I am not getting evaluted for MCAS untill April. (I have reactions to everything under the sun including having someone touch me too hard and zantac and zyrtec have really helped along with nasacrom and chromium (s?) eye drops) In the meantime I have come down with yet another infection. The walk in clinic PA felt, based on symptoms and X-ray, that it is Haemophilus influenzae. An opertunistic bacteria that is in everyone but only causes problems when your immune system is compromised. Something usually only HIV/Aids/cancer patients get. I seem to get these lung infections every year shortly after I come down with a cold and then have to go on lots of steroids and antibiotics to get rid of it. I've gotten other viruses and infections a healthy adult should not get and it is clear my immune system is compromised.

The question is, Is this somthing that those with Mast Cell disorders commonly have? And if so does treatment of the Disorder make things better?  I really feel like as  I get older its going to be one of these stupid infections that is going to kill me.  Any insight is appreciated.
