Are you allergic to the cold?
This one is for you momma!
A friend posted a photo on Facebook (thanks Jenny!) of an article from USA Today.
It makes me excited that researchers are finally acknowledging having an allergy to the cold. My mom is actually allergic to the cold, she gets hives even during the summer if she gets too cold. I think she was in her late 20's or early 30's when she kept seeing doctors and nobody would believe that she was allergic to the cold. Even when I would tell people that my mom is allergic to the cold, people just think I'm joking around with them when I'm totally serious. From what I have seen from my mom's experience being allergic to the cold, it is miserable!
Momma you need to get a copy of this article and frame it!
Actually it started when I was 16. Imagine getting to high school with your face in Hives- I would hide for the first hour. Soon as I warm up the hives go away! Over the years I have grown a little tolerance- only my neck, ears, knees and inner highs break out now, and ITCH- WOW! When I was 16, I went to the doctor- crazy Quake thought I was nervous because by BROTHER was getting married- how dumb was that? Took almost 10-15 years before one single doctor told me it was real but that I would outgrown it in two years. Ha- 41 years later and I still have not outgrown it. Thanks Misso for posting this!
