The Vitamin C conundrum we have right now: if anyone has suggestions open to them all! 😊
Sadly this doesn’t make me feel great at all BUT it DOES make me basically a pirate so that’s something and is kinda cool??. 😂 🏴☠️
1. I am not absorbing nutrients well
2. My vitamin C is clinically low for the last few months (this is noooot good)
3. Because I am having allergic reactions to so so many things (these reactions though I do my best to not let them happen are honestly out of my control because of my mast cell disease).
4. I have had anaphylaxis twice to vitamin C otc Supplements (it’s the fillers in them not the vitamin itself) there is no “safe” option we can find. My amazing doc is looking for a “pure” version that would contain the vitamin itself only and no additives but it can also not contain fruit peels or citric acid from what we can guess.
5. Because I have had anaphylaxis to every fruit I’ve tried since after my remicaid infusion incident. In the beginning of my last cell disease my amazingly beautiful cousin Maddie and her fiancé Michael mailed me a fruit basket 😭💕 and I could eat things then. My progression downhill was pretty fast tbh.
6. So I am banned from trying fruit at all until my immunologist gives me the okay (this probably won’t be for several months,a year) and even when that happens it will likely have to be a monitored “food challenge” in their office.
7. I have a huge medical team working on this and love them for it. Nutrition, GI, nurse case manager, social worker, PCP, allergy/immunology,etc.

Frustrating. Exhausted. Beyond sick everyday. I am just gonna complain because I need to right now. I know it’s just hair and I know it’s vain but giving up yet another small thing (all the small things and the big things really have been adding up lately) to chronic debilitating illnesses is just really the pits. ☹️ #chronicillnessawareness #mastcelldisease #anaphalaxis #hairlosshelp #allergictotheworld #hairloss #hairlosstreatment #chronicillness #chronicallyill #disability #disabledisnotabadword #butimreallytired #imtiredofthisgrandpa
