DONATE TO TAMS
Please contribute to helping us educate and support both people with Masto, and the treating health and medical practitioners. Many people with Masto are provided with limited correct information especially when trying to adjust to their diagnosis. We seek your help with fundraising and developing these resources to make a real difference to these people’s quality of life.

NEED HELP?
TAMS receives a lot of emails, calls and messages from people seeking diagnosis and treatment for their mast cell illness. A lot of these ask the same questions, so we have put together some information to help you on your diagnosis and treatment journey.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIR
These are difficult times, unprecedented in our generation. The world may never be the same again when we come out of this Pandemic however, we are all in this together. As we try to not let our Mast Cell disease define us neither should we let COVID-19 define us.
I have had a lot of communication over the last few weeks relating to Mast Cell sufferers fears relating to their individual battles and how the virus may impact on them through lifestyle changes as well as if they happen to acquire the virus.
As you are all aware, one of the biggest triggers of Mast Cell degranulation is stress and these are stressful times, however, the stress we feel has a catalyst that is far beyond our control but there are things we can do to assure our coping mechanisms stay intact.
