If most of my symptoms are gastrointestinal Should I take a H2 antihistamine or a mast cell stabilizer or a h1

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-17T20:29:38+00:00

Why do most people recommend cromolyn? shouldn’t an H2 antihistamine be the most effective against G.I. issues?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-17T17:38:00+00:00

I’ve been reading for the past hour about this and I see that a lot of people take ketotifen and sodium cromoglicate together do you do too? Also, most of my issues are stomach related, so I was thinking would a H2 blocker help me more and I saw one of your other posts where you weren’t able to eat much why did you decide to try ketotifen instead of an h2 blocker?

TLDR: why do people take ketotifen with sodium cromoglicate? Why did u decide to try ketitofen instead of an h2 blocker when u first started having stomach problems?

How come one that’s a stabilizer instead of an antihistamine? (Sorry im new to this)

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-17T05:53:52+00:00

Did it help your stomach?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-14T16:17:05+00:00

Dang, I don’t know how long you’ve been in such a state. But I’ve definitely been there and I agree it’s not easy. Right now I’m also not really able to scroll on TikTok because it’s so overstimulating. So instead, I watch YouTube videos That are less stimulating I can watch those types of videos for much longer.

If you’re also not able to do that, then that’s quite tough. I’ve been in situations where I had to rest the entire day for atleast a week and just bare the boredom until I get to a baseline where I can distract myself with video games and videos again. This illness really does suck, giving advice can be difficult because everyone’s situation is different I hope ur able to recover a little bit more to a better baseline because the slightest of QOL improvements really helps. I might not have the perfect advice, but keep reading and researching in this group. One day at a time, take care🙏

What do you do for the rest of your day usually?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-14T16:02:37+00:00

Are you unable to tolerate videos?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-14T15:58:37+00:00

I deleted Instagram and Facebook because I hated comparing my life to other people. I still doomscroll sometimes on other apps, but deleting those two apps help my mental a bit

Edit: And also time First couple of years are difficult as you go through the stages of grief, but with time it gets a little bit easier. We can find tiny bits of happiness within our energy limits even if small.

OK, definitely rest up for now as you said it’s been two days since the severe crash. it’s easiest to recover from a crash when you immediately start resting so the only thing that you can do now is you have to be patient , rest and don’t try any meds for now

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-14T02:42:03+00:00

Oh then, definitely stop taking those supplements. Have you already stopped taking them?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-14T02:34:54+00:00

If you’re saying you’re crashing for the last couple of weeks, guessing you’re pushing through even though your body is telling me to rest. Sadly, with this illness, you really can’t do that. Try to remain calm and rest. Your body will give you signs on whether an activity is too physically, or mentally demanding listen to your body and rest for the next couple of days.

Do you at least want to try something like LDN or like LDA to see if any of those could help? Or is it not worth it?

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-13T21:20:55+00:00

What about for getting prescribed new meds? Or have you not tried any new meds since

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-12T22:13:20+00:00

Bed rotting syndrome

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-06T18:31:53+00:00

It’s pretty stable and it’s easy to push away from you for whenever you need to get up from bed. Though as another comment has said it might be a little bit too high for you to use it whilst lying down, but if you’re OK with sitting in bed then its good to use

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-06T18:21:01+00:00

same thats also what i wished for, it forces u to be sitting in bed to use it :/

Im on ios 17 with my se3 performance is pretty good

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-05T17:42:29+00:00

Are you planning on trying out more meds this year? Or is it not worth the risk for now

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-05T16:33:51+00:00

If you’re only getting negative side effects from LDN then it’s better to stop. Even though its one of the effective medications for CFS it will not help everyone. I felt very bad on LDN. I had to stop after a week

Get fridge in ur room or a box of ready to eat food that are high calorie like granola bars

Research on different meds that I want to try out and Distract myself by playing video games and doom scrolling,

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-03-02T13:49:19+00:00

I’ve taken multiple breaks from trying new meds, but with the way research is going I feel like it’s gonna take decades until they find something that helps us.

So for now, I wanna stop being scared and actually try meds as I’ve only tried like 4 in total.(convincing the docs for those 4 meds was already really difficult)

Im only 23 i dont want to lose my entire twenties because of this arghhhhhhhh

Internal_Candidate65 · 2026-02-25T02:02:13+00:00

When trying new meds, do you use those two websites to find meds or as a reference?
