Hi I was wondering for all mast cell you are suggesting take zirtec and Zantac right? I know you say double doses…there are 75mg and 150mg of Zantac. Which one do you recommend? Can we just take one or the other? Or do you recommend both? Also is that all you need to stop mast cell. Oh and if it stops it does your body start to heal from it?

Another is if neck is twisted (which mine is) and might be cutting off spinal fluid. Then should diamox help or would you need that fixed to help the flow? I heard so many side effect of dimox. How much do you take dr. Diane? And your son bc I have a fighter who might need it!

Does mast cell cause are collagen to become more flexible? And do you think it’s the cause of autoimmune? Bc I NEVER had symptoms growing up up except scoliosis and then I had my 3 kids and after the third is when my neck started hurting. Then I found out I had an arachnoid cyst on spine at t3 and block spinal fluid so I had that drained. And at the same time right after my neurologist thought I had ms and put me on steroids and a month after that is when all my loose joints started and other eds symptoms. I know this is some kind of an autoimmune thing! Don’t know if taking treatment for autoimmune will helpor make things worse. Thanks for listening and hopefully will get your imput on all this!!!!!
