It took a few years but I’ve figured out what the onset feels like. Sometimes it happens too fast and I can’t catch it before, but then if someone finds me they can administer the inhaler and reverse it. I feel like garbage afterwards no matter what but it’s…. Less bad with the albuterol

No direct insights except to say that I have had paradoxical reactions to multiple supposed mast cell stabilizers, including oral cromolyn. Sometimes (often, in my case) it just… does the opposite of what it’s supposed to do.

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

It seems to? And I can tolerate the “regular” rx version instead of paying for compounded. Makes it even cheaper than OTC. I’ve switched it up over the years tho — previously I did ceririzine for over a year. They say it’s good to change sometimes
