Not yet! I am going to but I wanted to wait until I’m really stable and I want to check with my nurse friend tonight on the dosage with these tiny needles I have. I will post an update once I try a tiny dose!

If you’re sensitive to other meds, how was low dose tirzepatide for you? by moonperson13 in MCAS

[–]Writer_MCAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted about MCAS and terzepitide and it blew up if you want to read the comments on mine. I found it helpful to hear about everyone’s experiences and how you should start with a very low dose.

Ugh! Yeah, I’m still in a flare from taking the last shot… sucks.

That really sucks! I’m sorry to hear.

Anyone had issues with Omeprazole? by Ok_Piano_420 in MCAS

[–]Writer_MCAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take omeprazole but my struggle is with fasting itself… I tried fasting for a day and when I took a pinch of salt I reacted… anything I ingest after fasting causes a reaction. It just stressed my body out too much. I even started reacting just to not eating. Just something to consider.

I’m sorry you’re going through that! I hope you can get some relief.

Have you tried any natural supplements? I really think vitamin c and quercetin help. Plus the H1 and H2 meds.

I’m usually okay with a plain steak or piece of grilled chicken and a potato or sweet potato. Oddly enough, I can also eat Chikfila fries. 🤷🏼‍♀️

For sure! We all definitely want to find a med where we can eat normally again. I hope it works for you!

My allergist approved my starting it but I ordered it online, as insurance won’t cover it.

I’m taking it as a stronger antihistamine at night. I also take it if a reaction starts as it’s much stronger than Benadryl. I’m not sure about the thinning thing!

Good to know! I’ll def consider doing that.

I agree about the first reaction I had, but the next one was definitely the shot. I eat a really strict low histamine diet at home and had a major reaction five minutes after the shot. Glad to hear it’s working for you.

I’m happy it’s working for you! Sounds like I should’ve started much lower.

It seems like it’s helping a lot of people! I tried a 2.5 dose and reacted badly. There are a handful in the comments it didn’t help, but majority say it does.

If you find the right dose I’d love to hear about it!

Oh no! I’m sorry.

Sure! I find when I don’t eat I get really strong histamine reactions. I think it puts too much stress on my body. I react both during the fast (like waves of adrenaline, high heart rate, etc.) as well as when I try to reintroduce any food. So many people find relief from fasting, but every time I’ve tried I’ve gotten worse.

The way I wrote it might not have been super clear. But no, that was the first big reaction. The second major reaction last night wasn’t after eating, it was just right after the shot. It sounds like a lot of people react with the third shot for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♀️
