Thank you for this very informative video. I had been struggling with MCAS for years.

Now I am specifically trying to get into a Mast Cell clinic in Boston,(not this exact one) but I live in southern NH so I’m only like 30-40 min from Boston. The clinic is giving me a hard time and has a checklist of dumb SHIT I have to do in order to even schedule an appointment! 🤬🤬 As the many years I’ve been struggling and people like me, it doesn’t help when they make it difficult to even be seen! Just more insult to injury!! 🤬 Damn it’s ridiculous! I may check this guy out and see if I can get in to see him!!

I'm glad people are talking about MCAS. I am Systemic Mastocytosis (dx via BMB) and am in a clinical trial for a TKI. However, I have since being diagnosed developed TILT (chemical intolerances) and believe MCAS can be present in SM as well. Nightmare fuel for me as I cannot be in public without risking anaphylaxis again, yet I have to travel in a metal tube filled with people wearing way too much fragrances to the clincial trial site for labs.

I am so very sorry. I suffer also, as does my 22 yr old son who is just beginning to develop symptoms of itchy, hot rashes that seem to pop up all over his body out of the blue for no reason. I have other family members also who have sinus and “allergy” type symptoms. Usually if you suffer you can look back at family members and recognize they probably have it also, some at varying degrees. A lot of times it takes a stressful event, an injury or illness to rear its ugly head more predominantly. I had little “allergy” type nuisances for many years now looking back. Saw an ENT for 10 years who was always pushing steroid nasal rinses and otc allergy meds, and some prescriptions. Told me I had chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis… Then I got Covid in April 2021. It’s now June 2024 and I’m still suffering from debilitating symptoms! I was sick for 2 weeks, “recovered” and then 3 months later all these symptoms started one right after the other, plus severely worsening my respiratory and sinus issues I already had. It’s been a REAL living nightmare! I believe these “long haulers” actually have MCAS and more Dr’s need to be aware of this and looking into it! A couple things I have found that truly helps is pro metabolic eating to keep blood sugar regulated, none of these fad diets! Look up some pro metabolic eating videos here on KZbin to get an idea of what it is. It is used to heal the metabolism, hormones, leaky gut and autoimmune illnesses. Also look into some of Ray Peat articles and read about the Minnesota starvation experiment. It’s very interesting. A great tool to also implement is nervous system work and doing exercises for the Vagal nerve. This really does reset your entire system and will help in calming down mast cells. I wish you all the best! ❤ How are you feeling now??

People who experience gaslighting may feel confused, anxious, or unable to trust themselves.

I have a reaction to cammomile tea. Also to the new histamine blockers. I tollerate to some extent, a naturopathic antihistamine that has formic acid in it. I improved some symptoms when I cut out dairy (and ofcourse sugar) and grains as well as all fermented foods. My vit D is very low and have not been able to raise it even after abundance of sunlight and 7500 units (currently) of D3K2. Trying a liposomal D product to see if that helps. My D level is 70-80...the ideal is 180. (Canadian) I am so much worse after having covid a year ago. I hate going to the ER with my unconrollable symptoms of rapid heart rate or spikes in BP and allergic responses...they now are suspicious that I am either an alcoholic or a drug addict. I have not ever been able to tolerate alcohol...if I did elicit drugs I would probably be dead! Food is poison to me not to mention so many medical drugs. I chose to have a scope without meds to relax me because they make me ill for weeks after. It is really hard to have the will to carry on. I also have pulsatile tinnitus (totally foreign to staff in this little hospital) that is additional stress. Twenty years ago PT came upon me along with sudden hearing loss in the left ear and has not quit...24/7 I hear my hearbeat...like I have a built in stethoscope. I am disappointed with the lack of compassion, the ignorance and intollerance from poorly trained medical personnel. Thank you for this information. I very much identify with Lisa's experience. I am 76. At my recent trip to the ER the Dr. told me I need to get out more and stop focusing on my symptoms. sheesh. If I felt good I would be out running and going to the gym every day, not just a few times a month. Shame on them!

