Medications That Help Me Manage Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
13
items After a severe covid infection in 2020, I developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It took a little over four years to find the correct diagnosis. I was misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia and kept getting worse until I finally met a mast cell specialist....
I take 3 of these pills every morning. It helps me so much with chronic fatigue. I definitely notice if I don't take my B12.
Carlyle B12 Vitamin 3000 mcg, 180 Veg Tabs
I take one of these in the morning and one at night. It really helps my immune system stay strong.
NOW Foods Vitamin C-1000 with Rose Hips, 250 Tabs
I have a prescription for 4.5mg and this helps SO much with pain. You do need a prescription and it isnt covered by insurance. Compound pharmacies can offer lower costs than traditional ones though.
Low-Dose Naltrexone: A Future Gold Medalist?
This is Amazon's version of Claritin which is an H1 blocker. It helps because MCAS disrupts histamine regulation. I take 10mg 2xday.
Amazon Basic Care Loratadine 10 mg, 300 Ct
I take one of these every morning. It helps a lot with my immune system.
Quercetin 500mg Vegan Capsules, 200 Servings
It's a bit expensive but NADH helps with energy and brain fog. I can function without this one but I function better with it.
NADH 50mg + CoQ10 200mg + D-Ribose 150mg, 120 Veggie Caps
This collagen blend helps with my hypermobile ehler danlos syndrome which is a common comorbidity with MCAS. I take it at night for my body to use during repair while I sleep.
Horbäach Multi Collagen Protein 2000mg 180ct
I take magnesium at night to help with muscle cramps. Sometimes I'll do every other night.
NatureBell Magnesium Glycinate 500mg, 240 Ct
I take B6 every few days. Too often can cause constipation.
Piping Rock Vitamin B-6 100mg, 250 Tablets
Ashwaghanda can cause worse histamine reaction in some MCAS patients so please consult your doctor first and start in small doses. I only take one pill every 24 hours which I believe is only half the recommended dose on the bottle.
Bronson Ashwagandha Extra Strength 360 Caps
I take this when I take the NADH. They work together well to help your body create ADP.
Carlyle Acetyl L-Carnitine HCL 500mg 180ct
This helps me with water retention and digestion. Secondary benefit is it can help with weight management if you're having thyroid issues.
ForestLeaf Berberine 1300mg w/ Cinnamon & Bitter Melon
This is prescription only. Its common name is pepcid and it is typically used to help with heartburn. It's an H2 blocker so it works in conjunction with the loratidine (claritin) to help regulate histamine function.
