"The Unholy Trinity"

Dr. Erin Nance has completed a series for the month of October where each day she covers a diagnosis that disproportionately affects women and is often missed or misdiagnosed as something else.
On day 21, Dr. Nance covered MCAS - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and mentioned its nasty sidekicks it is often with; Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and POTS/Dsyautonomia.
You can find more information about MCAS at GARD - Genetic and Rare Disease Information Center, along with NORD - the National Organization of Rare Diseases. Feel free to look up Ehlers-Danlos while on the sites as it is also classified as rare at this point.

Giving credit where credit is due: Christine Miserandino revolutionized the chronic illness community by sharing her Spoon Theory with the world on her blog: https://butyoudontlooksick.com Because of her contribution, those suffering with chronic illness are often referred to as "Spoonies" and we often refer to energy stored and expended in units of spoons.
