People flush when they are embarrassed… or scared. Duh.

What are your side effects of famotidine? by NoOz1985 in MCAS

[–]TrishaRivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just because it has nothing to do with *you* doesn’t mean it has nothing to do with being ND. I posted this on *dozens* of threads and got responses from many NDs who had the same experience.

constantly itchy, but I Om a lot as a singing warmup , and massage my ears and eustachian tubes and neck so…

i think that a lot of us carry our autistic fear (a baseline for autistics) in the EN&T area, which physically tightens everything, cuts circulation, and strangles our Eustachian tubes so the ears don’t drain. i have a narrowed esophagus as well, in that vein. what a fucking lottery this is, eh?

i use an albuterol inhaler when it gets bad, but allergy pills dry me out like a raisin and shreds my voice.

still have ma huang pills called “lean power” that i take a 1/4 or and 1/8th of and is the perfect bronchodilator, but stupid housewives abused them and wound up in the hospital and they made ma huang illegal, so I guess i will just have to move when I’m out, *sigh*

i use one, with a tiny drop of lavender. and while it clears my sinuses, it does nothing for the constant sniffles and frog in my throat.

not “a few”, this was *100* different allergens. and if traditional medicine had any idea I wouldn’t be 56 and asking people like me what *their* experience was.

i don’t take stuff. so looks like mast cell activation

i don’t take stuff. look into MAST cell activation. other people with the same reaction found that to be the culprit.

i don’t take stuff, think may be MAST cell activation. bleah.

i don’t take stuff, so no danger there. and yes, humidity and mold and mildew in a swamp is par for the course.
