does this sound like a histamine intolerance?

hi everyone! just looking to see if this sounds like a histamine intolerance to anyone. i’ve been having what i believe to be pre menstrual dysphoric disorder for years. my symptoms followed the typical pattern for PMDD, they’d start in ovulation and then peak during luteal, then go away after my period was over. but then gradually they started popping up after my period, when i should be in my follicular phase. i haven’t noticed specific foods triggering anything, but i have noticed that stress, the weather, and temperature impact it. stress impacts it A LOT. here is my list of “PMDD symptoms” i experience. i recently got a standard blood panel done, and everything seemed normal aside from my iron potentially being low. i take a powdered multi vitamin, powdered iron w vitamin c, an anti histamine, and generic pepcid. i use CBD as well. my diet isn’t great (i have ARFID).
today my anxiety / stress has been REALLY bad because of some family stuff going on and i’ve noticed my symptoms are much worse today than they have been in a long time.
SYMPTOMS:
-itchy skin
-headaches
-hot flashes
-NAUSEA.
-dizziness
-constipation
-back pain
-cold symptoms (runny nose, sore throat, sometimes a cough)
-tightness / feeling of fullness in my throat
- chest tightness
- air hunger
-pain in my joints
-chest pain
-bloating
-brain fog
- swollen and sore feet
-itchy, watery eyes
-body aches
- chills
-heart palpitations / racing heart
- severe anxiety
-mood swings

think i fucked up

hi yall! i’ve been stretching my ears for a few years now. going really slowly, and i’m at 11 mm. usually i wash them in the shower with dial gold or my face wash, pat dry, then put my face moisturizer on them, let that dry, then put my tunnels back in. well last night i used a different lotion on my face than usual, and i looked at it after i had already applied it to my face and lobes. it’s got urea in it, which is a micro exfoliant. it truly is the only thing i’ve done differently, and i noticed today after i took my jewelry out to shower that they were irritated, red, and raw. i washed them, then put just standard lotion on them. could the exfoliating ingredients in the lotion have caused this???

hi everyone. i made a post a few days ago about a baby chameleon gecko. he was super skinny, dehydrated, and having problems getting around because of a local reptile store severely neglecting him. this is not a happy update unfortunately. the sweet baby ended up passing away on saturday morning. i believe he was probably sick from the poor conditions he was living in, and was just too far gone to survive.
i appreciate everyone who gave me advice and gave him love.
i called the reptile store i got him from and asked lots of questions, with no answers. i ended up getting a refund, but i would rather have my sweet boy. when i showed proof of them neglecting him, they folded and didn’t have anything to say to defend themselves.
my boyfriend ended up finding a 10 month old eury boy on morph market, and offered to get him for me so we can raise him in our previous baby’s honor.

hi everyone! i got a baby viellardi on Tuesday. the reptile store gave me no info on him. i asked how old he was, and was told he was a few months old. took him out of the small enclosure they had for him to realize he is actually only a few WEEKS old. he isn’t wild caught, the reptile store has a breeding pair. i called the store back and asked if he was still okay to put in a 12x12x12 (they recommended this size until he was bigger) and they said yes, to put him on eco earth in the new enclosure.
i set everything up, misted, mixed up some apricot pangea, and put him in his new home. i watched him eat, he ate some off my finger, and he was all set.
i included the set up at the end, i was still waiting on some things when everything happened. he had UVB, humidity was 83%, temp was 73-75° F and 80° at the highest point right under the UVB.
he seemed happy! he was moving around, coming right into my hands, eating, drinking water, everything! i did definitely notice that he was VERY skinny, i can see his little hip bones, and seemed to be licking water off of EVERYTHING, he was obviously very very thirsty.
the next morning i woke up for work and he was sitting on the floor of his enclosure in the eco earth, i got closer and raised he had a MOUTH FULL OF ECO EARTH. i freaked out, and immediately took him out, and took the cotton off a qtip and used the plastic to try and get as much as i could out of his mouth. i got as much as i could out, then set up a temporary enclosure in the container the reptile store gave him to me in with paper towels, some branches, a piece of cork bark, some pangea, and i misted everything.
he definitely looks less dehydrated. but i’m not sure he’s eating? i try and give him little drops of his food off of a pipette and he doesn’t take it, so im not sure if he’s eating when im not around.
i also haven’t seen any poop in the temp enclosure, and i’m not sure if maybe he has a blockage from swallowing the eco earth, or he’s sick from the reptile store neglecting him?? it also looks like he’s trying to molt right now, and i’m not sure if that could be impacting that as well.
he has an actual small enclosure coming in the morning, and i think he’ll be less stressed in there.
any and all advice is welcome. i especially want to know how i can help him gain weight!!
first picture is immediately when i got him home, second 2-5 are in his hospital / temp set up featuring him getting angry with me for trying to feed him, but at least i could see he had no dirt in his mouth lol. and the last one is the 12x12x12 i got mostly set up for him.
