Your symptoms sound very similar to mine… You may want to look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. This link is to a guide for any doctor to begin the diagnostic process…it may also be good to have all your vitamin levels checked. It is also very common to have a gene mutation that impact absorption of vitamins…but easily treated…ask for a MTFHR gene test.

As for itch, which is a super common symptom of so many medical problems…I take an otc supplement, Beta Alanine, 750 mg kills the itch for me…someone on a Facebook group for itch related issues discovered it…it is typically a preworkout supplement but at a higher dose…I buy the NOW brand on Amazon.

Is the Beta Alinine a powder? If so how do you measure 750 mg? Thanks for your suggestion. I'll try anything for my eczema at this point.

Keep in mind that true MCAS is similar but different than what we as Long Haulers experience. It basically takes a bone marrow test to diagnose true MCAS. My labs were all normal but my allergist pegged it for me. Histamine Intolerance with Mast Cell involvement. Walking into a doctors office with an internet diagnosis in hand can backfire the Physician Ego. My Allergist is an exception to that rule thank goodness.
