Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a condition where the allergic system goes haywire. This occurs in many patients with EDS, POTS, or Dysautonomias. Individuals with MCAS are prone to unpredictable rashes, hives, or skin sensitivities.
⁣
MCAS can be hard to diagnose. There are blood and urine tests, but these are frequently normal. Through the use of antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and other medications, the symptoms of MCAS can often be brought under control.
Dr. Saperstein worked with a group of mast cell activation specialists, an effort led by Dr. Lawrence Afrin to propose new diagnostic criteria to update a Diagnosis Journal that was first published on January 22, 2014. This journal is called Diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome: a Global “Consensus-2”. It is a must-read for all neurologists.
We are now accepting new patients from Arizona and from out of state. To learn more about our Center.

Since you guys don't take insurance, my plan (after I win the lottery) is booking an appointment the same day!

I'm curious if, since Antihistamines don't actually "destroy" histamine, that if you take H1/H2 antihistamines, would that mean that the histamine in your body would overrun H3 and H4, and perhaps produce INCREASED sympathetic/parasympathetic neurological symptoms?

Hey, I really appreciate your videos, but as an autistic woman, I find background music to be extremely distracting and irritating. Of course, it's everywhere, not just your content but since you specialize in neurology, you should know how this can affect us. Thanks.
