This week I’ve spent 2 nights in a tent in north Wales and one night in a tent in Oxfordshire. During one trip, I went head-first on Europe’s fastest zipwire (a mile long, almost shat myself) and on the other I spent 15 hours drinking at a work do in a field. Bearing in mind wind/cold has always been a trigger and I have quite bad hayfever, it was always going to be a risk.
…But apart from the tiniest patch on my neck and teeny tiny parts of my forehead, I’m all clear!
Most of my body is on 3x a day, but my forearms, neck and one shoulder are on 4 and my forehead is on 4 with one round of undiluted cream.
The hardest part now is just keeping a track of all the different timings…
I’ve been sticking to low-histamine foods and I feel so much better for it. I haven’t had tea in over three weeks – I used to drink at least 6 cups a day to keep myself alert, but now I actually feel more energetic and awake.
I feel much more in control now, not like I’m teetering on the edge of a flare anymore, even though some patches have come up in the last couple of days.
Dr Aron is back next week so I’ll send him an update, I imagine he’ll say something about how long I’ve been using the undiluted cream on my forehead, but there’s no point in taking it away too soon and then going back to huge amounts to cope with the full on flare yet again.
Anyway, happy days!
