My Story - My Diagnosis - My recovery

UPDATE: Since the making of this video - I am continuing to get better with each passing week. Just the other day I was able to go up 3 stories of stairs in a building. This is very encouraging because that is back to what my limit was before things imploded in January! I will work on healing and seeing if I can get even better!
*Apologies for poor quality videos.*
This video is to help explain what has been happening to me with my health.
Since COVID, so many people have this very same thing happening to them and it is going undiagnosed since not all doctors are familiar with these auto-immune disfunctions. I had this long before COVID, but covid has exacerbated people with underlying issues.
Finally getting to the bottom of things with diagnosis of POTS and MCAS.
I will explain my symptoms (which can range widely for people) and what I have been doing to heal and be the best I can be.
Below I am linking the KZbin videos and doctors that really helped me to understand what I have and how to be at my optimal health!
If I can help just ONE person find hope - then everything I am going through and went through is worth it. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! My BIGGEST advice is research how to get better naturally and all the things you CAN do instead of all the negative of what you can't. FOCUS on the POSITIVE. It can always be worse!

Thank you for sharing your story with us. Since the co19 nonsense, the amount of MCAS & POTS cases has grown like crazy. At birth, they say our gut/body is like an empty barrel. As we live our lives, the barrel gets full of crap. Eventually, it overflows & we get sick. Aside from food triggers... MCAS can be triggered by: microbiome imbalance, low vitamin D, hormone imbalance, trauma (medical, emotional), a bacterial or viral infection (Lyme & it's co-infections), chemical toxins, mold exposure, the co19 pokie, to name a few. You can eat a clean low histamine diet & still be reacting if you have not addressed those hidden big triggers. So please, look into those. Neels, you've suffered medical trauma. That is traumatic for your mind & body. Then fear (false evidence appearing real) sets in. You then are stuck in freeze mode. Your automatic nervous system is on high alert to try and protect you. (sympathetic vs parasympathetic). Look up Dr. Peter Levine's work (somatic exercise) and Bessel Van de Kolk's book The body keeps the Score. The limbic system feeds the fear. The subconscious is trying to help you, but is making things worse. There are programs out there to retrain your limbic system & or Amygdala. I'm not promoting them, just saying there are out there. (Annie Hopper, The Gupta Program, & Primal Trust) There is a guy named Dan on youtube at "Pain free you" . He has free daily videos that help teach you that your brain & body are ok. His work does not only apply to pain. The brain is misleading you & you need to kindly talk to reassure your brain that you are safe. Dan shares many pearls of wisdom for free every morning (6-10 minutes long). You are on the right path. Yes, we can heal our bodies given the right food & info. Our pain can be a lesson to help others. (pain to purpose). Be the victor, not the victim. You got this!

And this MCAS and POTS is very new to many doctors still.

[@MM-qp4pd]

​@@adventureswithneels5014no. Fight fight happens during the time you are experiencing the perceived threat. If a bear is standing in front of you your body is secreting chemicals that put you on fight or flight mode so that you can get out of that situation at that time. It doesn't wait til the middle of the night . Who told you otherwise??? The problem is when your body is unable to process these chemicals and emotions properly healthily and people get stuck in fight or flight even when the perceived danger has already left. That s when energy work such as accupressure can help. It can help unblock stuck energies.Have you looked into accupressure?

Thank you for your story. My daughter started getting sick at age 9. For 6 years they made her feel crazy. I started changing her diet. Finally she blacked out and went into severe body tremors at the hospital just after they told her that she probably had low blood sugar. She finally saw a cardiologist who diagnosed her with POTS. She’s still miserable but recently we switched to a low histamine diet. My daughter became suicidal and was in such a dark place. I had her journal everyday about what she was going through and what she feels. I made her write 3 reasons for living every day and she said that was the only thing that kept her from taking her life. She’s 18 1/2 now and her symptoms are getting worse. She suffers the same symptoms you have. Her doctor thinks I’m crazy for asking about this MCAS. I need to find someone who can help her with this

You really could start a whole channel here just about Pots and MCAS. I just figure it out myself this flippin week! It's been years of "God where are you?!!!"

