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

But also I'm...concerned about the number of doctors who have picked up frankly incorrect info about POTS and MCAS

(Not even just the "it's over diagnosed" bias)

hEDS, MCAS, PoTS, ME/CFS und weitere Syndrome werden meist als Komorbiditäten bezeichnet. Diese treten aber in gewisser Hinsicht auf so unglaublich robuste Weise simultan auf, dass sich die Frage, wo genau die Fäden dieser Komorbidtäten zusammenlaufen,

I recognize there are more MCAS patients than there are MCAS specialists, and he was probably trying to help

But immunology is complicated!

And I kinda feel like if you don't even know the name of a common antihistamine then maybe you should let my immunologist handle it

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

IBS can be MCAS! 😨

Gibt es hier noch jemensch, der/die ebenfalls Eingliederungshilfe von der Stadt oder dem Landkreis bekommt und an ME/CFS (und/oder MCAS, PoTS, kPTBS) erkrankt ist? Ich habe heute einen kleinen Leitfaden im Umgang mit mir und den Erkrankungen geschrieben. Würde den teilen, wenn das interessant ist.

We could have had *decades* of research on cfs/me, pots, mcas, etc. if only doctors had LISTENED TO ALL THE SUFFERING OF WOMEN FOR FUCKING DECADES.

That's incredible. Sounds like part of MCAS?

Common knowledge amongst the #MECFS and #LongCovid communities:

- with meds start low and go slow
- meds may trigger your MCAS anyway

Researchers on ME and LC:

- let’s start meds on a much higher dose and increase quickly
- don’t screen for MCAS

TIL att extremt svullna ögon efter att man gråtit är en supervanlig EDS/MCAS grej och vill nu slå amerikanskan som klassificerade mig som ”not a pretty crier” 1994 i ansiktet. Med typ en stol. Som hon är allergisk mot

ever been investigated for mcas?

sometimes it's not fixed IgE allergies but a more general… allergenicity, you might say. which can be treated more generally too

Hey @jaimeharrison.bsky.social I hope you see what we are up against on social media everyday brother. These people are wild and we try. Respect you immensely and keep up the good work in South Carolina. Shout out to MCAS Beaufort! My first duty station

I've seen a photo of someone with MCAS who went through the grid test and reacted to everything, including the control square.

It’s so common for pwME to have MCAS as well. I have 4 different antihistamines per day.
November 1, 2026 at 2:17 AM
and POTS and MCAS and hEDS... not to mention having all those at once 😖
November 2, 2026 at 10:41 PM
tangential but still v annoying version of this I’ve dealt w/ for 10+ yrs is drs WRONGLY assuming my EDS subtype BECAUSE i have POTS and MCAS

like no mf it’s cEDS, not hEDS, cEDS is not just “skin stretchy” “skin fragile” and conversely having POTS/MCAS/GP doesn’t mean u can ignore the fragility
[Medical BS]

I am also concerned that I'm seeing doctors fall into this confirmation bias thing of "you have EDS and POTS, so you probably have MCAS" or "you have POTS, so you must have EDS"

without having anywhere to refer patients for specialist care and further diagnostics

Es gibt Dinge, die sich im Kontext von ME/CFS mehr oder weniger gut quantifizieren lassen, zB

1) Immundefekte
2) #MCAS
3) orthostatische Dysregulation / #POTS
4) #hEDS und Komorbiditäten
5) #SFN
6) Microclots/Probleme der peripheren Zirkulation
7) Virusreaktivierung

If you are on FB, there are MCAS support groups, including an Aus one.
