Wegovy Pill & MCAS
1 week on Wegovy 1.5mg pill for MCAS and I ate pizza. Tomato has been an anaphylactic food. Huge win 🎉
I read a lot on Reddit about the red face disappearing, how long did it take for it to disappear for you? That is my biggest hope to see improvement.
ETA: To clarify. MCAS was an immune condition where mast cells overreact with histamine to foods I’m not allergic to causing an “allergic reaction” such as hives, red face, anaphylaxis, and/or GI issues. I always have my EPI pen and Benadryl on standby. I would not dare try one of my true allergies unless it was under doctor’s supervision. I work closely with my immunologist.
The hope/goal with GLP1 is I may be able to eat more than a handful of items and resolve the red/flush face.
