Not really an allergy

You ever been told there's something wrong with you that makes you numb? Like literally just numb?

Today I went for an appointment thinking I'd be referred for an allergy test or maybe they would help me there and then know what I'm allergic to. I've been trying to figure it out on my own for weeks...is it bread? Dairy? gluten?
Obviously it's been difficult to find out with my dietician putting me on a jelly/liquid diet. But I was still getting the rash.
After talking for about 45 minutes and showing her photos if where it shows up and telling her about phoning 111 and needing loads of steroids as I looked like I'd been out in the sun way too long...She knew what it was.
Chronic uticaria is a rare form of hives which can only be treated with antihistamines. She explained I did the right thing phoning 111 and starting steroids when it covers my body but there are also things I need to look out for. If the rash is on my mouth or eyes - I need to go to A&E. If I've got the rash and I get a fever and/or my temp gets to 39 - go A&E. There is a chance that this could get into my blood stream or go further into my skin causing anaphylaxis which is NOT good.
Is this forvever? No.
I rested thinking maybe it was a few weeks...but when she said it could take up to 6 years to get over I was back into panic mode.
I have this rash on some part of my body EVERY day. To be worrying every day for 6 years that it could do serious damage is terrifying!
Causes can range from anything...main cause is low iron which I obviously have. Can be triggered by foods with additives in...Therefore there's a high possibility it was triggered by the amazing hospital food we all know and love which is why my first experience of this delightful thing was when I was admitted.
My vitamin D is also stupidly low which is frustrating because I need sunlight but then heat can make hives worse. But of a tough one there but hey Ho!  All in the life a crohnie, huh?!

for you, mom

After being diagnosed with Behcet Syndrome, my mom handled the news better than anyone else probably ever could. She didn't let it effect her life and instead continued to be one of the most positive and uplifting person I've ever known.  Side effects from tablets have her kidney failure. I remember being in primary school and her being yellow in a hospital bed and just being told she was poorly. Not long after that we're sorting out a cupboard in the house and watching a VHS video of someone explaining dialysis and how to work the machine etc. As young children we would help our mom up off the floor and we would help with so much around the house to help out.  Years of steroids definitely took its toll, especially towards the end of her life. Her bones would break by just walking. She had a heart attack one year which she was given an inhaler for, one day she used her inhaler and her fifth invertebrate snapped with mere millimetres of bone protecting her central nervous sy...

Talking Health

I had a lovely talk with such a nice dietician lately. She was so understanding of Crohns Disease and seemed to really have incredible knowledge of IBD. She works very closely with the IBD team at Exeter so it was nice. But what I wanted to talk about here was an organisation called 'Talking Health Taking Action' which was founded in 2011. Jane and Jean have worked together for 20 years and started Talking Health to help provide people with chronic illnesses with self-management support.  "We work with providers across the NHS, social services, public health and within the voluntary and community sector. We specialise in providing support to organisations seeking to develop programmes that enable people living with long term conditions to develop self-management knowledge, confidence and skills."  She offered me this incredible support and was surprised when my first reaction was 'that sounds great, how can I sign up to help other people?'. Whilst so many peop...

Burnt toast

The moment my mom was sent to hospital I knew that was it. She was so poorly, confused, skin and bone and needed a machine to help her breathe. Living so far away was difficult to see her but I had to. I had to say goodbye whilst she still knew who I was. Her last words to me were 'I know you're talking to me like this because you think I'm going to die. I'm not going anywhere'. I didn't sleep for the whole time she was in there. I kept my phone on loud 24/7. She accidentally called me once saying how well she was and she'll be home soon. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep and missed 40+ text messages and 30+ missed calls whilst my phone was on loud. I woke up, looked at my phone and as my sister called I answered it and said 'she's gone isn't she?' And she had. I put the phone down, knocked on my next door neighbours door and as soon as she opened I just shouted that my mom died. I cried for for like 5 minutes and that was it. The funera...
