Title: Churg-Strauss Syndrome Post by Starflower on 03/07/11 at 01:31:09 http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/churg-strauss-syndrome/DS00855 Churg-Strauss Syndrome is a rare disorder also known as "allergic granulomatosis" that starts with an "allergic" phase, progressing to eosinophilia and finally vasculitis... it definitely has symptoms that overlap with mast cell disorders.

Title: Re: Churg-Strauss Syndrome Post by Starflower on 03/08/11 at 12:02:46 I've been doing some reading about vasodilators and constrictors... leukotrienes, prostaglandins, prostacyclins, thromboxane, etc... trying to figure out why I bleed so easily and why Singulair is helping me so much! I just followed a link that led me to Churg-Strauss Syndrome and I thought, "Wow... this sounds like something we need to know about." :-? Heather |
Title: Re: Churg-Strauss Syndrome Post by Josie on 03/09/11 at 02:42:52 Hi heather , I am in a bleeding phase again , from my bottom . It isn't compromising my blood pressure but I am feeling yucky ( tired , a bot more fatigued ) . I had a disappointing visit with my doctor recently , but have a next appointment in may , which I hope to bring forward . Anything you find on Bleeding will be very interesting to me . :-) Thankyou Josie |
Title: Re: Churg-Strauss Syndrome Post by Starflower on 03/09/11 at 03:46:36 I'll start a thread on it... maybe not today, but soon. After extensive testing I know I'm not in any serious danger, but it surprises me how easily I bleed these days!! It can definitely contribute to fatigue. Heather ps - rectal bleeding or uterine bleeding? :-? |
