Anyone else have multiple conditions with MCAS?

I suffer from hyperacusis, tinnitus, screen sensitivity, chronic silent migraine, MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) and have to beg my family not to wear perfumes around me or use any cleaning chemical with strong fumes or fragrance, dry eye desease, Postprandial hypotension, B thallesmia and have constant brain fog and feel miserable and paranoid everyday.

I'm even reacting to one of my clothes. I thought it could be the detergent smell? I also highly suspect that my dry eye disease and screen sensitive eyes are because of MCAS.

I'm taking antihistamines in order to keep my allergies at bay (i also seem to have allergy related dry eye) but I'm thinking of starting ketotifen (however i may have to consult a professional first) I don't know if it's even safe to take long term or how I'll react, also did ketotifen cure anyone's reactions to certain objects and food? I'm experiencing a reaction to some objects like this TY sequin cat plush, and my 7000x ps2 (which isn't even on) which i 100% believe has dust in the fan and hopefully when cleaned i stop reacting, but I'm too afraid to clean the fan even with a mask on and I'm even reacting to one of my backup phones, I wonder if its the adhesive on that after it was repaired? It's crazy. This is such a confusing disease.

Weather changes triggered dry eye again?

We were having storms here a couple of weeks ago and now the weather has become very hot, a few days ago, I randomly developed sore irritated and burning eyes randomly and my eyes feel strained cant even look at the screen for longer.

Movies on my phone are especially straining my eyes and the symptoms will remain the whole day, they'll be sore even if not staring at screen and water.

Anybody else having this issue? Ai will stop writing midway

I will write a story prompt and this Ai bot will not continue like before as in wont end the story and stop writing at one point, it was okay a few weeks ago and only started happening these days? Is this a glitch?

It just stops writing, and then my points are wasted, what's happening? My prompt isn't even long. All my points needed for the bot haven't ran out, and it will still do this? It's happening with the mistral bot for me. Can anyone recommend a good chat bot on poe for story writing that uses 64 points and won't do this?

Been drinking water from a moldy jug, should I be worried?

I've been drinking water from a moldy jug and i'm packing right now as I have no way to detox it out of my body.

I didn't know it had mold. The mold is greenish and spotty and big. What do I need to know, and how do I detox myself naturally? How will it get out of my system?

And what should I worry about? Basically, I've been pouring water into my steel water bottle from this dark jug, only a flashlight revealed it, that was growing dark green mold and i need to know if it's dangerous and will cause long term damages as I've technically ingested moldy water.

I also have MCAS, so I react way worse to things, and now I'm panicking, realizing that all my mysterious symptoms of brain fog and post nasel drip may have been from the mold! I also washed the steel water bottle with lukewarm water and dish soap after finding out.

I developed MCAS after living in moldy homes for years. After we moved into a newer home that was not moldy, I stopped reacting, i wasn’t getting sick anymore.

Then my PC began developing mold due to rains and moisture around it. Also it's probably because the PC and the table were cleaned with a wet cloth multiple times, and the water may have gotten into the vents. I decided to take the PC apart immediately and discovered mould in some areas, not an infestation, luckily.

How I figured it out: I noticed that when I wiped the stand (it’s an all-in-one desktop) with rubbing alcohol, some black residue came off. At that moment, I realized that the pc may have mold and the reason I had become sensitive to my phone case. It was a terrifying realisation that i spent time in that room for a long period before the mold spores from that pc affected me, and it is the reason my MCAS flared again.. luckily it was a white pc so mold was visible inside.

After discovering it, I became very paranoid and started shaking from anxiety. I sprayed everything in that room, especially the entire computer table, the printer, and anything near the PC, with raw white vinegar, treating the area for about an hour. I then washed everything after 1 hour and wiped the table down again after the vinegar treatment that was done outside. I also cleaned the pc outside my home while wearing a mask in fear of spreading spores indoors. I don’t think spores spread indoors, hopefully.

Now I’m terrified to go into that room without a KN95 mask, and I’m also afraid to use the bathroom near that room without a mask. Very paranoid I’ll develop a new MCAS trigger or even a new allergy, even though I ventilated the crap out of my room after the cleaning process.

Since this happened, I’ve had anxiety attacks. My OCD is also extremely bad, I’ve taken multiple baths (four times) and immediately wash my face and hands after entering the room and I still repeatedly wash my hands after touching anything in that room. I have raynauds as well, so my fingertips start swelling if I wash my hands too much. I literally also had to clean all the chargers and wires in that room. Even the power strip.

Mold has destroyed my life and my mental health and i then see people making light of it in other subs blabbling: "It's just fear mongering. Mold is everywhere around us. It won't harm you"

I can’t be around chemicals at all after mold toxicity for years, and even have multiple chemical sensitivity: vinegar also affects me and causes wheezing. Perfumes, insect spray, and other chemicals also trigger symptoms. Vinegar was initially what caused my wheezing, too and it hasn't gone away. Maybe it's also the hugh pollen count in my area? so I can’t use it as a frequent cleaning chemical either. Im terrified that i will develop a new allergy and sensitivity to my electronics or even food if I went in that room without a mask and unfortunately Air purifiers are too expensive here in my country due to export prices, taxes and everything.
