Joy A. Schweizer, author of Managing Mad Mast Cells in Daily Life, has faced a range of mysterious health issues throughout her life. After years of searching for answers, she was finally diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP).

​

Finding limited relief through traditional medical avenues, Joy embarked on a quest to reclaim her health. By studying research papers, exchanging insights with other mast cell patients, and self-experimentation, she gradually regained control over her well-being.

​

In her book, Joy shares the invaluable insights and practical strategies she discovered during her journey, aiming to assist and empower others facing similar challenges. Her work is not only an example of the perseverance required by many mast cell patients but also serves as a beacon of hope and practical guidance for those living with MCAS.

Residing in Zurich, Switzerland, Joy has always had a passion for writing. She also enjoys a variety of hobbies, including playing music, photography, cooking, and engaging in outdoor activities. Her diverse professional background as an allrounder has enriched her understanding of people and strengthened her ability to connect with readers on a personal level.
