Title: histamine blockage?
Post by chrisw on Mar 29^th, 2007, 10:06pm

hi all,
anyone gone through histamine blockage treatment at diamond clinic in chicago? I am currently trying to use rc seeds, but my doc said she might want me to consider going to chicago for this treatment. since i live in NJ, and am a busy mom of three, this would be a big deal for me to do, and something not to do on a whim.
If i cant get this under control somehow, does going there sound like a worthwile treatment?
any advice w ould be great, thanks, and i hope everyone can sleep peacefully.

chrisw

Unsolved does it a lot, with varying degrees of effectiveness.

It's an 11 day inpatient stay each time. That's gonna be hard with little ones at home. :-/

It's not 'histamine blockage' ... it's actually Histamine desensitization therapy.

Some get no relief from it ... however it helps me alot most of the time. I did do it in Chicago several times but I also do it at a local hospital now. Like Nani said, it takes 11 days to complete all the IV bags (21 bags). I did it in Febuary and I've been cluster free since then ... so far this time. :D

If you've got CH and you've never done it before, it's worth a try !! It may just be your silver bullet !!

Goodluck
