Thanks, Heather!
So far I have failed heparin, lumbrokinaise, nattokinaise, aspirin, and other NSAIDS. Every time, each one would cause GI swelling, pain, and yes, bleeding, though not to the extent you bleed. I do have a large number of what they call cherry angiomas, that come and go.
The heparin was the worst, as it seems it may have triggered the event that led the docs to look at mast cell issues.
The Lovaza is a highly purified, high dose fish oil, which I understand can also trigger histamine issues, so I am watching it carefully, and starting slowly. The shunt in my heart is pretty high grade, so I would like to find SOMETHING to help protect against stroke, but it doesn't help if it just causes other issues. It is all a teeter totter, trying to balance out the things I need.
Ruth, it would be good for you to learn about what conditions encourage mold growth, so that when you are looking at a new home, you can tell whether it is highly likely to have mold problems. Mold is almost impossible to avoid completely, but you can improve your chances.
I have had to learn more about drainage issues and condensation than I ever thought I wanted to know, but I am so mold reactive, it is critical. I think having these strange health issues makes us extremely resourceful, as we have to learn in so many arenas.
