Hi
I wonder what it is that is making you flair every so often. Have you ever kept a food
diary? It may be worth doing to see if it is caused by eating a particualr food. If you are a
girl then maybe its realted to your monthly cycle.
If I get a huge flair I end up throwing a number of things at it. Antihistamine tablets to
start with, their are two types H1 and H2 and depending on what may of caused it you
could go for one or the other or both. These should be availabe to buy from your
pharmacy, I like clarityn. I have also given white tea (drink) ago and found it to be really
calming. I also increase the amount of water I drink.
To bring down a flush then I find sitting in front of fan good and some peolple beneift
from things like clonidine/moxonidin
Have a look at this link and see if you can identify some triggers:
