Has anyone been diagnosed with histamine intolerance and subsequently developed neuropathy?

No. How does one get a histamine tolerance test? That has never even been suggested to me.

So far as I know, there is no test for histamine intolerance. The diagnosis is made by the allergist or immunologist after questioning the patient and putting the patient on a low histamine diet. My symptoms are nasal plus severe itching after eating a high histamine food.

Sorry, I should have also added to my symptoms that, if I eat a high histamine food, I get more knee pain. My knees are more painful after my 2 TKR's than before the surgeries. The first one was done in 2020 and the second one in 2021. Also, I get more neuropathic itch all over my body.
