[Katybug]

Does anyone know of a good doc in around the Baltimore area that is good with diagnosing and treating mast cell issues?

Hi Katy-

The closest one I know is Dr. Lawrence Schwartz in Richmond, VA http://www.intmed.vcu.edu/home/divisions/rheumatology.html

katybug- do you see anyone in Baltimore for your dysautonomia? I'm also in Baltimore and see Khurana. He doesn't know anything about Mast cell issues and i have not had a good experience with him.

Mack's Mom - Thanks...I will keep him in mind. There is one hemotologist at Hopkins that has systemic mastocytosis as a specialty but who know s if he will see people with a lesser form of mast cell issue.

julieph85 - I see Dr. K for my POTS and migraines and have had a good experience with him. If you want to PM me, maybe we can talk about what's happened with you. I have been told by several docs that Dr K is the only adult specialist in this area. I do have a cardiologist I see who is the doc who dx'ed my POTS. She is not a dysautonomia expert but she is a very compassionate doctor who is willing to take time to listen and research. I don't know for sure but I think I'm her first POTS case, but, she at least knew enough to send me for the TTT and do the dx. She is also the one that started my Florinef and beta blocker. I'll PM you her name and phone number.
