Okay Donna - enough.  I can't even understand the articles I dug up on this
new one of yours.  no wonder the allergist/immonologist wanted another
opinion - they didn't understand either.

Add that new doctor - might need it to understnad any of this.

No problems of that sort - not yet, anyway! <chuckle>  What I can understand
of the reading I did about it online tells me that it's part of the immune
sytstem's reaction to various things, particularly to allergans, and is
considered a major factor in asthma and in our ol' bugaboo, inflammation.  
But it souunds like it can be the result of differing things such as immune
system stimulation or a disorder of the mast cells.  Perhaps the reason for
adding another doctor is to identify precisely what is causing your tryptase
to kick up.  It sounds like that can be a complex thing to work out.

I know how frustrating it is to keep adding more doctors.  Look at it as
though you are a dectective trying to work out the mystery of your body's
dysfunction.  The new immunologist is just another witness you have to
interview.  Hopefully, they're forwarding info on so you don't have to tell
too much of the same old story again.  That's the part that really gets to
me.

(and at least your specialists aren't a minimum of 75 miles away!)
