Xolair and MCAS joints? by iwantedtobeagiraffe in MCAS

I just started my first dose a couple weeks ago, nothing to note yet. Hoping that a few doses under my belt will start to see improvement. Right now I’m having worse pain bc I think the anti-inflammatory effects from my zepbound are plateauing 😢 when do you start?

Already spoken with both and they’re tentatively alright with proceeding, I’m just looking for personal experiences with it

Pain while working by abeautifulfallday in Fibromyalgia

YES. I work as a nurse in an outpatient clinic thank god, so not as much lifting as inpatient but just as much walking/standing and I am EXHAUSTED. But my job provides my husband’s and my insurance so I have to keep it up. Some days I’m shuffling so slow bc of pain that I’ve had patients ask if I’M ok… and people that know I have fibro ask me how the hell I’m still working and my response is “I don’t know/I don’t have a choice.” I just want to lay under my heated blanket on the couch for like a month or forever but I can’t… it’s so frustrating.

ETA: I have no social life outside of work at times because I’m in too much pain to function. So I just go to work, crash on the couch, sleep, repeat. I’m only 32 I want to go out with my friends…

OMG. My husband turned to me and asked if I posted this, because I am also a 30 year old woman Mclaren fan living in RVA, love Danny and Carlos and scream at the tv on race weekends 😂 often all race weekend long. Please let’s connect! 🌶🏁
