What kinds of doctors have you been seeing?  What kinds of tests have you had recently?

Nanci,

I responded to your other post, but I also want to add my agreement with Heather that there still may be things to rule out, whether or not you also have a mast cell problem.  

There are other disorders and diseases that can cause some or all of your symptoms.  There are  immune deficiency disorders that cause symptoms similar to mast cell disorders.  Some people don't produce antibodies to certain bacteria and take infusions for it. The chronic infection and feelings of adrenal exhaustion make me wonder, too, about other possibilities.  A good reason to see an expert infectious disease medical doc, someone other than the docs who haven't been able to help you over such a long period of time.

In my experience, the doctors first ruled out cancers, then auto-immune problems, then infection and allergies (bacterial and fungal), and finally tested for a mast cell disorder.
