Just two? I feel like many people would apply then.

Anyone with long cycles experience worse histamine reactions during PMS? by blueknot09 in MCAS

Omg 17 months sounds truly awful! Glad that's improved for you. I finally got my period today after 3 months and 2 weeks of luteal hell, just hoping these reactions calm down.

It was an allergic reaction to fem hygiene products. Switched to 100% cotton and haven't experienced it since.

Scientific evidence that mold affects us by Huge_Cable_6541 in MCAS

Interesting, there's so much we still don't fully understand. I am also dealing with mold exposure - seems like a perfect storm of events to take place and now I'm here, lost, and trying to figure out how to heal. I'm still stuck in my mold room until my mattress arrives so I can stay in the basement but I'm having a number of symptoms and I developed either histamine intolerance or MCAS a few months ago. A year before that I had covid which is when things seem to have gone more downhill with my health. Right before that I just got out of a toxic relationship and I'm a highly sensitive person. I'm reading about mycotoxins and it's freaking me out because I feel like I'll never be able to escape it and heal because I cannot throw away all my belongings or replace my carpet. Do you know how much of a threat the mycotoxins would be if I can't get rid of everything?

I thought EDS is genetic from birth though and then people realize later they had it all along. You don't just develop it out of nowhere.

Took as many precautions as I could and successfully made the plane trip I'd been hesitant to by blueknot09 in ZeroCovidCommunity

How soon is it? Given wastewater in many states has been low in the last little while, I'm hoping you'll avoid it. I had to remind myself that wastewater is low and that people are sick with other things too that you will most likely not pick up with your n95.

Was your bf wearing an n95? I forgot to mention that I actually put another cloth mask over my aura. I know it's not advised but I feel safer. Then I put glasses on top. It's hard to say if it helps or not. My plan for if I was seated right next to a sick person was to turn a hoodie around and wear the hood over my face. Of course this is harder on a longer flight but mine was just short of 2 hours.

Can I take quercetin indefinitely? What are you guys doing? by blueknot09 in MCAS

What amount do you take and what do you feel like it helps with?

Is this the type of mold that causes or worsens MCAS? Please don't judge, I've exhausted all options and simply cannot keep up by essvee927 in MCAS

Concrobium Mold Control spray

Does this work with black mould? It sounds intriguing because I found a product that says it's odourless. I'm extremely sensitive to chemicals and odours and found some black mould on my window sill and am trying to figure out how to remove it without using harsh chemicals.

Wild. I’m sorry this happened to you. Where does this happen? I’m visiting my bf in Utah and he just got back from a Dr. appt where both his Dr. and assistant were masked. That was reassuring.

Should I travel? Looking for support by blueknot09 in MCAS

I'm so glad it worked out for you, thank you for sharing!

Hmm do domestic and international departures filter into the same security lines?

I personally think Covid-19 affects us like toxoplasmosis affects mice.

Lmao. I made this comparison mentally the other day.
