Summary
After getting COVID-19 in February 2022, they had high histamine levels with hives erupting around the body and also had tachycardia or POTS. They said the hives slowly died down as their immunity settled, and they changed their diet, increased salt and water, and took supplements, getting better with time. By August 2022 they had slowly increased their food options, but hives from certain foods remained, though less serious than before.
