In this episode, we hear the extraordinary story of remission from mast cell reactions which has totally transformed the life of Keeya Steel. Keeya was a guest on Season 1 of the Podcast where she described how difficult her life had become. You won’t recognise her this time around.
After a lifetime of symptoms, Keeya Steel was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome in 2015. Soon after, in effort to cope with the disease, Keeya created Hell's Bells and Mast Cells, a blog and collection of memes raising awareness about chronic illness and disability through humour. This past spring, thanks to a new medication, Keeya's MCAS symptoms went into remission. Her daily dysautonomia and EDS symptoms also disappeared. Keeya lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota with her two poodles, Quixote and Sancho.
