  1. I too have this problem. I usually just click on 'visit anyway'. But this is what McAfee says about the site: Whoa!Are you sure you want to go there? The link you clicked is taking you to: http://forums.dinet.org/index.php?/forum... McAfee tested this site and found files that contain viruses, spyware, or other potentially unwanted programs. Read the site report I've never taken the time to read the site report, perhaps there's more information there...
  2. Thanks Sarah for the information! Enjoy the rest of the day☺
  3. Does anyone know what the normal results range for each of the 4 QSART testing spots(wrist, knee, ankle, foot) are in microliters? I have a printout of the QSART screen with my results and a statement in the comments section of the attached report that says :"The QSART,a measure of postganglionic sympathetic sudomotor function is absent from the foot." However, I am curious as to what a 'normal' result is. It's been a few years since I had this test and I can't ask the doctor who oversaw it as he was not interested in providing any follow up care. Any help is greatly appreciated!
  4. Thanks for sharing such great news! You must be really proud. I agree that tapping into our creative side is good for the mind and soul. What an amazing way to spread joy!
  5. Thank you Katie for the article! You always share get information!
  6. Thanks everyone for your responses! As luck would have it, I did have one of my red blotches when I was doing the 24hr histamine test and I was able to have my blood drawn within 12hrs of this so I would hope that if there was anything to catch it would have been caught. I do understand that there are other things that could have affected the results,so I haven't completely ruled out MCAS as a possibility. Also the Imunologist felt that my symptoms weren't 'severe' enough to be MCAS.?. Has anyone ever heard of Cholinergic Urticaria? I'm wondering if this might be a possibility. I came across this while doing a search for 'sympathetic discharge and hives'. Cholinergic Urticaria involves acetylcholine and the parasympathetic system. I do have hyperadrenergic POTS so maybe could this be a compensatory mechanism that results in a release of acetylcholine when my norepinephrine is high or when my temp is increasing? Any thoughts?
  7. Hi all! Although I've been a member here for almost 2 years, this is my first post. I keep getting 1 red, itchy blotch somewhere on my neck or jawline. It will last about an hour then go away. It is very itchy and gets quite red. Sometimes there seems to be a small spot in the middle of it, other times not. I have been tested for mast cell issues and everything came back normal. I do take a daily antihistamine but it doesn't seem to help. I can't seem to link it to any particular food. I thought that it might be hormones but that doesn't quite fit either. The fact that it is always on my neck or jawline puzzles me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
