Oh yes very much so! Never before did I ever have allergies until all this crazy peri/meno started. I start coughing and then chest tightens, feels like I can't breathe in and around certain triggers fresh cut flowers, different smells, ECT.. And all kinds of foods now I can't touch, gives me reactions. In basically eating the same things every day for fear I will react to a good. Its crazy!! Losing weight too ( not good) anyone else experiencing this too and does it get better??? Well just wanted to share with you Anetta that your not alone in this one, allergies are a huge part of my life at the moment😂

Yes that can happen. Here is one theory why...we continue to "cycle" long after our ovulation has stopped or become very very infrequent. Progesterone is only produced after ovulation by corpus luteum. Anovular cycles are estrogen dominant and lack the second half progesterone shift. Estrogen upregulates mast cells which can make them more sensitive and more easily triggered to release histamine. Progesterone downregulates immune reactions. See if a bit of progesterone cream helps 14 days per month. You can also try DAO enzyme orally before protein meals, which will reduce dietary histidine which the body converts to histamine. Vit C also degrades histamine.
The estrogen dominance is also what upregulates the anxiety...progesterone is the "happy" hormone too for women. Are we having fun yet? I was also helped by acetyl-glutathione and a good b-vitamin (I take seeking health B-). Oh and as long as you are not on an SSRI (like Prozac or Zoloft) a dose of tryptophan can help your body make melatonin...and help sleep. I used to wake at 3am and then be awake until daylight. Sleeping well with these supplements.
Oh also SDG flax lignans!!! Cheers.
