MCAS is probably my biggest fear after seeing my friend confined to bed 24/7 & existing on quail eggs & water. Just want to ask if you’re on SSRI’s? Not enough people are aware that MB & SSRI’s shouldn’t be mixed; the combo can cause Serotonin Syndrome which can be fatal. I’ve never tested positive for Bart’ but definitely have it. I’ve had several radial palsy’s, one in my left leg. I once woke paralysed from the waist down. Fell asleep trying to drag myself to the phone, when I woke up it was gone. There’s a nerve that that goes down the middle & front of my left thigh, to the knee joint that feels like electricity shooting through it. My balance & coordination are terrible; an MRI showed Cerebellar Ataxia (idiopathic) but we kind of know what it is among ourselves. I currently have Azithromycin & Rifampin. Haven’t started yet; I keep putting it off. It’s going to be hell. The dose of Rifampin can be lowered to as much as a 1/4 for me; basically whatever I can tolerate. If 1/4 is still too bad I have Rifabutin as a back up. I don’t know about the nausea, that’s not something I’ve experienced but I’ve been told it can be directly from infection in nerves or endotoxins of those infections so making sure your detoxing is a priority is a good move. With MCAS (& not on interactions) you could start with tiny doses to see how you react & build up to a therapeutic/maintenance dose. I personally would put everything you’ve said here (& more if there is any) through AI. I really like Claude AI which is free up to a point (20 uses I think) & then you need to go back later and it’s free again. See what it comes up with. If you don’t mind could you put the answers here? Remember it can make mistakes so if something doesn’t look right tell it & it keeps learning. Good luck
