Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else here has been dealing with a MAST cell problem. It was discovered when my Internist ran a Tryptase blood test because I had a rash that just would not go away. After I flunked the test several times and the allergist couldn't come up with a reason for my hive like rashes they did a bone marrow biopsy. That was to see if the level was caused by a rare blood cancer. It was clear. I am now on a protocol of zertec and prilosec. I'm up to 2 each a day. The allergy specialist I saw at Mayo Clinic gave me this protocol to follow.
I am having inflammatory arthritis problems too. The Mayo Rheumatologist thinks it is secondary to UC. I guess since it no longer has my colon to attack it is now picking on my feet and hands,