[@guitarkatie]

You described those MCAS attacks perfectly. Same situation as you, waking up in the dead of night with all those crazy symptoms feeling like death. I developed a debilitating case of POTS at 29 years old, was bed-bound for a year and had to get on a year waitlist and travel out of state to eventually get diagnosed by Dr. Grubb, the US pots expert. You are VERY lucky that ER doctor actually diagnosed you!! I was taken to the ER, and they did nothing but stop my heart with adenosine bc it was 200 bpm and they discharged me that day with referrals into the community, none of which could help. I spent years seeing close to 20 doctors before I bit the bullet and saw dr. Grubb. I had no idea I had MCAS until two years ago. I would get those identical night attacks to what you described and every time I brought it up with doctors, they used my POTS diagnosis to tell me it was just that. The key was one night I had a few sips of red wine and had not had wine since my POTS diagnosis (7 years prior) and I went into a violent attack like what you described. It was the height of the pandemic so I decided not to go to the ER. The attacks kept coming closer together after that and were getting more violent. I was living with family at the time but would often ride out these episodes alone as I didn’t want to wake them. I was convinced they were a Brian tumor, cancer, epilepsy, that I was dying of something they’d never find and one day I got a gift in the form of full body hives out of nowhere. The last time I had hives i was three years old, yet these started out of nowhere and never went away. By this point, I had been officially diagnosed with POTS and hypermobile EDS (the year before) and my geneticist sent me right away to an immunologist who took on HEds cases since MCAS is so likely with that. She tested my urine and blood three times for all of the mast cell mediators and I was positive on the third try. Luckily, she began treatment before I even tested positive and I had a positive response to antihistamines, so much so that I only had one small “attack” in the entire year. You are right, most of this can be managed on it’s own through lifestyle and some of the supplements you mentioned. I had the great privilege of speaking on the phone to Dr. Theoharides, he is on faculty at a university where I receive care and friends with my doctor. He’s actually the top MCAS researcher in the world, no longer taking patients but fully focused on research. He has a company called www.algonot.com and they make natural supplements for MCAS patients. One thing I will say that I’ve learned though my immunologist is that having symptoms in more than two systems at the same time IS anaphylaxis. It’s just at a lower stage of it. It’s a misconception that anaphylaxis is just your throat closing up. With us, having tachycardia and BP drops AND nausea/ diarrhea/ vomiting is enough to BE in anaphylaxis. I do recommend getting an epi-pen from a provider, as every MCAS patient should have one even of they don’t have throat closing. You will be instructed to ONLY use it for throat closing, but it is good to have on your person because you can all the sudden present with a severe reaction for the first time. I recommend getting a formal diagnosis at some point for the MCAS with labs to prove it as you may run into an issue at the ER or when you need surgery if they don’t have an immunologist they can call to verify the right protocol. There’s a lot of pre/post op things and hospital drugs we should never have all laid out at TMSforacure.org and some people can’t get hospitals to follow them without an immunologist in their corner advocating as well. You should also wear a medical ID bracelet with the words “anaphylaxis risk” on it. Since I will deal with this my whole life being a “trifecta” patient (POTS/EDS/MCAS) I do have plans to be seen by Dr. Maitland because I know my management might change over the years. For anyone seeking answers for this you just have to be aware there is little to no knowledge among most doctors. Crowd source ( I like facebook groups) for the best doctors in your area and try to only go to docs that other POTS/MCAS patients highly recommend. MCAS is even more unknown than POTS, so there are literally a handful of docs in the entire US that can diagnose and manage and the majority of them went self pay. For those truly desperate with no local resources and willing to pay out of pocket and travel out of state Dr. Afrin, Dr. Dempsey, Dr. Maitland and Dr. Trevino are experts.

