What Causes Persistent Itching And Fatigue Despite Taking Zyrtec?
I seem to be suffering from some sort of condition with autoimmune symptoms for the last four years that involve sever itching, fatigue and a general lack of wellbeing. The only thing keep my condition from getting really bad is taking at least a half a pill of Zyrtec every couple days. However, even on the Zyrtec the itching symptoms are noticeable enough for me to have medicate using cannabis as well. However, if I go more than a couple days without Zyrtec my symptoms get really bad to where even cannabis doesn t help. Right now I m on a paleo, low histamine diet, as I ve noticed foods I used to be able to handle, such as wheat, sugar, caffeine, dairy, soy and anything processed triggers flare ups even on the Zyrtec. What can I do to get off the Zyrtec and cannabis so I can get back to normal?

you can take Allegra to treat allergic condition.
monteleukast can be taken with Allegra for added benefits.
Deworming done empirically can benefit few cases.
Blood test to rule out eosinophilia should be done.
skin prick test to rule out specific allergy can be done and the allergen can be avoided totally.
systematic desensitization can be done once allergen is identified.
carefully noting aggravating agents and avoiding them is also a solution.
try to keep environment free from dust ,mite ,mould.
keep nose and mouth covered to avoid allergens when you enter polluted surrounding.
Hope this helps.
wish you good health
