Hi all,
I haven’t posted here before but I’m at my wits end and just wondering if anyone has had any success in managing histamine intolerance alongside hrt.
I’m 52 now, and my 3 day migraines started in my early forties which I now realize was the start of my peri-menopause. I started on oestrogel & ultrogestan age 48, gradually increased to three pumps to control flushes & increasing night sweats and it all ended horribly last September with a week of sickness, diarrhea, a week long headache, involuntary jerks, palpitations etc. I stumbled across histamine overload/ intolerance and thought it could be this.
I’ve since followed a low histamine diet, reduced my oestrogel down to half a pump & that has helped a lot but i only have to try to have a meal out with friends once in a while & I’m back to square one again.
I’ve had a really rough 4 years, lost my husband to a sudden cardiac arrest and then all this and I’m so fed up with it all and trying to work and keep things going at the same time. I know it’s really expensive and that’s what’s been holding me back, but I’m considering trying to book in with Dr Tina Peers or her team, to see if there is a way through this as she’s experienced in HI.
Just wondered if anyone could share their experiences with histamine intolerance & hrt please & anything that has worked 🙏🏻
