Has anyone followed this pattern...or can anyone tell me what my immune system is doing?
I've had ragweed allergies every fall since I was a kid.
Fast fwd 50 years to onset of ME after a viral trigger in 2013.
That fall I noticed...allergies GONE! I've read that's not uncommon.
After 6 years of repairing and rebalancing ragweed allergies came back WITH my improved energy. But they follow an odd pattern now. As allergy season starts, pollens prime me over several days, from mild itching of eyes, roof of the mouth, then to itchy nose and sneezing, to day 4 or 5 of peak allergy symptoms when the symptoms COMPLETELY shut off, and my energy crashes--like a mini version of 2013. When this happens just about all foods (not just high histamine foods) make me itch all over. After a couple days my energy comes back...but WITH the allergy symptoms.
Until allergy season is over my immune just toggles back and forth over that line..."normal" energy + bad allergies for a few days...crashed energy, allergy gone or much reduced for a few days...
I assembled a warchest last year of Zn, Mg, Quercetin, & Theanine, and taken altogether they tanked my blood pressure, esp. my diastolic.
What is my immune system doing? Thanks very much for your thoughts!
