Hmm, that doesn't line up with what I've read... Dr. Afrin talks about how MCAS is a lifelong issue that only gets worse later on. Things like a history of bloody noses, strange allergic reactions (random hives or asthma), ear infections as a child, etc.
According to him, there should also be at least a couple of active symptoms, such as alternating diarrhea/constipation, edema, skin rashes or hives, foods that are high in histamine, pain while urinating, a constant feeling of being cold, hot flashes, and some others. He also encourages exercise as it helps regulate the immune system.
I certainly don't mean to invalidate your own experience—I know how hard it can be to not be understood—but perhaps there's something else that would explain it better? I'm happy to be corrected :)
