Broken by The Invisible

04/04/2026

Good morning all!! I’ve been wanting to get back on here and do another live after having the IV hydration however it definitely did not work in my favor. Many of you know that long covid blessed me with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) about 2 years ago.

I honestly thought I was done with that. Apparently not. I had no idea that it would just spring up again. It is not the fault of where I had the IV done. B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, etc are all recommended for long COVID.
HOWEVER, the niacin in the B complex, the alpha lipoic acid and the glutathione are not good for MCAS.

After I got home from having the IV the first thing I noticed were that my cheeks were very flushed and red. I figured it may be from the niacin but also thought it would pass. The next morning I felt more clear headed but my cheeks were still hot and flushed. By day 2 I was unsteady with walking, very dizzy, had a headache and extremely fatigued. My feet also itched like CRAZY!!

Those key ingredients caused a major over production of histamines and prostaglandins and brought on a full MCAS flare. I had to restart cromolyn sodium and both a H1 and H2 antihistamine. It took a few days but I am now feeling better.

So now I know! I feel bad though. As I said it was not anyone’s fault. I just didn’t realize that the MCAS would flare up again. I honestly thought that part of this journey was over.

On another note, I started chapter 15 of my memoir!! It’s getting closer to completion and I can’t wait to share it with all of you! 💕

I started seeing things that weren’t there. Shadows, flickers, movement in the corner of my eye.