[@adventureswithneels5014]

Thanks for all that information. I do have a concoction that I do if I have a bad reaction. For the most part I stay in front of the game and never let it get that bad. I don't eat those things anymore that cause the severe reactions. Once you know you just avoid them! I guess I am not so sensitive that one bite of a peanut would throw me into shock. It's usually at the end of the day when my body is just full of histamines. I'm so sorry you had to go through those scary episodes during the night as well. It's the worst feeling when you just don't know what's happening but you feel like you're going to die. Over and over and over and over again. It literally about made me lose my mind. I couldn't take it anymore! God bless you on your journey and I pray continued healing for you!

Her brain goes into flight or flight. She was coming into my bedroom in the middle of the night telling me that she thought she was dying. Her heart hurts, her left side goes tingly. She has to sit while showering. Her legs turn purple. She gets dizzy when she stands. She is home schooled because she is so fatigued from not sleeping. The pediatrician wanted to send her to a therapist so she's no longer our pediatrician. The wonderful walk in clinic doctor ordered blood work and a brain MRI. The blood work showed low b12 and D. The MRI was normal. She has a neurologist appointment in August. God willing, she will get a diagnosis. I believe in the power of prayer. I will lift you in prayer. God Bless ~Michelle

Oh my goodness the poor thing. The middle of the night thing is dreadful, thank you for being there for her because it is the worst feeling in the world! I highly highly recommend that you change her diet number one and first of all. Make sure it's a clean diet. No processed foods or drinks. All natural low histamine diet. This will be a game changer! Make sure she doesn't eat after 6:00 p.m. this will help with the panic feeling in the middle of the night. It is very important to stay away from sugar which makes everything worse! Make sure she gets lots of minerals. If you have a good quality pink salt, you can do pinches of that in water. I am currently trying the new Buoy liquid minerals. So far it has helped me GREATLY.

Your BEST, defense against POTS is exactly exercise, start low and slow on the ground, recumbent. Look up the Levine protocol. You may think you were in the best shape but you in fact weren’t. Your cardiovascular muscle is too small and cannot work properly. I promise you can come back STRONG. You have to build up your muscles, that’s KEY. Muscles!!! I don’t know about MCAS but POTS isn’t autoimmune, its deconditioning, particularly of the heart muscle. PT is the only effective treatment for putting POTS into remission.

Thanks for sharing this with us. My wife has been dealing with this since she got Covid in 2019. No help from Doctors. She was in and out of the hospital every 3 mos. with what we thought was respiratory failure. We now know it was POTS since Covid. We have been on carnivore for the past 9 mos and she is doing soooo much better. The big thing was she couldn't sleep. Also she was having really tough time just walking across the room. We found Benadryl helped a lot with sleep and exercise on a recumbent stationary bicycle with oxygen therapy has helped tremendously with her being able to get up and walk. She is now able to go with me to the store without being totally out of breath and a high heart rate. Eating the Proper Human Diet has been the game changer for sure. She is off most of her Meds now and looking forward to weaning off the last 2 of 10 she was on.

[@adventureswithneels5014]

I am so glad she has found things that are working for her! Diet is a biggy. I try to only eat low histamine foods which changed everything along with fasting after 6:00 pm. Then we don't get the late night dump of histamines! Quercetine is a HUGE help when she starts to feel the hard to breathe pounding heart thing. I HIGHLY recommend. I get the 500 mg tablets and chew 2-3 and get it down with water. It hits the system fast to calm down the inflammation. Meat can get very high in histamines too. Eating one food only long term is not good. Good to cleanse the body but not meant forever. Add healthy low histamine fruits and veggies back in to get the other vitamins required to keep healthy is my recommendation.

Keep researching ways to heal your cells. I turned into a positive research NUT. I tried everything people suggested in the natural field. I have found relief in 2) 24 hour Zertec in the morning and early evening. Also high doses or quercetin help if I'm going to eat something with high histamines. I still have rough patches.

