Mast Cell Activation Disorder
I need help. My doctor told me that he thinks a lot of my problems are caused by Mast Cell Activation Disorder but that I have too many problems he needs to solve before we can get to that; he says “one thing at a time.” I understand that completely but I need help on trying to get myself on a diet that helps me. It seems like every time I eat I have trouble breathing and I get bad...

Because in the weeks when I don’t really have to do anything, when I can spend the vast majority of my time at the computer or in front of the TV, just being lazy, I usually feel okay. Stuff hurts, but stuff always hurts, and it’s background noise at this point, I don’t even think about it. But then I start thinking about how I’m not thinking about it, and how...

It's scary and does feel like you're dying. I have POTS and I've had two episodes like you described. I felt like that for at...

My first Ambulance Experience
I’m writing this to share my story with other people who suffer from POTS and other chronic illnesses and to ask what you guys think may have caused this. Last night I was having bad heart palpitations. I always call it my heart skipping beats because I believe that’s what it actually is but anyways I was sitting there playing video games and I started to feel sick. I never feel very...
