I’ve got MCAS and will occasionally get IC flares because of the MCAS after sex, any pelvic surgery (endometriosis) and recently got a flare starting microdosing mounjaro to try and reduce MCAS symptoms (managing these diseases is just hell!).

Anyway, two weeks into this latest flare I read about lactoferrin on here and thought I’d give it a go in desperation. It actually worked.

I felt less symptoms immediately and a week later I am entirely symptom free. Still taking the mounjaro and no issues.

I only took a 300mg daily dose as I was nervous of adding something new - it still did the job.

I recommend trying if you haven’t yet.

Right, I know MCAS is the worst and we live our lives trying not to react, but I’m here today to talk vanity and skin.

I have never had any Botox or fillers, I use red light 3x a week on my face only and I use minimal products for fear of reactions.

Ladies/gents, what are you able to tolerate and not when it comes to treatments? Facials?

I’ve been considering a hydrafacial but terrified of it being a disaster for the ol’ mast cells.

Let’s chat beauty for once and try and feel normal for a second!
