People are allergic to me too

[ifeeldoomed]

I had read that someone had a similar problem to mine. Within a few minutes of entering a room, people begin coughing and/or sneezing.(By the way, it's always 2 coughs in a row.) I am not sick at all but everyone around me becomes sick upon meeting me. Doctors have told me that it's just allergy season, but this has been going on for a couple years! Besides the endless coughing and sneezing, other symptoms that people develop include: itching around the eyes and nose, acne (on face and neck), sores on the outer lips, and fatigue. I feel alone and am making myself an outcast from society.  This feels like an airborn virus but besides the dermatological aspect, I do not feel sick at all. I wish someone could help me. Any suggestions would help.

Hello guys,

I am also having a similar symptom where my colleagues will cough at least once in two minutes when I entered the office. Some will not cough at first and takes some time before they do. This also happens anywhere the room is enclosed such as a seminar room or halls. Some people might suggest that may have been a prank, but who plays prank for 2 years plus. Anyway, when I silently holds my breath, it seems the coughing stops for while, as if I am breathing out irritants into the air.

It all started with a simple normal cough around January 2014 and as usual I just went to the clinic and receive the normal medication such as antibiotics and expectorant. However the cough continued, I kept going to the clinics until they provided higher and higher doses of antibiotics (such as Curam625 mg and once, 1 gram antibiotic). After 4 months taking the medications, it seems the cough wears off, but I notice that anyone talking with me will cough. I did an X ray and there were white spots detected. Its probably due to my smoking habits, the doctor said. About three months later, I stopped smoking at all and hoped that it will remove any kind of infection. Somehow the "other people coughing" continues.

In the morning I also will need to spit out thick phlegms which is yellowish or brownish at times. Occasionally I can see blood in the phlegm. The longer I waited and holding the sputum inside, the thicker and darker the colour it wiil be. At times, it was so thick I had to use a nebulizer with salt water to push them out. Even saline solution has no effect cause its so thick.


I pity my officemates who,out of 20;
2-4 will cough badly, I mean really bad like they are trying vomit out their internal organs or something

3-5 will cough like a normal cough

3-4 will seem to try clear their throat every minute and then

I have met with a number of respiratory expert who dismiss my case such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, acid reflux, post-nasal drip, and one even referred me to a psychiatrist listening to my story. I have been given/taken:

1)budenide
2)symbicort
3)avamyst
4)relvar
5)cetirizine
6)ranitidine
7)pantoprazole
8)berodual
All with no affects.

I have done some procedures such as Bronchoscopy,ENT scope, Gastrosopy, spirometry and further tests such as Tuberculosis, H pylori, NTM, Fungal, hepatitis, HIV, all turned out negative. Doctors say I looked too healthy to be infected and shows no common symptoms of being affected by viral, bacterial or fungal infection. If I am having any kind of infection, I should be having loss of appetite, lots of fever, and most probably be dead by now since its almost three years since first detected. My x ray and ct scan also shows nothing significant except for a really small granular in the chest, and gastroscopy shows that I am having a minor hernia which is probably the cause of the sputum build up. Finally an expert gives me a clean bill of health stating I am as healthy as an ox. Its hard to prove to the experts that I am causing other people to cough since the experts are not affected or coughing during the appointment.

The sad thing is that, although my family, my friends, my coworkers are coughing badly, somehow I am not coughing or rarely does so. Except for the continuous build up of phlegm and sputum in the throat, I rarely cough as badly as others nearby myself.

I am starting to doubt my own insanity, and its really hard especially when seeing your colleagues and family members coughing when I am nearby them. I too have been distancing myself from social life and sleeps in different room from the wife and kids.

I am hoping that someone can tell me why this happened and how to cure it. If this happens for a another couple of years, I am starting to consider suicide as the last option.Hopefully this long note will serve as a guidance for anyone else encountering the same symptoms.

