Better Sleep with MCAS
Let’s talk about getting better sleep with MCAS. Sleep can be a major issue when you have a complex chronic illness like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Without adequate sleep you can’t function at your best, you are chronically tired, and you are prone to accidents and making mistakes.

Knowing your symptom progression can save a lot of time and energy when you aren’t feeling well. This post outlines the benefits of knowing your symptom progression in a Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Flare.
What is Your MCAS Rescue Plan?
Having an MCAS rescue plan in place is key to managing symptoms. Mast Cell Activation symptom flares can occur from environmental exposures, eating triggering foods, having an emotional upset, a physical injury, work stress, or any combination of stressors that add up to overwhelm your system. Mast cells are involved in immune responses too, so if you get sick your mast cells will send messages to your brain through your nervous system that your body is under attack. You can react to hormonal changes like your monthly period, perimenopause, thyroid issues, and endocrine disruptions stemming from toxic exposures. You can even have a more pronounced mast cell reaction simply to mast cell activity in your body.
