Major Flare again! :(

Ok, I've had histamine issues most of the summer that still haven't gone away. I still have an underlying rash on my arms that some days is worse than others. Thankfully, it doesn't itch. It sometimes feels like a sunburn. Earlier this week, I started with the D and today, it became full blown water D and I was running to the bathroom about 15-20 minutes after every meal or anything I put in my mouth. I haven't eaten anything different than I've been eating over the last 2-3 years and have been incredibly stable. The only thing I can attribute it to is my doctor gave my high dosages of prednisone and once I got that all out of my system, it seemed the diarrhea started (slowly at first, and then today, BAM!)

The only other thing that is different about this summer is I did get a pneumonia shot that laid me out for about 2-3 days. It made me not feel very good and I slept a lot. My doctor told me that was actually a good sign because that meant that it was doing its job. Of course, with my immune system, I had to wonder what I had done to myself.

Anyway, I have been incredibly stable and have no idea what this is about, but know it's every bit as bad as the first time around. Tomorrow morning, I do intend to start taking budesonide again. I did really well with it the first time around and am hoping it will do the trick this time again also. I have to get it under control as my summer is now over and I'm back in school. I can't be running to the bathroom every 15 minutes. I also plan to go back to my very safe foods for awhile and stop all supplements until stuff stops just going through me.

It happens to all of us I guess. Wish it was easier to figure out though.
