Your Lives - Anaphylaxis

Nut and Fish Allergies and Anaphylaxis - Charlotte, UK

I have life threatening nut and fish allergies which I've been to a specialist at Nottingham for tests etc. which was sooooo helpful. My GP had told me specifically "you will grow out of it, keep trying to eat it to see if you have"!!! It turns out I've had anaphylactic reactions loads of times, just never knew the potentially serious and fatal nature of it! At school teachers used to make me eat fish when I said I was allergic to it, because they thought I was being fussy and silly. (April 2003)
