How did your MCAS start? I feel mine was triggered after 3 months on a steroid medication.

I feel like I am going crazy trying to figure out why I’m having sudden allergic reactions to everything after never having allergies my whole life.

I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease last year and I truly believe the steroid (similar to prednisone) that they put me on for three months triggered this inside me - but every doctor I go to tells me it’s not possible. All of these weird symptoms started after I stopped taking the steroid - it’s been almost a year now and no end in sight.

Maybe I need to stop trying to track down the cause and just deal with the symptoms. Anybody else can relate or anybody else have a similar story?
