Never had this much at once before. Very red skin with slight rash in areas on chest, back, parts of legs, feet and hands.

If I use my hands, it burns even worse. An itch and burning most everywhere. Hard to function.

Anyone had this? If not, I have to assume it’s autoimmune. Also sodium lower than it’s ever been (126).

That sounds literally like MCAS. Low sodium is very common in MCAS, as is the red skin. Are you over hydrating by chance?

Depending on your situation, I would suggest less water, more salt and possibly more fat alongside vitamin D and vitamin K2. Also, if you are using too much magnesium, you may need to take it down a notch due to it interfering with how many other nutrients are being absorbed (calcium, for example) and this can also be a trigger for the immune system.

You hit on a lot my nephrologist said today. He said less water and wants me taking a salt tablet.

Had a test a month ago for MCAS and it was negative, but I don’t know. Would that also burn like hell?

I don’t take magnesium but do take D3. With kidneys, I don’t take vitamin K.

With the timingl, maybe you could become a nephrologist l😊.

MCAS tests simply don't work, you have to follow along with the symptoms to be properly diagnosed.

Do you have Kidney disease by chance? Magnesium can be a problem as well regarding kidney disease, particularly in plant foods considering the oxalates that are associated, but if you ever need something pumpkin seeds are excellent so long as you don't eat handful after handful. Maybe 3-4 handfuls a week and then see how the tests come back, but I have seen good results with this. Pumpkin seeds are truly underrated, especially when they're sprouted!

Haha thanks. I have been working on training to become a functional medicine practitioner, but I have considered specialty before as well. I really hope this helps you.
