MCAS / Histamine intolerance / PMDD and Wegovy??
Hello all. I have my first pen sitting in my fridge for ten days now and I am scared to try it. I am first of all scared of needles but I live alone so need to inject myself. Secondly I have been struggling with inflammation - no idea if it is MCAS / Histamine intolerance / PMDD, although strongest money is on MCAS.
My main symptoms could be summed up as chronic, cyclical inflammation, which shows up as hives, rash, itching, joint pain, viral-like feeling of body aches, and allergic reactions to EVERYTHING, while actually not being allergic to anything.. then also episodes of sudden intense depression (with no change to my life, but suddenly unable to cope with what was fine 24 hours before...) and then every skin issue you can name : perioral dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, pompholyx, hives, itching.. Sometimes I can run 10 km and not feel tired after, sometimes I cry when I lift the kettle to make tea. Sometimes I can eat crisps, pizza etc, sometimes my whole body swells if I eat leftovers.
So, last year I lost a bunch of weight (74 kg -> 62 kg) and a lot of my issues disappeared. I put the weight back on and the issues all came back so I know I need to be 62 kg or a bit less to be healthy (I'm 169 cm, F, 41) and free of inflammation issues.
Has anyone else used Wegovy while having the same issues as me? My main worry is my body will interpret it as an allergen and will go anaphylactic. Other than that, I am excited to see what positive changes can happen.
