Still not convinced. My ex also had them and I was sympathetic for many years, doing my best to help her through them.
But it was eventually too much. She identified a few things as likely triggers. I realize that’s not 100% but every time she had another episode, she exposed herself to a trigger. When she successfully avoided triggers, she had them much less frequently, even going years between. I eventually lost my sympathy: if you have good evidence of triggers yet don’t avoid them, then you FaFo
The only trigger I can identify is spring weather in a small city in a place that's mostly temperate rainforest.
I apologize, that I didn’t mean to doubt your experience - sometimes there is something you can do, and if you don’t follow through with it, the rest of us will be much less patient. However I also realize there’s never a perfect way to prevent them and not everyone has identifiable triggers.
Allergies?
I had allergies bad as a child but they mostly went away in my mid 20s. Certain animals bother me but usually not plants. No food or medicine allergies.
