Summary
Fjord 70503 developed post-viral pruritis after a first covid bout in summer 2022; the itching lasted about four months and higher-dose antihistamines never cleared it fully. After another exposure in January 2023 they had tingling, numbness, pain, burning and itching in the lower legs and feet; they suspect their earlier itching was small fibre neuropathy rather than MCAS. By March 2023 ALA was helping most.

I was prescribed higher dose antihistamines but that never made the itching go away completely while taking.
In context ↗ - ALA · Helped
ALA seems to be making the most difference at this point.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
