Why I Took A Month Off | i had a health flare | Life Update 

I’ll share more about it later this year. No I can’t get the vaccine, not with how sensitive my MCAS is. My family all got the vaccine though. “Herd immunity” is always what we do for me.

I did DNRS a couple years ago and did a DNRS review video/blog series heyoitsmayo.blogspot.com/2020/02/dnrs-series-overview.html

Yes they're healthcare workers. The covid vaccine is one that won't shed and be contagious to others. I didn't have to be away from my family as they got this vaccine. Other vaccines that do shed and can be caught by someone with a weak immune system I do normally be away from them for those, but this one I didn't have to do that. It was a concern for us though so we did our research on that. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so much with your health, I can really empathize. I know it's tough and frustrating. :/

You should not be having all that swelling and the swallowing issues are a concern. If your environment is very dry your mucous may get thickened. =Use a ultrasonic mister that can use essential oils (like LemonGrass -pay more for the real stuff) and humidify your environment if possible. Mucinex can really help also (probably has histamine in the dyes etc =be careful). Look into low inflammatory diets (like Paleo) and understand Omega 3 (saturated) vs Omega 6 (unsaturated fats). No refined unsaturated oils (soybean, canola, margarine). Butter as a fat is good (use low heat if possible). No refined sugars and refined carbohydrates if possible. -Real natural foods without pesticides, or dyes (dyes have histamine). Canned foods and bottled condiments will be fermented and have histamine = try to stay with fresh foods.

I came to live by that too thru my illness/healing. Focus on the things I can control. What can I work on? What can I improve? What’s actually helpful right now? Focusing on all of the things going wrong is definitely not a fun road to take. Thank you💗 happy (belated) birthday to you too ☺️🎉

Thanks han💗💗 love ya

Thank you 💗 glad to be getting back to creating

They're all healthcare workers so they were in the first tier to be allowed to get the vaccine. (dad is a dentist, mom works in his office, fiancé is an ambulance EMT and also in paramedic school) All 3 tolerated it super well. My mom had a mild reaction to the first shot but slept it off by the next day and she had no reaction to the second one. All 3 their biggest symptom was a sore arm. They all 3 got the Pfizer vaccine. just if anyone else wonders more about it.

I had doctors tell me I shouldn’t have any pets and I laughed too. That’s not happening. Ever. I have 4 cats and a long hair dog. It’s worth it haha. To cut back on pet allergens I have HEPA air filters and we vacuum, dust, and wash blankets often. It really makes a huge difference. I never reacted to my pets but we were cautious and did that stuff anyway. But I still haven’t reacted to them. I love my fur babies. They’re the best part of my life. Not a chance of me ever having no pets at all. I’m way too much of an animal person. I take my meds, I changed my diet and my lifestyle a ton, but yeah no, not giving up my pets.
