Thanks for the link, camas. Very helpful.
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of and finding treatments for complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

Interesting, you're building muscle. On my research-to-do list: is histamine catabolic? Or is the craving for protein due instead to the testosterone? Did you begin that recently?I'd noticed recently that I have an increased need for meat so I'm working getting more too.
Some people may be different than others but to claim that mast cells are spontaneously activating without the presence of some infection (and most likely hypothyroidism, hypocortisolism, or some other endocrine insufficiency causing the immune dysfunction) seems ridiculous to me. I have yet to see one person recover from CFS based solely on mast cell stabilizing treatments.

Another, from the recent florinef/BNP thead:Look at Table 3 on the following article for a list of activators: Mast Cells and Stress—A Psychoneuroimmunological
Perspective.
"Response of cardiac mast cells to atrial natriuretic peptide"

Forget the cardiac mast cells, it is the peritoneal mast cells that degranulate mightily from ANP (Figure 1). I'd guess that other MCs also are sensitive to ANP, while cardiac ANPs are the exception.
funny how many of us seem to have asthma/breathing problems. I'm running some experiments right now which may yield some interesting results. I'd probably rather have a bronchodilating inhaler than an antihistamine if I had asthma, which of course I do.
here's a cite for the histamine->osteoporosis connection, if anyone's interested:The biggest concern right now is my bone health, so he ordered a bone scan and another test of my vitamin D levels which have been low. I've been using a vitamin D light since I can't tolerate the supplements.
I hope that I notice any report that you make here about the cromolyn inhaler in future. Should be interesting.Yeah, I have an albuterol inhaler, but it mostly just makes me jumpy. I've had better luck with the herbal formula 'minor blue dragon.' My asthma is mild, but chronic. I'm hoping the Intal inhaler, which is cromolyn sodium, will generally improve my breathing. Apparently you can't get it in U.S. anymore because it uses CFCs as the propellent.
