Fexofenadine (Allegra) is one of many antihistamines available without a prescription.

If you need such a drug and have these other issues, consider switching.

It apparently made a big difference with degenerative back and joint cell tests.

Why take an antihistamine that blocks histamine receptors when you can take diamine oxidase enzyme that actually degrades the histamines in the body?

Your alt stack is powders

MSM
Glucosamine CL
Sodium ascorbate
2x teaspoon daily

Add 10000-20000-30000 units D3 daily, depending on how bold you are. Your D3 “calcium problem” counterweight is magnesium glycinate and its ascorbate form. K2 for good lucks.

“Pharmacological studies using fexofenadine further supported the genetic findings. Fexofenadine treatment reduced cartilage degradation as well as both inflammation and age-related deterioration”

Fexofenadine = Allegra, allergy antihistamine.

In my youth I was very active with organized Baseball and later softball. That along with tossing around a football I must have rotated my right Glenohumeral joint (ball and docket) half a million times. Plus the day to day wear and tear. When I hit 60 I couldn’t raise my arm above my shoulder without shooting pain. This was going on for a year. The typical OTC Chondroitin Glucosamine supplements
did little to help.

About five years ago I was reading about UC-II which is a chicken cartilage derived supplement. In combination with Hyaluronic acid and Boron a pill was marketed. Sams Club and Costco have their version and they call it Triple action Joint health. About $25 for 110 pills for the Costco version and Sams comes in a 125 count bottle.

When I first started taking it I did two pills a day (1 is the recommendation) for 60 days then backed off to one. By month four / five I was pain free and have maintained that for five years. I have since added to the daily intake a turmeric and egg shell membrane supplement. I also have an arthritic lower spine which my regiment has helped but not to the degree of my shoulder. I lived with a heating pad in bed and my desk chair for many months. I haven’t had to turned them on this entire year since I added the turmeric and Egg shell membrane.

Antihistamines seem to give me premature ventricular contractions. And one night when I was miserably sick and taking multiple drugs, I went from vagalling down to rebound V tach degrading into A fib with ventricular response. No fun at all.

So careful if you take it. PVCs give a sensation of skipped beats or a extra big beat. Mostly they’re benign. But nor always.

My sacroiliac joint would like to give it a try. Heart says no way.
