I had another doctor who apparently treats a lot of folks with MCAS
Yet he was very Shocked Pikachu Face when I had an MCAS reaction to the medication he prescribed
Sir. Doctor. Sir. This is a classic MCAS problem.

I am glad don't have to explain chronic illnesses like POTS and MCAS to my doctors anymore

A doctor who sees a lot of MCAS patients was concerned my MCAS was affecting the thing he was treating me for
But then he was like, quizzing me on what meds I take?
He was trying to recommend cromolyn like I'd never heard of it, but did not recognize the name of my OTC antihistamine

- with meds start low and go slow
- meds may trigger your MCAS anyway
Researchers on ME and LC:
