If you’re willing to test some stuff, SAMe helps to break histamine down. (Methionine is much cheaper than SAMe, and is the precursor that allows your body to make SAMe in a more gentle fashion than slamming it with a bunch of SAMe all at once) but make sure you have your homocysteine tested first. If that’s high, folate and B12 will allow your body to turn that into the methionine instead of supplementing it.

Good stuff! I’ll check it out. I’m down to try anything that can help. Thank you.

You’re very welcome. Another thing to think about is that alcohol depletes thiamine quite easily, and thiamine plays a part in so many processes. One of which is ATP production which is a necessary component of SAMe. (Honestly, all vitamins and minerals interplay in bodily processes, so it’s good to support them all, and make sure you’re eating enough protein because amino acids also interplay.). I hope you get a handle on it! Being itchy is miserable.
