Campaign: | To show those who suffer severe reactions that there is hope |
For some people, it’s an allergy to nuts or bee stings that causes them to go into anaphylactic shock.
When I have an attack, I have anaphylactic-like symptoms, but the doctors don’t really know why it happens.
My throat and tongue swell up and I can’t breathe.
It started when I was about 14 and it kept on happening every week.
The worst time was around two years ago, when I ended up in intensive care in an induced coma.
I’m now using my experiences to show people with similar conditions that they’re not alone.
I hope my Fixers campaign will help others like myself realise they can live normal lives.
