CBT to Improve MCAS Symptoms
Post Content
The title of this post is probably incredibly off putting as many of us have been told to pray away our illnesses or got hit with “have you tried yoga?” After years of suffering on countless medications it can feel like the most insensitive and ignorant bs someone can throw out there. I’ve felt the same way for years. I’ve had little old ladies pray that I’ll be able to walk again etc to my extreme anger since I was old enough to understand what they were saying. What on earth makes this different? Over time I’ve developed mental illnesses (as almost all of us have from my interactions here) and experienced some benefits from CBT on top of medications in the holistic approach mental health has taken. I started studying neuropsychology and got hit with debilitating symptoms that ended up being MCAS. My focus shifted. A lot of you have noticed mental health problems that came with mcas and I got to cracking. Histamine is a neurotransmitter. That became my first discovery. The scientific community has known this for many many years and put a pin in it. Many providers aren’t aware of this fact. It is categorized among dopamine, serotonin, GABA, etc. There is insufficient information about histamine’s role as a neurotransmitter, but that has been changing lately. It got me to thinking though. If depression can be treated with medication and CBT with varying success, why can’t histamine disorders? I’ve been asking around on the logistics from multiple professors at my school who are all accomplished in their respective fields and got some different answers, but they all agreed that it’s entirely possible. With more research and data as well as cooperation from the subgroup. Now I’m only one person and while I can absolutely experiment on myself and possibly improve my own condition, I want to see how far it can go. What do you all think? As the subgroup I would require cooperate from, are you willing to consider such a future treatment and do you believe others would be willing to help in developing a therapy to be combined with other medical treatment?
