Tracy, from the United States, shares her personal experience with various medical conditions. These conditions include MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), a condition where the mast cells in the body are triggered to release chemicals causing symptoms such as itching, flushing, and swelling; POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), a condition where changes in position cause an abnormally high increase in heart rate; RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis), a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and pain in joints and can lead to joint damage; Fibromyalgia, a condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and tenderness in muscles and joints; and finally, a potential diagnosis of EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissues in the body and can cause joint hypermobility, skin that is easily bruised or stretched, and other symptoms.
