I have read your post regarding Mast Cell Activation? I have long covid now and am wondering if I have that as well. I do get hives and I’m in Mexico now and have broken out all over my body with a little hive like red rash. I’m guess due to my autoimmune disease, Hashimoto’s, but have never had a specific test done for it. What exactly do you ask to have tested? Is there a name for it? Thank you!

I have had Hashimoto's for over 30 years, controlled by thyroid meds, but it has been verified. Get tested. Plus, Hashimoto's can cause digestive issues. I have never broken out with hives due to Hashimoto's. Don't jump to conclusions. Find reliable help.

Testing for Hashimotos is anti (antibody) TPO. and anti TG. TSH and free T4 are often checked with the antibodies. They reflect hormone levels to discover if you are overactive or underactive.
Lots of tests for lupus but first screening test is ANA in serum. I am not aware of lab tests for MCA but there may be.
