Hay fever - histamines
 

This morning I woke up with a lot more pain than usual. Way more than the variation from day to day I'm used to, and so much so that I can clearly feel it underneath the blanket of the Zaldiar I'm taking. (which still works very well BTW).

Today is also the first real spring day, and my hay fever kicks in with a vengeance (sneezing, read eyes, the usual). It makes sense, as our pond is now covered in birch pollen.

I've found a few posts that make it clear there is a relation between PN and histamine in foods, but I wonder if there is a direct relation between a hay fever attack and PN pains?

In the mean time, off to the pharmacy to get some Claritin. :rolleyes:

I have found that my PN is worse during the seasonal allergy times. I would always have some major reactions during certain times of the year and would have to take zyrtec and sudafed to survive.

About 6 months ago I started taking Quercetin w/Bromelain the Doctor's Best brand that I get from iHerb. I have not had any seasonal allergy problems since. Have not had to use any over the counter drugs such as zyrtec etc. since. Also my PN has improved. Don't know the technical relationship, but not complaining ;)

They have also worked great for my wife who also suffers from seasonal allergies.

I take a supplement with Quercitin and Nettles. It is really good.

I'm going to try that, thanks.
