I'll just add to your excellent and thorough comment that many dietary sensitivities that cause inflammation can behave similarly - so if, as the parent comment says, your triggers don't seem to be histamine-related, but symptoms are similar, it's possible you simply have a different food issue.

Reply to Researchers have shown that individuals who are played a piano chord during sleep that was previously paired to a specialist form of nightmare therapy have happier dreams and fewer nightmares than those who didn't undergo previous pairing, showing that this approach can alter emotions in dreams. by rjmsci

The whole thing is fascinating, but if I weren't already intrigued, they would have had me for sure at "a specialist form of nightmare therapy," I can tell you that much!

I appreciate your taking your own advice and researching to better educate yourself! It's always heartening to see that. No, unfortunately medical misogyny is a far larger issue than your comment, and I meant it more in the widespread sense of "here's someone who really should know this, as a professional regarding a common situation that could affect all their female patients / half the world's population, and yet they don't, very possibly through no fault of their own but because this very basic stuff about female anatomy isn't considered important enough to be taught." Medical misogyny is a pretty common catchphrase for a lot of these issues, whether it's failing to address how teaching male anatomy as the default does a disservice to women, to how much longer it can take women to get diagnosed correctly, etc.

FYI wrt relaxin, yes, sure, lower in the luteal phase than during pregnancy, but yes, still present sufficiently to increase joint issues! (As someone with hypermobility disorder I can validate this personally to boot!) IIRC oestrogen increases expression of relaxin, so they're not unrelated.

Female anatomy teacher and hypermobility sufferer here: Sadly, that's untrue. Relaxin not only starts as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy, but is also regularly elevated in the luteal (post-ovulatory) phase of a regular menstrual cycle, which not coincidentally is when women are statistically more likely to suffer joint injuries.
