Do you feel like your body is constantly at war with the world around you? Do you feel powerless, overwhelmed, and isolated by reactions you can't control?
If so, welcome to the world of Hista-Maniacs-a term coined by the author to portray the immune system as an overzealous knight defending a sickly castle. For those battling Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), this knight's defense often goes haywire. Out-of-control mast cells release chemicals called mediators, triggering inflammation and chaos throughout the body.

This book is a lifeline for Hista-Maniacs everywhere. Retired minister and Army officer Sharon Kiesel knows this battle all too well. Forced to sleep in her car and campers to escape her mold-invaded home, she fought back against chronic inflammation, despair, and the collapse of her social life. Now, she shares her hard-earned wisdom alongside empowering advice from others who have faced similar challenges.
Inside, you'll discover practical strategies to: Avoid triggers and create a safe, healing environment. Decode your body's warning signs before a reaction spirals out of control. Build a resilient immune system to regain your health and hope.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with MCAS for years, this book offers a compassionate and realistic approach to navigating the unpredictability of chronic inflammation.
