Greetings,

For the past 10 days I have been having lot of trouble,
running nose, sneezing all the time, cough
Since 2 dyas its become worse
running nose, discharge is not watery, but not too thick, clear, not yellowish

Sneezing continues all the time.

Cough , hurts in the chest, not dry

Having head ache in the back and sever low back pain.
Urine is yellowish. Stools normal, once a day.

I really dont know if it is my allergies, cold or haey feaver.

I have been having allergies all the time, through out the year for the past 12 yrs.

NUX (30 and 1M later) used to controle my allergies, but nevr cured. For now I take NUX 30 every day to control my sneezing.

I have started taking Vit C 500mg, and garlic pill for the past one week, no change in my condation.

I am 37yrs old, 5.6" tall, 150 punds.
I will be fine in dry places, but I like to stay in NY, (look at the people how they responded to the recent tragedies, Grrreat!), I love East Cost.
so no question of moving to another place.

I take 2 small cups of coffee a day, vegetarian, no eggs, no alcohol. Never had any serious health problems, except duodenal ulcers, 3 yrs back, took some anti biotic, end of story. Once in a while spicy oily food bothers me, not very serious.

I like cold weather, like to drink cold water, but my body seems to be on warmer side.

Start sneezing as soon as I get up from bed. Some times nose gets blocked.

If things go totally out of control, I take Allegra or Flonase nasal drops. I haven't touched them since 4 months.

I have also tried Nat.more 1M, it seems to control but never got rid of it.

My temper, every body says that I have lot of patience when comes kids (I have 3 boys),
I will get very upset if things are not done properly, but never shout/scream on others, except my dear Wife, It takes a while for me to scream at her, I'll be noraml whih in a short time, and never out of control. Suppressed aner?, never lost temper at work.

I toletae pain to a more than normal level.
I hope I have given enough info.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Dear BN,

What do you mean when you say "I get upset if things are not done properly?" How do you want them done?
What is most important to you in life?
What do you enjoy doing?
Do you worry about anything?
What taste in food do you like, and dislike?

I think with these questions answered, there will be a good remedy for you!

Warm regards,
doctorleela

Dear Drleela,

I like the things to be done right way, for example if I am using the vaccume cleaner to clean the living room, here is how I do it

Move the couch (sofa) (every furniture) aside, vaccume the place under neath and behind it

Remove all the pillows on the couch and vaccume.
Not as much as you can reach, but reach every thing .

If I see a greasy vessel in the kitchen, I don't mind taking a layer but I'll make sure that there is no single spot. I don't look at the time taken.

What I like, I like my work as a computer professional,
I like to spend time with my family
I like to watch movies which doesn't have too much of violence or hurt my feelings.
I am emotional.

I like tasty food not very spicy, I like sweets, but I cut down a lot on them. If my wife doesn't cook well, I eat but make it a point to tell her gently, but if it repeats 3 or 4 times a week, I'll raise my voice a little bit. If the food is tasty, you can make it out in my eating, (I am not a gluten)

I think a lot about every thing (being Virgo), but it doesn't hurt me. One example,
I study a lot about my subject (computer databases),my co-workers and my boss say that I am one of the best, but I feel, after reading so much, there are lot of things I don't know, and go after them.
I am more worried/concerned about the things I don't know, than the things I know.

Regarding worries, nothing great. I always feel that I am clean inside, ofcourse out side too.

If I have to fix some thing, I have worked nonstop 48 hrs at office, If I don't have much work, ready to go home at 3:30 PM.

I hope I have answered all your questions.

What are you like first thing in the morning? Do you have a time of day when you could just flake out and nap for 1/2 hour? Ther is a remedy similar to Nux which may suit!!
BTW for how long have you been taking a daily Nux as you may be "proving" the remedy which means that you may be having the symptoms of the remedy ingrained into you!! .

Greetings,

cib, I am not cleanlyness crazy, I was giving an example to stress that I am very particulay about doing things.
In fact I went back and forth a couple of times just to make sure that I have answered every question.
I doo care about cleanly ness.

Rick, As soon as I get up from my bed with in a few minutes I start sneezing for some time and then settle down, then running nose.
I can see that the sneezing is there most of the day on and off, with running nose.
Some days are worse with more sneezing, stuffy nose, breathing through mouth, running nose and head ache to spoil my work.

I felt the same with respect to nux, that I am taking too much of it, and I tried Natr.more, it also gave me a releaf.

drleela, I feel a lot for people in pain and suffering abd try to help them. So far I always tried to help people. If some body is in pain or suffering, I will try to be with them helping , consloling some times helping them monitorilly.

Regaring movies, I like action but not too much violence. I watch old indian movies, mythalogical moivies, and new classical music based movies. I like karnatic classical music, indian/american country songs, Kenny G music.

I am very religious in nature, and I speand atlease a few minutes every day for praying.

Being a brahmin I follow my rituals very religiously.

I hope I have answered all the questions.

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Dear BN,

you have told us much about yourself, but nothing about your life. Can you describe your childhood, your parents, your family, your school years, any major emotional traumas you have had, your fears, things you cannot cope with or avoid in your life.

If you are using nux-v everyday to "control" your hayfever, then you are probably suppressing the illness, and that can have dire consequences. It would be better to stop the nux-v altogether so we can get a clearer picture of the symptoms.

There are some indications for a Ferrum series remedy - Control, perfectionism, tidiness.

Rick,

I generally don't like to nap not even on weekends, unless I am tired or ate too much.

NUX, I have been taking for almost 3 months, gave small gaps in between.

I start my day around 6:30 am, go to work at 8 am, by then my sneezing would have started.
You don't beleave I tried varities of tissue holders in my car for easy accessability.

Dear David,

My childhood, According to my parents and relatives, by the time I reached 1 year I was talking fluently and walking normally. I was an early starter. My father used to work in agricultual division of a bank, so most of my child hood was in villages and small towns of Southern India.
I was above average student, teachers used to like me, above avearage because, I knew most of the questions, but If I go to exam I used to forget. I think I still have this problem. If it is not an exam I can solve most complicated problems, exams my brain is under lot of pressure.
I have a very good memory. I can't say that it is stress, my job is stressful, I support production 24x7 databases, I am very quick in finding, analyzing and fixing the problems at work, even when 4 or 5 people including my boss is peaking over my shoulder. Examination is only the problem.

My parents are educated and very gentle, GOD bless them.
Regarding stress, yes I along with my family members went through lot of stress. My uncle who is a very efficent and successful docor took to drugs during his medical college days, my parents noticed it after a very very long time, it was too late by then. He got married to another dr, very nice and kind lady, my uncles drugs reached its peeks, each day his behaviour was different, violent, we as kids saw this for alnmost 3 yrs. I did very well in 12the grade, took 88% and went into engineering.

I used to play cricket and ball badminton very well, used to run 15 kms a day during my school days. Stopped all the sports during engineering days.

My father's health wasn't that good, being eldest son I wanted to support may family ASAP.

Thnkas to Ameria, GOD Bless America,after coming here, I fulfilled my mothers only desire of owning/living in her dream house.

I hope I have answered all your questions.

Dear BN,

Thank you for your answers. YOur remedy is geting much clearer. If you could answer David K's questions too, I'm sure we should have a remedy for you soon.

I have one more question:
What keeps you religiously strong, and what are your reasons for maintaining your daily prayer rituals?

I know you have answered this partially, but I would like to understand a little more deeply. Probably answering David's questions may bring part of this answer out.

Warm regards,
doctorleela
