Speaking of scented candles, I was so sensitive to fragrances, chemicals, everything, it was a nightmare with the coughing. Again, a social problem. Octreotide not only made that so much better so I can go to the movies, church, meetings, etc. like a normal person. It also improved my animal allergies sooo much that I can now pet animals that I love for the first time in my adult life. I was allergic to the entire animal kingdom. Octreotide can suppress some hormones like insulin but also histamines. The first med that has ever given me a beneficial side effect. Octreotide has been life changing for me in a good way!

@californiazebra Do you ever watch podcasts? I've been watching Diary of a CEO. He has some really interesting people on who talk about all kinds of issues...mostly related to health., like my comment about candles.
So you are able to socialize again. That is great! Having you say there is a histamine component makes me a bit nervous. I have dry eye syndrome. My eyes can not get any drier, I'll be blind. Seriously. 😳
