🌸 Welcome to Bloom & Breathe!

Gardening is my happy place as I navigate life with hereditary alpha tryptasemia (HaT) and MCAS.

Here to share the beautiful, the frustrating, and everything in between. 🌿

@DiaryofaSickGrl I have imagined this many times. I feel you.

🖤 Heartbreaking news from North Royalton, Ohio.

Our community is mourning the loss of a firefighter who died in the line of duty.

Sending love and deepest condolences to their family, fellow firefighters, and everyone affected.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

@ThePOTSPostman Nothing is consistent for me. Everyday is an adventure. I wake up and wonder what the day will bring. I have HaTs & MCAS.

[🌸 Bloom & Breathe @BloomNBreathe]

@TheRawSol I have HaT and MCAS. Diagnosed after finding an amazing allergist, but took over 2 years of suffering and seeing over 20 specialists. I’ve identified some of my triggers and now avoid them. Also, lots of meds - antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers and Xolair.

@pineconepatch I am on so many meds that it drives me crazy, but at least I’m seeing improvement. It’s not easy. I hope it works for you!

[🌸 Bloom & Breathe @BloomNBreathe]

@ThePOTSPostman I was grateful for the suggestion from a member of my family. I’d been very unwell for nearly 2 years - actually became nonfunctional, couldn’t work or manage daily life. I had seen 21 specialists and had so many tests, scanned head to toe and still no answers.

@gymrat_bookworm Same!

@gymrat_bookworm Sad but true

Good video.

🔴 Ever wondered how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) might develop?

Could persistent infections and disrupted mucosal barriers contribute to mast cell activation?

@ImmunoThings As someone living with HaT & MCAS, I find this fascinating! So much attention goes toward managing symptoms, but understanding what drives persistent MC activation is just as important. Is there growing evidence supporting this connection, or is it still largely theoretical?

[🌸 Bloom & Breathe @BloomNBreathe]

@ThePOTSPostman So true

🌼Ohio gardeners! Before you yank out those tired summer flowers, don’t forget to save some seeds! 🌱

A little effort now = fewer trips to the garden center next year! 💰

What seeds are you collecting this fall?

@aparachick Too many doctors have lost (or never had) curiosity and compassion. Never give up.

[🌸 Bloom & Breathe @BloomNBreathe]

@dr_todd Cromolyn and Ketotifen helped me tremendously.

[🌸 Bloom & Breathe @BloomNBreathe]

@michaelloc22433 @dr_todd Could root cause be genetic for those with HaT? It’s the question that keeps me up at night.

October is #MastCellDisease Awareness Month and today is #MCADSAwarenessDay!

Anyone diagnosed with Mast Cell Disease (#MCAS, #Mastocytosis, #HereditaryAlphaTryptasemia) can enroll in the @MCDiseasesUnite MCD Patient and Provider Registry and provide their data. There are surveys about patient demographics, quality of life, treatment, diagnosis, and symptoms that can be completed at your own pace.
