I'm just checking in today to let you know that things have significantly improved since I figured out that the MAOI Parnate was still active in my system. I've gone on a low tyramine diet. This was quite a change for me, because once I did the research I realized that practically everything I was eating was high in tyramine. So no wonder it was a problem. I've eliminated cheese, cold cuts, aged meats (yes, the good stuff), bananas, soy sauce and chocolate. It was hard for the first few days, but once I saw that a lapse was immediately making me ill, it became easier. And, I keep telling myself that it's not forever.
Coffee is off the table again too, for now. I'm getting used to drinking chai. It doesn't have the same buzz, but I guess that's the point.
Anyway, it is quite a relief not to be getting sick all the time with no idea why. It's nice to be able to get out and about again.