​@@adventureswithneels5014wow it's crazy good how you manage. Why you need to detox is the next question. Why you're reacting to histamines? Research Nut I can believe as I'm one too. I think it started with looking for something to help energy and sleep. I've even wondered if the drastic changes like the fasting harmed me because I wasn't eating as much and getting tired at end of day so didn't want to cook so I changed things around I didn't ear late and then looked forward to breakfast but still deficiency so now I'm eating three meals a day again and so exhausted as whole food to meet the nutrients we need is a whole lot of food and a whole lot of work to make it interesting. I believe I need to go simple like you have. Buy some organic options only and make it just a set weekly menu and not live in the kitchen. Being tired and not wanting to cook let alone do the dishes makes you despise food.

One day he was out of the office, and I came in for acute symptoms. He wasn't there, so another doctor saw me, and referred me to a specialist. Because of the time I missed being sick and sometimes bedridden, I failed chemistry and made low grades throughout highschool and missed out on my graduation, prom, etc. I had to give up sports when I used to play 2-3 at a time.

Three out of four of my young adult kids have this. The oldest, now 27, has been dealing with it since about 15-16. She has an extreme form of exhaustion and was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I just don't think so, as she has these POTS symptoms, has to stay hydrated, gets Reynaud's symptoms... The next oldest, age 23, also gets Reynauds symptoms and was tested for allergies and apparently has a number of food sensitivities. She avoids these. She is still able to work. My third daughter, age 20, has always been exhausted on warm days and cannot tolerate heat/exercise exertion. She is getting tested by all the specialists. I heard that the vasovagal nerve may cause some of the tachycardia and digestive issues as well ss dizziness. I also researched and found a doctor in Florida who treats symptoms associated with C1, C2 cervical instability... as this affects your vasovagal nerve. If you had a neck injury or as in the case of my kids a possible connective tissue disorder, this could possibly contribute to it? I'm not diagnosing and dont have the answers yet.

I'm just here looking at people's stories and symptoms so I can diagnose myself. I feel poisoned so feel it must be what I eat and have bouts of constipation, weakness, insomnia and a belly like I'm in 2nd trimester, spider veins forming more recently and dizziness.

Also today after two days of headache I have ear pain and my hair is sensitive to touch. I've had this a few times. Can't brush my hair, can't do anything for pain, weak and tired but can't sleep.

Tiredness, headaches, itchiness, breathlessness panic anything and everything. You will find your triggering foods. A low histamine diet and mega vitamin c and glutathione helped heal my body. Then it was a slow progress after that with fasting not eating after 6:00. I used to fast in the beginning as long as I could from 6:00 p.m. into the latest. I could go the next morning. Just to give my body a break and to heal. I've started adding minerals into my diet that has been a touch and go experience. I think I finally found a product that I can use. Now, though.

Hey Neels. I hope you are feeling better and have found more answers since publishing this video. Have you considered mold/fungus allergy? If you have mold in your home, auto, or workplace, exposure can cause a large number of the symptoms you are experiencing. Our immune system is dynamic, so its possible that you are in a hypersensitive state as a result of exposure to higher than normal levels of mold and mycotoxins. Check your place out. Mold can grow and thrive on just about anything, but its mostly going to be on cellulose. Look for damp or spots that may have been water damaged in the past.

[@adventureswithneels5014]

That is what initially kicked this all off into high gear and chaos was black mold in a leak that was unknown behind my dishwasher. It was behind all the cupboards and walls at my old place. Once it was discovered they told me I had to move out immediately so they could renovate it. My home now does not have any mold. And I did pretty good here for a while but slowly things got worse again when I made this video. I have never thought about my car (you mentioned auto) And I just heard coffee has mold....? I suppose everything adds up. I think the stress effects it too. Such a complicated thing!!! I won't give up until I am healed or at 90% better!!!! Thanks for your input.

