What is antihistamine?? Sorry to ask I just want a better quality of life so I am looking at different things xxx
That's actually nothing to do with fibro itself, it's a med to reduce the neurotransmitter histamine in our bodies, esp. for people with
allergies like hayfever. In my case I have no allergies, but the immune system condition MCAS, which has lead to after the jabs now reacting to histamine in foods, although I still have no allergies and no histamine intolerance. I have always had intolerances to a great many foods, which I've been booking as IBS-D since learning of that, my allergist "suspects" it.
@cookiebaker also educated me that antihistamines are often put into
sleep meds, as many of them make drowsy or sleepy. More modern ones ("2nd generation") don't make you as drowsy as the older ones. Since I'm quick to be zombified day and night, even by supps, it was important to find an antihistamine that doesn't make me drowsy, and I was lucky that my allergist had the right instinct, just I had to make sure to take it before bed, rather than in the mornings, and that way it together with all my many sleep supps and the 3rd jab has made my sleep fairly good now. But I actually take it because of my histamine reactions from the jabs, in my case burning sinuses and skin, nausea and a lot more. Mine is one that isn't available in most English speaking countries, rupatadine/Rupafin, a 2nd generation H1-antihistamine.
It doesn't improve my progressively increased fatigue from each jab though.
