Something someone mentioned on another forum sparked a thought and I wondered if anyone had any experience or opinions about masto flare ups and hormones.

As a teen (puberty.. didn't get my first menstral cycle until 15), I had flushing, rashes, lightheadedness, low bp etc like crazy...

In mid to late 20s, just after birth of my 1st son, low bp, disiness, lightheadedness, a few epsodes of syncope were thrown in...

now I'm getting mild food reactions, osteoarthritis, increased bone density, breathing issues, flushing, nausea, vomiting, headaches, fatigue, brain fog etc.

Have always had joint and bone pain....

Just wondering, if maybe my issues are just hormonal, or maybe my hormones are setting off masto symptoms..

what do you think...

Thanks Deborah!

It is a definite fact that hormones affect mast cell disease women! It has been mentioned many times that we feel more susceptible to attacks near our periods. For shockers like you and me (welcome to the IA club!), those hormones are practically predators!
