Mcas - Blog Posts
Hey y'all! I just got diagnosed with MCAS and have been told to follow a low histamine diet.
Do any of you have any tips? Perhaps food brands you can eat?
help me get my partner with MCAS stabilized
Hey all.
The good news: I’ve found True Love™️.
The bad news: my long-distance partner is disabled with worsening chronic illness and struggling to live alone in a state with very poor medical care. Most recently, a flareup of what we suspect to be MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) has worsened every other ailment and severely limited what my partner can safely eat, touch, and inhale without risk of anaphylaxis.
This is scary for both of us. I’m in the process of trying to relocate, but my partner needs more support than can wait on me to find a remote job I can take with me. This GoFundMe is to help me afford to take time away from work (I do not get paid leave of any kind) and help get my partner stabilized with frozen meals and medical travel.
What your donation will help me cover:
-travel expenses
-food for me so I can avoid draining my partner’s supply of “safe” foods
-loss of 3 weeks income as I take unpaid time away from work
-more freedom to experiment with what my partner can safely tolerate; with MCAS, the only way to learn what is safe is through trial and error, as what is tolerated by one person may not be tolerated by another
-any excess will go towards safe foods and other caretaking and accessibility needs
