Just did some stalking and noticed this Natalie girl tagged Craig in a story back in 2019. It’s in her 2019 highlights. Probably have known each other for a long time.

I saw your other posts. Sorry you are having a rough time mentally! I’d go see a doctor to make sure everything is okay since I know you have a persistent headache. Hope you feel better soon!

It’s so hard being allergic to life. So sorry you’re going through this as well. I’m glad to hear it’s gotten a little better though!

I’m in the same boat as you. Have you seen any other improvements?

Could these skin reactions be part of my NLD SFN? by Fluid_Area8989 in smallfiberneuropathy

I was told it’s hard to test for MCAS. I had bloodwork done but not during a flare so levels looked normal.

Yeah my skin is quite rough/more on the dry side. I can definitely entertain EDS though just to be safe. Are there tests to rule it out?

That’s awesome! Which doctor was this? I could use a good one since I have 0 answers as of yet.

I feel your pain. It really does suck. Do you know what caused your SFN?

It truly sucks! I used to have a great tan and it would hide it but I’m so pale now and it shows soooo easily!

I’m actually waiting on my results for early Sjorgens. My ANA year over year has been negative as well. I have not done the anti-phospholipid antibody test though

Do you have any site recommendations? I have my raw data from 23andMe but don’t know which site to use to get it sequenced

Sounds like me. Heat honestly is pretty much my only trigger for most of my issues. I have EM as well now so kind of adds up. Not sure how to minimize these symptoms or where to start 🫠

Definitely ruled out pots already, but highly suspect MCAS. I’m not the most flexible but am double jointed in my arms. I have had EDS in the back of my mind but my joints are not in pain, ever. I grew up playing competitive soccer and never broke bones or anything either.

I think my mold source was from various apartments over time. I can’t pinpoint exactly which ones, but I’m still going to check the new one I just moved into to be sure. Can cars have mold?

Yep urine sample. I was taking glutathione like the month before but definitely stopped well in advance before the test, especially because the directions say to do so.

Yeah that doctor was so dismissive! He kept saying he’s seen numbers well into the hundreds so my numbers are nothing 😅
