They have more pain but I also have done some gardening...so not really sure if I did not aggravate them with more usage. I used some castor oil on wrist and that helped with the pain.
Also have a nagging sinus headache with right ear ache pain.
Can I take cell salts now again to help with this? It is clear sinus drainage but have avoided taking while on the causticum. I usually take #4 ferrum phos 6x, 9 nat mur 6x, #11 nat sul 6x. 3 tablets one to two time/day

Causticum will act on all your problems. you don't have to take any other medicine.
 
telescope 8 years ago
OK...
How long before I take another dose of causticum?
 
evefriday 8 years ago
Causticum 1m will act for around 30 days. you can have next dose only after 30 days are over.
 
telescope 8 years ago
Thank you..
Good report on an improvement for you.
Since last Thursday taking the remedy. I have noticed my left ankle that has been swollen for months has gone down to the same as the right ankle even with more walking on it... after rereading the symptoms that causticum works on.. it worked on the ankle...yeah...
However, the wrists still hurt... any suggestions that I could do?
Thanks again
 
evefriday 8 years ago
just relax. you dont have to do anything except waiting. a difficult task but necessary. i hope you understand.
 
telescope 8 years ago
Hi,
It has been over 30 days since I took the causticum 1m.
symptoms as of today:
continued hypersensitive to cigarette smoke
stuffy nose
ear ache...mostly right ear
fluid in both ears making harder to hear
no weight loss
incontinence...about 40% improvement
when I begin to sweat..I have severe itching on my scalp and sometimes by back too... this causes difficulty in getting hot and needing to stay in air conditioning ...
right ankle is stiff but less swollen
general aches of body
upper pain on spinal column..at top of thoracic section
restless sleeping
carpal tunnels still not improved

Thanks for looking again at this.

HI,
I have been sick with kidney stones for past 6 days. I went to er after 3 days of pain, throwing up, etc....CT scan shows I have two stones.. 4 and a 5 by 7. On pain medicatio- Narco, nausea - Zofram, and Flomax now...
still have pain... stones seem to be moving down... most of pain in back left kidney area and in the groin sometimes...
I have even taken 2oz of fresh lemon juice and oilive oil for them to dissovle.
ER doctor says that they are moving down and that is reason for severe pain.
Any suggestions for me?

do not worry. Causticum will throw them out. drink more water so that they can be washed out easily. repeat Causticum 1m one dose.
 
telescope 8 years ago
take the causticum now? before I had to wait 30 days... just making sure I understand...
[message edited by evefriday on Sun, 28 Jun 2015 02:06:49 UTC]
 
evefriday 8 years ago
as you had medicine for pain the previous dose is no longer active. you can repeat now.
 
telescope 8 years ago
So does this mean I can not take pain medication if I take the causticum?
the pain is so great that I throw up repeatedly for hours and hours until stopped with pain relief at hospital and since...
I thank you for you help in this.
I want the stones to pass or dissolve ... just be gone but the pain is more than I can handle ?????
I am even nauseous now...pain level is about a 5 after taking the narco (loritab 5mg/325)
it has been many many years since I have taken pain medication... these stones are really painful.

you can take the pain medicine if the pain is unbearable. you can also try homeopathic medicine for pain. gelsemium 30 may be taken every 10 or 15 minutes ( maximum 3 doses) when the pain comes. if it does not work take the regular pain killer.
 
telescope 8 years ago
Thank you will now take causticum. and drinking lots of water -- as the nausea will allow,
will stay away from the lemons and other sour things for a day or two as previously suggested
..what about nausea for homeopathic

Have to get the gelsemium 30 hope will find locally.

I have arnica 30 and arnica 200 if that would help ???
