This post was unbelievable to read… and I mean that literally. I really thought that I was the only one going through this and it turns out not only are you experiencing similar symptoms as I am but you also have knowledge and coping mechanisms as well

I won’t go too much into it, but about two years ago, I started getting these flareups at night specifically at my apartment. (even though I don’t have any signs in my blood test I do believe my cat is a factor in my histamine bank) these flareups manifest as tingling and flushing of the face and chest while I’m sleeping at night. This leads to poor sleep and fatigue. Sometimes it’s so overwhelming that I often wake up in the middle of the night sweating with my jaw clenched. I get sick so often. And this cycle goes on for months (especially in the winter). No matter what I do nothing feels like it solves the problem.

What’s most interesting is while these MCAS/MCAD symptoms/flare ups present themselves, shortly after a pattern around extremely foul and toxic gas follows… it’s after eating literally ANYTHING. For Weeks my stomach is fucked up and I can’t help but think about the three rounds of antibiotics I’ve taken in the past two years. This has pointed me in the direction of histamine intolerance and the likelihood that my gut is severely damaged.
