If you have a whole host of symptoms and no medical diagnosis, you might be in the 9-17% of the general population who have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I’m joined by Dr. Beth O’Hara to talk about her own personal diagnosis of this disease, what the symptoms are, and how you might develop this syndrome.
