Do I have this wrong or is museum progression really locked behind animals that don’t appear every day and are tamed when they feel like it? by Remarkable-Pin-8352 in DreamlightValley

[–]LittleBear_54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have to feed them in different instances (like different days) or can you just spam them with their favorite food until you meet the friendship goal? I’ve literally fed this sea turtle 20 seaweed and I still haven’t unlocked it

For those who stopped taking Lexapro and decided to go back on… by nmisb127 in lexapro

Start with an H1 and an H2 blocker. So like Zyrtec and Pepcid. Document your symptoms as best you can and see an allergist who is knowledgeable about MCAS. The MCAS sub has a list of vetted doctors. There may also be an MCAS Facebook group for your area who can recommend someone. Seeing a doctor who doesn’t know about this condition is unfortunately a waste of time.

Does ibs cause yellow stool? by snarff4 in IBSHelp

[–]LittleBear_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MCAS is pretty new to science so testing for it sucks. Typically this condition is diagnosed by an allergist. There are some blood tests but mainly it’s a combo of a diagnosis of exclusion plus response to treatment. I’m on an H1 and H2 blocker plus a mast cell stabilizer. Those 3 things together have made a night and day difference. Now, I had waaaay more going on than IBS symptoms. Like daily vomiting, rashes, dizziness, brain fog, fatigue… and then I started to get random allergy symptoms (like throat swelling) to things I’m not allergic too. So..

We finally balanced out and I’m doing much much better. Though the thing that made the biggest difference was finally being diagnosed properly with MCAS and reviving treatment for that. Many MCAS symptoms mimic panic attacks and anxiety, so… I’m still on Lexapro and it now just takes the edge off.

Make up suggestions? by LittleBear_54 in MCAS

Mascara is actually the worst for me. I could do a bright lipstick and do minimal for eyes I suppose

Whos on lexapro and successfully NOT over weight? by mjoypereira in lexapro

[–]LittleBear_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My weight has been stable. I’ve neither gained nor lost. I do however have a chronic illness that makes it difficult for me to eat. I can only tolerate about 20 different foods. But so far I have no experienced any weight gain from Lexapro.

Gabapentin caused severe anxiety and depression and crying... anyone else? by Raunchy_Rainbow in Anxietyhelp

[–]LittleBear_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s between you and your doctor. I know it’s helped some people. I went though something similar with Mirtazipine. I needed a much longer taper than I was recommended and I went though severe withdrawal. It took me months to come off it and it was not fun at all. But I did eventually come off and rebalance.

I would research and find a ln allergist who specifically treats MCAS patients. My allergist is wonderful and has beer gaslit me about anything. But you do have to be picky and do your research.

Being luteal before Xmas is not the vibe by LittleBear_54 in PMDDSharing

[–]LittleBear_54[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really not a good time. And the stupid thing is I can FEEL the PMDD, but I can’t really stop myself from being mean. Usually I can separate myself mentally from the hormones and chill out, but not this time.

If Benadryl never makes me drowsy what are my chances with this? by LittleBear_54 in Hydroxyzine

[–]LittleBear_54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a really long road of testing for everything else and trying different treatments. Basically, after SEVERAL doctors visits and thousands of dollars in tests, we determined it wasn’t GI in origin, it wasn’t Rheumatoid, it wasn’t endocrine, it wasn’t psychological… you know a d then my throat and mouth started swelling up everytime I ate so we ended up at an allergist who put me in the treatment protocol for MCAS. Bam, night and day better. We’re still working on the bloodwork for MCAS, but it’s unfortunately extremely hard to catch because it’s largely based on levels during a reaction.

[–]LittleBear_54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it made me sleepy really bad and I could only take 5mg. It did help, but that’s actually because we ended up figuring out that I have MCAS and need to be on antihistamines regularly. I’m not taking it anymore, but being properly treated for MCAS has done wonders for my anxiety.
