As 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.

Vacationing-while-having-HATS (Hereditary alpha Tryptasemia syndrome) is not for the faint of heart. The pitfalls can cause a challenge both during the vacation and beyond. It might even tempt one to never leave home.
Perfect strangers have been roped into helping me through dysautonomia in an airport, getting me settled after a fall, helping us get to a hospital in a foreign country for an allergic reaction, etc.
However, I love to travel—so thankfully, we’ve picked up a tip or 20 through the years.

Florida has it all... fabulous beaches, fun cities, copious freshwater rivers & streams...and mosquitoes. So when articles about rendering mosquitoes sterile appear, that may seem like a perfect solution. Those of us with Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia syndrome (HATS), are particularly susceptible to insect bites, especially if they come from mosquitoes carrying Dengue Fever. But there are long-term ecological impacts to fragile ecosystems that must be considered, as well.

Valutivity LLC is celebrating our 4th #RareDiseaseDay2021 virtually "at" the NIH on Monday, 3/1/2021. Last year, I attended #RDDNIH in person at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), met with my doctor at Building 10, and performed piano/vocal concerts at the NIH's Safra Lodge (for adult patients) and their Children's Inn. These events were very memorable, given their proximity to all of the COVID-19 closings.
We had rolled out Tryptasemia.com / Tryptasemia.org in preparation for #RareDiseaseDay2020. In the 12 months since then, we've amassed over 12,600 hits!
