I Was Diagnosed With Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Today. Is This Something That Other People With HS Commonly Have As Well?

A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, OR

I also finally have referral to a specialist surgeon who deals with HS tell me options for treatment and a Rheumatologist to see if I have RA. I’m exhausted, but this is the first time I feel like a doctor has me on a good plan for consults. I’m just daunted by this diagnosis.

Thank you both! I’m so grateful for my gynecologist. She’s the most helpful doctor I’ve ever had for anything. I hope things improve from here and I can help folks in my area with referrals.
