I'm so very lucky today! My wife thinks you're beyond precious, and always gushes when your name is mentioned. She is hard at work, so I'm doing my best!

One of her favorite moments was in a video where you met KeltonFX and their stunning Hindu inspired Symmetra cosplay. I'm sure you have seen quite a few things in your work/travels. Do you have any experiences, big or small, with creators/makers you'd like to share?

(And a personal thank you for your work! I can't imagine how little rest you (personally and the general voice and creator profession) must get. Appreciate the content, respect the world of effort that goes into it all happen.)

I came here to ask a MCAS question, so thank you for your response on the other question about it.

So, I guess I do have a somewhat related question. We have coined the term "histamine bucket" as a way to explain the threshold between symptoms changing from managable and unmanagable. We have switched to a mainly low histamine diet, referencing the 23 page pdf by the Swede science team AND around the clock antihistamines. Much of our time has been identitying the leeway for foods that aren't bread or rice; Plainly, the response to a spoonful of vinegar may be equal to a pound of strawberries. But we can't only eat strawberries!

On to the question: Does the average person (without a disorder like MCAS) also have a "max capacity" for histamine, and would an overflow more or less be a targeted response (like a more susceptible body system, i.e. hives or rhinitis) versus a more generalized diffuse systemic response?

Thank you!

Haven't seen this one asked or referenced yet, and briefly reviewed the site before asking:

Preferred side sleeper, but have to sleep with a wedge for more quality of life/medical reasons. I get less out of my mattress than I'd like, but partially because I'm in less contact with it.

Have you/Do you/Would you consider working with adaptive or posture changing tools, as can be applied to the any/every mattress?

I sleep like junk, hips generally hurt, can't really get comfortable, I have a pillow mountain to negotiate for -any- quality, I want better, and not convinced that with my needs that "just get something new" is going to actually help instead of giving me an expensive new thing and an old thing to throw away.

Reference: In a healthcare setting, one of the "golden numbers" is a 30° elevation for stomach/gastric needs.