I was having joint pain all along the right side of my body, shoulder, hip, knee…. Once they found stuck fascia on my jaw (right side) and pulled it loose I had such relief. I felt like my head, my jaw became released, the traction feeling on my jaw was gone, it had just seemed “normal” I didn’t know what it felt like not stuck, because I think it had been stuck since I was at least a teenager. I did not specifically ask for this. It was incidentally found after about 8 treatments. I never knew I could feel so much better. Besides my head felt better, the issues on my right were so much better without further treatments.

I am so sorry and I totally get you!! I also have elevated Eosinophils, and had a surgeon remove a ton of thick, viscous mucus out of my sinuses that were impacted! They sent it for biopsy and it came back full of Lymphocytes, which I know mast cells recruit to inflamed tissues. Was diagnosed with “Eosinophilic asthma” and the pulmonologist wanted to have me start an injectable Biologics medication. I knew there was more to it tho, as I have a lot of other symptoms. So why start a medication for the respiratory tract,(which is my worst symptom) only to still suffer with all my other symptoms. Sure I would get respiratory relief but I wanted to get to the root so I can take care of all of it! I am still figuring it out as I go, but am hoping to get into a mast cell clinic soon in Boston as I only live a half hr away… In the meantime I am trying to heal as much as possible by eating pro metabolically and doing nervous system work. Working on the nervous system is actually a big step in this process to help calm things down! Doing Vagal nerve exercises really does improve things. Hope you are getting help! ❤

I certainly don't think Lisa is crazy when she mentions having symptoms after being around electronic devices. However, I wonder if the issue isn't related to electromagnetism, but rather to the multitude of chemicals that are used to make the devices themselves. The plastics, heavy metals and solvents used in electronics manufacturing are toxic and hazardous.

@Marie-rd1se 4 ай бұрын

I don’t know about Lisa, but I can attest that sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) is a real thing quite apart from any problem with handling the chemicals that offgas from the machinery that produces the radiation. I am finding it necessary to move from an apartment that is surrounded by 24/7 operating Wi-Fi routers in units below and to all sides of me, generating EMR which has been weakening the tissues throughout my body which in turn has caused neuromuscular derangement producing severe back, hip, and leg pain- something I’ll have to write more about after I’ve gotten the heck out of here before people move back into the unit that was recently vacated partially improving my symptoms when they turned off their Wi-Fi service.

Now 1 month without it im having the worst itches in my life on and off. Especially scalp head and feet for some reason, alot of people that have been using Zyrtec have had same problems afterwards but i think it could be MCAS? Many post user's of citrizinekloride are trying to taper off to reduce the effects of the itching but it could still be months or years of itching and other side effects and that's not likely just due to the antihistamine medicine 🤔 anyway keep this up.❤

Nicotine ? As in the addictive chemical in cigarettes! Are you sure it's nicotine? Many take rx compounded drug LDN (low dose naltrexone)....reduces inflammation in body...apparently used for pain reduction as well. Look it up and when you find the LDN trust or foundation....they have tons of info about other diseases it is used for. I think they have links to research articles.

Have they tried elimination diets i.e. cutting out all grains for a few weeks and then also dairy? Thirdy, high histamine foods?

@sarahb.6475 3 ай бұрын

I have been grain + dairy free for years and it hasn't stopped any of the reactions to stuff. I even cut out most fruits + veggies as I react to that too.. Or stuff on them. I am basically living on grass fed beef + lamb, a very few select organic fruits (like prunes).. I have managed to add eggs + liver back to my diet recently. But I have been dairy free since nov 2020 and grain free since july 2019.. And by grain free that means I also avoid all corn + corn derivatives and grain like foods and no shared equipment. Avoid fruits that are ripened with corn gas like bananas. Avoid lectins + oxalates + nightshades.

I wonder if the cream would work for my perioral dermatitis I get from my steroid inhaler. I have been diagnosed with MCAS but could possibly have mastocytosis. My immunologist says the testing we have here in Canada is very limited. Ketotifen and Pepcid have helped me but not enough for me to be able to work. Now diagnosed with suspected Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. My GP put me on omeprazole to help my acid reflux. Oddly enough the omeprazole seems to be helping my tachycardia and dysautonomia symptoms along with helping my abdominal pain and swelling.

