Tryptasemia & Co-Morbidities

Screenshot 20250222 154110In recent years, there have been quite a few outbreaks of Listeria (recently, 11 have died from Listeria in supplemental shakes). In my twenties, I experienced listeriosis, caused by Listeria monocytogenes. I was literally concerned that I might die. 

Which of the following is likely to identify multiple copies of TPSAB1 (at this point of medical progress in February 2025)? I've spoken to HATS researchers, and this is a summary of the current status.

I've done some government advocacy, but this is not one of the projects I worked on--but I'm so grateful someone did!

October is the official month to boost awareness of Mast Cell Disorders such as Hereditary Î±lpha Tryptasemia Syndrome.

Recently someone brought the National Health Service's test directory to my attention. As of July 2024, if not before, the test for Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia is also known as R436.1 in the United Kingdom. For those of us in other countries, this is still valuable information, because If someone refers to the test by that name, we'll at least know to what they're referring.

PXL 20220102 214212000As mentioned in a previous article, vaccines can be tough on people with Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia Syndrome. In 2022, the Moderna booster for COVID-19 was no exception. Bottom line: 2 sleepless nights, and the day between them was not too bad.

Will I have an attack today? Talk about the $10,000 question! This is an article about my attempt to predict my upcoming health.
