Default Histamines, covid vaccine reactions, and anti-histamines

I had interesting long conversation with the Pharmacist in oncology day unit here and she'd just recently transferred from a very large teaching hospital in the State's capital. So, basically she knew wayyyy more than anyone else in my area about my particular Immunotherapy treatment and how it related/caused the amplification and severity of the recent side effects that I had from my first covid vaccine [AstraZeneca or Vaxzevria as it's now called), especially the unbelievable itching that came on before the increase in neuropathy pain.

Essentially she understood that majority of my more severe side-effects were most probably histamine related and exacerbated by my Immunotherapy. The plan agreed upon by my treating professionals is to now take the antihistamines for some days prior to the second vaccine and then daily afterwards as needed to prevent this happening again.

Crossing fingers.
