Tierra from the United States shares her personal experience of MCAS, autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, POTS, celiac
Tierra describes how she first noticed her problems after taking bee pollen for her outdoor allergies, which led to getting blister hives everywhere and heart palpitations. Despite being misdiagnosed by a walk-in clinic, Tierra took matters into her own hands and researched her symptoms, leading to a diagnosis of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) by her
allergist.
Tierra also discusses chocolate as a big trigger for her, giving her migraines. Linda and Tierra confidently discuss how MCAS is more common than people realize, affecting an estimated 17% of the population.
