TESTIMONIALS

Sean Less

English Teacher

"Managing Mad Mast Cells in Daily Life is informative, passionate, and harrowing in its ability to detail the life of a woman who will not give up, will not accept the status quo, and will not be defeated by the debilitating pain this horrific disease causes.

It is Joy’s overwhelming positivity in understanding her own situation and equally helping others with their fight against this disease, down to the minutest details, that continually shines through this work.

Her personal narratives make it easy for the reader to understand the many complexities faced by those suffering from mast cell activation syndrome.

Most of all, my greatest hope for this remarkable work is that family, friends, and as many people as possible read this. I have learned so much from this work, and it has greatly enhanced my empathy for those suffering from any horrible disease. It is truly empowering."

"A great book covering a topic that has been frequently ignored by medical science. The effects of MCAS on the quality of life cannot be understated. I myself am a nurse attempting to live and work with this disorder, and I appreciate the honesty Joy puts into the description of her struggles."

Ellie Fletcher

MCAS and CM Patient

"It was a pleasure to read this book, as the author delves deeply into the realities of living with a mast cell disorder. Whether you have MCAS or Mastocytosis, many of your experiences will likely resonate: baffled doctors, confused specialists, and countless hours on the internet, trying to make sense of why your body and mind seem to have failed you.

This book is an invaluable reference for anyone newly diagnosed, undiagnosed, or simply looking to better manage their condition. While the topics covered can be expanded with your own research, it provides many practical tips and insights for staying healthy and sane. It can also serve as a useful tool for your healthcare providers, family, and friends, giving them a clearer understanding of what you're going through. I highly recommend this book to anyone living with this challenging condition."
