RichGotsPots Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 http://drbradstreet.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/image.pngThis graphic shows how Mast Cells can do a lot of damage if they are not functioning correctly. Maybe it's possible Mast Cells don't just trigger my flare but they do long term damage and thats why I can't recover so quickly. They damager Endothelium cells which are cell I've posted about before. They have affects on angiotension I & II, smooth muscle cells..

tinkerbella Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Well, If you can come to MA and see Dr. Maria Castells, she can sort out if you have any of the nasty buggers. Several people here have come from all over to see here. I go back next month. She is simply the best ~ in my book. My book is good ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
