Right. They both are OCT. The treatment protocol is to use meds that suppress the mediators released, histamine being one of them. It can get more involved, complex and expensive, but this was a start, a basic empiric start. I'll see him soon, so perhaps I'll see. But the labs he ran were quite useless serum levels of one or two mediators. He doesn't seem to be taking it particularly seriously, though to be fair he doesn't have the resources of the testing done by the Mayo clinic. I'll have to see him to see the results. I guess I'm also not too keen on taking the meds, so I'm not taking this seriously either.
