Summary
Petrel 62633 wrote on r/chronicfatigue that their chronic fatigue came with allergy symptoms, which worsened after high-histamine meals along with more fatigue. Cleaning and managing allergens were among the approaches tried. After a doctor suggested watching histamine in food, cutting back on tomatoes, chocolate and citrus gave a huge improvement in energy levels, even in dusty environments.
