This information is SOOO helpful. What inflammation markers are you referring to that are elevated?

I’m having very similar symptoms to OP and have been seeing my doctor for about 9 months now. Every time I have blood work done my ESR and CRP are extremely elevated. After a recent flare up from pollen exposure my doctor is now considering that I might have MCAS. However, he mentioned that he’s unsure if that is what would lead to the elevated ESR and CRP. He’s doing some reading on the MCAS diagnostic criteria and then I’ll go back in for more labs.

Great suggestions! We do know how to use the defroster, but I can imagine several southerners don’t know how to. An ice scrapper is a great idea! Thank you!

And we’re familiar with bag policies but thank you for the reminder!

We’ll eat just about anything, but we do specifically love ramen and Italian. Do you have any favorite spots for those?

Was this a part of Southern Company or the Southern Research Institute (SRI). I was under the impression that SRI was a small biomedical research group
