Hello I am new to this forum. I have a question for Dr M. I have high histiDine blood levels per a Metamatrix Cardio Ion Panel. I just received test results from a Neuroscience Neurotransmitter urine test and the histaMine level is elevated as well as all my neurotransmitters. I had been on cortisol foe a year and weaned off and my cortisol morning saliva is medium range, afternoon is high, evening is high and night is normal. I take 1 grain of Naturethyroid and 2 pumps daily of estrogel with 0.1ml estriol. Ten years ago I became allergic to all nuts and nut oils. Last year I had an allergic reaction to pineapple and now have to carry an Epi-pen.
I am in almost constant anxiety. I have been having ocular migraines, crying when I can’t handle stress, depression, feel like I am barley holding it together. My doctor wants me to take either Lexapro or Zoloft. I was on zoloft last yeAr and it did nothing for me. This has been going on for almost two years. Cortisol dud nothing for the anxiety
My question is when you say “antihistamine” are you referring to Benadryl type products? I have read that using 500mg 2xs daily of methione (sp?- amino acid) helps reduce the histamine. I was also told Quercitin reduces histamines. I do not have seasonal allergies. I just need some direction. Thank you
