So, I am a lover of good words, profound sayings, and easy-to-digest pieces of thought that can transform your soul, change your actions, and simply make life better. Take, for instance, a beautiful older lady in a Walmart pharmacy who saw me about to explode with two sick little ones and the pharmacist telling me […]

This should be happy times (and it is) minus the few things that get in the way. Food, scents, pine, off gassing new clothes, off gassing new gadgets, wine, weather, and the list goes on and on. It can be isolating, mind-boggling, and truly a test of self. The season is over. The food is
Dysautonomia came up during my doctor’s visit today. This is not the first time I have heard of dysautonomia but this time, it makes sense. This time I realized that maybe there was something to this as I had stopped eating salty snacks as a wedding is coming and losing a few pounds would be
Surviving, thriving, or maybe even hiding while living with MCAS? Today and this past year I am surviving. Striving to get back to my “normal” has been insanely hard.

Scary, isolating, and devastating, and no one seems to get it except other MCAS patients. Why? Most likely because no one really knows about it unless it’s affecting you or someone you love.

So why can sometimes you and I can tolerate some foods and other times we can not? I mean even the same food! Why are some scents tolerated and other times they are not (same scent), and so on and on… one day it’s ok the next it is not…. This always baffled me and
Why MCAS causes fatigue is a really good question. The reason I’m writing about it today is because I am so tired and there is no reason why. My kids are grown, my house is clean, my work is done, it’s time to wake up and enjoy…… yet I’m so tired and tired of being
I am a web designer but nothing I have designed has come this easy and this fast but here’s the issue….. I have no one to show this to. This is why maybe this is so needed. I know no one personally that I can discuss MCAS issues, triggers, symptoms, medications, and just plain how
I had been searching and Googling MCAS for months then my son introduced me to ChatGPT. I never thought anything could replace Google but I was wrong. ChatGPT gave me a more concise explanation in one well-written article. Did I think I would be finding articles with AI – nope, but if we can get
