What if the word “syndrome” is keeping people from getting the care they need?

In this clip, Dr. Theoharis Theoharides (@dr.theoharides) shares why it’s better to say mast cell activation rather than mast cell activation syndrome - because not everyone has elevated tryptase, and too many people are dismissed because of it.

Don’t let a normal lab result be the reason you’re sent home without answers. Lead with symptoms. Lead with activation. Push for doctors who listen, even when the numbers don’t tell the full story.
