Interesting that it seems to be allergy related for you Penny. I hope those crackers aren't are great loss not to eat. I would hate to be allergic to Sushi, one of my favourite treats.
I am fairly sure mine is a perimenopausal symptom as it started when I started to have on/off again periods and hot flushes.
Have you tried Vitamin D and Magnesium together?I have this off and on too. I'd had it for many years before I realized it was a "thing" and had a name, and that there might be anything I could do about it.
I think it is related to a vitamin/mineral deficiency of some kind, but I've never been able to pin down exactly what. I eat a lot of iron, zinc, and b-vitamin rich foods when it happens and it tends to go away. I take supplements of B12, folate, and the other B vitamins, and a little zinc, but the supplements alone are never enough to keep it at bay completely. ...Which makes me think it might be iron-related for me.
