Misdiagnosed and often Misunderstood MCAS Patients

The NIH mentioned within their research article related to the Response to Mast-Cell-Directed-Treatment, and I quote "Patients with unrecognized, undiagnosed MCAS will often see multiple specialists and ultimately stop reporting symptoms owing to poor experiences with the medical system. Unfortunately, these patients are at risk of being misdiagnosed with somatization disorder or Munchausen’s syndrome."    As I personally delved deeper into gaining a better understanding of why patients with MCAS are often treated this way, I came across another article that explains how any why MCAS symptoms can vary in severity, (which has sometimes been the interfering factor for receiving the appropriate standard of care for patients suffering from symptoms once they reach a medical provider for evaluation).  According to the following link:  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) symptoms are characterized by their unpredictability and spontaneous onset. These symptoms can affect various parts of the body and may come and go, with severity that can fluctuate over time. Triggering incidents, such as severe infections or medical procedures, can lead to a sudden increase in symptom frequency or severity. The condition is often idiopathic, meaning the exact cause of the symptoms is not clear, and they can be triggered by a wide range of factors, including allergens, toxins, and underlying illnesses.
