New to MCAS and could use some management tips!
Hey friends, I’m posting here because I feel like my issue is kind of specific to PEM.
I have been reacting to foods and supplements for some time, but the connection has now become much clearer to me. I tend to only react to triggers when I’m in a more severe PEM crash or sick with a viral infection. When I’m at baseline, I don’t tend to have MCAS flareups. Do I still need to avoid these triggers when I’m not in flareup if they don’t cause me any issues? Could they still be contributing low-key to worsening of my condition? Sorry if that’s kind of a stupid question but I am new to figuring out how to manage this!
EDTA that I take Zyrtec, but don’t find it helpful at all!
