I am a 20's Japanese woman living in Japan. Maybe you know my country as the country with the longest history in the world of anime, manga, sushi. I am a clinical psychologist holding a master's degree in clinical psychology. I am also a private tutor who teaches Japanese language. And I am also the first Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) patient in my country.
I am not a native English speaker. So maybe my English is weird. And since Medium's website is all in English, I still need time to get used to it, so there may be less reaction.
Oh, I think someone asked me, "So why are you here?"
I am here to write about my society and my life related to MCAS. It's been quite a long journey for me to arrive at the name of this disease. I would like to record some of those occasions here.
MCAS is not so famous in Asia yet. In my country, even doctors don't know the disease. I was misdiagnosed so many times that doctors overlooked my MCAS for a long time. In the meantime my health condition worsened. It was really unfortunate. That's why I want as many people as possible to know about MCAS.
That is the reason I write here.
