One thing I noticed in the story is that she has a benedryl iv... Got me thinking, we dont they use an antihistamine pump with this disease?

I have to be careful, as IV Benadryl sometimes contains preservatives.  I've had a serious problem with it twice.  Very scary!  An IM Benadryl injection was not a problem and no problems with oral either.

I know exactly what you mean.  Sometimes it just feels like too many antihistamines.  Just wondering if other meds might be helpful that address other mediators, or if a mast cell stabilizer, like ketotifen or gastrocrom might allow you to cut back on antihistamines.  I've found that for certain symptoms, Tylenol or other med that addresses prostaglandins is more helpful than antihistamines.  Some people find that the supplements, quercetin, luteolin, and rutin stabilize their mast cells.  I take turmeric with bromelain capsules that help a lot with inflammation.  Of course your doctor can tell you if there would be any contraindications for any change in meds or supplements.

On good days, I'm still taking 2 pills and 1-2 vials of cromolyn, twice a day.  More when I'm in a flare.

I wonder if your doctor could increase your dosage of one or more meds or add a long-acting H1 antihistamine in the morning to help you be more stable all day.  Most people take 150-300 mg. Zantac twice a day.

Some people benefit from buying and using a single ingredient in the Neuroprotek (cheaper that way), and some people have good luck with taking a lower dosage.  One person I know takes 2 Neuroprotek and 2 Fibroprotek/day, lower than the recommended dosage.  I did have luck with some symptoms when I took Quercetin alone for a couple of months.  I've since switched to turmeric, but plan to get back on Quercetin or one of Dr. Theo's formulas later in the winter to see if it'll help with my seasonal allergies next spring.

Some doctors are prescribing 5 mg. ketotifen and patients are having better luck with that.  I can get cromolyn sodium very cheap through my insurance so haven't tried the ketotifen.  Keep thinking I should try it, as those vials are so big when I have to travel.

This is all such "trial and error" to get stabilized.  Hope you can figure out something that works better!

Didn't see the question earlier, but quercetin would not be recommended for anyone with salicylate sensitivity.  In fact bioflavonoids might need to be avoided.  You might want to google the topic, as there are a number of sites that list foods, spices, herbs, etc. that contain salicylates as well as processes that concentrate them in food, such as drying.
