@erinrackham: Day 14–Ketotifen for MCAS (.25 mg 2x/day). Still loving the Ketotifen. 🎉 It’s expanded my sensory capacity enough to be outside without sunglasses almost every day this week. 🤯 I’ll start increasing the dose this next week—working up to .5 mg 2x/day. 🤞🏻 #Ketotifen #MCAS #mastcellactivationsyndrome #cromolynSodium
I have this medication on my list, these are really helpful! I’m getting a lot of relief right now from a combo of LDN, tirzepatide, Luteolin and PEA

My allergist wouldn’t prescribe this to me because I “had anxiety”. I said I got anxiety over my allergies and eczema 🫠🫠🫠

I’m confused. PEM is not a sign of MCAS

I wouldn’t normally ask this but I’m shooting my shot- I have MCAS/POTS(probably under-diagnosed and suspect am actually hyperadrenergic type) with hEDS & I am meeting with Mayo Clinic Neurologist tomorrow & I was going to ask about chromulim sodium (sp) & will add Ketotifen to the list to ask her and team about, is there any other? I’ve gone off everything except migraine in order to rule out meds amplifying fatigue (I stopped propranolol, Tizanidine, and hydroxyzine). If you have any suggestions I’m all ears and TYSM

Did you try cromolyn? My Dr wants me to try that instead of ketotofin

I’ve dosed up to 2 mg and I don’t even notice a difference. I also take liquid cromolyn. Really wish I felt something different from it.

Would you say you had a better result with ketotifen then abilify? I bombed out with abilify and Cromylin gave me severe cramps and everything under the sun.. ketotifen is last stop. Long COVID mcas pots four years. And I’m as bad as you were.

This is really interesting. My daughter takes Zyrtec to manage her itchy/histamine symptoms, but she has so many other symptoms that aren't well managed. Makes me wonder if additional MCAS treatment would be helpful.

Do you take it instead of a different h1 blocker like Zyrtec?
