Thank you @edyong209 Your article truly articulates what it's like to have deep, ongoing fatigue. Many with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome experience chronic fatigue. theatlantic.com/health/archi…
A beautiful piece by @edyong209 that fully describes & communicates the complexity of fatigue & Post-Exertional Malaise in #LongCovid. Ironically am crashy today so going to pull out amazing quotes: "Now, at least, she can watch TV on the same day she takes a shower." 1/

I met a young man whose Dx journey to mast cell activation syndr took many frustrating yrs, incl being dismissed by many. He said “I would’ve thought doctors would be interested&excited to help discover what was wrong. That was not the case.” I think about this a lot #MedTwitter
