....when you stand in the middle of the grocery store knowing that you are there for some strange reason but as hard as you try you can't figure out what it is you need, why you are even there, nor what you must do!! All you do is stand there saying to yourself....WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????!!!

Grocery stores are a big trigger for me - too much input - I go into OVERLOAD!! Tongue

......you have to consider where every bathroom is located in case of an emergency!

....... when your friends and family begin saying - Hey, you're turning all red, do you need more medicine?

........ when everyone who sees you red and doesn't know you well says, Oh, you look so healthy! I never would have thought you were sick!!!!!!

Lisa ,

grocery stores are a no for me now . All the others are bang on Wink

...............when you sit in your car on a lovely day with the aircon on and the safe air circulating Wink

.......................you avoid bathrooms which are too clean Wink

....................... when going commando ( no undergarments ) is a health choice

............ when you keep a hospital bag even though you are not expecting Wink

I am having a bad day , so these bits make me laugh Wink

many hugs
Jose

You know you have a mast cell disorder when ......

You come up with cute nicknames for your pills, like "Mr. Bene", and greet them like old friends when you find them in the dryer lint after doing your laundry.

You can recite "what a mast cell disorder is" to the EMT's (under brain fog no less) with the ease of saying the "Pledge of Alligience".

You know all the medications that the vet prescribed to your friend's allergic dog.

You wonder when Cover Girl will get with the program and put some steroid cream base in their "Invisible Concealer." Wink
