@Allyb510 Not needing any antihistamine is relatively recent, I think. I never bothered w/ DAOsin because it just seemed like another complication, given that I 'm not eating socially, it's just easier to avoid things. I'm now using rutin again. I'd started early on w/ quercetin, but my body prefers rutin. I think quercetin has sulfur properties, which don't work for me.
I might try DAOsin just to put it to bed once and for all, but I will definitely try NeuroProtek. It has both quercetin and rutin I think. Whatever I do, I'll try to change one variable at a time. Ahh, I never considered sulfur. Do you have impaired sulfur metabolism?
My BP drops seem to always be in the evening. Or at least the most noticeable episodes. No fainting, just rapid onset heat, irritability, almost hyperventilating. I've noticed that since I started rutin AM/PM my BP still is low, but I haven't gotten the flushing..
Have you ever investigated your adrenal or pituitary glands?
Re overlapping symptoms, yes, indeed. I came across some EDS info the other dayand I'm now wondering if I'm showing signs of this, too. Recent unexplained pains in my hands, not in the bones or joints, and, suddenly, one little finger is pointing up at the end.
Hmmm, if you feel you might have the symptoms then it would definitely be worth ruling EDS in or out. Is there a specialist in your area who is capable?
I seem to have a range of symptoms that cross diagnoses. And none of them is likely severe enough that a doctor would attend to them.
That's what makes it so difficult. A large number of less severe, but still bothersome, symptoms can add up to a poor quality of life. That's it in a nutshell.
Just as well I'm now able to self-manage.
