Summary
Has ongoing symptoms, and has been light sensitive since before they began. A vaccination in January 2026, the first since 2021, left a painful arm and a wiped-out weekend but no change to symptoms. A medication, taken with famotidine after persuading their GP to prescribe both, helped hugely with MCAS symptoms. Severity and overall outcome were not described.
