Help pls re Allergies
Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2002 6:12 pm
Would appreciate some guidance re this case pls.
Hayfever, but said she's not so bad now, is worse in June! Believes it to be a grass allergy (had a patch test at drs & her arm swelled severely) & if she sits on grass gets a red rash. However she also reacts very strongly to cats & to a particular perfume - Dune.
I cant see a clear rx pic & altho i believe tub is supposed to be the main rx for cat & assoc allergies, she doesnt appear to have that many sxs of it so dont know if im justified in giving it (blonde, quite tall & slim, (but brown/green eyes), teenage severe acne, BUT av to cold milk, & not keen on ice cream, no fr of animals, has travelled widely but mainly due to job, has now got a home base which she is happy with.) & when i have given tub in past to similar cases ive not had a result.
Anyone got any suggestions as to what the main rxs would be to consider for cat allergy & perfume?
After repertorisation, as usual, many of the main polychrests are coming up.
Basically, cos i dont have a clear rx pic i dont know how to approach case, partly cos there seem to be so many ways to approach these type of cases i feel a bit confused! eg some info in notes say get them in sep/oct for prophylactic tx, other notes say march. Some say give const (which is ok if you are sure of the rx!) then a nosode, others say vice versa.
I u'stand that psor is a major prophylactic rx but is it too soon to give this rx & wld it help in the short term with her cat/perfume allergy!
The only other physical sx she has is h/a with menses but not every month & gets a sore throat when tired. Not had a h/o of resp ailments, but if gets a cold finds it difficult to get rid of & did get a bad flu a few yrs which has left her a bit wheezy, was given sprays, but doesnt use them as they dont help.
thanx in anticipation.
