What would it look like to have control over your histamine symptoms?
Sometimes you feel disconnected from your body...
- You take a hot bath and your skin is inflamed?
- The leftovers from last night's "safe" dinner caused GI issues?
- Your spouse came home with a scent that gives you a headache?
- Your friend or a family member sent you flowers and you have to throw them away in order to breathe?
- Your dog was groomed and the shampoo is making you itch?
- Your housekeeper used chemicals to clean and you have a headache, your eyes burn and your skin itches?
- You bought a candle you thought was "safe" only to find out it's causing a splitting headache?
- Heat bothers you.
- Cold bothers you.
- You don't know what to eat.
- You get an unexplained sore from your workout clothes.
- You get a headache from working out.
- You have unexplained pain in your joints
- The tears in your eyes are making your skin on your face burn.
- You have unexpected mood swings.
- You experience panic attacks.
- You just want it all to end.
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.
