I have been on one Zyrtec a day for over a decade for severe allergies, but Dr K. upped me to one morning and night, and added Zantac (morning/night) to rule in our rule out MCAS. But this last week my allergies are getting worse? I have more sneezing fits, bloody mucous, and far more rash and itching than normal. The itching is extremely uncomfortable!
It reminds me of when drs tried putting me on stomach pills before. Nexium, prevacid, prilosec, etc. all quit working and I would get far worse (and then worse again) stomach acid. My stomach kept producing more acid in response to the up in dose of pills. I finally weaned myself off the pills using daily probiotics and baking soda when things would really get bad. Also eliminating wheat which is the only food allergy I have.
I am wondering if histamine can be pushed into overdrive to try to stay in balance?
I'm tired of having fire ants on me!
(I also added Valtrex a month ago, could this be delayed response to that?)
