Systemic mastocytosis can be a complex disease. Understanding your condition is critical to ongoing care and prevention of complications. Ask family or friends if they can help you monitor and care for your condition. Here are some self-care tips:

• Identify and avoid your triggers.
• Treat allergic reactions. If your doctor recommends epinephrine, always carry a dose with you.
• Follow your doctor's recommended care and ongoing monitoring.
• Wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace or carry a medical card identifying that you have systemic mastocytosis. Ask your doctor to give you information for health care professionals that you can carry with you in case you need emergency care.