​@@adventureswithneels5014 Well, that's good news in a way, as I had a similar exprience and perhaps my lessons learned my be of value. What kind of floors do you have? Do you have fabric curtains? Anything that might hold dust, could continue to contaminate the air every time it gets disturbed. Do you experience stuffy or runny nose when you are at home? Microfiber towles are great for keeping dust under control. ( here's a wholesome video of two dudes geeking out about microfibre and dust removal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZjWpoiupt1_mMksi=of_gQHPyw_PANCyC. ) Are you aware of changes in your body as they happen? Do you feel the onset of symtoms? If its airebore you may feel changes immediately. If you are reacting to food, that's a bit harder to connect, given the time delay between consumption and the onset of symtoms. This part is trial and error. I would recommend a water filtration system, to at least start with a good foundation. Foods that have been dried, stored in bulk, fermented, aged, etc. all caused problems, this includes, seeds, nuts, grains., legumes, chocolate, coffee. I did have a friend who roasted coffee fresh, and i was able to drink that without having a reaction, so perhaps where it comes from and what its been in contact with, is important. Foods grown in the ground live symbiotically with fungi and always caused a reaction, these include, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, ginger. Beverages or foods which contain citric acid, as citric acid is actually produced by fermenting black mold. So, basically, any soft drink. Fruits almost always caused problems, perhaps due to the high sugar content and delay between harvest and consumption. So, yeah, basically alot of stuff. What are you currently eating? My theory is that fresh foods minimize opportunity for microbial life to get in and leave proteins or metabolites that can cause a reaction. Leafy greens and brocolli are pretty much alive until you eat them, so they are actively resisting microbial intrusion, fresh is best. Eggs come in a convenient antimicrobial package, so those were always ok to eat. Meats may be fine, like chicken. But without condiments. Hope this information is helpful.

[@adventureswithneels5014]

I have come a LONG WAY since this video. Biggest helps: Don't eat after 6:00, fast after that as long as you can to give your body resting time to heal -Take antihistamines before you eat. -Get on a LOW histamine diet ASAP -Quercetine 1,000 - 1,500 mg if you start to get the hard to breathe or heart pounding......chew the tablets and drink a glass of water. It gets in your system fast and calms things down. (game changer for me!!! You can get it in the vitamin shops) -Add good quality mineral salts to your water ( a big pinch) or I have just started the Bouy liquid minerals in my water. This helps so I can walk in the woods and not feel like I am going to die or just take a flight of stairs! I am SOOOO much better, you will get there. NEVER GIVE UP!

[@adventureswithneels5014]

Oh my heart goes out to your son. Hard to deal with this as an adult can't imagine for your boy. If he can't stand the taste mix it, just good to get it in the body. Getting the inflammation out of the body is a huge part of healing the cells. Quercetin in high doses will calm an episode down quickly. I'm not a doctor but 1,500 mg worked for me an adult. The fasting after 6:30 and low histamine diet cutting out processed foods helped. I had to take antihistamines before I ate anything or just to function during the day. Now I only take antihistamines if I have a flare with food I shouldn't eat. It has taken me a year but I'm healing. Don't stay on that glutathione forever. It is meant for short term healing. 👍. High vitamin C and turmeric help with calming the body as well. I hope this helps. ❤️🫂 I'm praying for your son right now.

[@lr1732]

Going carnivore helped me a ton and have been getting more into coherent breathing. And I have to avoid histamines, cultured, cured, aged foods as well. Was doing good until I gave up my black tea and this has freaked my body out with crazy pvcs and tachycardia. But it is getting better…. It is an autonomic issue with cell damage (the mcas part) and a high fat and cholesterol diet can help heal the cell membranes. Might be worth looking into.

