I really wish more people knew about Mast Cell Activation... My wife has an allergy to progesterone, and experiences anaphylaxis almost daily. It's been incredibly difficult to get any doctors to even look at her, much less do anything. They're all excited at first, but then they usually don't even do any testing. I've had to do my own research to just keep her alive, and I've long thought it was MCAS related, but I can't find out, and no doctors really seem to care. She's been dropped by several doctors because she's just too complicated too...
Great video. This sort of thing helps patients, whereas most doctors just blow them off or tell them to see a "shrink" rather than actually educating themselves, running tests or actually helping people that are suffering...so, thank you for posting it.
This was a thorough podcast about mast cells. I developed allergies 30 years ago after receiving a vac while pregnant. I'm allergic to almost everything, foods, seafood, nuts, spices, drinks, cold, heat, wind, sun, fragrances, latex, dyes, skin pressure, bug bites, pet dander, you name it. The doctor I first saw about this 30 years ago gave me antihistamines and antacids but denied it was food related. I had to figure it out on my own. I did suffer from severe migraines that were controlled after I correlated it to food and environmental triggers. I took a skin test and had anaphylaxis on the spot. I did receive epi pens Rx at that point. Today it's still draining, I have joint problems and recurrent hives, sinus infections. It's miserable 😢.
I feel for you beloved. The pain of staying up at night even after you did all your protocol and you'll cry, laugh, sing, dance, all by yourself. Shalom Shalom
