The thing about me is, I know I do have MCAS but my doctor looked at me with dead unknowing eyes when I said that earlier this year. I can’t be diagnosed unless he’s on board with the idea and orders the right tests etc. to get the help I need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can’t live with a diet for that, I can’t live with just Allegra and Benadryl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have tried histamine diet things before, it is a struggle and I’d rather do an AIP diet. Do I want to feel better, sure. Can I by eating different? Nope, nothing ever helps by eating in that stressful way. I have a big family. I have to eat leftovers. I actually do like beef and turkey the most, and chicken is OK. I also like Bacon and ham. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We only buy UNCURED bacon, UNCURED Ham, Pastured beef, Organic Chicken (I’d prefer free range)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now turkeys in November, can I get a nice free range turkey. Hardly ever. That is stressful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So anyway, duncey me, I woke feeling whooshy all over on Jun 11th, and the thing is, that is a hard thing to describe. I told the doctor about that when I saw him on Jul 17th. I started amitrip… then, took it until Oct 1, the Oct 2 doctor visit, I was told I could quit. I did tell him then again how I feel Whoosh and used my arms from high to down as I said it. He then wanted me to try Duloxetine, so I said sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thing is I’m taking it for 9 days, but my dumb self realized, I haven’t taken Allegra every day. Very spotty use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So this am I took it with my first use in a long time ago of DOA thing I have used and just quit using for no good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last night I took half a Benadryl before bed. I slept better. Smooth. I love that feeling. All the crawling weirdness dies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At some point I felt it lessen and drip, drip, drip went my sinuses down my throat. It was relief and made sleeping better overall, so tonight I’ll take a full Benadryl pill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So this all is co-morbid with my Fibromyalgia, makes it all worse together. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
