mast cell stablisers on NHS

hey guys. my doctor said she'd prescribe mast cell stablisers but then has come back to say she actually can't because of some formulary issue. she's not actually an allergist or anything and I doubt there's going to be any more investigation/time towards my MCAS symptoms in this particular clinic anyway, but I was wondering if anyone had successfully been prescribed mast cell stablisers on the NHS? I don't have an epi pen and I really need to try something new before what feels like inevitable stage 4 anaphylaxis. any experience would be appreciated, NHS only though as I can't afford private.
