How I am Living symptom Free for few months now.
Hi,
Just two years ago, I developed this itching pruritis on my body parts. I thought it to be an allergic reaction. Main trigger was sweating, exercising, increased heart beat, Nightmares, spicy food. It is not necessarily a Cholinergic Symptoms but it related to it. I went to this back alley ripperdoc skin specialist, he used to give me intramuscular shot on my deltoid, depomedrol 60ml corticosteroid and it became my weekly thing to get a shot because there was no other way for me to be functional. I fucked up my immune system with the immunosuppressants. But the doctor diagnosis was Eczema. I went to another doctor we did food allergic panel blood test and it came out negative on all food as well. So no proper diagnosis, I started taking prednisolone 5mg almost everyday and it worked like a charm until my body started resisted to it so it no longer worked on me. I started studying the symptoms and possible causes, like how mast cells are shaped and how they react, Immunoglobulin E, FC epsilon receptor I and other things. Then got one of the strongest immunosuppressant shot in the hospital to stabilize my mast cells so they don't granulate and release histamine to sweating easily. Btw at this point my only trigger was sweating. Sweating = itching.
Then I started getting weekly IgE serum test every 2 week. So there was igE threshold, only at specific level it elevates then it causes me allergic reaction. And some food was increasing the IgE levels, So I avoided food that were increasing my igE levels, like soyabean, eggs among other things and igE serum started dropping, and I am fully functional, I can sweat, exercise, get as many nightmares I can, have a bear once a month, I smoke cigarette here and then, no allergies. Only setback is I have to stick to same meals everyday and no outside food and igE serum blood test every 14 days. I am also seeing a really good immunologist and I will be doing skin prick test too. I mean I think i maybe gotten lucky to find a trigger and a cure. And about food, there are influencer like Bryan Johnson who also eat same meals everyday, they strictly stick to their diet so I am not the only one here, I may possible be more healthier avoiding all the unhealthy restaurant and fast food.
