Hi Dinydeek,
Thanks for joining us! Yes, you sound like one of “us”! I remember nine years ago, being considered a possible mito case, but a stress test in between hyperadrenergic episodes indicated that “there was no way I could perform that way with a mito condition”. Over time, though, our symptoms start to change and evolve, am I right? I DO believe that our mitochondria can become affected eventually, and I believe it is reversible. I worry sometimes that when doctors focus solely on the mito, they are missing the SOURCE of the original issue. I’d like to nip the source, and then take care of the “fallout” (like our mito issues). That’s part of the trials coming up — I can hardly wait to tell you more. Dinydeek, did Dr. Afrin have any new recommendations for treating the MCAS? Thanks so much! 🙂 Diana
