Standing up should not feel like running a sprint. This complete guide covers evidence-based POTS treatments — from salt loading and compression to medications and exercise protocols — with the research behind each approach.
You have been told your labs are normal. You have been told nothing is wrong. But you know something is wrong. Here is why standard blood work misses conditions like MCAS, POTS, small fiber neuropathy, and seronegative autoimmune disease, and what tests to ask for instead.
A psoriasis diet works best when it combines weight loss for overweight adults with less alcohol and a Mediterranean eating pattern. The National Psoriasis Foundation (2018) says diet should support medical treatment, not replace it.
Treating mast cell activation syndrome requires a layered strategy combining H1/H2 antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, dietary changes, and targeted supplements. Here is how clinicians approach MCAS treatment, step by step.
Hashimoto's symptoms usually start with fatigue, slow weight gain, brain fog and feeling cold, and TPO antibodies can be raised for years before TSH changes. Here are the early signs, the tests to ask for and who treats it.
Small fiber neuropathy (SFN) affects the tiny nerve fibers that control pain, temperature, and autonomic function. This comprehensive guide covers causes, diagnostic testing, conventional and regenerative treatments, and why standard nerve tests often miss it.
Twelve of the 13 types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are confirmed by genetic testing, while hypermobile EDS is still diagnosed with the 2017 three part clinical checklist. Updated criteria are due in December 2026, and a fibronectin blood marker is under study.
MCAS diagnosis requires meeting three criteria: multisystem symptoms, lab evidence of elevated mast cell mediators like tryptase, and response to mast cell-targeted therapy. Here is what that testing and timing involves.
Diet does not replace DMARDs for rheumatoid arthritis, but specific dietary patterns reduce inflammation and may lower flare frequency. Here’s what works.
Yes, H1 and H2 blockers are taken together in MCAS, usually cetirizine or fexofenadine plus famotidine twice daily. This layered protocol covers doses, timing, mast cell stabilizers, supplements and when to add each layer.
Dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx) on the hands and feet is treated first with a super-potent steroid ointment such as clobetasol for 2 to 4 weeks, plus trigger avoidance. Recurrent blistering hand eczema can step up to PUVA, delgocitinib cream or systemic medicines.
Mast cell activation syndrome causes symptoms in nearly every organ system, from flushing and hives to brain fog and anaphylaxis. Here’s how to recognize the pattern.
