Yep, I can take a tab of Provigil and actually fall asleep; have done a few times. Other times, it will work.
I have an Spiriva inhaler, think prescribed because smoke, Astelin nasal spray, and Albuterol puffer thing. I have a lot of postnasal drainage problems and am blowing my nose like mad lately, tho' that's from crying I think. I do always awaken w/ sore throat and clogged-up nose tho'.
I tend to speculate I may be getting a tiny bit of gastro-intestinal upset, likely could be w/ the Deplin, but not sure. I have to take Lactase, a lot of it; even w/ a cookie that butter or grease has been used to make. Then I take dicyclomine for stomach upset.
My rbc count was very low (lose no blood - female reproductive organs gone) alongside the B12 and folate last lab test.
Obviously, I need 'something' to pull me up out of this nose-dive depression .. it's real bad, and no one really knows, because they won't listen to me. I've tried and tried to reach out but no one is listening.
I cannot tolerate ERs because we have like 6hr waits here before you get a bed and then another 2hr wait there. During all that time, I am not allowed a cigarette. Now I know this sounds ridiculous to you all who don't smoke or maybe even some of you who do, but I will literally 'lose total control of my emotions' if I can't have a cig at least every 2 to 2-1/2hrs. Last time I told them of this, they just laughed at me. I was crying and a nurse walked by and said 'She thinks she's special!' This is very true. By the time I saw the doctor, I could only blubber because I'd been crying for hours, and he just sent me home.
If have to go to ER to get care, I just can't get care.
Years ago w/ divorce called pdoc and he arranged immediate admittance. Why does no one do this anymore??????
I'm sorry covered three subjects here, not sure I answered anything or made anything clear, or if I even understand about the histamine thing.(?)
Sounds like I sort of fit that dx though.
I'm awfully damn depressed, but I felt this coming on b4 I started Deplin. It's not pulling me out of it though, if that's what my pdoc thought would happen.
Sorry if response wrong or unclear; I'm unable to focus very well. Tks for trying to help.
