That is so helpful, thank you.
The MD was feeling pretty certain about MCAS, but I was puzzled about the normal tryptase lab values. I'm also on a super high dose of antihistamines, and it sounds like that could also affect the tryptase levels?
Thank you so much.

Glad it was helpful, and I’m glad it sounds like you have a doctor who’s aware of more of the nuance with MCAS. That’s very difficult to find >_< .
Since antihistamines are treatment for MCAS, it would make sense that taking them would affect your tryptase levels, but I don’t know for sure. If I have mast cell activation, it would be mild, relative to my other symptoms with these crazy conditions, so I actually haven’t had a chance to pursue it with an allergist.
I hope you’re feeling better though!
