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.

Hi. I am going to a PCP (not really mine bc they keep leaving) today because I’d like to get a referral to get an MRI done to see if it’s more to my back pain than just fibromyalgia. I have been suffering with a mountain of ailments over the years and have been diagnosed with a few things and have been told that I’ve had some issues with things that were then just put to the side. I feel that when someone looks at my chart all they see is fibromyalgia so everything else gets ignored. I feel that… read more
