Hi Jimmyboy and Phillipa
Thanks for the replies and the welcome. I am in Australia and after lots of research found out I have pyroluria and high histamine which appear to cause the phobia/s.
I am seeing a doc (just been to see him again today). He is an orthomolecular physician.
Apologies if you already know about this stuff but to explain my issues:
Pyroluria is a genetic condition where the individual secretes zinc and vitamin b6 via urine. This is appearing easy to correct for me with huge doses of the correct specific vitamins.
The high histamine seems to be the problem needing the SAMe or methionine to reduce the symptoms which will in turn eventually reduce the phobias.
I just take 1 x 200mg of SAMe at the moment and can seem to tolerate that. This along with another 20 or so vitamins each day.
I do get out with my husband every day it's just going out on my own which seems to be the issue.
I am hoping once the histamine lowers this irrational fear will disappear.
I have noticed some of the fearful symptoms are lessening I am just impatient to be independent.
Thanks again.
