When I hit a plateau, I search for the next step in treatment to improve. So that’s what I have been up to.

My focus and mental clarity are spot on, with the simple stuff, like taking forskolin, and Rutin, along with my antihistamines. However, I have a tendency to keep looking even when things are good, in case I missed something, then when it goes to plateau, I dig for more!

Everywhere I go, I start discussing illness in forums and groups, you get varying levels of acceptance. What I mean by that is, there are patients that accept their illnesses and want to “live with them” for the rest of their lives, and then there’s the patients constantly at “unrest”, basically not comfortable with being sick, that’s me. I’m not comfortable knowing that I have to live like this the rest of my life. I ACCEPT the fact that there is possibility I may have to, but it will never stop me from continuing to fight against it. After all, as the world turns, every day there is new science. Something new coming to the forefront. This is a revolutionary time in science and medicine.

Recently when studying histamine intolerance, I discovered a list of medications and things that can exacerbate histamine intolerance, and then I discovered the caveat. Even with the use of all the antihistamines I was taking and my great success with it, they BLOCK the histamines from attaching to the appropriate receptors so that you do not get symptoms. However, it does not degrade the histamine build up in your body. Which means then the histamines float around and find a new place to attach themselves to, leading to new or different symptoms.

I’m diving into that research as I go, however there had been a turn of events in my life, that turned me to studying MTHFR gene expressions, and how your body can’t methylate if you have certain genetic “SNIPS” as they refer to them. I haven’t done the testing, but I jumped on the bandwagon anyway, starting to treat myself “blindly” as is always my method since I started searching for my own health. I’m treating myself so far with Methyl folate and Vitamin B complex and Glutathione.

In one month, I no longer have to take all the antihistamines. Nothing. I have no pain, no arthritic pain, no fibromyalgia pain, and I am at full brain faculty first thing when I wake up. No longer do I sit with my caffeine for two hours waiting for my brain to clear, I’m crisp as a piece of paper first thing in the morning. I can now eat peanut butter again after 17 years, I’m pretty stoked about that. Now it doesn’t mean that I can’t have overactive histamine responses, I’m actually built to, but my body is now breaking down a great deal of histamine on its own through this methylation journey so that I’m not toxic, but if I overexpose myself, I do find myself reaching for my Cetirizine. So far, it’s only occurred twice, and only one pill for an entire day.

In our region currently, we have high tree pollen concentrations, and the farmers are out spraying, plowing and working the fields. That had put me into a migraine yesterday out of the blue, but I literally overexposed myself to more histamine than my body knew what to do with.
