Q: Please Help

My husband for the past eight years every morning when he wakes up for 15/20 minutes constantly sneezes and blowes his nose. Then for the rest of the day he is fine. He has been to see the doctors but all they do is prescribe various hayfever tablets - the most recent one being neoclarytin, which do not really help. This has been going on for eight years and he is now really fed up as it tires him out first thing in the morning.
Can anyone please help and tell us why this is happening and if there is anything we can try to do or take to get it sorted.

Thank you
farah

Allergic Rhinitis & Homeopathy
Sneezings on waking, nasal discharge and blocking are usually symptoms of allergic rhinitis. It could be aggravataed due any allergens like dust, smoke, cold or any allergen specific to the patient.

The same can be confirmed by doing some pathological investigations.


Homoeopathy has a definete remedy to alleviate the bout of sneezings and to see that the nasal mucosa does not get irritated at trifle allergens.

I agree look into homeopathy or naturopathy.

The first thing I thought of though was, did anything change about 8 years ago - like a new bed (different filling that he may be allergic to), a new pillow, new carpet or a new indoor plant or a new plant outside an open window (this may even be in your neighbours yard!!), some new night cream you use or someone else in the house uses at night when near him. Any of these things could be the cause & could perhaps be remedied.

Another suggestion would be an air purifier or air humidifier in the room at night. Has he tried sleeping in another room??

Identifying and avoiding an allergen would definetely help in relieving the symptoms as long as it is done. But the advantage with homeopathy would be that inspite of exposure to the allergen there would not be any rhinitis.

Thank you so much for your replies. Laughing
at first I thought it was something I was using but we have only been married 2 years and my husband said he had the problem way before he met me. Yes he has tried another room but again wakes up exactly the same.
Can anyone please recommend a homoeopathic clinic in london also what is it they would do/give to resolve the problem and how long would it take?

Thank you so much.

I can't recommend one but if you went to a search engine (eg yahoo or google) & typed in the question; homeopthic clinics in london or london homeopaths - you should find something or look in the business pages of the phone book. But check out what registration & education they have & what is required in the uk first!!

Hey Farah
Hey farah I just wanted to say that I have this same exact problem, its really aggravating and it happens to me occasionally. Usually something triggers my sneezes, either if I wake up in a dusty room or even if I accidentally rub my nose, i'll sneeze constantly for 15- 20 mins, its very annoying and a few times i've strained my back from the 200 mph sneezes. Please if you have any suggestions let me know, ive taken allergy medication before I go to bed and sometimes I luck out in the morning, but other times I dont.
thanks

Some Remedies?
it's possible he has a strong allergy to dust mites which love to live in beds. Obviously it's not chemicals or detergent or anything because he would have those symptoms at other times of the day. Try looking at the bed encasings and allergy free bedding. They also have stuff to use in the washer to get rid of dust mites. Also, try getting an air filter for the room. This will help circulate the air and remove any allergens.

This would be a much better option than continuely trying to change medicines and even go on allergy shots. I know all about that.. I get them each week.

Morning Sneezing Etc
Hi all!

For those of you that are having issues with dust mites and dust and household air in general, I may have a helpful solution for you!

Just by changing the normal grocery store brand household products that most people use, because they "kill" bacteria, you may want to consider more effective, non toxic and non caustic products (that are actually cheaper!) look at these statistics...They are quite alarming!!


A. An epa survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air.


B. Another epa study stated that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.


C. Cmhc reports that houses today are so energy efficient that "out-gassing" of chemicals has no where to go, so it builds up inside the home.


D. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and 65% of that time at home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90% of their time in the home.


E. National cancer association released results of a 15-year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home.


L. Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The canadian lung association and the asthma society of canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers.


S. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, alzheimer's, parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical exposure.


T. Pesticides only have to include active ingredients on the labels, even though the inert (inactive) ingredients may account for 99%, many of which are toxic and poisons.

At the other ned of the spectrum, it is important to improve your immune system and you can help do this by taking a qualtiy supplement tat your body can actually absorb.


There are solutions, alternatives and ways that we can make a difference and enhance our health and wellness.

you do have choices!
