MCAS: what is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? - Online interview

[@Daniel092511]

Hi everyone, my wife was just diagnosed with this and it’s been a battle for 4 years trying to find out what it is. Went to GI doctors to try and find out whats going on. They couldn’t find anything. Then went to allergist and she is now getting Xolair shots once a month which really help her. Wishing everyone the best who has this, it’s really difficult and I hope there are better treatments soon.

[@tills0172]

Hi Daniel. That’s wonderful your wife has had some help with this condition ❤Please can you update to let us know how it’s going ? Suffered for 20 years undiagnosed & GP still hasn’t recognised that I need treatment…😢

[@magicalpatterns]

It took me years for doctors to believe me and now that I’m in treatment off course the disease has advanced. Medical gaslighting causes medical trauma.
Now, everywhere I go (only the hospital ) I’m bedridden mostly. I educate any medical staff about it.
Is not just over the counter and that’s it. I’m on over 20 antihistamines and iv Benadryl.
I kept telling my doctors I had MCAS. Until finally my son’s pediatrician believed me and diagnosed me. I saw over 70 doctors and missed diagnosed and treated for lupus. And MCAS patients react to normal anti-inflammatory medication.

[@Penguinandpear]

Wow! I’m experiencing a similar situation with medical gas lighting. I feel I’ve been misdiagnosed with ME

[@gregorymalchuk272]

Do you respond positively to any of the antihistamines or anti inflammatory drugs? Which ones?

[@Thornton019hockey]

I was originally tested for lupus too. The marker for it even had a false positive the first time. I hate the medical gaslighting and people not listening to me more. I have chronic pain too and a genetic bone deformity that took 4-5 years to be diagnosed and even now the medical gaslighting to get me help is insane. I only trust women/POC doctors that I’ve seen in the past 5+ years because they’re the only ones who hear me and care and don’t blame it on me being a woman or stress.

I was thinking I was eating healthy food but have quit the walnuts, avocados, citrus, chocolate. peanut butter and bananas. I quit eating gluten for 2 years now but still having other symptoms such as a terrible rash. stomach pain, brain fog, headaches, ringing ears, dizzy. bowel issues, hemorrhagic cystitis and started going to ever specialist I could after much money wasted and thinking i am just a hypochondriac and never mentioned my symptoms again. I found out about MASC I took antihistamines. started a low histidine diet and it’s a miracle. I am going to let my rash settle and might introduce a high histimine food an item at a time and start a food diary to see what my triggers are … so thank you for this post … big big hugs and If I only knew about this about 5 specialists ago! And All it took was a few antihistamines and low histamine foods to feel better my skin has a way to go from this terrible odd rash but I am not having the fibromyalgia feeling, stomach pain, bloody urine, dizziness or heart palpitations.

[@janeolinger8038]

I’ve been researching MCAS on my own since I became aware of this syndrome. My varying symptoms are pretty textbook and I have little doubt that this is my diagnosis. Unfortunately, there seem to be very few doctors who have any interest in learning about MCAS or treating. It. I live in New York State, USA, and the few treatment providers cost thousands of dollars per visit and/or are nowhere near me. I am making the changes I can with mixed results. At least understanding the uniting underlying issue is somewhat of a relief and makes sense of these disparate symptoms. Thanks, Dr. Deeming, for this friendly, succinct and informative discussion. I am laughing when I think of the “little chappies” wreaking havoc in my body!

[@tacticalrockette4206]

I had a doctor that would only allow me to address 2 symptoms per appointment! They had a policy that if you have more than two symptoms you have to schedule a separate appointment. The gaslighting was unbearable and added a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety to my already debilitating symptoms. So many different doctors invalidated me, told me it was just "stress" because they didnt know why I was always having all these symptoms. I was accused of having an eating disorcer at one point. I was even told I just have an anxiety disorder. Doctor after doctor, I finally went to a residency clinic and a young new doctor actually sat amd listened to me tell him about my condition. He ordered a tryptase test and it was high! Finallly got an explanation for what was going on!

[@daniellerandall6486]

O my goodness I hate this , I’m studying to be a doctor myself and it infuriates me a little that you can only address certain things and if you do being in other questions they brush you of and move you along so they don’t listen .

Ready to show my family and friends this vid for the big reveal as to why i am so miserable and withdrawn and that it is not through choice or just no reason. 47 years. Trying to find out what is wrong with me, years researching/studying Psychology (mental health) Rheumatology (bone joint problems) and Neurology for narcolepsy (sleeping 21 hours a day and STILL being tired and zero energy) and as such feel like an amateur professional in each field if you excuse the contradiction. Ended up focusing on AI issues before scrapping it because i had exhausted all options (so i thought) and landing on a 90% chance it was going to be myalgic encephalomyelitis until i was in disarray again when i learnt about Ehlers Danlos (H or K variant) which also explained the ANS dysfunction that was a main player but did not fit previous ideas. All this happened in the last 12 months and i thought i had finally found 2 very very likely suspects that covered pretty much every issue i had then by chance 4 weeks ago i randomly watched 63 autistic traits video....as it got past about number 20 and felt my jaw dropping and the colour draining from my face lol, it was like my life was turned upside down in 3 minutes.....or my life was turned the right way up would be more accurate! I have spent the last month getting my head around it and am still reeling in all honesty and frantically researching it to death! Which lead me to what i feel like is my final destination...yep you guessed it...and my doctors has not got anywhere near anything i had previously touched upon other than sleep apnea and G.A.D and Depression, the last 2 were right at least, she has been so dismissive and difficult and listing my only conditions as Anxiety depression MINOR sleep probs and MINOR aches and pains, despite the fact i have lost pretty much everything due to pain, fatigue, general chronic illness and all the other stuff.

