Mold triggered MCAS and now POTS

Does anyone have experience with MCAS caused by chronic mold exposure? At the beginning of my symptoms we did not know that our apartment had any mold (it was painted over by the landlord). It has been 14 months since the onset of symptoms and 8 months in a mold-free environment.

I'm starting to really lose my mind with how many allergies I have acquired, my limited safe foods and honestly explaining that over and over again.

Anyone that has had MCAS triggered by mold...is there hope that this will resolve itself since it was caused by my environment? Or is this the new reality that I need to accept and continue to adapt to?

MCAS and new allergies

Has anyone experienced an increase in what seems like random allergies? I am now allergic to aloe that has a high concentration (98.7%), my silicone watch band which I had worn for 4 months with no reaction, heat (feeling faint, spiking heart rate), a pillow I had slept on for a year and most bath and body works products. I've switched to a lot of hypoallergenic products but I feel paranoid that I am going to somehow become allergic to those as well. I have had so many episodes of all over body itching and I feel like I am going insane.

I developed MCAS after chronic exposure to mold that wasn't discovered until 9 months of living in the space and I have been out of that environment for 4 months.
