Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone heard of or been diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome? I've just been referred to an allergy immunology specialist to test me for this and I find it interesting that Fibromyalgia (not just the symptoms of but fibromyalgia in itself) is considered a symptom of this disorder. Curious if anyone else has encountered this or has been diagnosed with this. From what I'm told it's hard to diagnose and takes a long time and a lot of doctors ruling stuff out to even suspect.
