Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID reported in June 2024 that since pollen picked up about a month earlier, all their long COVID symptoms had worsened, after a period of doing better, though they were unsure it coincided with allergy season. They had taken daily antihistamines for over a year and temporarily raised the dose to twice a day with their doctor's approval. Earlier attempts at mast cell stabilisation, suggested by their doctor, never seemed to help.

My doctor had me try a couple different things for mast cell stabilization early on in this whole process, but it never seemed to help
In context ↗ - antihistamines · No change
I've been taking daily antihistamines for over a year now, but it's apparently not enough. I have temporarily moved to twice a day (with clearance from doctor).

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.
