🚨 Mum’s Chilling Allergy Alert! 🚨
Meet Kirsten Evans, the brave mum from Hednesford, Staffordshire, who faces a unique and painful allergy – she’s allergic to the cold. ❄️😱
Kirsten, 41, can’t even stroll down the supermarket’s freezer aisle without breaking out in painful, itchy hives. Imagine feeling like the Elephant Man after just a few chilly minutes outside! 🥶😖
Last February, what started as minor rashes during school runs soon evolved, leaving her terrified of winter. Diagnosed with cold urticaria, a rare condition triggered by an autoimmune disease attacking her thyroid, she’s had to alter her lifestyle dramatically. 🚫⛄
Her trips to the supermarket now require multiple antihistamines and sometimes an epi-pen to manage the risk of anaphylactic shock. Instead of enjoying outdoor play with her kids, Kirsten now battles anxiety over the painful blotches that appear on her skin. 🏠👩👧👦
Despite all the challenges, Kirsten remains positive, hoping for a treatment plan that will help her reclaim her life. She’s bravely sharing her story to raise awareness and remind others facing similar symptoms to seek medical advice.
Stay warm and bundled up, Kirsten, we’re all rooting for you! 💪❤️
