Hi Wendy

Yes I get it sometimes and have to take antihistamine for a while. Don't know why it happens but after a couple of weeks of the antihistamine, I can stop taking them and I'm ok again.

I don't change nothing else so no idea what causes it.

Might be an allergy? I get itchy if I take in too much sugar, so maybe a candida thing going on. My partner gets it with sugar too.
