Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
To quickly say what anaphylaxis is: anaphylaxis is a rare but life-threatening allergic reaction. When referring to an allergic reaction what one means is that the immune system has mistaken something harmless, such as nuts or dust, as an intruder, something which shouldn't be there and releases histamine. The release of histamine causes a range of symptoms which affect different systems within the body. In patients with anaphylaxis the main systems which are affected are the respiratory, digestive and circulatory systems. This causes a wide range of symptoms from difficulty breathing to vomiting. What is an everyday treat, such as peanut butter, to the majority of people becomes something deadly to someone with anaphylaxis.
I have suffered with Anaphylaxis since August 2010 and in the nearly 6 years of suffering with the condition I have suffered hundreds of anaphylactic reactions. The Anaphylaxis Campaign is an amazing charity which supports the sufferers of Anaphylaxis and their families. The charity helps bring awareness and fights for sufferers of the condition to have a better life. Please help me support this amazing charity by donating anything you can. Thank you :)
During March 2017 I shall be competing for the title of Miss Galaxy Scotland at the UK Galaxy pageants. I have already been awarded the title of Miss East Lothian Galaxy and this is part of my charity efforts as this title.
