Nightmares anyone ?
10/08/11 at 17:25:15

I know we all have them from time to time, but...
maybe its just a coincidence:i have been having nightmares pretty regularly since being on all the antihistamines. Also grinding my teeth like crazy at night. Its probably just the stress of dealing with this? also having more achiness than usual,& brain fog (which btw sounds nicer than brain farts) Cheesy

Clumsiness n weakness too. So maybe the nightmares are one of the Least of my issues Undecided

now that i think it thru...
Just curious.

They are most frequent in the morning and can be more than one in one day. Although, they are less frequent when I'm on the med.

Reply #3 - 10/09/11 at 07:01:06 There could be a connection with the antihistamines, yes. There can also be a connection in the MC mediators affecting the neurological system and even the central nervous system. You should see a neurologist. Lisa

The medicine works for me, but the nightmares are no fun at all. I have not been formally diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Disorder, but I am new here and trying to learn more to help myself with my problems. I am currently on several antihistamines, Singulair being one of them.

Seriously tho, Im not on Singulair, so thats not it; You are so informed, I will talk to my allergist about it. I need to take notes so he doesnt think Im crazy (Im not sure if I can prove that tho Cheesy

I get nightmares or very vivid, bizarre dreams from various triggers. Chocolate and coffee/caffeine are the worst, but high doses of salicylates or strenuous exercise will also do it for me.

This is probably in line with the profile of my MCAS -- I get a lot of neurological symptoms. For me, the nightmares seem to be a brain mast cell activation thing.

I recently switched from Ketotifen to Nalcrom (cromoyn) to see if it's better at controlling my neurological symptoms.
