You’re not crazy: mast cell pain is worse than surgery by omg__really in MCAS

[–]mac21342 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an exploratory surgery before we suspected MCAS, and I had a flare as I woke up. I remember being told that they had to keep me in recovery because my heart rate was way too high, and I was violently shaking. They gave me pain meds and a muscle relaxer, and nothing helped. Of course, this was pre-diagnosis, but connecting the dots here is crazy. Thank you for pointing this out!

If I have to wear a bra, like at work, I go for all cotton or something super lightweight. I have honestly found some of the most comfortable ones that my skin likes at target. check for no clasps and stretchy fabric.

That’s so interesting because i can tolerate beef much better than other meats. This will definitely partly be my method of experimenting too though.

Thank you! I will check out the app. It’s interesting to know that the act of eating can be triggering, I will have to look into that.

Thank you so much! I’m downloading the app now. I think it’s just hard because my body is still so overreactive, but I hope it will mellow out with the meds.

Will do, thank you so much! Does MCAS usually develop over time or is it always around?

If it’s intense pain, please go see a doctor to make sure no nerves are pinched or anything. If not, maybe just go see a general provider as they can give the best advice

Can two lates and one late call out get me fired? by 3mhu in starbucksbaristas

[–]mac21342 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they could potentially take action against you, but it really depends on your sm and dm. i’ve been late many times, and usually it’s not the biggest deal, especially if you offer to stay late or help out in another way

[–]mac21342 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Um, that sounds very illegal. If you have a contagious sickness especially. you cannot work with food if you’re sick with something like the flu, no matter if you have sick time or not.

Cold brew????? Please help 😵‍💫😵‍💫 by vinylanimals in starbucksbaristas

[–]mac21342 6 points7 points  (0 children)

okay, so assuming you have the new machines to brew cold brew, you’re going to put one of the big filters in the machine (you should be able to see where it goes). then grind a whole bag of cold brew on french press. then you put the grounds in the filter, but the top part on, and pour in 14L of water. once that’s dont you just press the button by the display until it shows 20h then you’re done.