@sharibaratono8363 4 ай бұрын

Famotidine helps dysautonomia for me. I have seen other information stating POTS can be related to esophagus irritation/reflux. This seems true for me, but famotidine is an h2 blocker, where omeprazole I believe is a gastric juice blocker I haven’t tried, ut suspect could also work like for me as well. I have hypermobility, by my adult child has EDS and has had trouble with perioral dermatitis - not using a steroid. But my child just started on a steroid inhaler as well due to “weird asthma”. So will have to remember this, thank you.

17:33 "mixed organic brain syndrome"? Cutting out dairy/gluten/grains helped my IBS recover by 70%. Trying new probiotics but people say to make your own kombucha is best. It's colonises the environmental bacteria local to you. It can help with a lot of these symptoms. DOA supplementation is better then anti histamines.

I got mast when I was 18 living in a small apartment for 6 months with heavy black mold. I'm 42 now and never healed 😞My diet is 95% boneless skinless chicken breast. That's about all I can tolerate without bad symptoms. Have you tried doing Atkins diet? You need to cut out ALL carbs. You may also need to eliminate dairy and possibly processed meats such as hot dogs, etc. I tolerated vegetables for awhile but not anymore. Sadly this syndrome will get progressively worse 😞

Do not lose hope - that is what will motivate you to stick to whatever meds, or diet, or supplements etc 100% while doing more research! If you do half-measures, you can't then say you tried it and it didn't work. Pray, a LOT, and ask for prayers. Do some sort of stress relief - I used Wim Hof Beginner Deep Breathing. Accept your limitations today and ask God for patience and strength, but always keep your goal of renewed health and keep asking God. May God bless you with a clear path to robust health. ❤🙏❤️

We have so many processed foods that are mineral and vitamin deficiency. Also, those cheap vitamins that are added back don't assimilate in the body. GMO and pesticides are disregulating the gut biome... etc...

@eri7-11 2 ай бұрын

This is very key. Processed foods chelate minerals (the pesticides also chelate minerals from weeds to kill them and then you eat this food grown with this chemical), people get sick and put on prescription drugs that also chelate minerals, and stress chelates minerals. When people try to get supplements, most are junk or if you take it and are missing other nutritional cofactors then you don't get helped and get side effects. Or lets say you need vitamin C and you get a whole food acerola but then it triggers the mast cells and thus IC in the bladder. Oy vey, some group in the world secretly ruling over us are culling us.

I have for 2 years now suffered with hives in different shapes, different whelps etc. I lost over 50lbs in 4 months. Finally got a biopsy done on an out break of hives. Came back with mast cell. Very painful, now has become sever in places that I’ve not had before.hours of pain, itching, almost mental breakdown times. I’ve noticed in past month after not having hives for over 2 months then boom they came back worse and I’ve noticed it’s triggered by emotions. Steroids didn’t work, 2 antihistamines bid, still suffer more now then last year. Dr.s say labs are good, then labs are abnormal. I feel defeated now,this whatever is I’m dealing with is taking my life away little by little each time. Dr.s think it’s in my head. My memory is getting worse. Too bad you can’t find a Dr. that will listen to they think you want pain meds. I can relate to these 2 ladies.

I developed these issues and more after getting vaccines for Covid. Apparently there has been a surge of cases after the rollout of the vaccines and in those who contracted Covid - even in those who didn’t get the vaccine. Autoimmune issues + have surged - vaccines can cause autoimmune issues - and reduced immunity. It appears the many adverse affects of the spike protein - from Covid and the vaccine - may be the cause. Neurological disregulation is also caused by spike proteins per a Stanford neurological scientist. Spike proteins negatively impact every organ in the body and we have no idea how long our bodies will produce them - despite vaccine manufacturers saying they would last only 2 days. Unfortunate on so many levels.
