For the last 5 and a half years I have been suffering with unexplainable wide spread symptoms that no doctor, consultant or specialist could pin point. Suffering with mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, I was referred to Gastro and have had many invasive and unpleasant tests. No doctor ever looked at me as a whole, until last month when I finally decided to go private in hopes of some answers.

The doctor is 99% sure my symptoms are all down to a condition called Mast Cell Action Syndrome and has referred me to a specialist in Liverpool. It’s an extreme relief to have a diagnosis, but the reality is is that this condition is unknown to the majority of doctors and staff in the NHS and it’s incurable. But you never know what fundraising and the future hold to change that.

Every little helps so please donate what you can. I will be walking from home to Chatterley Whitfield mine and back on the 11th October. I struggle to walk more than 2 miles nowadays without suffering the day after so at just over 6 miles this will be a real push for me. Please donate and share to help others get diagnosed and this disease heard about.

Thank you!
