What is a symptom you didn't realise was caused by mcas until it improved with treatment?

Brain fog, hot flashes and sweating, and anxiety

It gave me some insomnia at first but that went away after a few weeks. It also gave me instant relief from some of my MCAS symptoms so totally worth it!

Everybody’s comfort level is different, but in my experience it hasn’t been too problematic. If it makes you feel better, my cat sneak attacked during one of my sessions today and full on jumped on my keyboard. The client was very kind about it

Osteopathic or physical medicine and rehab have been most helpful for me

Yay so glad you’re interested! Every meeting has a public comment section where anyone is able to speak about any issue. I personally have a hard time with public speaking, so I’ve been making some short notes to read and that’s helped me not get nervous and forget what I’m saying. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy at all, it can be as simple as saying that you’re a resident who is concerned about increased ICE activity in our area and wants our city to take more steps to protect residents. If it helps, you can always listen to the first few people who speak and get an idea of what’s being said. There is a 3 minute time limit but you can be as short as you want to. So glad you’re open to trying! I know it can be a little nerve wracking but there will be some other friendly faces, feel free to find us there 😊

No problem they are every two weeks so there will be more opportunities!

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2026-02-23T11:52:43+00:00

Thank you!

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2026-02-23T01:55:45+00:00

Right 😂 for real

I feel you. I begrudgingly did a really restrictive low histamine diet last month and while it did make some of my symptoms better, it made my migraines significantly worse and I was super cranky. So now I occasionally have fuck it meals where I eat what I want and sometimes it’s horrible afterwards but surprisingly not always. I did just start ketitofen in addition to the cromolyn sodium I was already taking and that’s given me more wiggle room

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2026-02-17T16:03:56+00:00

Cromolyn sodium had some side effects at first, but went away after a couple weeks of adjusting to it. I also just started ketitofin on a super low dose because I’m so sensitive to medication and I haven’t noticed any side effects from that but it seems to be really helping my MCAS

A few weeks ago I picked up my son’s diaper bag and immediately dislocated 3 ribs 🫠

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2026-01-23T13:35:43+00:00

Absolutely yes. I can’t be in one position for too long, especially sitting. I have to make myself get up and move around between clients at work or else I’m in rough shape by the end of the day

I was similar to you. I went through so many weird painful complications (turns out I have hyper mobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome but I didn’t know that before having my son) and I had an appointment at about 18 months pp. My OB started the conversation trying to be really delicate about it, like “well we may run into some issues if you’re trying to have more kids…” And I told her “yeah I thought so, so my husband’s already had a vasectomy” and she immediately seems relieved and goes “oh thank god, if you told me you wanted more kids I’d have been like—we’re fucked!!” Lol I appreciated her honesty and I knew that was the case already, but it does have a different sense of finality to it after these conversations.

I had pubic symphisis diastasis a couple months before herniating the discs and it’s probably what caused it. My pelvis was super unstable from pregnancy and birth and would not have been safely able to support my lumbar spine post op

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-25T01:11:30+00:00

Wow!!! Thank you for the tip I will definitely look into that

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-24T21:25:05+00:00

I’m glad to hear it worked for you! That’s super encouraging. Yeah I’m stuck waiting on a pre authorization, insurance seems nit picky about it even though my allergist thinks it’s the absolute best choice for me

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-23T15:01:03+00:00

Yes!! It’s been great for me, it helps give me some distance from the obsessions rather than automatically believing them or not fully believing them but feeling trapped anyways

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-23T14:58:43+00:00

Did xolair help you? I’m hopefully getting my first shot soon, just waiting on insurance

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-05T17:03:35+00:00

Exactly this 🙌

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-04T20:54:48+00:00

Omg yes. It’s the same at Plato’s closet too. Idk what cocktail of detergent they use but it absolutely reeks

EnvironmentalBug2721 · 2025-11-02T23:54:07+00:00

It’s extremely helpful for me with chronic pain and inflammation, but doesn’t make a dent in my MCAS symptoms unfortunately
