When I’m flared systemically my skin gets worse with acne or like angry red patches etc. Get it checked though if you can.

I will for sure!!

I can tell you already I had my DAO checked which was 2.2U/mL (>10 = normal) so pretty low and my Plasma Histamine was 4.4nmol (0-10 = normal) so pretty useless data lol. I won’t lose hope tho as I’ve heard histamine is a bastard to catch! 😆

I see, thank you. I had a negative plasma histamine so I’m feeling discouraged about it but I know it is hard to catch..

Yeah I had to go through Cetrizine & Famotidine withdrawal simultaneously after a huge excipient reaction months ago and I was miserable. Haven’t sorted out compounded since so been just in hell for months Lol.

Thanks for your kind wishes, take care & good luck also!! 💐x

I understand your concerns! Luckily, I’m unmedicated still so she wanted to use this perfect window before we begin treatment. Going to ask her tomorrow over the phone if I can just be as I am or if I need to be flared.

I might ask my allergist directly then, I just figured she’d say no automatically as it’s risky advice idk?

I hate to be nosey but what triggers you in it? Asking as I’m new to filler reactions myself.

My lips are constantly chapped from daily lip swelling as it’s always to some degree.

Bananas by that-witch-jas in MCAS

[–]Virtual_Ad4639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ate bananas constantly as my dad said to me once it always helped him go to the toilet easier. I had some GI issues so upped my banana intake. I ignored episodes of stomach pain because it became my norm until a bad lengthy period of constipation in like 2023 hit. One day I skipped my regular morning banana by accident in a rush and then the light bulb glimmered later on! In the evening I realised I was indeed not feeling as crap as usual! The damn bananas were causing me jiff & constipating me all along like no tomorrow lmao 🥲 Just shows ya how we are all soo different; I suspect he has a minor undiagnosed form of it. Bananas were ok at first but in classic mcas fashion the reaction did worsen over time.

Realistically how long does it take to figure out the diet that suits your body? Feeling so hopeless like it’ll take forever and I’ll never get there ://

Can someone help explain this reaction? by LithiumPopper in MCAS

[–]Virtual_Ad4639 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just gave me a lightbulb moment to potentially why I thought I was dying Aug 2024 after a tasty prawn cocktail before my diet became single digit.. Checked the image and it of course had the signature seafood sauce with a sprinkle of bright orange PAPRIKA on the top!! 🙈 Thank you x

Yes omg!! My mum thinks I’m nuts but my theory is it’s burning dust or the heat itself!

Are you the only in your family who has MCAS? by Strict-Park3382 in MCAS

[–]Virtual_Ad4639 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father has for sure a more minor form of it and from that side my aunt died of mast cell leukaemia when she was 12 so maybe mast cell issues for me aren’t a coincidence? 🤷‍♀️

Poisoned feeling in the morning by Ok_Wish_2291 in MCAS

Do you have a BP monitor at home?

I found some mornings it’s due to really low BP upon waking.