[@Penguinandpear]

Ive had prominent symptoms for 12 years and 9 years ago was diagnosed with ME. I’ve always felt that there was something more going on. Last year I developed my throat swelling from eating deli meat and research bought me to mcas. I went on a low histamine diet and I’d say it helped about 60% but when I spoke to my dr surgery (snr nurse practitioner )I was shut down very quickly. They were not informed or understood the condition. Interestingly my symptoms got a lot worse when I came off long term antihistamines for sleep three years ago. Including the development of a swelling on my torso and upper bowel pain. (Tests didn’t show anything). Thanks for this overview.

I was finally just diagnosed 3 days ago. From 2009-2012, my diagnoses were chronic idiopathic anaphylaxis, chronic idiopathic angioedema, chronic idiopathic urticaria. I was SEVERE. found the underlying cause in 2016, which is chronic lyme disease (if that can be helpful to anyone-root cause medicine). Started treatment for chronic lyme in 2021, just got an SOT for it, and it brought out my MCAS. back on antihistamines, but we're HOPING that by killing the chronic lyme, the mcas will also go away. We'll see...

[@amandalininger1616]

@ADirtyOldPerv first of all, nice online name 🤣! And I am still being treated for the Lyme, it's a process, but we found a couple more underlying causes that trigger flares for me. Mold is one of them, and gluten causes anaphylaxis and causes me to become anaphylactic to everything. Mold can do the same. I am being desensitized to Mold through a natural process called "NAET" treatments. It's going to take awhile, BUT the more desensitized to Mold I become through these treatments, the less severe my flares become...and I just stay away from gluten. So it is working, and starting to go away, and the Lyme has become SO much better. I hope that was somewhat helpful...

[@ADirtyOldPerv]

@@amandalininger1616 Thanks 😊, and thank you for responding! I am going to test for Lyme disease and see if I can for the same causes that triggers your flares (gluten, mold).

[@amandalininger1616]

@ADirtyOldPerv one thing I recommend: do NOT get the Elisa test done. Always shows up as a false positive. For a test that is actually covered by insurance, ask for the "western blot test." If you have ANY bands that show up, then you definitely have Lyme. The CDC requires 5 or more bands to be considered "positive" for Lyme. That is all BS. any band of Lyme meets the alternative criteria for a positive test. If you want to go more in depth about positive results, take the "Igenex" test. Unfortunately, that is not covered by insurance. That's what I had to do because I had 3 bands of Lyme. If u want to know more about it, and why the CDC criteria is bullshit, watch the documentary called, "under our skin." Just some more info for you that i thought would be helpful to get you started... I pray that you find your answers 🙏.

I cant count the number of specialists etc I have been to. Slowly but surely I am coming to the conclusion that mass cell activation is my problem. Ticks in nearly all the boxes. I would add to what you say, the wrong diagnosis tends to be owing to the fact that doctors and health practitioners of all kinds are still IMO not holistic enough. For example, the last health practitioner I went to focussed on my diet to explain my gastro problems but didnt notice (I had to point it out to her) the strange red flushes in my face, could not explain my repeated itching which has been going on for 5 years or so. These people still dont look at the broader picture, still just focus on their narrow field and thus miss ailments and syndroms which manifest themselves in many different ways, like MCAs.

My comorbidities are, T2DM, PCOS, Familial Achalasia, HEDS, POTS, FIBROMYALGIA,TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA, AVM -Stroke of the occipital lobe, FOCAL EPILEPSY. Some of the comments are just wrong. I see this all the time. It took me 7 years to figure out that mcas was my primary disease, and 7 more years to acquire expertise. Our people are not smart about this, and some of the comments, actually look like people who don’t have this, who are just trying to get sympathy or attention. I’ve seen this on almost every channel about mcas. Making excuses and too allergic for the anti histamines. Blaming Covid is another excuse. MCAS is genetic. Born with it. My mother has it with Schizophrenia. This is not something that just goes away with diet, exercise and a new beau.

we are concerned if having MCAS can be vaccinated for Covid....Sir please advice, thank you

[@maranatha8148]

Definitely do not under any circumstance get the covid shot

[@rebeccaj6772]

I wouldn't take that clot shot even if I didn't have MCAS. I wouldn't risk it especially with MCAS! Imagine the palpitations... no thank you very much. If you've survived this long without the jab I'm sure you'll be fine.

Antihistamines give me pain and anxiety

[@Ytdeletesallmycomments]

i cant take them either, Take natural ones
Quercitine for instance
Lots of herbs are blockers and eat low histamine foods

[@James-el6lj]

this is useless.

You're voice is muffled, and you're recommending symptom maskers. Too shallow an approach to health in 2021
