Sometimes you feel disconnected from your body...
- A relaxing hot bath leaves your skin inflamed.
- Leftovers from last night’s “safe” dinner suddenly trigger GI upset.
- Your spouse walks in wearing a scent that brings on a pounding headache.
- A thoughtful gift of flowers has to be thrown away just so you can breathe.
- Even your dog’s shampoo or the cleaning products in your home leave you itchy, teary, or burning.
- You try to light a candle, hoping it’s “safe,” only to end up with a splitting headache.
- Heat bothers you. Cold bothers you. Food feels unpredictable.
- Workout clothes rub the wrong way, your joints ache for no reason, and even exercise can
trigger headaches or unexplained soreness. - Tears sting your skin. Mood swings feel like they come out of nowhere.
- Panic attacks leave you shaken.
- And some days—you just want it all to stop.
However, the symptoms and the fear are real.
I 'm no stranger to the symptoms and triggers of histamine intolerance
I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Urticaria Pigmentosa when I was in my early 30s.
I think I always had symptoms, I just had nothing to connect the dots (no pun intended) when it came to my sudden rash that never went away. When I was diagnosed, little was known about mast cells and the symptoms that would eventually take over my life and cause me to live in fear.
Ultimately, I ended up taking 7 anti-histamines a day and was worried about the long-term effects of over the counter medications. When my allergist retired, I decided to take a different route. I consulted a functional medicine practitioner and discovered my lifestyle was making me sick.