I having the same experience. What if what we perceive to be wrong with us or a medical problem actually is a gift. What if we actually have some mental power or ability to affect things around us? If so we should start a group and get to know one another to get to the bottom of this. If we have this affect on people alone imagine what can happen if we pair up together. Just a thought.

[Iamsanti]

Before reading this i was thinking the same thing @giftedones

[Selfmade2016]

It happens around me so often... first I started complaining... because I am a singer.. Then my ex thought I was making things up until he shadow me for a day... Just happen three times today and so I decided to look on the internet and see if it was happening to anyone else.... And Lordy behold

[ikim734]

I'm very interested in your story.  Sounds like part of my story.  I only live with one person, who does not complain or flat out says I'm crazy.  When I ask my mom (who lives elsewhere, and coughs when I am near, if I activate her allergies).  She just says no, but covers her nose when I'm near.  So I must smell.  Ugh.  So i shower a lot, but it does not seem to matter.  Reading this makes me feel less alone.  I never though I would be suicidal, but once you lived a normal life and then you don't feel comfortable being around people.....  its hard.  

[Chrissy2234]

This is very hard and I too deal with all of the same symptoms as you guys. It makes me feel very alone but at the end of the day, the world is better with us in it. You mean a lot to the people around you. I have been working with a nutritionist who prescribed a cleansing tea and I am also eating more vegetables. I still deal with the symptoms and people coughing/sneezing around me but I am hopeful that it will go away. I think I developed it from years of poor diet and stress. Good luck to us all:)

[Helplease333]

I experienced the same thing. I'm scared that this will be the fate of me. I have so many goals and dreams and I feel depression from this creeping up on me. I wish there was help

[Nusmind]

ifeeldoomed correctly noticed that people yawn.

[smartpeople]

Saw that to

[Nusmind]

The most interesting thing is that people can cough when you talk to them on the phone. And even those who are close to the person on the other side of the connection.

[smartpeople]

I think I was crazy when I start noticing it affecting people via the phone. It is as if it search out its victims as it use your body as the host.

I am 28 and having this problem for about 8 years now. I notice a few other symtoms,  it drain the energy of people around you make them sleepy.

It also gets more intence a day or so after ejaculation. It seem to operate as a two part entity as its attacking others as I know when its attacking others even before they start showing symtoms as it itch me a bit.

I think its ether a paracite or a demon or both. I notice as well it affect different people in different ways. My nephew will have pain in knees at nights but it seems to stop or reduce when I apply warm water from boiled garlic.

I would advise you guys to attamp some paracitic detox as I feel like a worm come up from my stomach at times to feed.

Please give your views and Ill give links to colon and paracitic detox websites.

In Russia, too, there are people around which the surrounding people cough, sneeze, itch, sick. Doctors dismiss such "sick" and referred to a psychiatrist. In the Ukraine even made a TV show about one such woman. Then the show was organized medical check-up for her. A medical examination revealed nothing, she was sent to a psychiatrist, but she refused. I have a similar problem for 6 years. At first I didn't even notice, but then it went rampant around challenge, sneezing and scratching. I was in shock and didn't know what to do. Didn't even know how to explain to the doctors. And they laughed and were sent to a psychiatrist. Then I found in the Internet on Russian forums a lot of people with the same problems. A couple of people seem to have recovered, starting to live a healthy lifestyle. Me yet nothing helped, but I know about how bare to reduce the symptoms. The less I sweat, the better ventilated the room, the others easier. Sorry for my English, my native Russian translated Yandex.ru.

very very same situation, but I am a Asian girl. I learned English try to find a way out from that disease. I have been suffered that for ten years, it's a long time for me. The only thing I can do is try to forget it, believe it will be cured itself someday. I think I could be a actor, because when I hear people who in the same situation I 'll cry. I'm crying right now. Nobody believe me when I told them. They thought I told lie for not go to school. That was a nightmare! If u're still there, we can share our experience。
