Summary
A Reddit user with long COVID and a histamine intolerance diagnosed beforehand reported using fexofenadine for hives and a low-histamine diet to manage associated symptoms. They found fexofenadine the least drowsy-making antihistamine for them. The approach was hit and miss: on some days they still ended up foggy and itchy despite doing everything right. No overall change in their condition was described.

Their path
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.
