Have you considered some sort of hypnosis? I am familiar with your story and it does feel like something is "stuck" there.Thank you - yes estrogen is how it all started. i have shared my story on this forum of my pharmaceutical estrogen poisoning from 17 through 29 and this is when the chemical sensitivities set in. I had suffered from severe environmental allergies from the age of 8- probably also stemming from hormones i would now deduce but the chemical issue really does coincide with shortly after the estrogen i was given. What i dont understand is why it persists after all these years. I connected with Dr. Peat at 28/29 and of course immediately stopped all the pharmaceutical hormones. Im 52 now so have been taking progest-e for approaching 25 years. ive been at this a long time, have aged in reverse in many ways, have the hormone profile of a younger woman and other than the chemical sensitivity and allergies am exceedingly healthy. So, I have come to the hypothesis that the estrogen for all those years did something to my body s- like a program it still has not unlearned and i do experience estrogen surge symptoms at times out of nowhere and the sensitivity is at its heights during those times. I just have not figured out how to reverse this program so in a way the antihistamines are Band-Aids in some ways but its so hard to be this sensitive to everything under the sun and live in the world and do what i do which is very much "of the world" so i persist with trying to find an answer. I tried PEA as thought it might address the estrogen program but it did not seem to solve the constant reactions to the slightest minutia of a chemical.`
You are so right about the Band-Aids. They are meant to get someone out of learned helplessness onto better horizons. Have you also checked your PTH? I work in dialysis and patients with the highest PTHs seem to have the worst allergies. That might be a piece of the puzzle, but I certainly assume that you monitor / maintain good vitamin D levels since you are very familiar with Dr. Peat.
How do you feel when you travel or go to remote places? Many people with allergies and sensitivities get almost full relief of their symptoms when away from their environment. That might be another piece of the puzzle.
Stay marvelous.
