Never Bet Against OCCAM: Mast Cell Activation Disease and the Modern Epidemics of Chronic Illness and Medical Complexity | 
pickI was recently (after several years of illness) diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome. Afrin is the doctor who first described it, and I‘m really glad my doc recommended this. Because mast cells can release over 200 different mediators when they‘re activated, the syndrome can look very different patient to patient. If you or a loved one has been lingering with strange symptoms, I highly recommend reading this before your next appointment!
Megabooks They‘re discovering the different appearance in patients has to do with the different genetic mutations to the mast cells and their receptors. It‘s really interesting! 5mo
plemmdog I just happened to be scrolling and his name rung a bell… and after googling I realized he taught me computer science at a high school summer enrichment program. Small world! 5mo
Megabooks @plemmdog I saw that he was a computer scientist before becoming a doctor. Very cool! 5mo