Wow, I am hearing the same story that I am going through for 3 years now. I am still fighting and advocating for myself to get a second opinion from dysautonomia experts. The doctors that I have seen do not even acknowledge that there is such thing as dysautonomia/POTS. I am getting worst despite of all the band aid medicines that I am taking for heart rate control, migraines, nausea, mood, menopause. I am tired everyday. 19:44

[@adventureswithneels5014]

You are not alone. The biggest thing I can say is start a food journal if you haven't. Write down every food and drink that goes into your mouth. High histamine foods make everything worse. Medications have side effects, try to steer clear of all you can. Try to heal yourself with food. Research natural doctors on KZbin. There are TONS of free advice videos from natural doctors out there. Look up natural POTS and MCAS doctors. Try an all natural whole food diet with LOW HISTAMINE foods only. Sending you hugs and well wishes. ❤️

[@01maggie]

Spirulina is high Histamine. I switched over to Moringa instead

[@crystalkeara8868]

Ugh 😩 I feel your pain. I have the exact same condition. I have dysautonomia/POTS likely from the MCAS. I also have cholinergic urticaria which means I get hives/dermatographia from heat, sweat, exercise, showering, sun and vibration. Random foods trigger me too. Xolair injections have been extremely helpful with this condition. I’m also in very high dose antihistamines and singulair, but they don’t help with the hives or bad reactions. My biggest symptom is the tachycardia and sometimes bradycardia with the adrenaline surges. Do you find when you get the last and biggest adrenaline surge that your body goes back to normal? It’s like my body is doing what the epi pen would do. Thankfully I don’t get full blown anaphylaxis with airway obstruction. Although Mast cells can cause heart attacks so don’t always brush off an attack. The tachycardia is most likely a good thing. The body may be increasing the heart rate to bring up our blood pressure. The mast cells release chemicals that make the blood vessels relax and leaky which will drop blood pressure and cause us to pass out. You may notice presyncope right before the tachycardia gets worse. If you pay attention to the very first symptom and lay down and try to engage your parasympathetic nervous system you may be able to avoid a full blown episode. You and I have a cholinergic trigger which is definitely autoimmune. Stress is also a huge trigger. We have to find a balance between pushing ourselves and relaxing. It’s the cholinergic response. Look up cholinergic allergy

[@keylockwood9487]

Sounds like Paraganglioma. Paragangliomas can be triggered by a lot of those foods. Also, hyper pots can be caused by Cervical Spine Instability. Cervical Spine Instability, or Paragangliomas can cause autonomic hyperreflexia. Where catecholamines go up and down and blood pressure, pulse go up and down. I would rule out Cervical Instability as a cause of your Pots, as well as rule out Paragangliomas/Pheo's. Just to be on the safe side if you continue to feel bad.

I'm not a doctor and I cannot tell you to take that Zyrtec I can only tell you what helped me. Keep researching KZbin videos on how to heal. Stay away from the negativity and pump yourself with as much positive things as you can. Journal. Even though it's really hard stay away from high histamine foods. You're going to be okay!

But your trips really inspire me and I really wanted to join in on one one day because your group looks like a lot fun and I love Kayaking!. Thank you for sharing your story. It really hit home and touched my heart. I had a health situation a few years ago that Dr's could not offer much help and ended up having to do my own research and learned a lot about the Histamine issues as well. I too changed my diet and it got better. My story is no where near what you've been through but I felt your frustration, worry, shame , etc that you explained and totally understand. I just wanted to share that with you so you know your emotions and worries are Valid and you're not alone on that. It is an awful thing and feeling to go through. It was a real shock and wake up call for me to learn that as wonderful as Dr's are, they are not God, and don't know everything and most don't know much about nutrients and natural ways to treat issues. And that there isn't always a Pill that will cure or should be the answer. Some Dr's are better at their delivery, but it really hits hard when you run into ones that suck at it! I too had to become my own advocate. That is a hard and scary thing to do so I applaud you and your faith and strength to go forth on this journey. I wish you all the best and will pray for continued success. I hope you are able to kayak again this summer and hope you will open them to the group again and I hope to join in one if I can.

There is support groups and there is help if we just keep searching. Thank you for saying you'll pray for me. I know all the prayers will help give me strength. May God use my story for great things.
