The conference featured a number of medical specialists including:

  • Professor Connie Katelaris AM
  • Professor Pete Smith
  • Associate Professor, Dr Katrina Randall – Staff Specialist, Immunology, Canberra Hospital

  • Dr Anne Swain – Head Dietician, Royal Prince Alfred Allergy Unit

  • and many others…

giving us a greater understanding of how to live with our mast cells; medications that can assist us; how to eat the foods that work for us; and how to get the best from working with our medical team.

Topics covered included:

  • Welcome from TAMS Chair David Mayne
  • Mastocytosis: diagnostic criteria, symptomology and manifestations
  • Coping toolbox
  • Exercise physiology
  • Managing surgery
  • Paediatrics mastocytosis
  • Mindfulness and chronic illness
  • Chronic path
  • Bone pain and bone loss
  • Epi pen usage

But by far, the greatest outcome from all our past conferences has been the strength we gain from meeting together face to face, connecting with others also walking their mast cell management journey and offering each other the encouragement we need to keep going and get the best from each day.

The 2019 Conference was held at Animal Health Australia in Canberra from 10 am Friday, 27 September – 1 pm Sunday, 29 September 2019.
