Summary

A person with joint resorption and MCAS reported that PRF injections stopped their joints resorbing and eased pain; CT scans six months apart showed stable joints and damaged discs beginning to heal. Low-dose naltrexone raised their urticaria in a dose-dependent way, so after three weeks without improvement they stopped it, hoping to try it again while treating their MCAS.
